It’s been a transformative week in Hawaii. As I look back since last Saturday, I feel I’ve learned a lot. The ocean is our planet. We are one with the Earth. And most of all, that you can most clearly experience that when you slow down a little bit, when you breathe and take it all in. Sure there are big bad problems to solve that require urgency and vigor, but to fully grasp why we must solve them we need to visit back with the Earth. Hawaii provides a great backdrop for embarking on such a return, and I hope I can bring the sense of calm I’ve grown accustomed to here back to the mainland.
