What have they done to the Earth?

Tuesday, Greenpeace's activists took action using actual oil from the spill to paint “Arctic Next?” on the bridge of a drill supply ship contracted by Shell and due to head to Alaska for their Arctic drilling. Seven activists were arrested and are now being charged with felonies, for standing up to protect our oceans. Meanwhile, BP has yet to be criminally charged with anything!


What have they done to the Earth?
What have they done to our fair Sister?
Ravaged and plundered, and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and...
Dragged her down.......
(When The Music's Over - The Doors)


Are you really going to take this? ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO LET THE EARTH DIE? When the Earth dies, we die! GO on Greenpeace's Site to find out how YOU can help. "Think Globally, Act Locally!" - Paul Mcartney. 


What has the Earth done to us?
What has our fair Sister done to hurt us?
Given water and sun, and air and plants
Given us some storms, because we anger her
She's done us no wrong....
Held us high.......

Sweet Desires


Desire has no soul, no sympathy, no regrets about its actions. Be ready for stoic issues in life.


All living things have desires. It's in life's nature to have desires. Desires aren't living things. Desires have no emotions. They have no idea what they can do to us, what we are willing to do to achieve our desires. It is very easy to become attached to desires. The suffering of life is caused by attaching yourself to your desires. There is a difference between determination and attachment. Man must be willing to change at any time. No desire is worthy enough of being stuck in time and life.

Be ready for the things to come. PEACE!

Fool on the hill

"He never listens to them...he knows that they're the fool...they don't like him...the fool on the hill..."

Basically, there is Us and Them. There are two different kinds of people, those who want to change and help the universe, and those who don't. Sure, we may look crazy trying to help out Mother Earth, and other things, but we know that they are the crazy ones to not care. I can't wait to see their crazy faces when they realize our duty. Will they change?

You may not want to change, but change wants you.




"Be the change you wish to see in the world" - Ghandi

Waiting for the summer rain

Not sure about everyone else, but I am certainly in summer mode. Summertime is my favorite time of the year. It's the time when I can do what I please. I wake up when the sun calls me, I sleep when the moon lets me go. I can think freely and take action. Summertime brings all sorts of opportunities, make sure to take advantage of them. 


Peace!

What words cannot express

No matter how loud you speak or how much you have to say, sometimes you cannot get across the true meaning with words. That's why we have Music and Art. There's just something so magical about Music and Art that can grab the mind of man and take it away and turn it upside down. My grandpa showed me this stunning video.
Another sad war story...isn't war getting old? Is that really all people want to do is fight fight fight?
