The First and the Last of Everything

 

The first fine dawn of life on earth

The first cry of man in the first light

The first firefly flickering at night ...

The first wagon train westward

The first sighting of the Pacific by Lewis and Clark

The first desegregation by Huck and Jim on a raft at night

The first buffalo head nickel and the last buffalo

The first skyscraper in America

The first home run at Yankee Stadium

The first ball park hotdog with mustard

The last bohemian in a beret

The last homespun politician and the first stolen election

The first plane to hit the first twin tower

The birth of vast national paranoia

The birth of American corporate fascism

The next to last free speech radio

The next to last independent newspaper raising hell

The next to last independent bookstore with a mind of its own

The next to last leftie looking for Obama nirvana

The first day of the Wall Street occupation to set forth upon this land a new revolutionary nation!

Fifteen years ago, I ran across a book, "100 Most Influential People in History," during one of my dalliances to my local Marin County bookstore. "Influential People" was one man's assessment on exactly that. But how he determined his rankings was the interesting part. They weren't always the reasons you would think. But after thinking about it, they made complete sense. For example:George Washington was ranked in the top 40 of all time. Understandable. But the reason why ... not so much. You…See More

Leadership Ecology

When a Leadership Ecology occurs, a web of relationships emerges revealing each person’s authentic leadership qualities through the transfer of their power to others. When done in a conscious way – a shared collaborative awakening happens.See More
