I did a little internet research. The Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) is headed by Amory Lovins who John mentioned in this video. In the RMI newsletter for summer 1997, there is an article about the meeting at the Grand Wailea resort in April of 1997. The meeting was for Interface Inc who is a leader in sustainability, and John also talked about sustainability in the video. The newsletter includes a reference to Interface's CEO working with Amory Lovins on sustainability.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us. It's such a precious gift to be allowed to hear John tell in his own words how a song came about. It's amazing to me how he could stuggle so with the words and , then when put to the test, come up with just what the song needed. Oh, what songs we must have missed from John these past 12 years!

So I'm familiar with the struggles to come up a section of a story and to borrow a line Johnny has siad Insiperastion and Imaigination has been my true friend. Fitting message that his last song would be on Nature truestes and best friend that is his TRUE mes
