Ain't It The Truth? ***

At a fundamental level, functioning socially means mastering one’s impulses.  Benedict Carey

and it is SO hard to do at times.  HaHa

Can He? I Hope So. ***

Can a surfer kid influence how we use plastic? He certainly influenced me and I'm fairly sure you too will be effected.

In our day to day lives, we often don't realize how much of an impact we have on our environment and the heavy burden we contribute to earth's desecration and destruction.

Below is a short video that shows one result of society's unthinking  disregard for our home, our only home. 

I suggest we think next time BEFORE we buy and discard a plastic container.  http://www.nextworldtv.com  gives us more ideas on how to take care of the earth.  Good information each and every time I receive their notice.  Here is their latest offering.

Kyle Theirmann, a 21 year old pro surfer in Santa Cruz, CA
makes his own videos on how we can impact environmental and
social change.

This video, part of the "Surfing For Change" series, is about
ending single use plastic.

Welcome to the east side of the island of Oahu, Hawaii. He
isn't afraid to show you the heartbreaking scenes of pollution
caused by plastic that the tourists never see.

How We See Things ***

I took a magical walk down a Bonsai lane.  It totally changes one's physical perspective or is the word perception?

For me it is both.

 I felt to be a Gulliver's giant.

Yet see the little people

Lilliputians returned from the shopping mall?

Oh, Ye of Little Sleep ***

I haven't slept a wink all night long.  Thoughts marched and crashed in a jumble, only to linger for the longest time after arising.

Depth of Love ***

And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
