HOPE some wee words by the dafthermit

..................................................................................

As a single little droplet of golden blue water falls,

From the black leaden clouds high in the night sky

To land gently on the EARTH high in the mighty rocky mountains

And then in time form a mighty bubbling pure river.

That stretches to a far off ocean.

So one day soon love,light & happiness will form an unstoppable golden river

That will fill an ocean here on this wonderful planet we all call

………………………………MOTHER EARTH ……………………..

Love ,light and happiness the Dafthermit

Hope

(Humans on-line protecting Earth)

Hopes and dreams for the on-line-festival

My name is Andy the dafthermit .

A few people have now asked me what i hope to achieve with the festival.

I set the festival up on the 19th August 2009 ,i hope to create a place of love light and happiness

a place where we can all come together and share our many ideas about how to make this a better world

not so much for us but our children .

I hope through my art ie pictures, films and stories that i will be able to set something up for when i have gone to the great bus in the sky

that continues to generate money for causes all over the world …

I hope that we can all leave our negative energy’s by the gate and concentrate on the real dangers that we all face living on this wonderful planet we all call home mother

Girl speaks to the UN

SEVERN CULLIS-SUZUKI Environmental Activist Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been active in environmental and social justice work since kindergarten. At age 9, after witnessing burning in the Brazilian Amazon on a trip with her family, she started the Environmental Children’s Organization with her grade 5 friends. ECO was committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. Eventually they were successful in raising enough money to appear at 1992’s Rio Earth Summit, when 12-year-old Severn delivered a powerful speech at a plenary session that gained worldwide attention. For this, she received the UN Environment Program’s Global 500 Award in 1993. Since then, Severn has spoken worldwide on social and ecological issues, on climate change, and intergenerational injustice. Severn is proud of her work on the UN’s Earth Charter Commission, and participation on UN Secretary General Kofi Annan’s Special Advisory Panel for the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002 in Johannesburg, South Africa. At this Summit Severn brought a pledge called the Recognition of Responsibility, a declaration from students in Canada and the US. The trip also was the subject of a documentary film that aired on CBC’s long-running documentary series The Nature of Things. Severn uses many ways to get her message out. She hosted a children’s TV series called Suzuki’s Naturequest, and co-edited the book Notes from Canada’s Young Activists. She currently sits on BC’s Citizen’s Conservation Council on Climate Change, and the board of the David Suzuki Foundation. She has a Bachelor of Science in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Yale University, and recently, a Masters in Ethnobotany from the University of Victoria, British Columbia, studying with Kwakwaka’wakw elders on the West coast. She hopes her pursuit of traditional and scientific knowledge will help her mandate of promoting a culture of diversity, sustainability and joy. Severn now lives on the islands of Haida Gwaii.

Note to our Advertisers

Hi just a wee note to tell you that myself and Paul run the festival and blogs and we are dedicated full time to this.

And that at NO time will we ever pay ourselves more than

£15,000 or the equivalent in USD

We are dedicated to bringing peace love light and happiness to all the people of the world and we want to try and heal our planet we call home mother EARTH

Therefore any ads you take out will be directed to various causes the festival endorses, these will run from village schools to inner city drop in zones across the world.

A note will be placed under your ad to say that you are helping to sponsor a certain cause

Our dream is that any money raised will go direct to the cause and with the help of Skype we will all be kept up to date with the progress of the various projects

peace love light and much happiness

Andy owner of the festival and blogs

Paulie co partner in all that i do

Some wee words from me the Dafthermit

FREEDOM

……………….

Freedom ,Freedom to me is on so many levels but i reckon the four below are a good point to start this journey of discovery..

Physical

Emotional

Spiritual

Financial

To reach a state of harmony within our short life span here on Earth is surely all our goals ,i know it is mine to find and maintain a balance of the true journey not some man made one ,imposed on us .

Physical

………………..

This is one ,most of us in the west are able to achieve :

On the whole we are able to walk about and not be picked up by snatch squads etc ,of course i know that our governments step over the mark many times but on the whole we are free on the physical level we are not sat in some jail ,rotting as so many people are all across the planet..

yes i realise some people are and we must fight for them to be set free.

I say this as a traveller that has been imprisoned simply for being a traveller on several occasions .and took may beatings from the police ,i still believe though compared to a lot of countries around the world on the whole we are physically free ..

On another level even our own bodies and minds can and does imprison us .if we allow it to happen..

Emotional freedom

This to me is one of the hardest things to achieve , but myself and Mel chose to lead our lives away from people

To many times our hand of friendship has gone out only to be bitten ,we have been left homeless and penniless simply for trying to help someone ,well sorry .now we have control and where possible will not allow this happen again…

To deal with people that think they can use us to release their anger, jealousy or whatever pent up emotion onto us simply WILL not happen again.

So i guess for the first time we are both emotionally free at last ..

Spiritual Freedom

…………………………………

Like a lot of people i have often asked questions like :

What is it all about ?

How can this be ? etc etc

To me as a Dafthermit i am so happy that i have now found so many answers to MY questions

The first one and to the most important is not to look to man or their churches for the answers

Because you will only be told the bull shit they want you to know so they can keep filling there church coffers with even more money..

The answers to so many of our questions are all around. if only we would take the time to look

To me sitting looking at a wee flower fills my heart with joy and hope ..

Like the picture i was able to capture above

the sheer beauty of the flower with the amazing colours and shapes the variety of life nestled on it

the complete perfection of a simply fly with wings so delicate you are able to see right through them

the gold’s the yellows the whites nature has so many answers just look…

So at the age of 49

I am able to say i have reached spiritual freedom

my spirit is free and long may it be

and finally

Financial Freedom

…………………………………….

This to me is the simplest and i wish the rest were as easy to achieve

We are born on the stunning planet a globe filled with awe and majesty

but from our very first breathe we are told and shown absolute crap…..

We are conditioned to believe we must get a job then buy a house then save for when we retire

Our own parents that have already been brainwashed into this whole thing

They if you are lucky?

save for a deposit that you as the child will one day be able to put down on a 4 bed roomed 2 reception roomed house then spend the next 30 40 years paying ,madness.

We encourage our kids to go to University and study hard then leave with on average a debt of £15.000 To £20.000 . madness

And if you don’t follow this path you are deemed a failure ?????????????????

Well i’m sorry but at the age of 50 both myself and Mel owe nothing to no one we have no debt and are thus FREE in my daft little world ???

To me to be able to achieve 1 ,2 ,3 or all 4 things is my goal..

But to knock someone that has achieved one or more of these goals is both foolish and selfish

in my world

it is they easiest thing in the world to knock or as me and Mel call it the ping syndrome

ping we will do this

ping we will do that

ping ping ping

enough is enough ;lets stop talking and start doing i say

freedom to all the people of the world

free to love, travel and explore this stunningly beautiful world

don’t let anyone be it a person or a government

stop you going for your goal

love and peace the Dafthermit ….

Freedom can not mean disregarding respect for both the planet or people
