  Speaker 1: Okay, David Katzmeyer is going to come up and share
• 0:04
  his thoughts with you for a minute, and then we're
• 0:05
  going to have Andreas, and he's going to tell a
• 0:08
  little story. Kiona, she's going to tell a little story.
• 0:12
  And then we're going to have the Bling One do
• 0:14
  their thing again. One song, and then we're going to
• 0:17
  close the show with, guess who? Doug Harden is going
• 0:23
  to do a song, quickie, and then Bling, and then Luma,
• 0:27
  and then we're out of here.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Paul.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: May peace prevail on Earth.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Special big thanks to my friend, Reverend Paul Slotkus of
• 0:38
  Good News Broadcast, a nonprofit organization, and to Austin Tong,
• 0:45
  back there working on a computer, who has helped Paul
• 0:48
  for years. For some 24 years, they've been bringing Peace
• 0:52
  Day Party to New York. I know I've been helping
• 0:55
  them for years with International Peace Day in New York.
• 0:58
  And as I look around and I see many faces,
• 1:02
  many backgrounds, one purpose, reminds me what Deepak Chopra said.
• 1:09
  We are on an evolutionary step from going from survival
• 1:14
  of the fittest to survival of the wisest. So consider
• 1:20
  the world outside us is only as beautiful as the
• 1:24
  world within. We can be the change we seek in
• 1:29
  the world. Be the change, easy to remember, easy to forget.
• 1:36
  But let us remember peace through the changes, because before
• 1:45
  us lie times of great change. We, as a people,
• 1:53
  our strength collectively rises and falls like tides. Remember the change.
• 2:03
  The heart of us all, together, our aspirations, our dreams,
• 2:08
  rise and fall like tides. Remember the change. Our collective
• 2:14
  mind rises and falls like tides. Remember the change through
• 2:19
  it all. Because great change.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Does lie before us.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: In the tides of time, in the cycles of the world,
• 2:25
  the crisis of 2027 will give us evil chaos and turmoil,
• 2:34
  and it will seem like everything's falling apart. But it
• 2:37
  is the birth pangs of a new era. For the
• 2:41
  decade before us holds great promise, more than the decade
• 2:46
  we leave behind. Through good times, bad times, times of chaos,
• 2:53
  the one constant through it all is peace, and that's stillness.
• 2:59
  And that's where you find love. And that is the
• 3:03
  source of peace. So thank you, Paul. Thank you, Good
• 3:08
  News Broadcast. Thank you all for coming. And as Ringo
• 3:12
  would say, peace.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Thank you, David Katzmeyer. He also has been doing our
• 3:21
  website for 20 plus years. Okay, Andreas. Andreas Dortchman. He's
• 3:27
  going to tell a little tale, an environmental tale, and
• 3:30
  share his wonderfulness. He's a senior executive. He's running a
• 3:35
  big company. And we have a lovely lady with him
• 3:41
  who does charitable artwork and so.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: On and so forth. Here's a mic. Have fun. Enjoy.
• 3:46
  Thank you so much, Paul. Hello, New York.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Great to see you. We're going to try something a
• 3:52
  little different today. We're gonna do what's like a fairytale,
• 3:55
  but a sustainable fairytale, or sustainable.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: So let me start.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Once upon a time, on the first day of spring,
• 4:05
  that's chapter one, the children woke up.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Early, as they often do.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: Little Zoe reached the meadow first, still wet with morning dew.
• 4:15
  She waited for her favorite sound, the bumblebee's buzz, but
• 4:20
  no sound came round. No bees, no birds, no butterflies.
• 4:25
  The meadow stood still. Something was missing from here all
• 4:30
  the way to the hill. You'd think the grownups would
• 4:34
  have realized it upon sight, but adults are busy from
• 4:38
  morning until night. With jobs to do and places to be,
• 4:43
  the adults hurried past the empty fields too quickly to see.
• 4:48
  The children stood in empty parks, Meadows silent and still,
• 4:54
  sensing something was wrong, something they had noticed all along.
• 5:01
  Then children did what children do when they needed a clue.
• 5:05
  They started asking questions, as children tend to do. At breakfast,
• 5:13
  Zoe asked her papa, Where did all the bees go?
