What is being discussed here is a short wick subject presently.
That is the need for us to accept that change is required in our lives.
And who likes change? Do I hear deafening silence?
We know that we are at a cross roads.
Either we continue on our present unsustainable path and so leave in our wake a mess for others to clean up. Or we can refocus our lives and make some concessions that are fair and reasonable to ourselves and the planet that sustains us. Nature does not accept excuses.
The copy and creative expression I’ve used in the artwork here are almost twee (Folk art) by the standards of today’s intellectually grinding dominance but the comment is oh so valid to the heart.
All I am doing here is saying it like it is.
Our choice. Crunch time. NW
