Episode description

It’s the eve of the 20-year anniversary of the 9-11-2001 terrorist attacks as I publish this short episode.


Today, as then, I’d normally I’d be thinking and working on matters relating to how we can change the way the global economy operates so that it creates positive, beneficial economic, environmental and social outcomes, in place of the many un-sustainable outcomes we still generate today.


But today (9/10/21) and tomorrow (9/11/21) space needs to be made for somber reflection on the attack on the United States that, in its own way, changed how the world works and lives.


In this podcast I recall my personal experience of the morning of 9-11-2001 and reflect on death as a part of Nature's life cycle and of the lives tragically cut short on that day and in the following days. 


I'm a cautiously optimistic person and I see hope in the future as individually and collectively we strive to leave the world a better place for having lived here on Earth.
