The Race to Take Flight Connected, connected Everything everywhere is all connected Human creativity and intelligence is the process of recognizing relevant connections between ourselves and parts of the world around us In the end humans will become a synthesis of what weve made of our world and of how Mother Earth reacts While most of humanity slumbers Rainforests around the globe are being cut down in the name of consumerism Africa is being robbed blind in the name of democracy and reefs in oceans worldwide die as human pollution raises sea temperatures In many places people are killed, maimed and enslaved in the name of the good of a few who wallow in wealth Where, dear friends is the intelligence in all of that? Our behavior shows what we really believe to be important and if the only connections we deem to be important are those that can make us more money well all end up living in big trash dumps ---no food, no place to raise our young but well have all folding green cash we can choke down. I know and you know we are better than that. The problem is, the corporations weve made arent any better than that. The future of humanity is a race, my friends, between human greed for power, influence and money and the awakening of the human spirit that instinctively knows we all are brothers and sisters of the same family and sons and daughters of the same little blue planet They say, they say great things spring late They say in order to fly a bird must take off against the wind Our own lack of foresight, our own ignorance, and our own greed are the steeped gusts against which the human spirit must take flight Sleep in gentle kindness tonight my friends tomorrow will come soon enough and it will be time for humanity to fly Dewey Dirks
