It sure is a mess

The planet.

Our consumption.

Our love of war.

The gap between rich and now very poor.

The media (and message) we consume.

You see, if we're going to imagine and then build a more beautiful world, we have to stop this craving to fit in and maintain the status quo.

Speak up.

Speak out.

And then act.

I mean, even something as mundane as the food we eat or choose not to eat, can have a profound impact on the planet. Less waste, less plastic, less harm.

Likewise, more appropriate language, better stories and walking our inclusive talk can do more than create another vacuous training programme.

But in truth, if you're going to do anything revolutionary (to you at least), you've got to look within.

Who are you at your deepest, most profound level?

The stuff you own, or something more fundamental?

Just imagine if you arrived at a point (with that question or something similar) with a recognition that you're everything you see -- bound up in the same way as the waves with the ocean. In that space, do you honestly think you'd sh*t in your own back garden? I very much doubt it.

Blessings,
