I agree it is so important to respect that a community will act as soon as it’s ready. If people are used to being dependent on (strong or weak) leadership, it does take time for them to discover and trust their own power. Usually their power is in the currency of intangibles like grassroots efforts, ideas, and social networks. No one can do this discovery and trusting for them; it’s work they must do for themselves. We can only invite it, again and again.<BR>
