Onix Rainbow

The line of my life has reached a nice soft curve.
Things fall together apart, instead of falling apart together.

It is invigorating to see all of this change around,
people are feeling more, keeping the hope of a new dawn for humanity alive
i want to be part of this never-ending web of expanding feeling of oneness.

Health bills and borrowed money count for nothing when you have to eat,
they count for nothing when you have to drink water,

Government doesn't allow change, but it doesn't have to
because the most important change of all will occur within you-without you

All things grow
but the most important ones grow many times everyday,
like a smile, like a sense of environmental responsibility, hugs grow, love grows, plants and children, your nails, my nails, the courage to speak your heart, the need for change, new music, but above all.... LOVE.

So by looking at your dark you WILL find the light.
Remember that the candle may go out, but the wick always remains.

Colors and Children

So i was just looking at some pictures of an indigenous tribe in Colombia called the Wayuu.
They are a fascinating culture that lives in the north of the country in a desert next to the Caribbean sea.
I read a bit about them and found out that they were the only indigenous tribe not to be completely conquered by the Spanish, they learned to use horses and guns and fought them off.
They were able to keep their language, their land, and culture.

The children of these people are possibly the most beautiful human beings i have ever seen, and all of their textiles and weavings are so full of color! everything is so vibrant, so vivid.

People like them make me feel proud of being not only a Colombian, but a human being. The fact that they have survived so much violence and are still able to keep the colors, the smiles. It bewilders my soul.

If you have some free time today, look up WAYUU on flckr. you'll see what im talking about.

These Times

Modest Mouse has a song titled "the good times are killing me"

Its a pretty Genious title, because the "good times" now days are also the most destructive times.

creation takes work.

creativity costs time and effort.

art isnt as easy and free flowing as one might think.

But what else is worth your time?

Do you want to change your condition on this planet?

CREATE something, anything.

small

big

it doesnt matter

make something that makes you FEEL good

make something that will make your neighbor FEEL good, or bad

any FEELING is better than no feeling.

so get out there and propagate the FEELING

get out there and paint,

get out there and sing,

get out there and dance,

get out there and cry in the rain,

get out there and look up at the clouds and smile at them,

get out there and make love.

and make it stay in your heart forever.
