The Echo Principle was seeded by a series of life-altering events. These events were produced by actions taken in the course of everyday life, of everyday business, of everyday “being,” by everyday people. They were made by individuals I had never met, many born long before I came into this world. They were made by friends, by parents, by siblings, by colleagues, by strangers, and of course by myself. Each of us moving through the world unaware that our actions, many of them simple and seemingly unimportant, are impacting the destiny of thousands.
