THANKSGIVING HARVEST
Our job is not the harvest
Our job is the seed
For what we sow, we shall reap

Reaping more than we have sowed
It's time for humanity to give back what is owed
Time to nurture the land, sea and air
To Bless our Earth with loving care

GOING GREEN
Doesn't start with doing Green Acts,
It starts with a shift in consciousness.

Shifting from a self-serving attitude...
To a Self/Humanity/All Other Beings on Earth/And Earth-Serving thought/choice/action mentality.

SET IN STONE
Anthropogenic Global Warming deniers
A worldwide group of willful & ignorant liars

We battle on to prevent this death requiem

We.. the ones who respect & protect our Mother Earth

PRAYER STONES
Violating the land, air and water
Desecrating the network upon which our life depends
Mighty stones, send thee up this prayer
That humanity learns to respect all living things
So, Earth becometh not, a sterile & lonely place

ECO-WARRIOR
I'm not an environmental activist...

Indigenous knowledge & wisdom is one of the most underutilized yet profoundly effective paths to mitigating anthropogenic global warming.

Amplifying Indigenous voices isn't just equitable...

Audun Rikardsen positioned the tree branch hoping it would make a perfect lookout for a Golden Eagle. He set up a camera trap & occasionally left road-kill carrion.
