out-of-the-box
What excites you to start something?
bent cardboard
peeling the tape
off the box
…
we can do
a lot of things
that excite us
if we console
our worries
and start doing
something real
shoes to fill
Whose legacy are you honoring?
balls of yarn
rolling towards
the table’s edge
…
is it our job
or responsibility
to continue the work
our ancestors started?
not necessarily,
but we should always honor
and respect their legacy’s
catch and release
What ethics do you live by?
freshwater carp
settling down on
a blanket of rocks
…
what some consider
to be for sport
others may question
whether it’s ethical
for us to continue
a past time that fills fish
with stress and anxiety
mine and yours
What are you sharing with others?
rocking chair
a blanket covers
wooden arms
…
ownership
our culture is fraught
with who has this
and who does that
but what happens when
we share the responsibility
to make each other better?
airplane mode
When do you disconnect?
yellow savanna
the leopard gecko
loses it’s tail
…
how many times
do we naturally
make ourselves
unplug and take
a step back
without being
forced to disconnect
over-under
Are you risk-prone or risk-adverse?
white-tailed deer
a pack of wolves
climbs the mountain
…
when we wager
something of value
like time or money
the level of risks rises
and so should our
ability to manage and measure
results and expectations
paper or plastic
What do you put inside your bags?
guava orchard
monkeys rip apart
branches and leaves
…
isn’t the question
in order to make
sustainable choices
we must examine
what we put inside
our shopping bags
instead of what they’re made of
