While at COP, Dan and I had the opportunity to encounter and hear many different individuals from different backgrounds. We spoke with volunteers, CEOs, non-profit leaders, students, CSOs, communication specialists, brewers, protestors, foresters, investors, bankers, PR experts, assistants, bellhops, and bartenders. We listened to worldviews, anecdotes, problems, solutions, boasts, and genuine wisdom. It was a firehose of information. But…
COP26 was one of those “You had to be there” moments. Every day, the headlines continued to push for more change, for faster change. Greta Thunberg’s “blah, blah, blah” plastered signs and posters across the city and wormed their way into most conversations.

To hoe, or not to hoe, that was the question.
News Bulletin: we interrupt regularly scheduled bloggery to bring you this news flash…yesterday, for the first time in over twenty years, a white swan was sighted!
Slowly the rear door of the livestock trailer opened, and I saw them for the first time, all thirty of them. Jet black, pure white, and most hues in between. Not a shared gene among them.
