Don't do the dishes, create art!

A few years ago I realized that I tended to do things in the reverse order to there true importance.

So I always washed the dishes, worked for money, bought and maintained material possessions and, if I had time left over I would, create art, play with my kid, seek enlightenment and plan for my families long term happiness.

You will be glad to hear that, although l have not made many life style changes, I have hardly ever kept up with the dishes since then! :)

Don't worry about the small stuff, like politics!

Don't worry about the small stuff, like politics!

In or out the EU, or to Trump or not-to-trump. These are not the leaders who change the wide landscapes for the people of earth. Their arguments over the minutiae of laws will be fleeting. Great thinkers, artists and inventors change the landscape for us all. People like Martin Luther King, Jr. or Josiah Wedgwood change our lives in meaningful or lasting ways.

Teach your children tolerance, teach your friends too, by example. Love all the people you can, near and far, as fiercely as you can, and defend true loving thinkers where you find them. Those things change the world. X

Christmas, is peace on earth too sickly sweet for us?

My Christmas card to you:

Happy Christmas! Peace on earth!

So it's Christmas and the plan is to pump up the tire round my middle and be a consumer right? Oh, and makeover some pagan rituals to fit some other religions too!

Well it's also about an end to war. Peace on Earth, it's so unreal feeling a goal that saying it sounds corny, but it shouldn't. We really can stop spilling the blood of innocents on a massive scale, what's more we must.

Nostredame's predictions are vague and much translated but he more or less said that when we make it through the current chaos and war (in about 10 years from now) we will have peace for a 1000 years.

I don't really believe in predictions, I think mankind's fate is in everyone's hands every single day, but I do think we will get past war one day.

I'm making a donation to the charity I think best serves the goal of an end to war. I really believe it will be a reality in the not too distant future.

I'm blessed with a loving family, wonderful friends, and peace in my country of origin, and the country where I live. My children are safe in our home. I wish you the same this Christmas.

Happy Christmas. Love Kirsteen xxx

Good verses bad distraction!

I am sooo distractable!

 There are so many things I should be doing this morning other than chasing raindrops! However they are all mundane things that bring no lasting joy to any heart, clean the house, call the tax office... you know the kind of thing. I find if I wait to have time for art projects I never do them. So it can be good to be distracted. I'd hate to reach old age and realise I spent no time chasing rain drops. 

Here that are:
