Membership on Earth




"Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth
and compassion against injustice, lying, and greed.  If people
all over the world ... would do this, it would change the earth."
William Faulkner

Times are changing, offering opportunities to improve existence on Mother Earth.  We must endeavor  to shed what has almost destroyed our land, and implement new techniques to heal with compassion for all.  There are numerous young people creating new techniques to maintain clean water, to eliminate waste, and live equally in cleanliness.  Their discoveries and voices need to be recognized.

Change will begin with each voice.  If we do not project our ideas for others to hear, how will we come together?  Just like a jig saw puzzle, all pieces are needed to reflect the diversity on planet earth.  We can work together until each and every piece is appropriately put in place.

If we do not have any healthy ideas for change, we can explore various topics.  If reading isn't a passion, there are plenty of documentaries with easy access on computers, cell phones and television.  Listening to the educated input of others, even if we disagree, helps us to form our own thoughts.  As members of this earth, we are entitled to raise our voices and be heard.

Awareness of the Need



"Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth
and compassion against injustice and lying and greed.  If
people all over the world ... would do this, it would change the earth."
William Faulkner


As a flower child, I was certain my generation would right the world.  I never protested nor committed any unlawful act, but my heart beat to the rhythm of change.  A bleeding heart is what I was often called as though the judgment would condemn me.  

Working within the system, the concept of success was abbreviated for change was painfully slow and often times nonexistent.  Rules and regulations were put into place by many reputable professionals who had never experienced nor understood the plight of the poor.  Bound by ineffective guidelines, generations simply replicated previous generations limited by the lack of life changing resources.  

I remain a hippie at heart, viewing the great divide between those who care and those who waste.  Children have the awareness of the need of others and begin outreaches to those in need through self-denial, engaging others, and giving however and whatever they can.  They fill my heart with the hope, they will generate the change to our earth,  I so longed to see.
