The fact that we now realize we have to change the way we live on the planet, and that it is happening at the same time that a generation is reaching midlife-I don't see this as a coincidence. I see it as an essential reality that you and I own. If we were to now have the same values during the second half of life as we do in the first-if we see as much as we can, travel as much as we can, get as much as we can for ourselves and not serve the planet-we will do more to contribute to the destruction of the planet than any generation before us. But if we wake up and begin a real quest, we can contribute to a renaissance.
