Perceptions
Perspectives
Alternatives Of Enlightenment
Perspective.............Great Word...............Way We View Things...........Ourselves..........................Our
Mistake However, Would Seem To Be That We View Things From The Perspective Of How Things Relate To "Us" And, More Specifically,
The Individual..................A Much More Enlightening(And One Thinks, Much Grander) Way To View "Things", The Universe,
World, Other Species, Is To View Them From The Perspective "They" Have On The Universe And World Around "Them"..............A
Perspective Of How We Are Viewed And Not How "We" View................The Ultimate Perspective Of Course Is Not How We View
Nature But How Does Nature View Us?
Contemporary Image -- Nature's Gift
To Be Limited By One's Own Thought Is An Absurdity As Well As An Indignity...........One's
Myth Assumes Control, Dogma Prevails And Endures, Mind Gives Way To Irrational Acts Of Blind Obedience To One's Own Creation
One's Art..............Nature's Art.............Much The Same.......Always The Frustrations,
The Disappointments, The Failed Experiments, Ideas And Thoughts Which Hold Or Serve No Or Little Purpose................Yet
Always Out Of That Mass Of Confusion And Chaos Arises A Single, Simple Little Spark Of Creation...................Of Something
New............Of Something Which Might Just Take Form

Antartica
Losing Up To 36 Cubic Miles Of Ice Per Year
Along Coast, Temperature Rise Of 4.5 Degrees In Past 60 Years
Over Past 30 Years, 5,500 Square Miles Of Ice Lost
Sea Levels Would Rise By 20 Feet If Just The Entire West Antartic Ice Sheet Melted
Greenland Ice Sheet
Annual Loss
1996--21.6 Cubic Miles
2005--36 Cubic Miles
Complete Disappearance Of Ice Sheet Would Result In Estimated 23 Foot Rise In Sea Levels
(And Here In Louisiana We, Typically, Think In The Short Term..............Can't Think Or Plan
Past The Next Hurricane Season....................We Should Be Planning As If One Hundred Years From Now Were Today.........)
Yes, Spring On The Horizon
(Finally)
Those Paddles To No Particular Destinations
With No Preconceived Notions Other Than Just Being Out There
Relating To Everything But One's Self
Identity Has No Certainty Out There
Only Being
One Glorious Member Of The Whole
Greeting My Many Friends............The Feathered Ones, Scaled, The Plants, The Insects, Mammals,
The.............
And Being Greeted
So Many Dialogues
So Many Stories To Share And Tell
No Worries Or Concerns Out There
For There Is Only The Consistency Of Creation.......
And Clearly Defined Consciousness
According To The World Resources Institute, Overturning Circulation(Atlantic Conveyer Belt)
In The Atlantic Is 30 Percent Slower Than That Between 1957 And 2004..............Global Ocean Circulation Is One Mechanism
Of Temperature Regulation Throughout The World...........Simply, Warm Waters Flow North, Cool Waters Flow South...............The
Present Reduction In Volume Of Flow Is Reportedly Equal To 60 Times The Flow Of The Amazon River........................One
Implication(Of Many)--A Considerable Change In The European Climate(In This Instance--Cold!)
It Is The Energy, The Thought..................It Is NOT The Icon!(Nature's Consciousness Has
Little Concern With Image(Or Myth For That Matter)
Abstract Art--Non Objective Painting?
Streams Of Consciousness................Consciousness Of Streams.............As Music...............Flowing
To The Fine Rhythm Of Nature's Ever Changing Pulse(Resonance)
Contemporary Art--New Image
Urgency May Well Pass Unheeded
As Well, May We
There Will Be A Succession Of Events To Which We Must Become Accustom...............That Is
Nature's Way............If We Insist On The Folly Of Our "Ways", Event Will Be Compounded..........Reaction Becomes More Than
Equal And Opposite
Southern Art--Environmental Artist
It Is Now A Question Of Degree Of Change, Not Change.......Just How Far Climate Changes "Will
Go" Is "Up To Us".............Even If We Stopped All Emissions Now, Irreversible Changes Will Occur....................Temperatures
Will Rise, Sea Levels Will Rise, Oceans Will Warm, Glaciers Will Melt(And On And ..............)...............Very Obvious(Always
Has Been)--If We Do Not Change "Our Ways", We Will Not Be Here To Witness Nature's Return To A Dynamic Creative Process
Music The Voice Of The Universe?
