This should be a mirror not a reason for finger pointing!!
Sometimes people do not feel they have power over circumstances in their lives. So we adjust or comply to certain living conditions.
“We are not your enemies…”
But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Esther, I know you and I have actually talked about this before! Which makes me so excited about Elizabeth Gilbert’s talk on nurturing creativity. The idea that as creative individuals, we are stricken with an anxiety and feeling of anguish in our work. I think I personally have an almost perverse relationship with these emotions and it has become something to be accepted and expected. Elizabeth Gilbert provides a much more healthy way of thinking and explains that products of our creativity are results of our collaborations with a “genius” or our other non-self.
Ole to you~

“3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage… all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning and food ….into 3 beautiful and hopefully compelling short films…..
= a trip of a lifetime.
move, eat, learn”

street art in Berlin
Berlin is full of contemporary art,
and also the silent protestors who spray and paste walls in the middle of the night.
I did a walking tower to learn more about the street art culture there and got to learn about some cool artists and what they’re upto in Berlin. While tagging is illegal, pasting and gluing is legal so the prominent artists use this method to create statement pieces for the public. Inspiring? :)
those two (the woman and the camcorders) are from an artist who calls himself “El Bocho.”
and this one:
is a street art piece about a polar bear named “Knut,” who was rejected at birth from his mother. He is known to have died from a broken heart after his care taker suddenly died from a heart attack. Read this article. Our tour guide told us that this piece used to resemble a real polar bear, with fur and everything but people kept taking souvenirs for themselves; leaving this as the aftermath.
so…. hope you are inspired to make your own sustainable street art!? I don’t think that it has to be on a wall either. there are lots of thinking and brain storming to do (it seems like) but sometimes, you just gotta get to it. :D
Contradiction.
How can some of my passions be so antagonistic to my moral values?
I am an individual of peculiar dimensions.
How can this be so? Rather I think maybe it should be the way I go about things.Then it wouldn’t be so. Right.
So my dilemma is that I am an fan of street art. Street Art. Not the kind where a guy just goes out there and vandalizes property by unskillfully writing his name on a wall. The good stuff. I’ve been trying to dabble in some stenciling for awhile now and it has just occurred to me how incredibly unhealthy the spray paint is for the environment. I really don’t know why it took me so long to make the connection. So now I am in quite some inner turmoil.
Do I go ahead against my values of preserving and protecting the environment to the best of my abilities and do art?
OR
Do I find another eco friendly method?
Duh. Eco friendly method.
…Right?
Now… What method would be best for my purposes?
