Sustainability
Tenured Harvard Business School professor, now at Oxford University.
All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I’ve been for a walk (I’ve been for a walk)

Logic as we know it does not exist. In short, each dream has its own unique and self-defined indelible reality to the dreamer.
