this is me

this is minnow, enjoying the midday sun. but this is a metaphor of me in my happiest state, in the light of the sun.

In the process of taking up yoga, reconnecting with prayer and meditating, certain ideas I associate with hippies have returned to the surface. The foremost being a desire to change the world.

For the past 10 years I have been trying to ignore the world around me as much as possible in order to not be depressed about what is happening. Lately i have felt the desire to change instead of ignore.

Today I did a footprint calculator www.footprintnetwork.org, this told me what my carbon footprint is. Apparently we need 4 earths to sustain my lifestyle if everyone lived this way.

And did you know the biggest way to contribute to making your carbon footprint smaller? Reducing the amount of meat you eat, or just becoming straight vegetarian. That is fascinating to me. Who knew? All those cows farting and pooing is making our world worse.

So that is now something to consider. That and recycling, I have to recycle, I have these recycling bins that i use for storing winter clothing and crafts. I got to take those down and recycle with them. I thought about hiring a recycle company, but that would be just more emmissions.

All this while I am thinking about driving across the world in a car to promote my music. Eeeek! Well one step at a time as they say

oh dear i am hungry, bring on the steak!
i mean, perogies
