culture cultures found great human stories teach various within wonder
to find those great stories of wonder found within various cultures that teach us something about human experience.
ecosystem forest language spiritual
Every language is an old-growth forest of the mind, a watershed of thought, an ecosystem of spiritual possibilities.
guess pitches solid threw
I threw too many pitches but I guess it was solid for my first outing.
culture paper would-be
On paper I would be a rather bold individual in our culture.
hero perfect brave
Heroes are never perfect, but they're brave, they're authentic, they're courageous, determined, discreet, and they've got grit.
country dog government
We accept it as normal that people who have never been on the land, who have no history or connection to the country, may legally secure the right to come in and, by the very nature of their enterprises, leave in their wake a cultural and physical landscape utterly transformed and desecrated. What's more, in granting such mining concessions, often initially for trivial sums to speculators from distant cities, companies cobbled together with less history than my dog, the government places no cultural or market value on the land itself.
oil sacred drilling
Mining in BC's Sacred Headwaters is like drilling for oil in the Sistine Chapel
haiti drink rum
Only, in Haiti, I realized, is it possible to drink rum and haggle with a god.
culture threat
Change is no threat to culture.
mind growth forests
Language is an old-growth forest of the mind.
destiny giving patient
So be patient. Do not compromise. And give your destiny time to find you.
memories past axes
In the West we cling to the past like limpets. In Haiti the present is the axis of all life. As in Africa, past and future are but distant measures of the present, and memories are as meaningless as promises.
life-changing culture possibility
All cultures through all time have constantly been engaged in a dance with new possibilities for life. Change is the one constant in human history.
motivation inspiration sea
To have that powder blown up your nose is rather like being shot out of a rifle barrel lined with Baroque paintings and landing on a sea of electricity.
