Relative Peace

After traveling through Asia I realized how beautiful the tree’s are there.

Please inquire to send you a portfolio of the diverse prints available.

Part of my journey is to document some serious character in humanity. I have met a few heroic types along the way. I believe that some of our truest of hero’s are our firefighters…

When courage and circumstance meet,
…hero’s are born‘

What is the purpose in being human?

I think this is a important question to remember and consider as we exist as a connection of nature. One of our opportunities in being born is to coexist on our planet upon our awakening in reality. I believe in purpose we tend to connect with a truth that inspires us to move forward in peace, love, and life.

What is a free democratic system?

Freedom in democracy is the knowledge of creating impactful change in consideration to humanity and the environment. As human beings we have the choice to be strong through substainability verses defensive reaction. It is easy to consider darwin’s theory of our united animal kingdom in understanding the diverse sense of nature in respect to priority in making longterm decisions. People, humanity, society, individuals, and the united kingdom of living things all want the same thing. Freedom. As human beings we have no control over our emotional feelings, and like animals we live our life through our feelings or instincts. Societies have been enlightened from the oppression of war due to the fact that forms of repressive control is outdated.

We are at the end of the earth as far as how much effort has been done to make life comfortable. Form’s of slavery, indifference, judgement, are all inconclusive to living well in a global community. Everyone has the opportunity to a purpose, to make a difference, to be inspiring, or to just be content.

Our political system is already where it needs to be in all honesty. It is up to individuals to utilize their own method of existing in part of or apart from of our biosystem. There is no need for struggle, no need to be fearful, and no need to feel less than a human being. We have all been born equal, free, innocent, and beautiful. Struggle, slavery, depression, reactive pain etc. only hurts and slows down our eco system; thus no one wants anyone to be within any sort of suffering.

The law of attraction play’s a huge role in nature and is a valid reason to attract and be attracted to harmony, respect, love, honesty, compassion, intelligence, and so forth. There is potential for all life to exist peacefully and without oppression. That is what it is to be human, we create our own reality as we go along, and that is why life is only brilliant.

Addictions in society are becoming less of a problem due to the fact of the generation of baby boomer’s retiring. Within the next few years you will see a huge shift in society in a new peaceful light. Society has awakened from the oppression of war in Iraq and has become brilliant in overcoming any threat of high pressure demand. In essence the global community has become aware in resolving issues by simple reform and conflict resolution.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”
Charles Darwin

Addiction: The state of being a slave to a habit or practice or something that is psychologically or physically destructive. If harmful addictions are a state of the self, then it is not selfish to become active in contributing towards the value of community and becoming in touch with a true purpose in life.

Physical Solution: Long term usage of any form of a “crutch” can be deceiving to the central balance of one’s reality. The best way to become free from mental slavery is to believe in the true self, believe in the purpose of being alive, and become active in doing things from the heart first.

One of my favorite projects to work on is Opera.

It is one of the most current forms of political awareness around. It is purely a classical art form… however it is true expression.

Sometimes what is currently happening as far as political change is only reflected through societies reaction.

Opera has always been considered a unique event to attend to because of the unity of music, theatrical performance, and in depth playwrights. Modern Art throughout history has always shed a light on the current state of humanity through transition of new movements.

I only question how abstract Opera is these days. We are entering into a new movement of modern peace, yet some Opera still portrays old playwrights of tragedy, mixed with the new age edit of harmony, dance, costume, lighting, and the generation who are attending. I guess it is how you take in the opera which makes sense. We honestly are coming out of a spam movement with the end of the war in Iraq, there is a new unity happening globally. Of course the ‘Art Form’ may be considered abstract, similar to the Dada movement (anti-war movement) that happened in the 20’s, only we have more technology, communication, and understanding for peace to become a reality in today’s world.

Evolution is natural, we are human beings on this earth with choices.

Society needs to make every decision justifiable in virtue with respect to living life sustainably well within our environment.

Choice: Moving forward in collaboration with global peace.

People need to be in touch with the value of current education towards peaceful solutions along with self sufficient survival skills that benefit living in a community instead of living competitively insecure.

Current education is more valuable than dramatic media:
Why? …because education helps to provide an understanding of ethical decisions and choices of equality that is available to individuals.

Example of Choices:

Communication.

Less judgment and more compassion.

Setting out time for gratitude of existing value:

Less consumer based action. More supportive energy providing to Eco/environmental solutions, awareness, and incentive towards those choices. http://www.greenpeace.org/international/getinvolved/give-earth-a-hand

Inspiration towards yoga and other physical activities.
Being in touch with the body that exists in a universe,
planetary rotation and local natural environment. Get involved and evolve.

Following through with Eco friendly projects:

Less domination value in nature but existing in nature with a peaceful awareness:

Militant transition->providing only solid relief to natural disasters and training of solid survival skills instead of creating more destruction/insecurity.

Taking steps towards inspirational goals of world peace.

Pro peace action starts with doing everything from the true heart first rather than the ego.

Believe.

Something was decided throughout time and that was to be alive. Grow, know the heart and achieve true value from the physical presence, along with the present nature.

The Olympic movement is to help inspire humanity to become in touch with the physical body, mind, and spirit. Being in touch with the self to inspire that reality. What are we honestly capable of feeling towards being truly alive?
