Issue No. 7 QUESTIONS

For the Questions issue we are turning our focus from the outside world and bringing it inward. Each day for 100 days we will step out into the world and meet with one person. We will ask each person we meet the same 12 questions. At the end of 100 days we hope to capture our collective voice within this interwoven web of dialog.

Day 35: Brent Bowyer

What do you do for a living?

I do two things. I do equine facilitated experiential learning which uses horses to teach leadership skills, personal development, discovery and healing. The other job I do, I work with an electronic engineer servicing all the communication towers in our area so people like you can use your mobiles.

What do you do to feel alive?

Play with horses. Play my fiddle – when I get the time – that makes me feel alive. And I like to be in nature – connected to nature.

A lesson you learned from your mother:

Unconditional love

A lesson you learned from your father:

The value of nature and trees and all creatures

What’s the most beautiful thing you saw today?

Probably it was the sight of the early morning – of the storm clouds rolling over the mountains.

What’s one thing you wouldn’t want anyone to take away from you?

I don’t have anything that I feel that attached to.

What’s a thought you would like to never have again?

That I’m not a complete human being – that something in me is lacking.

If you could become an inanimate object what would it be?

A directional compass

When do you feel most loved?

When my heart is connected with “the heart” – which is the faculty that brings us closest to out maker/creator/originator – whatever term you would like to use to describe that.

If your life were to end tomorrow what would be left undone?

I guess it would be the achievement of the station of union – in a mystical sense – not in a political sense.

What global issue would you take on if you didn’t have to worry about how?

I guess it would be the even distribution of resources. By that I mean no one would own the resources and they would be shared equally by all people.

What’s the scariest thing that ever happened to you?

Probably being in a serious car accident and losing 48 hours of consciousness.
