Poetry in progress
The name “Footprint to Wings” was inspired by this Rumi poem.
Start walking to Shams
You get heavier.
Then comes a moment
of feeling the wings you’ve grown,
Lifting.
Which is cool. The wings have weight and are a burden, until they’re strong enough, and you shift your weight, and they lift you.
A perfect metaphor for what we’re going through as a civilization.
We want to lose our carbon footprints - heck, a lot of other footprints, too. But we don’t want to get rid of ourselves. The only option is to shift to wings. But first we have to grow those wings, and that feels like a burden.
Until the moment of lift..
Speaking of which, we need a logo. Here’s a preliminary sketch. Suggestions welcome!
To zero carbon and beyond!
