3:15 A moment of true contentment...
3:45 "I am so amazed at times that I am actually alive..."

THE STORY OF STUFF

This is just a teaser to a longer version that I hope you will share with anyone, especially a friend under 18 that can learn and incorporate the story of stuff into a story of less is more into their lives...

CAVE DWELLING

This Missouri cave home is like nothing I have ever seen or would have thought to create | i don't know that I would go for this as my home, but the ingenuity and the idea that it fosters health and harmony encourages me to seek out the same.

WATER | FEIST

I can't stop thinking about cleaning and conserving water these days | when I found this song and realized the lyrics stated 'the water didn't realize it's dangerous size' I felt compelled to recognize that the element that could eradicate our species and life on Earth as we know it is merely an innocent victim of our trauma | there will be many more postings on H2O in this blog so for now worship the melody and the glory of Feist.

THE WATER
The telegraph cables hung
Few can decipher who the message is from
And deliver it quietly
'Cause some don't get much company

The harbor becomes the sea
And lighting the house keeps it collision free
Understand the lay of the land
Don't let it hurt you
Or it will be the first to

The water
The water didn't realize
Its dangerous size
The mountain
The mountain came to recognize
Its steep and rocky sides
More than realized

Pale as a pile of bones
You hope for your babies and this is how they grow
Wind-battered, knocked over
The teeth by the shoulder
Watching the gray sky that's acting like a good guy

The water
The water came to realize
Its dangerous size
The mountain
The mountain came to recognize
Its steep and rocky sides
Came to recognize
Its steep and rocky sides
More than realized

BOXED WATER

California usually leads the way, but the pressure is too great for our state to solve EVERY social and environmental issue...so GO MICHIGAN! | Plastic bottles are totally NOT PC | Recycling is cool | Compostable products are even better | and figuring out a way to consume water sustainably is our only choice | The idea for Boxed Water is BRILLIANT and makes me feel like my brain is cloudy | Get it in your hometown and cherish it like a cold glass of milk with a moustache.

WE ARE SO SMALL

Hoping we all learned our lesson as children, I've always felt like we must share our home with plants, animals, energy...and that our egos are making it a challenge for other species to share the space with us, when in reality, we are SO SMALL compared to beautiful, floating creatures like whales | i am captivated by the voice over in this video and the well chosen music for the moment when the baby blue interacts with the crew | if you aren't already paying attention to how your actions affect our Earth...just imagine Goliath taking little David down for simply not learning his lesson.