• 5:18
  Her papa tried to answer, but said he just didn't know.
• 5:23
  At school, she asked her teacher, where did all the
• 5:26
  birds go? Her teacher tried to answer, but she said
• 5:31
  she did not know. Then after school, she asked Granny, Granny,
• 5:37
  where did all the butterflies go? To which Granny got
• 5:41
  a far away look in her wise old eyes. When
• 5:45
  I was young, her granny said, I remember still, the
• 5:49
  skies were full of bees and birds and butterflies on
• 5:52
  every hill. With no trees of bees, birds, and butterflies
• 5:58
  in the sky, Granny broke down completely and began to cry. Granny,
• 6:06
  you should know, was part of what the media call
• 6:08
  the silent majority, the biggest group of all. Billions were
• 6:13
  blessed by the conveniences of modern industry, kind and friendly folks,
• 6:18
  and even though they saw, smelled, and tolerated pollution, they
• 6:22
  remained silent, one and all. To be silent seems so safe, polite,
• 6:28
  and yet so easy too. So no one said a
• 6:30
  single word, and that's why pollution grew. Two centuries of
• 6:36
  quiet let it climb and rise to levels that were
• 6:39
  dangerous right before our very eyes.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Page two.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: If there's one thing being feared by the industries, politicians,
• 6:55
  and the media that smog, scheme, and dirty spit, it
• 6:58
  was the day the silent majority would find its voice
• 7:02
  and project it. But not today. Granny grabbed her phone.
• 7:07
  This time, instead of playing Candy Crush, she filmed one
• 7:12
  minute of her garden, no birds, no bees, no butterflies,
• 7:16
  and texted to her neighbor in a rush. The neighbor
• 7:20
  listened to this perfect still. Then he shared it with
• 7:22
  a farmer on the hill. The farmer shared it and
• 7:26
  traveled far and wide. Then to a nurse, a baker,
• 7:30
  a candlestick maker, who all passed it on with pride.
• 7:35
  It didn't reach just hundreds. It reached into the millions,
• 7:39
  embracing the whole planet with it. Social media scrammed to
• 7:45
  drown the truth like a rat.
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: Fake!
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Bees are bad for business. Flowers are over-related. Hey, everybody,
• 7:52
  look over here. A funny video of a cat. Social
• 7:57
  media's great power was now plain as plain could be.
• 8:00
  Their power was never the internet. Their power was the
• 8:03
  silence of the people on it to a very large degree.
• 8:07
  And now that silence was over, and it had found
• 8:10
  its voice. In the Capitol, the politician's saw a tsunami.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Of millions of texts.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: It's time, they said, to craft new laws to protect
• 8:19
  and sustain Mother Nature next. Now the great sustaining didn't
• 8:24
  happen in a day. Great things never usually do.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: You know, they grow a slower way.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: It's a tale of smoky industries that learn to run
• 8:33
  a cleaner way, of politicians passing laws for good, and
• 8:37
  of media that finally told the truth about our lands today.
• 8:41
  And the story ends where it began. Out in the meadow,
• 8:46
  where little Zoe watches a lovely scene, a bee lands
• 8:49
  on a flower. Zoe holds her breath, and then the
• 8:53
  bee buzzed. And to answer that age-old question, to be
• 9:00
  or not to be, the answer is, there will always
• 9:03
  be bees, thanks to Zoe and Granny.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: This is Jana Niggen with RAP, Andreas Deutschmann with Avalon Securities,
• 9:17
  and I'm also a comedian. If you want to get
• 9:19
  some more information on what shows in the past, please
• 9:21
  come up to us, and let me let Jana introduce herself.
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: Hello, everyone.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Andreas, thank you so much. This was very deep.
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: We are not throwing bowls.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Okay. So, Andreas.
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: I want to say.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much for bringing me here. Paul, thank
• 9:42
  you so much.
