The Powerfully Paradoxical Results of a Vision Quest

I did not set out to fast for 102 hours when I began my journey into the Badlands of North Dakota in pursuit of following a dream I had this past August. The result, paradoxically, was both confusingly enlightening and terrifyingly exhilarating. Before I set out, I intentionally worked to…

Two Friends Final Farewell

I was not looking forward to the trip. Weeks before, one of the daughters of a good friend of my mom texted me to say that her mother was dying of pancreatic cancer and she hoped to say goodbye to my mom. The two connected over the phone and agreed…

What Does it Mean to Be Wealthy?

If society is to prosper long-term, many of us (myself included) will need to redefine our definition of wealth. I say this not as some left-leaning, anti-capitalist, I say it as a professional futurist who is deeply concerned about the current trajectory of contemporary society. In my pursuit of attempting…

Reframing Death: A Simple Ritual

I turned 57 this past Saturday, July 17th. As a gift, my wife, knowing that I prefer “experiences” over material gifts, planned a hike for us through Willow State Park in Wisconsin. Midway through our hike, we stopped for a picnic in a park where she snapped this picture of…

The Wisdom of St. Anthony: Who is Mad? It is Time to Stop Line 3!

“A time is coming,” said St. Anthony the Great, “when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, “You are mad; you are not like us.” Although the Egyptian monk uttered those words in the 4th Century, they are as…

How Reverse Mentors Can Turn Obstacles into Opportunities

I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The city is blessed with a number of lakes and one of the best park systems in the world. As such, I frequently choose to walk into my office. Today, I strolled through an area known as “The Bird Sanctuary” and observed two red-headed pileated…

Deeper Than Roots: Fungi are the Future

“There are one hundred people striking at the branch … to every one person that is striking at the root.” As an author, speaker, change management consultant, and futurist, Thoreau’s quote has always resonated with me on a number of different levels. But what if it’s not true? What if…

The Ecological Crisis is a Spiritual Crisis

I’ve been aware of the plight of monarch butterflies for more than five years and, in response, I planted a modest milkweed garden, attempted to make Minneapolis a monarch butterfly sanctuary, and started a Facebook group — Bring Back a Billion Butterflies — to help educate others about the looming…
