<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">after having listened to our ranger zwai talk earlier in the day about the daunting battle these majestic animals face, it's not surprising i suppose, that i reached up to brush away tears. looking at them lying there as they have for millions of years i started to understand the collision of past, present and future that they talk about at <a href="http://www.sabisabi.com/">sabi sabi.</a></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i wish i could convey to you the absolute awesomeness of the experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i wish i could pull you inside my chest so you could feel the tug firsthand. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i wish i could find the words that would infuse you with the elation of walking up to a giraffe and watching his curious, quizzical face stare back. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i wish you could feel your breath catch in your throat at the tangible energy of a rhino pawing at the earth, feet from where you sit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i wish you could have felt the sense of awe so powerful your soul literally wanted to bow in honor to the supreme goodness of it all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i wish you could have heard our ranger from swato talk about connectedness and balance </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and i wish your heart would also have been flooded by that truth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and seconds later on the heels of that revelation, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i wish you could have felt the intense sense of shame being human sometimes brings with it.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but most of all i wish you could have felt the intense sense of responsibility to make a difference. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div id="yui_3_2_0_1_1332018222436115" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i've always admired but never fully understood people like jane goodall and alan rabinowitz and the like. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">individuals who spend their lives giving voices to peoples and species who have none </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but in an instant i understood and if i were a braver person i would like to spend my time doing the same so that one day my children could also be changed by experience. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and so as i write i am bound by a feverish fear and frustration that while reading this you might for a second think wow....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and then go about your day</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">unchanged. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but while words can be rendered ineffective...therein lies the intrinsic magic of travel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">you have to experience it firsthand to be changed.</span></div>

bad things happen....<br />
and when they do<br />
people feed us that cough, cough bullshit line that la-la-la<br />
everything happens for a reason </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then perhaps something actually happens...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and no matter what it is we go all reflective, quasi contemplative. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we pump it up, we throw glitter on it, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we talk about it and we dramatize it until it has become</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
..... that reason. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and just like that,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ah ha!...our failure, our loss, our hurt is vindicated!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but somewhere deep inside...<br />
we know that's really bullshit too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we really just wanted the other thing, the thing that didn't happen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the thing that didn't work out ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but when faced with the alternative<br />
what can ya do but throw on your travelin shoes<br />
and say...<br />
<br />
it all happens for a reason<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
if i learn to embrace each of the me's </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
to have the best of both worlds</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
red bows and green wrapping, </div>

we decorate our yards, our homes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
windowsills, mantels, doors, offices, cars, trees</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
evey available surface<br />
is festooned with all the spectrum's of the rainbow.<br />
<br />
and it's awesome<br />
there is something fun and therapeutic and magical about<br />
lights on evergreen branches....<br />
just because<br />

what if<br />
we had another month where we also decorated...<br />
but that month we decorated souls?<br />

<br />
what if we took a month to paint the most vivid colors of our mind<br />
to let our creativity flow onto the canvas of our life<br />
to mix colors with abandon<br />
to get a little messy<br />
to see each others inner reds and blues<br />
to splatter and drip<br />
to run our fingers through vibrant yellows and mellow greens<br />
and to admire the imperfect stokes and lines of your inner artist<br />
<br />

