In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced him to do an interview. 38 years later, Levitan, director Josh Raskin and illustrators James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina have collaborated to create an animated short film using the original interview recording as the soundtrack. A spellbinding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit and timeless message, I Met the Walrus was nominated for the 2008 Academy Award for Animated Short and won the 2009 Emmy for ‘New Approaches’.

“Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.” ~Paramahansa Yogananda
“Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women.” ~Nora Ephron
Much gratitude and love to all the beautiful Fathers out there…
“We are all part of the same thing, the singularity and inherent oneness of existence. Until we truly get that, we are not making real progress. There is a lot of misery being generated by the intention of a select minority on this planet enabled by the masses of under-informed. Most days, the urgency of our times inspires me to maintain a sense of peace in a world run by sociopaths gone utterly mad. I have a hard time believing that we are destined to go out this way, like a stupid rampaging beast, smashing to bits anything and everything in our path as we careen over the cliff. Another world is possible in every instant. The power to share, to contribute, to change is abundant and always around us.” ~Garrison Buxton
Garrison and his wife Alison are the Street Art duo Buxtonia. Creators of the Ad Hoc gallery which gave many a street artist their first show while creating a sense of connectedness between Street Artists, Graff writers, photographers, screen printers, and social activists who all responded to the high vibrational pull Alison and Garrison created. The duo now travels around the world collaborating with street artists and creating awesome pieces like the one featured in this post. Love them!
Some wonderful people in Germany decided to save some cows from the slaughterhouse. So glad they did. Check out the beautiful reactions the cows have to being free. So moving. Enjoy!
Love this video by Charles Eisenstein. Humanity can create such a better world than the one we’ve been handed. The best is yet to come.
“Part of us wants collapse. Because the world that we live in isn’t good enough. We feel that the world is supposed to be much more beautiful that what’s offered to us as normal. Thinking to ourselves when do we get to enjoy the fruits of thousands of years of culture and technology? So it’s natural for us to want things to fall apart. We feel trapped and don’t know how to get out, how to live in a world where its normal to look strangers in the eyes, where it’s common to love your work and look forward to Monday and not even distinguish work from play. Education should be about finding out what form of work for you is close to being play—work you do so easily that it restores you as you go. Work should be enacting and strengthening that. Live in your element, which is that of the earth, which is that of creation, which is that of the Creator.” ~ Charles Eisenstein

“True autonomy arises when we have broken free of all the old structures, all psychological dependencies, and all fear. Only then can that which is truly unique and fearless arise within us and begin to express itself. Such expression cannot be planned or even imagined because it belongs to a dimension uninhibited by anything that has come before it. True autonomy is not trying to fit in or be understood, nor is it a revolt against anything. It is an uncaused phenomenon. Consciously or unconsciously all beings aspire to it, but very few find the courage to step into that infinity of aloneness.” ~Adyashanti

Boasting five types of kale, 23 kinds of heirloom tomatoes, strawberry plants, microgreens, and five varieties each of squash, eggplant, hot and sweet peppers, basil and more, the greenhouse garden at Henry Ford Hospital features an extensive hydroponics system and an exquisite lobby for entertaining, teaching kids and hosting events. Putting health back into hospitals. Love this idea!
