The Power of the Internet

I was just recently looking at my stats, and it seems that I have been visited by over 70 countries. Sure, many of my visitors might not have enjoyed my posts, or spent a lot of time here, but the fact remains that I more or less have reached countries all over the globe. This is what really inspired me to write this post. We each hold in our hands the power to immediately broadcast to the entire world. This is a first ever in history. This also means that for the first time ever, our parents have less experience in a field than their children. Think about it, in every specie on Earth, the parents would’ve experienced everything their children is experiencing… expect for the human race in the 21st century. This relatively new ability that we have gained is really miraculous. It’s a miracle. You are reading something that is immaterial. You can’t hold this in your hands, this is made of almost nothing. You can read this from anywhere on the globe, or even in space aboard the ISS. This blog is a miracle.

Speaking of miracles, I am a miracle. You are a miracle. So many things needed to go right in the right order for us to physically exist. In fact, this world is a huge miracle, The very fact that we are able to exist, to have the necessities to live, to build a civilization, to have this piece of technology that you are using to read this, is a miracle. A lot have changed in the past year for me personally, but I think the most important thing I learned is to live. To live this miracle, no matter how things are, no matter what is wrong, or what is right.

LIVE!

So get out there, and do what you have to do, and live. Enjoy as much of this miracle as you can. Make it count. Make this gift count. And help other people live too. Anything, from small to big. I can say from experience, that a gesture, no matter how small, counts. Live, and help those around you live. I think that is the most important thing… ever.

Green

I logged onto my blog today staring at my tagline. My Life, My Story, and thought: Why don’t I write something about myself. And after much consideration, here is my poem about my favourite colour: GREEN

.

GREEN

As soft as grass, and as crunchy as the Granny Smith

Swaying in the breeze on Hawaii’s shore

Bright when young, and dark when old, on the leaves of the Bracken Fern

.

Found at Christmas amidst the snow

Hanging on houses street on street

Up high and down low lighting the night

Like a spirit glowing bright

.

On the bottle beside the BBQ

Fuelling hot summer nights

Telling people to go, and drive away

Controlling traffic on busy streets

.

Kermit the Frog may also be green

But most of all its to signify

That we care

We care about the environment

We care about the air we breathe

We care about the water we drink

We care about the food we eat

We care about OUR future

.

Staying on the topic of caring for the future, I saw a quote on the back of a SUV that I later found out was from Hendrix:

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace” – J. Hendrix

The world will not only see peace, but everything else we try to stop and create will be within reach. There won’t be as much gangs, crime, wars, etc. There will be friendships between former enemies, and the world will have more tolerance, to just name a few benefits.
