Moving light.

The Views.

Spring is nearly here.

    Spring nearly here, dry and cool, some flowers are appearing. What a relief. The flu, dragged by bees, pulled through a hedge backwards and generally feeling like death warmed up. What a nightmare, have not had anything like it in twenty years. No person should feel obliged to work or attend school with such an awful viral infection.  Many attend public places when it is so obviously a contagious risk factor. Anyway getting over it, glad it wasn't the Spanish flu! The climate is intensely cold for months on end, which was not always the case. Must be the magnetic shift and ice floe melting, adding to our woes. All the nuclear explosion tests and pollution is obviously causing some measure of damage to the atmosphere. Humans are so careless of their environment, now as with all things, the chickens come home to roost. Speaking of chicken, it is difficult to find organic chicken for the family, Supermarkets are truly failing customers. In fact, the term customer eludes the mindset, consumer is the buzz word of today. I assert myself as a customer, thank you. Organic food is my preference, in recognition of the true origin and design of nature.

 In fact am trying to become vegetarian. Food choices are very limited in supermarkets, yet there is plenty of packaged junk on the shelves. It actually is becoming quite trying, sourcing real food. A feeling of dread, as it dawns upon me, that it is all processed and pesticides present. It is really going to have to be a shift to organic in a German supermarket and now going to attend organic  food markets. There is one not to far away, but a Sunday is not the most convenient day, for a market! It is all a matter of changing habits. Never thought, I would be so concerned about food. Having seeing my grandfather's farm and the production of food, it never occurred to me that anyone would treat it's production with such blatant disregard for human health and ecology. In the not so long distant past, food was trustworthy, now one is on edge, is it genetically modified? Is it pesticide free? What a nightmare, it is definitely Alice in Wonderland. The mad hatters running the show. And of course, it is not just food, it is a horror story concerning many Human Rights.

   Nature inspires and it's beauty is our lifeline. the destruction of our planet and ecology is growing by leaps and bounds. It is terrifying what the corporate world and indiscriminate politicians are willing to do and not do, in pursuit of resources and profit. We all now need to find courage, the will to effect change. Some write, some protest and attend marches, but jokes are made about the valid concerns of populations. Worse still, some are subjected to harassment for the act of protest. It is a very serious break with the social contract. Many others are suffering nuclear pollution in absurd circumstances. One would think with all the technology and information available, green resources would be harnessed immediately, but not so, in some parts of the world. The war machine is of more interest to unethical investors, rather than human security and ecological protection. The ethical investors are threatened by this destructive mindset and the sooner they wake up to the fragility of their investment and the world, the quicker and the better, the unethical can be held to account. Hope I find the path to effective change, what works?, what doesn't?

My grandchild has to have a future as do all the children of the world, so honour bound to act. Many are aware and doing so much, can we leave them to it, without some effort on our part? No, we all have to be supportive of genuine efforts to uphold and protect Human Rights and the Ecology. Political actors are very disappointing, very narrow and ultimately, are not rising to the occasion. The time has come for demands to protect family, food, water, home, human rights and political and corporate accountability. Where is the law in all this? Where is the law to protect the organic nature of our plants, food, ecology, creatures, and human genes, themselves? The law is not good enough, then law will have to be there to protect what we inherited. The path through law is long and slow. Filibuster has no place in the law.  There we start.
