Rules Of Thumb Book - Icebergs and Ducks

I wanted to share this wonderful blog entry on the way change happens. I think that this take on the change going on in communities all around us...under the surface...far away from the "politically sanctioned initiatives" that we see in the media, describes the essence of the process that those of us who work for community change acknowledge and observe. This is also the chaos, the messiness, that Margaret Wheatley refers to when she describes community change. These little petri dishes of creativity that we discover "under the surface" are weaving themselves into (as she would say it) chaotic strange attractors that represent much of the meaningful change of these times.
