On what they called the Black Saturday, temperatures rising up to 48 degrees Celsius in Victoria, the same day the bushfires started, and nothing more to do but take a bath on the beach in Melbourne. High winds and hot weather, beside the drought that kept the area for many months, all too many of ominous signs in many of the fire danger zones across the state and over all of the global climate change. A HOT DAY: On February, 7th, 2009= 2+7=9 and 2009=11, which equals 9/11, the hottest someone could get, to never forget...
Up to now the fire consumed a large part of the native forest, and the bushfires are still devastating the area, as the wind grows stronger and the high temperatures still remaining, making it impossible for the firefighters to just act in the whole region. It's just sad that there is not much we can do but pray that rain will finally come on the way.
With the recession and the global financial turmoil, it's time to roll up our sleeves and help people get in touch with what truly matters in our world by spreading the words of equality and fairness, and putting our fingers in the economic problems to solve some issues that have been like a plague, and giving solutions to the mess we all are. People are so concerned about their loosing money that they got lost amidst the deepest despair when so many live in hunger and are getting hungrier by the minute. In our rushing times it's just so easy to disconnect from what is really important in our lives. The basic needs are indeed what truly matters in all languages, all nations and all colors: to have a home, food in our plate, a good health, piece of mind and someone to share all that. So in five days I will be joining the world with words at the blog action day to getting verbal about poverty around the world. Would you join me too?
This Sunday I went to the museum of Beaux Arts here in Santiago to see Niemeyer who recently celebrated his 100th birthday. What I most enjoyed about the exhibition, besides wandering around the building, was to go inside a dark room and see a projection screen showing a video where Oscar (with a head as bald as his architecture in the sense of simplicity and functionality) tells with details about his life as architect and public figure. "Life is just a breath", a minute and gone. That's not exactly the message from his creation which seems to scream out loud that they're there to stay forever in the eye of the viewer. His global intentions are circular and round, as the curves the Universe is made and as nature itself. Oscar never won an Oscar (and believe him when he says he never intended to win a prize or praise) and his works are as golden spheres. Go see, they're all around the globe (with no pun intended, I swear!:)
At last, we should care for Mother's Earth. Let's all act today for a better tomorrow, Or the future will be filled with sorrow... Having good conscience has its worth! Ana C.
All my paintings and handcrafts are made on recycle paper And NO to those Plastic Bags that keep making the sea life sick! I also make handmade bags with my creations on organic cotton with acrylic and painting for fabrics.
KEEPING YOU (AND THE EARTH) FIT Walk more, be fit and enjoy Nature in a Stress Free "Feet-ness" in Bora Bora I created polls on my community "Dance As One"on ORKUT about the problems we all face today. The POLL:
What's the Best Solution to Stop Global Warming?? What would you be willing to do to help our Earth??
[X] Use less automobile, car and walk more?? [X] Talk/Meet with governamental authorities [X] Denounce ecological crimes [X] Stop smoking [X] Recycle more [X] Not waste water, to cleanse, rinse, with economy [X] Unplug any devices or electronic supplies while they're not being used. [X] Warn people about the problems we face today [X] Plant trees (I've got plenty of avocado trees after I started recycling on my garden:)
(You may add an option here if you don't see it above)
Now I'm takling showers and rinsing my hair while I fill up a tank with the water I used. This way I have it to clean the floor, wash the toilet and flush up the residuals. I cannot just sit down and watch the global weather changing so radically, and one should be blind not to notice that the changing is real and scary too! Anyway, hugging trees, I should have named that too, for I also do that a lot, especially for those which protect me from those acid rains and from the gigantic tempests that's been happening more and more over the years. Such a shame we didn't take care of that, although much have been said (and not done) since that ECO convention that took place in Rio in the early nineties. Back then I already had my ecological agenda when someone asked me, "Is it because Ecology is IN??" Like saying that I was just following a trend, the new fashion... Well, I said, "Nope, it's because the subject is so out there and we seem to do so little. I'm just getting started with that!" So much that we still need to learn. Tell me about economy!! Soon there will be no more Politics, or Economics: only ECOS!! If you have other suggestions I will be just thrilled to learn... Also take a look Here, and find out that one person can actually help stop the global climate drastic changings.
Actually, I remember me hugging trees when I was a little girl. They soothed my heart many times, when I was the one who needed a hug... I guess it was my own instincts telling me that I needed them to be alive! I also talked to them... they used to tell me many stories... like a grandma!! Oh, those old days when we could stop by just to listen out... some good connections! What am I talking about?? Old days, no way!! I'll be right back... I just remember that I have a tree I just planted to give a hug full of CHI... Cheers!
