Mike Bonifer, Adios, Vacilar?

For a brief instant in that workshop at NYU, I let myself imagine, darkly, that maybe vacilar was no more, that maybe it had been rendered irrelevant by the marvels of computing, and would have to be stricken from the GameChangers lexicon. And then I came to my senses. Not true. Not true at all. Never less true, in fact.

Life happens when we take the local, not the express. When we are open to what and whom we run into unexpectedly, we make possible what we can’t imagine or bring into being on our own, and find new and productive avenues for expressing ourselves in the world.

Getting lost is the first step toward discovering what no search engine can find.
