Ecological necessities are not votable


I used to watch the whales from my grandmother’s upstairs window. Trying to focus her huge binoculars in my hands to see amongst the red-herrings of sea-weed, if there were any big moving bodies of energy about. We like them being there, even though we don’t watch them daily anymore. To kill them… it’s like flattening an island, sinking a ship full of people, tearing down a mountain, cutting out a rainforest, blowing up my neighbour’s home…
Humans cannot live without anything else to sustain them. Even lead boxes let things in and humans have pores that sieve the air and great big blow holes taking in and expiring. We interact with the earth and its creatures, we even interact with the energy of far distant singularities. Interconnection cannot be denied. I’ve tried thinking about a way a human could sustain itself without anything else and I came up with the idea of humans feeding off humans. It wasn’t a utopia and it still didn’t quite make sense.
So I reckon we’re not actually destroying the earth, we’re destroying our habitat. The earth will live on, it’s bigger than us. Humans will die off. And I like humans. It’s just that some of their systems tend to run backwards, or take way too much time to catch on, making human survival doubtful.
As I voted today (incidentally in a polling booth which is normally an army barracks) I thought, is there satisfaction is killing when it is not for hunger? Or are people doing as they are told because someone else says the only choice they have is this? And why indeed is it that only a couple of parties really get to have a say; when one is prepared to pulp Tasmania’s forests, and the other is stuck in the raciest and dirty industries of the 1950s? And neither would be prepared to protect the big visiting locals who travel the sea.
When people are forced off their land they own, with guns to their head so that companies can mine it… I just find Australia a little strange. But at least there are some organisations out there prepared to body-guard the whales.

Finding the four-leaf clover hex

There is a hex of four-leaf clovers glued to this painting. 24 leaves in total, which incidently was the age I began finding them. For about a year, every time I looked into a patch I saw one.
I had a sudden change around that time. The fifth dimension of electro-magnetics opened up and I became very conscious of this sense. And the gateway, or the first instances of this, was finding four-leaf clovers. There was even a point where I found a mound with five-leaf clovers. Although I somehow lost those.
When I returned from travelling around Australia there were only these six clovers in my big dictionary my family kept for me, the others had somehow fallen out.
This painting has evolved around these picked-up unusuals. Though, I have not seen a four-leaf clover since. And if I do, I will not pick it. But, I still look out for them, just to see that twinkle and spark that the earth once made so obvious.

When describing living adream, people want to attribute this experience to narcotics or illness. (And I subscribe to neither.) I do understand though, accepting my way of seeing might mean people have to go through the trials of paranoia possibilities, until they are free to accept that interconnection is possible.
And it is possible, just not reliable. Is there anything in the universe that is truly reliable? If there is please let me know!
Anyhow, finding four-leaf clovers is just something a person can sense out without knowing how they do it. Possibly because the reasons they find them has to do with the vast complexities within the earth giving such insight. And through this and many other experiences I know interconnection exists as more than just coincidence, it is now a sense I’m fairly conscious of. Not like ESP or prescience, more like stumbling upon the Welcome Stranger, or the Hand of Faith. But see the earth so far has not given me gold, but things like freaking four-leaf clovers!
