Charlotte’s Web Life is magic, the way nature works seems to be quite magical.

A wisdom deficit – fewer elders and even fewer people who listen to them.

I have the impression that the new generation of young people, are coming up on the scene with a sense “ancestorhood”, and with more wisdom than was evident before.

The most important question we must ask ourselves is, ‘Are we being good ancestors?’

My life is pretty well at peace, and the profession is more of an avocation. It’s a calling, if you like, rather than a job. I do what I feel impelled to do, as an artist would.

I couldn’t possibly have become a member of this Institute, you know, if I hadn’t organized it myself.

My job is to help people see what I see. If it’s of value, fine. And, if it’s not of value, then at least I’ve done what I can do.

Wisdom: It’s something that you know when you see it. You can recognize it, you can experience it. I have defined wisdom as the capacity to make judgments that when looked back upon will seem to have been wise.

I’m saying that we should trust our intuition. I believe that the principles of universal evolution are revealed to us through intuition. And I think that if we combine our intuition and our reason, we can respond in an evolutionary sound way to our problems.

As a child I was not interested in science. I was merely interested in things human, the human side of nature, if you like, and I continue to be interested in that. That’s what motivates me.
