Mauna Kea and a third way

[Kalena]

If you look around you, it's just possible we are living in a transformative moment. In many parts of the world, you see the powerless, the dispossessed protesting against the powerful whether governments or other institutions. You see the unrepresented defying entrenched power and demanding a voice in systems that are designed to keep them quiet. Indigenous people, people of color, women, all are resisting the old ways of getting things done. A third way? If anyone can find it, we can here in Hawaii. It has to be built on deep listening, no doubt about that, and genuine respect for the Other who is way too often vilified in our discourse.
