Just to the right of the center on the blue green ball, is the Gulf of Mexico, where the now largest oil spill in U.S. history continues unabated. The zone of life on Planet Earth shrinks daily. If you haven’t seen the movie Avatar, check it out. The movie won three Oscars for Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Visual Effects. The movie’s director, James Cameron of “Titanic” fame has poignantly captured the madness of the humans – engaged in profit driven resource extraction, utterly disconnected from the sacredness of life.
Things aren’t hopeless here on Earth though. Far from it! Each one of us has power – the power to dream, to imagine a different world, and to make that dream reality. There is no such thing as safe offshore oil exploration – it’s another corporate lie. Meanwhile – despite local variations, the planet is steadily getting warmer. That’s the real danger in our addiction to oil. Please lobby your elected officials to promote investment in alternative clean energy such as solar and wind.
As a pre-requisite to achieving a sustainable ecosystem that includes humanity, each one of us also needs to walk the path of personal balance, mindful of our physical-emotional-spiritual health. But our window of opportunity is short, the brief candle of this life blown out quickly. Chi tune up anyone? Make an acupuncture appointment.
