70 years ago, at the time of his birth, according to a fired up Marin County author and activist in the subject of drinking water on the Planet Earth, that's us, this Ball of Life this beautiful adventure this, 'just another day in Paradox' as another friend described life yesterday. Life, Us particularly we the Winners. Humans. 70 years ago when he was born, the human population of the Earth was 2 Billion. Today it stands at somewhere over 7 Billion when the aforementioned fired up author, Jim Zidell says the insurance actuarial tables tell him that when he dies as they predict at age 85, the Earth will hold somewhere over 9 Billion Humans.
Sort of a phenomenon that we are living through. Nature at work. As much as we fight to save lives as Jim has done in inspiring form on a global level. We are busy destroying Nature.
Much of it on behalf of humanity or so some think. Slow it Down Some as Odell says. Not Obama, God Bless all the Obama faithful still with your proud bumperstickers. Of course they are tough to peel off. The Obama faithful are my friends I can't help it they seem to think
he is not responsible for where we are going. He has a good heart. I hear that a lot. ' I still think he has a good Heart'. OK. My heart is not so good. Not as strong as it once was. It's got a few beats left, I like to think ... forget that.. I know! I know (humbly Guy) it's got some Love Power.
Not a whole heck of a lot, but there is something going on in there.
So I am going to release Obama for the moment for his role as leader of a country that believes that off-shore drilling and nuclear power is the correct path. I'll just say that I reinvested in getting my bicycle ready for the Spring. The Earth revelation, revolution Peaceful Journey continues. I had no real idea where I was going with this writing but we need to begin to hold
ourselves and our communities accountable and start with ourselves and when I say our Community I don't mean bugging your neighbors but becoming a force with our Elected officials --- Greenwash is unacceptable.
The New Age JetSet lifestyle needs to be reexamined. Yes you. Slow it down some.
The only reason I had to have my/our own Earth Day Celebration in San Anselmo when the 'official Marin County Earth Day celebration was being held at the College of Marin was... how to put it politely, the 'Hideous' 3 story tall 'Fine Arts' building built on the green quad --( where
so much destruction goes on coast to coast on once beautiful campuses across America where
College Presidents raking in Million Dollar salaries push to expand.) I didn't want to be on the green celebrating Earth Day in the presence of that growing structure. The area of grass and green and shrubs 'was underutilized' as a local artist tried to explain to me. Train kids to be artists, millions of artists. More money, more bodies more money, more bodies, more money, more bodies just keep up that Mantra and you will have the philosophy of California understood. Om... let me see wasn't going to say something more positive on behalf of the world. Nothing really... we are part of a Natural Conspiracy that is beyond our comprehension
but overall will find 'us' on a solid foundation of Respect and Peace with Nature . I guess I best not predict how long that might take.