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: I represent WRAP, Waste Reduction Art Project. And what we
• 9:48
  do is we bring culture. So what makes peace? People
• 9:54
  who actually are cultured are less likely to fight so
• 10:01
  we create art we teach how to create art from
• 10:04
  waste we are doing documentaries about our artists who are
• 10:09
  teaching people how to create art from waste and save
• 10:15
  our planet by learning peaceful ways. Come up to me
• 10:19
  and Andreas, and we'll tell you more. And you can
• 10:23
  see Andreas in comedy clubs in New York City. Ask him,
• 10:26
  he'll tell you where his next gig is. Thank you, everyone.
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: Peace!
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, thank you very much. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 10:37
  Kiana Foundation, and thank you, Andreas. And we can't get.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Tennis balls out here. You hit somebody. Kiana, come on here, Dr. Lakeisha.
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: Lakeisha. I'm here representing the Kiana Foundation. September is Childhood
• 10:57
  Cancer Awareness Month. People think that childhood cancer is rare,
• 11:02
  but it's not. We have about 46 children that are
• 11:05
  diagnosed with cancer every single day. The Kiana Foundation actually
• 11:12
  does novel botanical drug discovery, cancer research, looking for less
• 11:18
  toxic treatment options for children and adults that are diagnosed
• 11:23
  with cancer. But this month, we want to honor one
• 11:26
  of our children that we have provided advocacy services for.
• 11:31
  And I want to introduce our executive director, Andre Jenkins.
• 11:36
  and Dream Jefferson and his mother, Ashley.
• 11:44
  Speaker 10: I just want to thank the city of New York
• 11:46
  for coming out for International Day of Peace.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 11:51
  Speaker 10: Thank you, Paul Slackus, for putting this event together. My
• 11:54
  name is Andre Jenkins. I'm the executive director of the
• 11:56
  Kiana Foundation. We're a 501c3 nonprofit based here in New
• 12:00
  York City. I'm going to talk real quick about the
• 12:03
  Gold Ribbon Tech Initiative. The Gold Ribbon Tech Initiative, we
• 12:06
  take your gently used or old technology, we refurbish it
• 12:11
  or sell it, and we place it with a family,
• 12:14
  which is what we're doing today. So today we're going
• 12:16
  to offer Dream Jefferson an iMac for beating his cancer.
• 12:22
  How long have you been cancer-free?
• 12:24
  Speaker 11: Only for like four months so far.
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: He's been four months cancer-free, everyone. Give it up for Dream. Yeah,
• 12:33
  we're the dream team up here, everybody.
• 12:38
  Speaker 12: Thank you all.
• 12:39
  Speaker 9: And if you want to support the Kiana Foundation, you
• 12:41
  can see our logos there. Find us at kianafoundation.org or
• 12:47
  text the word Kiana, K-I-O-N-A, to 53555. Thank you for
• 12:52
  your support.
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: Thank you, guys.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: All right, I love these people. A big hand for them.
• 13:06
  All they do is good things. All they do is
• 13:08
  help young people. Thank you, Andreas, again. Okay, Doug Harden.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir. 41, yeah. No, you're not 41. Okay. You
• 13:20
  ready to go? Let's hear some music. 41, hit it.
• 13:25
  Before you play, how's everybody doing?
• 13:29
  Speaker 13: Welcome to the United Nations International Day of Peace 2026.
• 13:34
  So before the music starts, I want to ask a question.
• 13:37
  Speaker 14: What about yesterday? What about the seas? The heavens are
• 13:46
  falling down. I can't even breathe. What about children dying?
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Can't you hear them cry? Where did we go wrong?
• 14:03
  Speaker 13: Someone tell me why. What about us? What about us, y'all?
• 14:11
  What about us? I'm ready to go. So as we
• 14:15
  talk about what about us, I want to talk about love.
• 14:18
  And I got a love song. I want to just
• 14:20
  bring it all together and what I'm doing.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: So let's hit the track.
• 14:31

• 15:49
  to give you up.

  be here with you all on the International Day of Peace.
• 20:13
  Here are a couple original songs I wrote. It's a
• 20:17
  song about hope.
• 20:20
  Speaker 19: Working overtime You change your hours for a handful of
• 20:25
  dimes Go out and buy yourself a bottle of wine
• 20:31
  Then waste away.
• 20:34
  Speaker 12: Again But I don't mind Cause I've got beaches inside
• 20:44
  my head Should have died a long time ago But
• 20:51
  I've got beaches.
