Save the Earth?

Having anguished so long about what to do to ‘save the earth’. I have realised that it is totally presumptuous to think the earth needs saving, she will simply shrug her mighty shoulders and ditch us when she feels she has had enough.

So actually, if humans want to survive, I would say, sod the earth – save yourself. It is us, who are poised to go extinct as a failed species, motivated by greed and desperation.

And how do we make things better? Again I have suffered agonies over what to do – grow veggies, save water, use less electricity, anxiety about the future of money, what will happen when it all goes pear shaped? And what happens when solar flares hit, and knock out the whole electronic system? It all got too much, so this is my solution, if anyone feels moved to join me.

My friend Craig Cumming suggested visualising a perfect world as I see it, and my life coach Louise Peterson tells me I manifest really quickly in my own life, so I figured if I just start to focus on a vision of living on a beautiful abundant earth, powered by clean, free energy, sparkling rivers, tumbling fresh water, profusion of fish, abundant fields of food, and aware, conscious humans living clean lives.

If we can consciously lift our thoughts and vibrate on a higher level, if we can reach critical mass so that the whole world has to change, surely we can lift ourselves out of this mess in one massive jump?

What do you think, can we create a beautiful world with the power of vision, prayer, mediation, positive thought… Please all share your visions for a perfect earth.

Love yourself

The entire law is summed up in a single command, Love Your Neighbour as Yourself. Saint Paul. I have long felt this, that if we love ourselves enough, everything would fall into place. If you love yourself enough, how can you possibly harm another, harm the earth? Lets get the whole world to feel love and respect for themselves, and everything else falls into place.
I am thrilled to learn that schools – Umhlali School being one, – are bringing self respect into their curriculum. What do you think?

What Art Means to Me – Peace

What art means to me: At the moment I am creating White on White canvases, pale, tranquil, using mainly recycled materials.

This is an indication of where I am right now, I could not make an angry dark collage if you paid me.

This is a place of transition, coming out into light having spent the year processing the death of my mother. I am amazed at how it affected me, how alone I felt after her passing even though she had become old and ill for some years.

Have you had a parent pass, and how did it affect you?

This white phase is a feeling of lightness, a brief blank space before forward movement starts. I love these canvases, they are peace.

Havent you ever searched for another star?
