The New Pony Story, Part I: Humility and Majesty, The Batfish and The Zonkey

Hello friends. Welcome to the New Pony Story.

Let's look at some animals, and think about them a little bit, in relation to our present circumstances. There are quite a few questions here.

This is a batfish. It freely floats around the ocean, basically whenever it wants to. Nobody wants to capture it, because it is so astoundingly ugly. It is likely therefore to possess deep humility. And he is free.

Let us now look at our friend the Zonkey.

There are a number of things we can discern from this image. Our zonkey friend is obviously imprisoned, which must be very humiliating for a basically striped stallion. A creature of majesty and style. He is imprisoned and gated. We will call him zonkey king.

Is such a format of humility reasonable or simply destructive? Will it make our zonkey friend stronger? Is it reasonable that this zonkey is suffering such uncertainty of location, while our dear but hideous and not nearly so majestic batfish friend is free to roam the ocean floor? 

Or should they obviously both be free?

"Happy Birthday Occupy Wall Street ... thoughts on Year One"

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