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: In my head.
• 21:02
  Speaker 17: Slaving away You scrub the toilets for the minimum wage
• 21:10
  You find your future's at the bottom of a bottle As.
• 21:14
  Speaker 20: You waste away.
• 21:16
  Speaker 17: Again You're 26 years old You grew so fast but
• 21:25
  you've got nothing to show You find your future's at
• 21:30
  the bottom of a bottle As you waste away again.
• 21:36
  Speaker 12: No, no, don't waste it But I don't mind.
• 21:41
  Speaker 21: Cause I've got beaches inside my head Should have died
• 21:48
  a long time ago But I've got beaches in.
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: My head.
• 21:57
  Speaker 22: No, I won't cry. Cause I've got beaches inside my head.
• 22:04
  Should have died a long time ago. But I've got
• 22:09
  beaches in my head.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, I've got beaches in my head.
• 22:17
  Speaker 21: Yes, I've got beaches in my head.

  It'll be on wedonthavetime.org starting at 12 noon and then
• 32:21
  after the program We will show our movie that we created,
• 32:29
  started here in 1989 with Richie Havens, and it's called
• 32:33
  Woodstock Forever, Peace, Love, and Hope. We start off here
• 32:36
  with Richie Havens. We bought the first only board on
• 32:40
  the one-time square building where the ball drops, and the
• 32:44
  movie goes, it's a two-hour documentary I've been working working
• 32:48
  on it since 1989, and we're gonna share it with
• 32:52
  the world. Dionne Warwick is our host for the love
• 32:55
  section of it. I have Lady Gaga in it, I
• 32:58

• 33:02
  all kinds of phenomenally stupendous, we have Nickelodeon shows, I
• 33:06
  do it with my grandkids, and it's just very special,
• 33:12
  not for us, but for you, so it's called Woodstock Forever, Peace, Love,
• 33:18
  and Hope, because that's what Woodstock represented, peace, love, and hope, okay?
• 33:22
  And you'll hear that, it wasn't, I'll say it, only sex, drugs,
• 33:26
  and rock and roll. It was also peace, love, and hope, okay?

  Speaker 8: I made a romance novel all up in my little head.
• 38:59
  Speaker 27: Not even Shakespeare could describe what.
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: I'm feeling today. I wonder if it could take just
• 39:33
  a little bit of your time.
• 39:35
  Speaker 11: I'm searching all around the.
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: House to see if I'm to find. I really hope
• 39:40
  that you can see.
• 39:41
  Speaker 11: What I'm feeling inside. And give me all your love so.
• 39:45
  Speaker 8: You can steal this heart of mine. You swept my feet.
• 39:49
  Speaker 11: Away like an earth plane, breaking the waves.
• 39:52
  Speaker 8: You swept me.
• 40:29
  Speaker 11: I want to play this melody again I want to
• 40:33
  listen to what you have to say.
• 40:36
  Speaker 8: And if you say that.
• 40:37
  Speaker 11: Love is ready to play Let's play over again Yeah Yeah.
• 40:56
  Speaker 8: You swept my feet away Like an earthquake breaking away
• 40:58
  You swept me away.
• 40:59
  Speaker 11: Just call me And leave it all behind Just kiss
• 41:01
  me Just kiss me one more.
• 41:02
  Speaker 27: Time Namaste, New York City. The light in me sees
• 42:04
  the light in all of you. I am your host,
• 42:09
  Yogini Jema. And this begins, Om's Peace Starts Within. OM
• 42:17
  is an invitation to remember who you are. And in
• 42:23
  that remembering, to recognize the interconnectedness of all things. Today,
• 42:31
  as we honor the United Nations International Day of Peace,
• 42:35
  we gather around one of humanity's greatest possibilities, peace. Peace
• 42:42
  within ourselves, between people, within our communities, and peace with
• 42:48
  Mother Earth. As leaders from around the world gather here
• 42:53
  in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, conversations
• 42:57
  will take place about our shared future. And here in
• 43:02
  Times Square, Om brings another question into that global conversation.
• 43:08
  What is the consciousness from which we create that future?
