I made a News Year’s resolution to keep a journal.
Our perceptions change with our experiences. Everything we learn influences our assumptions. Those assumptions shape our expectations.
Just for myself, I’d like to have a record of how my world evolves. But I’ve decided to keep this journal public on the internet so that White Rock citizens can learn with me, better understand why I do the things I do and make the decisions I make.
I’m hoping this will encourage more thoughtful discussions on issues in the city. Sharing my thoughts, assumptions and expectations, I’m hoping to engage you in more open dialogue.
I have been learning a lot the past three years as a City Councillor. The past two months has been especially interesting. I’ve attended a series of lectures by people who try to put ethereal and abstract philosophical ideals into real and tangible practice – what does a “comfortable†city look like?
These are interesting minds. I’m hoping to share what I learn from them with you.
In this journal I expect I will be talking about democracy and urban planning – theory and the application of principles.
I chose the name “pursuit of idyll minds†because I like how there so many ways to interpret the phrase: Motivated visionaries or lazy dreamers, pursuing or being pursued? You decide.
Share your thoughts in the pursuit of idyll minds.
