As a young man stressed and torn between studying medicine and playing drums, balance was always subject to discord, and "wellness" always required adjusting the interplay of passion and reasoning. And, in the marriage of passion to reasoning, I learned that how well we learn to listen strongly influences the quality of what we learn. Consistent with that then, the quality of how we "listen to life" has the capacity to integrate or disintegrate our relations to the Earth community as a whole. Consequently, since one of my chief prescriptions for health concerns careful listening to promote quality change, Motto Citizens LLC developed from many years of friendship and discussions with Wolf Richards about promoting health, through audio contemplation. As a modern physician and socially conscious philanthropist at a time when chaos is spreading around the world, I think of myself as a counterpart to ancient physicians who used the beat of the drum to induce change. Now, to the beat of Spoken Word for Global Conflict-resolution, at Motto Citizens LLC, careful listening amplifies reasoning, for humanity to learn to heal.
