Unbelievably I was in Rome Italy yesterday, marching with the predominantly peaceful crowds, mostly young but many other age groups too. I was inspired and regret that the coverage around the world focused on the isolated incidents of violence. Today Sunday, I returned finding myself drawn to my old journalist days interviewing people of all ages. Most are supportive of what is happening and many were frustrated that a few anarchists (less than 1000 out of a crowd of 200,0000 according to the police) are the ones garnering all the media attention. Today hope was in the air with tourists throwing coins in the Trevi fountain and youth speaking passionately with such wisdom about the need for a better future. In the end they say, this movement is not political; it's about ethics! <br>
<br>The New York Times today had an article that spoke clearly of our 5th principle: Wherever it happens is the right place.<br><br><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/16/sunday-review/wall-street-protest-shows-power-of-place.html?hp">http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/16/sunday-review/wall-street-protest-shows-power-of-place.html?hp</a><br>

I posted our friend, Tom Atlee's compilation of Occupy Resourses on Facebook and thought you might want to also - <a href="http://tom-atlee.posterous.com/occupy-wall-street-what-is-involved-in-making" target="_blank">http://tom-atlee.posterous.<u></u>com/occupy-wall-street-what-<u></u>is-involved-in-making</a>.<br>
<br>
I also enjoyed this video of how Occupy Wallstreet has self-organized so that everyone's voice can be heard on the way to developing consensus - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dtD8RnGaRQ" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?<u></u>v=6dtD8RnGaRQ</a>.<br>

Occupy Phoenix attracted over 1,000 people who gathered in the center of our city yesterday.<br>
<br>
Feeling our global connection as we all hold the space for what is emerging,<br>
<br>
Warm wishes from a warm Phoenix afternoon,<br>
