The human capacity to choose how to participate in the world empowers all of us to pass along something different from what's been passed to us.. We become part of the long tradition of people who have dared to make a difference - to look at things as they are, to imagine something better, and to plant seeds of change in themselves, in others, and in the world. (Johnson, 2001, 171)
