A Little About Me (email: ross.rocketto@gmail.com)
My name is Ross Rocketto. I am 23 years old and living in St. Louis, Missouri. My background is in electoral politics and about three months ago I finished a fellowship called Coro. Coro was an experience that changed my life; it opened me up to seeing the world in ways that I would never have imagined previously. My personal slogan went from “what can I do for you” to “what can we do together” over the course of the nine-months and that is probably the most significant shift that I’ve experienced over the course of my short life. I am originally from Houston, Texas and some of my loves include politics, basketball, and people.
This site was created as an expression of my desire to connect conversations and purposes that spawn joint-action. The problems of a globalized and integrated world are too large and systemic for one nation or group to tackle alone. Interaction and collaboration are essential if we are to tackle the problems of today and tomorrow.
Purpose of the Site
The purpose of this site is to create a place for people to connect conversations, join purposes, and foster joint-action. This is a safe space for people to be in inquiry about what it means to them to connect with others in a way that fosters deep, purposeful, and powerful action. I will share my own thoughts where appropriate and mostly I will seek out what others are saying using their thoughts as a point of reference to forward the larger narrative.
Just in case you are wondering, the quote under the banner is from an Ancient Mayan Text called the Popol Vuh . I first heard about it from a friend of mine named Nick and then read it in a book entitled Presence written by Peter Senge, C. Otto Scharmer, Joseph Jaworski, and Betty Sue Flowers.
Here is a website I’ve been looking at a lot recently that is really onto something…
