Are we Troubled by the Situations in the World? You bet! So, all we can do is take action, for inaction is still an action...Act lest ye lose the word of action ~Shakespeare. Our individual conscious, compassionate actions are as unique and transformational as anyone else's may be.
Even the smallest act may make a difference. Stick a plant in a pot. Place it by your bed. You will be given the gift of more oxygen as the plant releases oxygen. With that oxygen you will have a better sleep, more clear air for your brain; and then you may get more clarity.....plant a kitchen garden on a windowsill or porch in a baking tray or pots. Plant some healthy herbs spices for life, mint to sooth your mentally disturbed or wrong diet affected stomach....sooon you will see life springing before you. Learn to grow bean sprouts in a mason jar....eat them... get very pure energy...your life is changing....these are simple healthy steps....write a poem or sketch your pet plant or mini-garden. Print the poem neatly or set it in a nice type face in your computer word processor....give a copy to a friend...and share your experience, and simple joy. If you make a picture, make copies and paint them in and give them as gifts. transform it in photo shop. Whatever, start with a seed or keiki (Hawaiian for baby or cutting). create a good foundation soil, water, care for your pet plants and you will be caring for your self, your home, family, community & the world....all from a simple seed of thought and action.

You have unexplored potential. Each of us is unique. We shall never die happily unless we discover our specialness. Unless we share our own fingerprint of creative life force, we will never really find joy beyond happy cow nature, or attachment to negative aspects in our lives. Live! Find joy in small things like a pet plant growing. Express your experience daily, in home life, love, school, business. Creativity, freedom to celebrate life, are unalienable birth rights of everyone, not just artists. Take back your youthful excitement, take on new challenges and risks, live more fully to your potential; do not let others put you down, -that comes from their own insecurity because they deny themselves their own better, higher selves, -they attempt to steal power from you by chastising, and insulting you, to empower their own weak selves, for they see freedom and self expression in you. Be who you may be. Let no-one deny your happiness or joy, or your specialness.

Internationally Exhibited Hawaii Artist Cancels 'Goodwill Tour' to China

Posted May 5th, 2008 by Mahina ~ Pacifica News Service, Hawaii~

With the ever growing international discontent over China's Human Rights Violations of Tibetans, Ughers, Chi Gung practitioners, and other minorities, Hawaii Artist Aelbert Aehegma has announced the cancellation of his non-political, 'Goodwill Tour' to China as the wave of worldwide protests continue to haunt the upcoming Olympics. The Artist calls for a Boycott of the Olympics, Boycott of travel to China and other countries that suppress freedom and human rights, and personal limiting of purchase of goods and services from repressive regimes worldwide. Mr. Aehegma states that the Chinese Government interfered with the 'Goodwill Tour,' by completely limiting communication with his sponsor, a Chinese doctor he met as Artist-in-Residence at the Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii.

The Artist's Cultural Tour was to include outdoor mural paintings of famous Chinese landscapes, meetings with artists, dignitaries, and children, video documentation, and a special series of Olympic sports paintings; along with the cancellation, the Artist will not be donating a proposed mural to the Beijing Museum. His works have been exhibited in over a dozen countries. As well, 'Our Renaissance: The Next Enlightenment,' was chosen to be sent aboard the space shuttle to the MIR Space Station for 'Ars Ad Astra', the 'First Art Show in Space' as an international, goodwill venture. President George W. Bush owns the First Artist Proof of a Commemorative 9-11 Giclee Art Print entitled 'Enduring Freedom,' by Mr. Aehegma which features the masonic symbols of America and depicts Miss Liberty riding on an American Bald Eagle.

Although Mr. Aehegma's post-impressionist landscapes are greatly influenced by Chinese landscape painting, he states, ' Celebrating the qualities of a nation's past culture and its golden ages is all well and good; however, good world citizens should not just be just cultural consumers. Continuing, he states, that, "modern, worldwide media challenges us to be more humane, and compassionate for the whole human family. One by one we must rally against repressive regimes that crush 'Freedom', and continue human rights violations not only in China but across the globe." Finally he feels that sustainable international programs must be urgently implemented, family to family, community to community in environmentally and humane balance to put off rapidly increasing, catastrophic human suffering."
