  1. Holy moly, Amanda, thanks for letting me know, us know! And welcome to the world, Chelsea’s baby!

    cool!

    makes me happy tonight, to know this.

    as do many things right now, including this wonderful video, including the rain on the roof in my new place to live where I am spending my first night, YEAH! 🙂

  2. Thank you Amanda for your comment and for alerting us to this wonderful artist/human being called JR. The images have not left my mind since viewing it yesterday aft. with them popping into my thoughts every time I was awake last night.

    Wonderful news about Chelsea and her newborn. Please pass on my congrats and best wishes. Just last week I was thinking about the awesomeness of the planetary alignments for all the wee ones coming onto the planet right about now! We need them.

    Jere, I hear you and I share quite a few of those wild thoughts you are experiencing. Warm thoughts to you on your surf board zooming around the skies. We can do this you know. It is born from the love of self, lovingly holding the hands of the other for companionship. Take good care. You are one awesome dude. 😉

  3. ..I got this giddy thought, it doesn’t matter if I spend the rest of my life in jail, as long as I had a good time while on the outside.

    I must speak with peoples souls. (forgive my lack of punctuation).

    I want out, and I want out bad. But I want to leave this place with a smile on my face. I feel as if liberation is at my fingertips. (I’ve really got to find my path)

    Your humbled friend,

    Jere

  4. ..It just reminds me of how goofy and childish we all are.. I want Love man, I’m tired. And I think most of us are too.

  5. well that roused me from my nose-to-grindstone mode…… Is Chelsea not well? Or taking well deserved break??? Hope the latter, and if the former, sending my love.

  6. jere & shebear —

    i saw this photographer give his talk last night as part of a live viewing party for the TED 2011 wish grants, etc. JR is this year’s winner.

    i was hoping to find a video of his live talk from last night, but i guess TED has not posted it yet, so i asked anatoly to pop this one up on the blog.

    this photographer is only 27 years old! since i haven’t had a chance to watch this video all the way through (seriously swamped with chelsea out), i’m not sure if it mentions that he has invited anyone & EVERYONE to get involved. i’ll try to post the link to his project soon.

    🙂

  7. That was freaking brilliant — blew my mind. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
    Neptune in Aquarius has not been asleep for some people, I’m thinking!!

    This awesome photographer certainly has *his* eyes wide open and *his* creativity out there for the collective to see and better still, become involved with. That all of us have to get our creative talents riled up and channeled out of us is what I firmly *believe* in. We can’t switch on the tv or pop in stupid videos anymore and hide behind someone else’s manipulative celluloid messaging. We can’t avoid what has to be done and right away.

    I believe that includes encouraging some of our children to become lawyers who have the oratorical skills, generous heart and great ingenuity to confront the block heads and talk them out of their lies *and* defuse their power, to become healers who tend to the soul first and foremost and lead from there, to become farmers who sow seeds with the health of their neighbors upper most in their minds, etc etc.

    By bringing it all down to a more manageable scale, challenging ourselves and our loved ones to shovel the slime, inside and out, and firing up the cylinders of the heart to passionately getting this show on the road.

    Lights, cameras, ACTION people.

    P.S. I’ve been done with a cold these past few days but my spirits have been greatly bouyed by the spirited debates flowing here at PW. Fantastic stuff, as always.

  8. Thank you Anatoly. ..I’ve been baking on the idea of getting out of this ridiculous society. And reminders, of what I can do on my way out is a blessed relief.

    ..That made me cry, and my day, thank you.

    Love, Peace, rebellion in full creative force,

    Jere
