Here's a few photos of life in Tofino. The guy sanding is my friend Gab; he's french-canadian and proud of it! Hope you enjoy.

All this talk about money and oil is making me sick. Water!

Well I think I've said what I needed to be said on money and oil. Money is the root of all evil and it's powers are toxic and oil is just shitty. So without further a-do. Water!

It ain't clean no more. It ain't free no more. And we are giving the cleanest and most free to oil companies (there's just no getting away from them). So what have I to do? Well after driving my van to the beach and town and back daily i quickly realized stopping would be a good solution to my wasting gas. I pulled into a property half way between the beach and brewery I had stayed at years past, a commune of sorts. Here I will have to work very little to maintain a comfortable pleasurable existence and I will be paying towards a visible viable change in culture. For Poole's Land is just that; a sanctuary for rebels and lost souls and a real direct visible difference in a way to live that is easily accessible. Here, the water IS priceless. Here the water is sacred and here it is used to grow healthy fruits and vegetables. While taking a shower you will not leave the water running the whole time you are beneath the head.

Who are you? Are you Canadian? Does Canadian mean to ignore the facts and continue existing as if we can continue forward like this forever? There must be a change or we will remain Oppressors, brutes and murderers. Don't become your parents that you disagreed with when you were freer of mind body and soul. It is better to live closer to the earth...It should be taught, enforced.

Blah blah blah....Don't put Draino down the fucking pipes!

London Riots Vs. Wallstreet and greedy Politicians

What really happened in London? Well it did not stem from nowhere, No. The anger that manifest itself was planted along time ago in the system of society where there is haves and have-nots. Large amounts of money are spent keeping few people happy safe and comfortable and perpetuating a system that, though it is completely toxic and destructive, makes these people rest easy knowing they wont actually have to sweat for their meal, or car or private jet, penthouse, second house, etc.

The other, more populous side of the coin is the ignored masses living paycheck to paycheck, getting treated like second class citizens- ignored- and watching these corporate crooks get wealthy printing money for themselves while congruently making those holding the little money they have worth less and less. The ol' rich getting richer, poor getting poorer equation.

The mainstream media holds the public hand and directs their focus on the "hooded youth" who steal ipods and jeans and a couple bottles of wine without contextualizing the broader picture of neglect and worsening living conditions for the majority citizen. And the dept heavy public who sit defenseless and scared in their overly mortgaged houses are not satisfied with the judgement handed down to these 12 and 23 year old kids. The 6 months in jail is not good enough for them for a young girl who took some ipods while the real criminals - also caught red handed and often working in public view- print dollars and pay themselves millions in bonuses and incentives.

I believe The London riots, if anything, are the manifestation of the Kubler-Ross model for grief or death. The riots being the second stage of the process and a prophetic vision for future Canada/America/Developed Countries that will also soon rise to anger as public awareness spreads of the damage inflation can do to a currency and the people who use it.

This was the last paragraph of a CN_ news article on the riots:
"The violence first broke out August 6 after protests over the death of Mark Duggan in the north London neighborhood of Tottenham. He was shot after a police unit that deals with gun crime stopped a cab carrying the 29-year-old father of four.

The people had a right to be mad, they demonstrated their anger and some trifles were lost. If corporate owned Media would choose to focus on the real reasons and problems for the riots; The growing disparity between rich and poor, the violent and perverted abuse of those with power and the lack of a real believable promising future for anyone or anything then, and only then, might we be able to advance.

People need to get their priorities straight and realize who's on who's side. There are more people that will suffer from a few one sided big handed deals legislation and laws then a thousand petty crimes. To me uprisings like this are a sign of a healthy society, one that still shows it has blood in its veins. I can't condone any of the human on human violence and I pray to truth and for the oceans that we collaborate, connect and change into a different way of living very soon.

Rideshare

I gave this 69 year old a ride from Nelson to Vancouver on her way to Sweden. She rubbed essential oils on my wrist and neck as this was her profession for many years, and it made me feel exceedingly light of spirit yet focused, aware and clear. We stopped here, in Keremeos, to look at all the pumpkins and gourds and take a break from our 8 hour journey. I snapped a photo and perhaps told her i would send it to her but i don't believe i ever got around to it. So this is my appeal.

Predictions:

Things start looking good. The prices at the pump go down for a week. The main stream media reports positive stock numbers. The sun starts shining brighter and hotter everyday...

Then a report. Finances are actually in trouble, oil is actually in trouble, the environment is actually in big big trouble.

The over-printing of money in America causes inflation then hyper-inflation...prices break down. All of a sudden 100,000 dollars is worth less than it previously was. -Also very convenient in erasing dept!- And your savings.

Gas prices rise astronomically. The hot gets hotter, the wet wetter, the dry driest. The volcanoes pop, the crust shimmies. Anything to try and correct it's natural earthy feel balance.

much later...

The market resets to a more natural state where prices are backed directly by assets. Things do become much more expensive and people are forced to live much more simpler based around the sun and the seasons. We are happy cold nosed, staring up at our breath, but warm and cozy in sheep and alpaca wool sheets and covers. Full of potatoes and corn and fresh, getting fresher, water. Our communities are stronger, our pride is deeper, our lives regain meaning and place in something much much bigger.

The future IS better we just have to survive the present.

WORD IS BOND

And if the current paradigm remains in place we will witness the end of the polar bear, the salmon, fresh clean water, topsoil. We will watch starvation on the grandest scale, poverty on the grandest scale, death on the grandest scale, Rape, Exploitation, War...our path has lead us to a dead end. It is time to get out of our comfortable yet numbing comfort zones and continue on our journey.

Here's a photo of me in December 2010 coming out of the ocean after swimming with pregnant turtles. It was a little startling when it was murky and a turtle would bump into you or swim by your face really close. You can't see them all but there were probably 1000 on the beach and an equal amount in the ocean popping their heads up once in a while, waiting to come ashore.
