<STRONG>think together</STRONG>, that knows what it
values most deeply in common, that can organize its
<STRONG>meaning</STRONG> (knowledge and understanding)
and its <STRONG>caring</STRONG> (what it does and
doesn’t value) and its <STRONG>relating</STRONG>
together (how we view and treat one another). It does
so in such a way that it can act coherently and wisely
together in circumstances of change, shock,
opportunity, stress, and recovery from the
unexpected. <BR></DIV></SPAN>