• 43:13
  Because behind every decision that shapes our world, there is
• 43:16
  a human being. And the world we create together is
• 43:20
  inseparable from the state from which we meet it. This
• 43:25
  is why our message today is simple. Peace starts within.
• 43:30
  And over the next two and a half hours, we
• 43:33
  are going to explore what that truly means through ancient
• 43:37
  wisdom and modern science, through voices working within our global
• 43:43
  institutions and organizations creating new ways for us to gather
• 43:48
  across the world in greater connection and shared intention. We
• 43:53
  will experience the power of art and creativity and be
• 43:59
  inspired by places consciously choosing peace as a way forward.
• 44:05
  And we'll discover how even the way we play can
• 44:09
  be in greater harmony with Mother Earth and throughout it all, music.
• 44:16
  At OM, we honor the extraordinary power of music to
• 44:21
  bring us together, to move us beyond words and into
• 44:25
  a shared experience. Because today, we don't simply want to
• 44:30
  talk about peace. We're here to experience it. At the
• 44:35
  heart of OM is a growing collective we call OMbassadors.
• 44:39
  people from many different walks of life who have said
• 44:43
  yes to this invitation to remember and who are bringing
• 44:46
  that remembrance into the way they live and the work
• 44:50
  that they offer to the world. The remarkable human beings
• 44:54
  you will meet today on this stage are part of
• 44:57
  this growing community, each bringing their own unique expression of
• 45:01
  how we can live, create, embody peace.
• 45:06
  Speaker 25: In the world.
• 45:07
  Speaker 27: And in each of them, is a reminder that every
• 45:11
  one of us has a part to play. Peace can
• 45:15
  be expressed in so many different ways. And when those
• 45:19
  individual expressions come together, peace becomes collective. Imagine the world
• 45:26
  we can create when peace is the consciousness from which
• 45:31
  we meet one another, make our choices, and shape our future.
• 45:37
  That is where peace starts within become something greater than ourselves.
• 45:43
  And so here, in Times Square, let us begin by
• 45:48
  experiencing it right here and now. I invite all of you,
• 45:56
  wherever you are, to come into stillness. Whether you're standing
• 46:03
  or whether you're sitting, let the body settle into stillness
• 46:11
  And for just two minutes, gently close the eyes. For
• 46:21
  a moment, for a moment, just take in all the
• 46:26
  sounds of the environment, the horns, the voices, the music,
• 46:35
  the chatter, the movement, spend a moment and just become
• 46:42
  familiar with each sound. And now bring your awareness to
• 46:52
  the whole body. Try to see within the mind the
• 46:58
  whole body. In one glimpse, in one flash, try and
• 47:05
  see the whole body within the mind. And now bring
• 47:13
  your awareness to the natural breath. Go deep, deep inside
• 47:22
  of yourself as you follow the natural breath. As you inhale,
• 47:31
  feel the natural expansion of the body. As you exhale,
• 47:39
  feel the contraction and release. Inhaling the body expands. Exhaling
• 47:52
  the body releases and relaxes. Feel this natural expansion and
• 48:04
  relaxation with every breath. And now become aware of this
• 48:19
  shift into relaxation within the body. Feel the heartbeat. It
• 48:27
  is slower. Feel the breath. It is deeper. Become aware
• 48:39
  of the mind. It is more still. Feel the state
• 48:46
  of calm and peace within. Even here, in the middle
• 48:56
  of all of this movement and all of this noise,
• 49:02
  we just met together at a place of peace within.
• 49:06
  And if we can do this here, we can do
• 49:13
  it anywhere. Gently open the eyes.
• 49:20
  Speaker 20: Eyes.
• 49:24
  Speaker 27: And from this place of peace, I invite all of
• 49:28
  us to receive the wisdom of the old ways. It
• 49:33
  is my honor to welcome spiritual leader and wisdom keeper,
• 49:39
  Lex St. Onge, who is here to bless this gathering
• 49:45
  with a prayer and song of peace. Haku muhu.
• 50:19
  Speaker 23: Say now.
• 50:28
  Speaker 18: Yeah, you want one further in?
• 50:30
  Speaker 11: That's good.
