There is an indigenous piece of wisdom
I believe more people today should to keep in mind…
The planet does not need more successful people.
It needs more peacemakers
more healers
more restorers
more storytellers
and more lovers of all kinds.

The planet doesn't need more successful people
it needs peacemakers, healers, restorers,
storytellers and lovers of every kind
It needs people who live well in their places
people of moral courage willing to join the fight
to make the world, habitable and humane
Qualities that have little to do with success
as we have defined it to be.

Confused, angry, victims
Of selfish ancestors,
Who raped the land and sea;
Leaving all desolate:
Future man and woman.
Future man and woman:
Restorers of the land
That mothers and fathers
Could not recall in youth,
Or a grandparent’s rant.
