To the Trees

Wana know what this life is for? Go for a walk: Thats IT! Yes, simple really, life is for you to live. It gets complicated when you begin to need things and worse, want. After a while we begin to confuse needs and wants and fins ourselves in a real pickle. War is a product not of the militairy, but of the wants and needs of us (we). There is no excuse to kill for something we want. And as far as needs, we've gone so far over-board on wants that we need so much more to cover our needs that we must take more from others.

Enough of that. If you were intreged by the title 'Gandhi Flower' you must have a pretty good idea of the roots of war. This is about celebration; "To the Trees".

Air is one of the needs I would like to focus on here. It is the co-title holder of the most important needs of us (we), water being the other. The first step in "change" is bringing an end to the current ways we do things, like using public transit instead of privatly owned cars. It will take YOUR BEST EFFORT, no one else. When a country changes it happens from the gorund up, meaning , people in their individual lives and communities will do things differently.

Television is an esy one, get rid of it. spend more time outside; thinking; meditating; exercising; conversing; playing games; cooking; creating; etc. You must seek out the ways in which you can do more of the work currently being done by consuming energy, or, by abandoning practices that undermine the philosophy of conservation, peace, and sustainablilty. The short of it is, you must lessen your consumption of energy. You, no one else.
