A "Lord Privy Seal" type video which reminds me that great poetry likek this doesn't need improvement.

But it's an MTV age so this fills a need for those who need imagery to get a point.

It's true, I always get goosebumps when I hear you recite this poem; your spirit is quite enough to awaken mine own. But this is very well done, and I simply love Sigur Rós (the music). Keep it comin' Drew!

Powerful Drew. I love how you always locate yourself in the lineage - here and now - a kind of pivot point between your ancestors and your descendants. Reminds me somehow of Aboriginal Songlines. Brilliant, once again. Thank you.

Sweet! What did I do? I changed my life. I was motivated by visions of a conversation decades from now with my daughter Melia, and me being able to say that I did everything I could.

A simple, powerful preamble to a conversation that keeps stammering forward and backward over "What to do?" Very impressive. Keep these posts coming, and good luck. David

I love this short film—and it makes me remember when I first knew and why it is that I do what I do now—thanks for your inspiring art and message and for helping to galvanize the movement for the work ahead—the Great Work, countdown 2012.

Thanks Drew. So succinct, yet so powerful!
