We Can Change the World! It's dying...to get better!

We have the power of the togetherness,
use the screen to connect but in a positive way, to make change, and make our lives better and everyone and everythings life better. It's time!

We must change...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Running 
In the future all plant life on Earth has become extinct. A few specimens have been preserved in enormous, greenhouse-like geodesic domes attached to a fleet of American Airlines space freighters, currently just outside the orbit of Saturn. Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern), one of four crewmen aboard the Valley Forge, is the resident botanist and ecologist who carefully preserves a variety of plants for their eventual return to Earth and the reforestation of the planet. Lowell spends most of his time in the domes, both cultivating the crops and attending to the animal life.^[1]

Orders come from Earth to jettison and destroy the domes (with nuclear charges) and return the freighters to commercial service




https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Mimzy

The Last Mimzy is the story of the attempt by humans in the distant future to avert a catastrophic ecological disaster that has destroyed their world. High tech devices disguised as toys are sent back in time to Noah and Emma Wilder, children living in early 21st century Seattle. The "toys" are incomprehensible to Emma (Rhiannon Leigh Wryn) and Noah (Chris O'Neil), except for what appears to be a stuffed rabbit. 





Chicago | We can change the world - Crosby Stills & Nash

http://www.lyricsdepot.com/graham-nash/chicago-we-can-change-the-world.html

Though your brother's bound and gagged
And they've chained him to a chair
Won't you please come to Chicago
Just to sing
In a land that's known as freedom
How can such a thing be fair
Won't you please come to Chicago
For the help we can bring
We can change the world -
Re-arrange the world
It's dying - to get better
Politicians sit yourself down,
There's nothing for you here
Won't you please come to Chicago
For a ride
Don't ask Jack to help you
Cause he'll turn the other ear
Won't you please come to Chicago
Or else join the other side
We can change the world -
Re-arrange the world
It's dying - if you believe in justice
It's dying - and if you believe in freedom
It's dying - let a man live it's own life
It's dying - rules and regulations, who needs them
Open up the door
Somehow people must be free
I hope the day comes soon
Won't you please come to Chicago
Show your face
From the bottom to the ocean
To the mountains of the moon
Won't you please come to Chicago
No one else can take your place
We can change the world -
Re-arrange the world
It's dying - if you believe in justice
It's dying - and if you believe in freedom
It's dying - let a man live it's own life
It's dying - rules and regulations, who needs them
Open up the door
We can change the world

and I'm sure you'll agree. I was really surprised that the first video - Wall of Love has 300 views. I thought there was a mistake, but there wasn't. I only put it up 2 days ago, so that is wonderful. Let's see what happens now. Please watch and let me know what you think.

"Shrewdawg" called this the Wall of Repentance, but I disagee with the name. We didn't do anything wrong, some very challenged people did some horrible thing, and I'm not apologizing for their terrible behavior, just as the George Moen, President of Blenz says in his video here.

But what I really love about this video is everyone singing O'Canada   http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com/2011/06/blenz-coffee-president-george-moen.html 



I call the wall the "Wall of Love"

Last night we went down and took photos of the "Wall of Love".  Angel put little gold hearts on the wall - we said we were "Putting a lil' Love on the Wall"

Then some people were making little flags. So Angel made one too!




Art Therapy & The Teachable Moment

We all have a choice to live in LOVE OR FEAR!

Which do you choose?

We had been Downtown less than 2 hours
before the riots started.

We watched live footage on the news and
listened on twitter, in shock & traumatized by
terrible scenes of senseless violence.

We worried about loved ones who
were out working and watched
helplessly as beloved heritage
buildings were being looted
and burned.

Cars were burned.

Innocent people terrorized!

I wanted to show my child that while there
are "challenged people" that will do
terrible things, there are also many,
many good people in this world.

"Puttin an lil' Love on Wall" was very
therapeutic for me and for my 8 year
old daughter as it allowed the energy
surrounding the event to channeled
towards good.

It also allowed for the teachable
moment, so that she could comprehend
what had taken place a little better ."

Ingrid Tamboline was determined to come down to join a clean-up crew, but wound up conceiving a mini-flag-making project for passersby who want to make a more artistic statement. "I started finding some old rags and ripped them up into squares."
