We had the honour and privilege to share beautiful moments with Tim, to make common plans and to work together with him. We could not see each other often, but when we met we felt so comfortable and well with him… That was one of the many talents of Tim.
It is a great loss for us personally and for the social movements that lose his ability to keep things together, different people, different groups and ideas, make them work together looking for common grounds but always allowing everybody to make a step forward from their positions in the right direction. Because Tim had a vision of another world possible and actively has been contributing to build it. When last year the global economic crisis violently crushed on the American society, Tim used to tell us: “There’s things happening here that I thought I could have never seen in my life!”. There was hope in his words, he wanted us to look at the opportunities to build, as he used to say, the “globalization from below”.
We will try to follow up what we learned from Tim. We will miss him.
Ciao
