change yourself and you will change the world —John Francis


I was reading YES! magazine last night and landed on an article about John Francis, who after witnessing a massive oil spill in San Francisco in 1971, decided not to speak and walk the earth for 17 years. I was moved beyond words. Listen to John’s story. He’s brilliant. He’s a maverick and most importantly, he’s an earth healer. His voice is calming and his vision clear. He wrote a book about his journey called Planetwalker and started Planetwalk, “a non-profit educational organization dedicated to raising environmental consciousness and promoting earth stewardship.” A movie is now being made about his life…to be released in 2009. I wonder who’ll play John…Any thoughts? I think Morgan Freeman would make a wonderful older John.
