Trees: How the Mighty Have Fallen

Here is my recent poem, written in Stanley Park in Vancouver.

TREES: HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN

Stanley Park, Vancouver

All through the sapling days
Of dark and dappling haze
You stretched for skies
Of perfect blue

Up to refracted rays
All through protracted days
You reached for highs
And so you grew

Until you broke the night
At last unyoked the light
Like living prose
You stood so tall

Until the gale's grey might
Ripped through your sail's green height
And as you rose
So did you fall

For more of my poems, see: www.waynevisser.com/poetry.htm

Paint by Numbers

I've finally loaded a picture of a fun painting I did a few weeks ago with Jordan, my 12 year old nephew. There was only one rule - we could only use numbers.



A larger version and my other art is at: www.waynevisser.com/art.htm.

My interviews with sustainability thought-leaders

I am on a 2 week North American trip, conducting interviews with some great sustainability pioneers, including:

* Joel Bakan (author of The Corporation)
* Amory Lovins (Factor Four & Natural Capitalism)
* Elisabeth Economy (The River Runs Black)
* Jeffrey Sachs (The End of Poverty)
*Joseph Stiglitz (Globalization and its Discontents)
* Stuart Hart (Capitalism at the Crossroads)
* Fritjof Capra (The Turning Point)
* Ernst Von Weiszacker (Factor Four)

The interviews are part of a project by the University of Cambridge Programme for Industry, which will be the basis for a book that will come out next year.