<br />
can you imagine?<br />
i wonder how we'd feel?<br />
i wonder if at the end of that month<br />
we'd slowly wipe off the red<br />
and brush off the blue<br />
sadly packing away our paints and childlike parts of ourselves<br />
for another year...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I once participated in a public debate with another scientist on issues surrounding science and religion. I was an atheist with sympathies for the sacred character of human experience and he was an atheist without such sympathies. At one point in the discussion I tried to convince him that inclinations to "spirituality" or a sense of "sacredness" (with or without an institutional religion) was a response to the essential mystery that came with being human. He paused for long moment and then replied.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"There is no mystery"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It took me a while to pick my jaw off the floor and find an appropriate response.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had made it pretty clear that, being an atheist, I was not arguing for a "God" of the gaps. Neither was I arguing that limits to knowledge (if they exist) imply we should be worshiping before some choice of deity. Instead I was simply pointing to that fundamental weirdness, that "stranger-in-a-strange land" quality of being human. I was pointing to that mystery because I think its best part of the whole trip.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We just find ourselves here. With our individual birth we just "wake-up" and discover ourselves in the midst of an extraordinary world of beauty and sorrow. All around us we see exquisite and exquisitely subtle orders played out effortlessly. From the lazy descent of fall leaves to the slow unfolding of cloudscapes in empty blue skies, it is all just here and we are just here to see it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Day after day we wake again to find the world still here, waiting for us as we play out our own small dramas with their small triumphs and terrible heartbreaks. And then, remarkably, astonishingly, just here just ends.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For me that is the mystery. No amount of explanation, be it a "Theory of Everything" or a religious theology, will reduce the power of its experience. The primitive quality of feeling, the presence of life and its luminosity, is the mystery and I am damn thankful for it.</div>

mumbles to herself <br />
sucks coffee, water, soup anything....through a straw</div>

it's the total pessimism, the total negativity,<br />
the stone cold bitchiness i can't abide.<br />

i have been troubled by this<br />
i have taken this personally<br />
i have tried to win her over<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
with decreasing income and rising prices, with foreclosures and joblessness, environmental disasters and global warming.... it can be difficult to hold on to the optimism of a better world. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
but this past week i had a rare glimpse into what a better world might actually look like. at a conference under the auspices of <a href="http://www.bsr.org/">Business Social Responsibility: RedefiningLeadership</a>, i witnessed 1000 + companies attempting and in many cases succeeding, in leveraging their enormous spheres of influence and powerful brands to bring about social change. the fact that i was skeptical of the likes of pepsi and GE, chevron and microsoft as they sat there describing clean water initiatives in africa and communication inroads in india, is a testimate to just how dire our situation has become. we have lost our faith in government and are desperately looking for a leader. the irony that such a leader might turn out to be one of the very beasts that got us here in the first place...wasn't lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

so is there a magic pill?</div>

or is this just a massive ploy by c-level execs to preemptively greenwash the future while hoping we forget about a past riddled by decades of unrestrained consumption and greed? it remains to be seen. but whatever the true motive, it has us talking and the change <strong>is </strong>positive.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
so what does this better world look like? it looks like a world where companies don't just take from the people's and communities where they operate but give back as well. it looks like a world where corporations refuse to turn a blind eye on issues like modern day slavery, unsafe working conditions and fair wages but acknowledge the very success of their business is inherently tied to the people bringing their products to fruition. it looks like a world with clean air, green forests, fresh water and blue oceans and one in which corporations understand that their survival is tenuously tied to this place we call home not only today but also tomorrow.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
it seems it is no longer enough to do good on our own time but return to work and think only of profit and shareholder value. it is necessary that we urge our corporations to be better leaders and stewards of responsibility. and in doing so, corporations aren't just throwing money away or frivolously focusing attention on issues not relevant to their business...in this age of hyper-transparency acts of social responsibility serve to protect brands, attract greater talent, retain innovative employees and improving supply chains operations. and what CEO doesn't like a win-win?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
our relationship with our bodies is complicated</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i look at you and see coco skin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
brown eyes, wavy locks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you look at yourself and see race</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
separation even shame</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you look at me and see lily skin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
azure eyes, golden hair</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i look at my self and see shortcomings </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
questions and failures</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we slouch</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we slump</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we bite our nails, our lips, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
....each other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
kindness to ourselves <br />
our bodies </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
strangers....<br />
is not often taught </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
therefore, less often indulged</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sometimes it takes a shock to the soul<br />
to force us to look deeper<br />
to look past the physical<br />
<br />
beauty is after all, only skin deep<br />
<br />
perhaps one day i will look at you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and see myself</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
perhaps one day </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
