G8–Our Agenda – “Our World Working For All Of Us”
This gathering could turn out to be the biggest ever, bigger than
Woodstock or the Isle of White both in size and significance – an
ocean of humanity expressing the cry from deep in the heart of our
generation for a better way of running the anthill that is our global
culture – each of us a drop in that ocean
“Each and every drop entering the ocean immediately becomes the ocean”
Why are we demonstrating at the G8?
What is it really all about?
What do we realistically hope to achieve?
What is possible in the realpolitik?
Africa, global warming, third world debt, Iraq etc are only
symptoms, a metaphor for what we are all dissatisfied about..
Africa and the other issues expose the lack of integrity that is
driving and has driven global behavior for thousands of years both in
the macro of global trade and in the micro of our individual
relationships with each other.
When I look in the mirror, I can see all the garbage of this world
operating within me also as I conduct my life in the daily scramble
to survive another day on this spinning lump of rock.
How do I interact with my neighbors and friends? – Global peace
begins right here with me and then spills out radiating throughout
the global culture.
The beauty of these times is that there is no escape from this
reality anymore. Extinction is the only way out. Either we face our
issues individually and globally or our civilisation will cease to
exist.
Live 8 @ the G8 is the heart of the people crying out for something
different, a new way of operating. Each of us is a single blade of
grass cracking the concrete. This has been building for a long time
since the first wave in the sixties — it now comes of age.
It is important that we operate in this situation with the
consciousness of “the journey is the destination”
The issues that we are addressing are ignorance – fear, selfishness,
and the resulting dishonesty. What is important is that we understand
that this is an evolutionary moment; it is in innocence, that the
human race is where it is.
Down from the trees, but not yet walking upright. We are monkeys
barely out of the jungle squeezing this amazing civilisation out of
the rocks.
We must move beyond finger pointing, blame, and demonisation. Move
beyond “protesting against” to “demonstrating FOR”

We must leave the “Them and Us” paradigm back in the second
millennium where it has already created too much havoc. The time has
come for us to move together in partnership for:
“Our
world working for all of us without exception”
In my opinion, this is what we are demonstrating about.
****** If we go to Edinburgh with hatred, negativity and blame in
our hearts and minds, we will be part of the problem, not the
solution.The result will be more of the same if not
worse.********
“”You can take a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink”
BUT ………. You can sprinkle salt in its food.
We must truly “BE THE CHANGE that we want to see in the world” – BE
IT NOW!
Each and every breath – Remember, honey is sweeter and more
attractive than vinegar.
We are Dancing our Dream of a better world Awake into Reality.
Bring CHALK to Edinburgh – express yourselves for all to see. Bring
extra CHALK to share with others:
