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!

Fantastic Drew. So glad to see this interpretation of a fantastic piece of your stunning poetry. Let's Planetize and send the message to the world. I'll spread it far and wide.

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.

A gift, Drew. A jolt to the mind and heart -- and a great spur to get out and make big change.

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
