"This was taken the day before the beginning of the Collective Wisdom Conference on "New Perspectives For Resolution In Small And Large Group Conflicts."  My friends and colleagues had not yet arrived.  I was feeling a little disoriented and a bit lonely in this German city when I spotted this underground along the bank of the Main River.  Someone was walking and the late afternoon light cast a shadow of their presence on the wall nearest me.  It felt prophetic of the events ahead.  Until we meet our shadow, little else can be resolved." - Alan Briskin
