One never knows what a year holds. Will there be gaps left, chinks in the armor, holes in the wall where the enemy can break through? Do we feel vulnerable?

Is there worry, anxiety, concern about the year, or fear?

Weeks ago I looked up the driveway and saw a pair of quail, followed by their young family. The father perched on the gatepost, casting a watchful eye on the road while the chick crossed in a scurry. Next step: flying lessons! There did not seem to by any quailish communications. Dad stepped to the edge and jumped. After a little to-ing and fro-ing, the little ones followed suit. It...

One of my lasting memories from a recent trip was a dead body lying between the lanes of traffic. “Isn’t that a dead body?” I asked. The driver just shrugged.

I will be sharing it next Thursday afternoon at a Repurposing Capital forum in Cape Town....

What’s the value of a changed life...
Many years ago Peter Drucker said that the product of a not-for-profit is a changed life. What happens when businesses are having an increasing societal role, and not-for-profits are running more like businesses? Do non-profits have more of an emphasis on real value for money?

I have this sneaking suspicion that I am about to create something I will have to clean up again and again. I already have so many places where cool ideas have grown cold, reduced to zeros and ones. Will this be the burner that keeps all of that stuff warm, simmering away until it organically seeps from the pot of my mind into a more useful mold or three? We shall...
