Dear friends,
Let me begin the day by reading you a short statement, the introduction to my address, if you will.
Serving the Earth, Serving One Another
In a world of spiraling ecological and social crises, where does one find hope and wisdom?
Where can we search for, and discover our spiritual calling?
I don’t know about you, but for me, my search has been a journey of self-discovery, allowing myself to be inspired by wisdom, the wisdom of others, past and present. This has led me to be an activist, a storyteller and a long-life student, always searching for answers, always asking questions, wondering, pondering, reflecting and contemplating on what this journey we call life is all about.
This is why I firmly believe that my job as an economist/activist is to find the truth. But we must also be storytellers, first and foremost.