• 50:31
  Speaker 27: This distance.
• 50:31
  Speaker 16: Is that good?
• 50:35
  Speaker 8: A bit closer.
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: Right here, down low. First, that one might. Are you
• 50:42
  singing or are you playing?
• 50:44
  Speaker 10: I'm singing.
• 50:44
  Speaker 29: But usually I have to.
• 50:46
  Speaker 27: You can have to. You can have to.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: We've got to.
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: Do we?
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 50:49
  Speaker 30: This is for the voice, though.
• 50:50
  Speaker 25: Okay.
• 50:51
  Speaker 13: So put that up here.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: I'll kind of turn this.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Way a little bit.
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: Hello, everybody. Hope you can hear me.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: Can you hear me? Yes, we're good. As a spiritual
• 51:18
  leader in a native tribe.
• 51:19
  Speaker 26: Can you.
• 51:30
  Speaker 11: Hear me?
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: No.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2>
• 51:41
  Speaker 2>
• 51:42
  Speaker 25: Want me to leave?
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: What's that? Check, check, check, check, check, check.
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: One, two, one, two, one, two.
• 51:54
  Speaker 20: Hello?
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: There it goes.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: All right, we got it. We got it, we're good.
• 52:00
  So when we're speaking to crowds from a Native American aspect, yeah, get.
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: That one out of there, I guess.
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: We talk about our life way and how we push
• 52:15
  through the world in body. Our bodies show the eyes, ears, nose, hands,
• 52:21
  feet of our grandmothers and grandfathers before us. They were
• 52:25
  successful people or you wouldn't be here right now. I'd
• 52:29
  be talking to somebody else. So I honor you each
• 52:33
  and everyone individually. I honor your ancestors for being powerful
• 52:37
  enough to get you here all this way. And if
• 52:40
  you're ever feeling lonely or down, look in the mirror
• 52:43
  at your face because it's really not yours. It's a
• 52:46
  composite of all those who came before you. Those grandmothers
• 52:50
  and grandfathers that pushed through time that allowed you to
• 52:53
  be here. Take your strength from knowing that they ran
• 52:57
  from dire wolf, packs, saber tooth tigers, elephants, everything they
• 53:03
  had to do to get their children safe through the
• 53:06
  long nights of winter, food for the year. healthy, protected
• 53:12
  from other people that may have done them harm. Every
• 53:16
  one of you is an amazing success story.
• 53:20
  Speaker 8: Amazing.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: So when I look at each of you or I
• 53:23
  meet you on the street or I see you, I
• 53:26
  see all those ancestors behind you. And they all tell
• 53:30
  me the same thing. Remind them who they are, how
• 53:34
  powerful they are, and how we're with them always. As
• 53:39
  a scientist, sometimes I'll swab someone's cheek and send their
• 53:43
  DNA away because the smallest piece of them has the
• 53:47
  maps of all the places their ancestors have ever been.
• 53:51
  And you're made up of billions of these maps. So
• 53:54
  how powerful are you? I don't like weakness. I don't
• 53:59
  like people saying, oh, feel sorry for me. I'm sad
• 54:02
  on this and that. You're so lucky to be embodied.
• 54:06
  And you only are here for such a small amount
• 54:08
  of time. So represent those grandmothers and grandfathers' faces that
• 54:14
  you see in the mirror. I love you all. I
• 54:18
  love New York.
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: This is amazing.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: I come from the forest. I haven't been here since 1988.
• 54:23
  I've been in the forest since then. So it's a
• 54:28
  different kind of forest. And there's a different kind of
• 54:31
  animal people here.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: But I feel you.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: I feel every one of you. What we breathe out
• 54:38
  is carbon dioxide. That's what the plants and forests breathe in.
• 54:42
  What they breathe out is oxygen. That's what we breathe in.
• 54:45
  Without us, the forest dies. Without the forest, we die.
• 54:50
  So how connected are we to this world? I'm going
• 54:53
  to share with you a musical instrument I made 30
• 54:57
  years ago called a wand sock. It's made out of
• 54:59
  an elderberry tree and it just has some designs on
• 55:03
  it that made me happy. I've used it forever and
