Friendly Neighbors

Storms bring us so much to think through and let go of, whether we're ready or not. Today's news clips of the realities our west coast neighbors are living through bring back so many memories of rough times gone by. I just happened to be reflecting last week, long before we knew what was to come our way yesterday. 

Thankful for all the helpers and doers, remembering those in need of our assistance, and maintaining focus on the path ahead and how we can keep building together for a future where life matters at least as much as our comforts.

Last call to see Golden Promise in Rome.

Golden Promise juxtaposes the imminent occurrence of sea level rise with citizen science water monitoring, contemporary art, performance and non point source water pollution prevention in locations surrounding my neighborhood. At a time when we struggle to find joy, clarity, understanding and purpose, I continue my commitment to honor self, family and community through local interactions amplified globally. By sharing personal reflections, actions and experimentations, I hope to inspire friends, neighbors and strangers to take note of the beauty and responsibility we have in protecting nature. It is here that we find peace, nourishment and our blueprint to the future.

Independence Day (which is also my birthday) in Rome 🇧🇿

So many artists, creatives and systems changers go about doing their daily work with little to no support. But once in a while someone reaches out a helping hand of encouragement, advise or financial investment. These are the moments that enable us to keep going despite the daily hardships that come along with walking the path to our destiny. This afternoon as I sit here enjoying the first of my final four days of fortysomethinghood, I feel thankful for all the work being done by strong heart minded people to nudge us all toward that life path of purpose set out before us as we chose our mission. Yes our patriotism and national pride propel us to a shared identity, but our life purpose and pursuit are what bind us to each other and the legacy we prepare to leave behind. Not for the glory but rather for the wellness of those who will one day follow in our footsteps. Let's keep supporting one another to dream bigger, feel deeper, and cast a wider net as we continue to pursue the dreams that will lead us all to the highest possible achievement: balance.

Four days before September 21, 2022

On to Rome!

On this 12th month of my journey to find new ways of interacting with the world near and far, I am please to announce next week's world premiere of the short film #GoldenPromise comprised of still and video footage of last year's interaction with Adam Kuby, MicroGalleries and FIU for a Global Day of Creative Action on Climate which coincided with Citizen Sea Level Rise Action Day here in South Florida. 

I am overjoyed to have this work featured among a small but brilliant cadre of fellow artists. It is indeed an era of transition, a time we have anticipated, our turn to listen, learn, strategize and take action! Let our creativity and love for science and math lead the way. 

Viva la tierra, agua y fuego!
