This is Part 2 of the two part episodes of my conversation with Tobiloba Akibo. We delved deep into the whys - why is there an inferiority/ identity crisis present in the Landscape Architecture profession? Why do we do the work that we do and does that matter? Are we going through the motions or making the difference that we want to make?

This is a storytelling episode. It is called "The Smallest Hummingbird"; it is a story about courage and bravery, teamwork and unity; it is a story of the landscape above us, the sky.

Of Many Worlds in This World by John Dryden (1631-1700)

Just like as in a nest of boxes round,

Degrees of sizes of each box are found:

So, in this world, many many others be

Thinner and less, and less still by degree:

Although they are not subject to our sense,

A world may be no bigger than two-pence.

Nature is curious, and such works may shape,

Which our dull senses easily escape:

For creatures, small as atoms, may be there,

If every one a creature's figure bear.

If atoms four, a world can make, then see

What several worlds might in an ear-ring be:

For, millions of these atoms may be in

The head of one small, little, single pin.

And if thus small, then ladies may well wear

A world of worlds, as pendents in each ear.
