The driving force behind the work at "AQ" is the freedom to be.
Lady Louise 1111 - Aug 03/2009
Every single life form, from the smallest nano-something to infinity has the right to life -- no matter the strangeness. For example; I had an encounter this morning with a tiny "scor-der" or "spid-ian"(?). The minute bug, was on the far wall in my shower.
I was washing my hair and saw a speck on the wall rotate -- hmmm... wierd. I leaned in for a closer look. It was turning counter clockwise, stopped when I got closer and just hung out. No big deal. It was almost too small to see, but had long front arms with pinchers on the end...
Scorpions are rare in our neck of the prairies...some poisonous creatures live in the southern grasslands and coulees, like the rattlesnake or black widow. Did this little thing hitch a ride back from Writing on Stone a few weeks ago? I kept my distance in case.
"Shower Scor-Dian?" - Oct 11/2009
What IS my purpose?
David Wilcock offers a product to help people ascertain this very thing. His site is a goldmine for seekers. Check it out here:
As my purpose clarifies, I reassess regularly. I find ways to incorporate love and beauty with a call to action. Do I have courage and energy for all that needs to be done? Are the ideas aligned with the necessary skills? Which is the hill I'm going to live on?
Is this how Barack Obama feels? I wonder how he's doing? His recent Nobel nod was an interesting move. In my opinion, changes we all hope for must be acted on individually. Obama represents change, but can not be expected to do the work on his own. I hope he doesn't feel alone.
Obama's humble Nobel response was succinct and real -- children are grounding and help us maintain perspective:
Is it possible to define a defining moment in the now? Is this how William Wilberforce felt? His work with slave abolitionists, was one of the first grassroots human rights movements. Did he know he would change the worldview? I believe so.
Did he really have a theme song? One of my favorite get -off-the-couch-and-do-something movies is "Amazing Grace"...it is also the tune I use to sing the Oonahnahmae Uni-Verse poem. You can read our poem here:

What happens when a purpose fills you, guides you to unlikely places and there is no How-To handbook? Maria sang it best..."I have Confidence in Confidence alone..."
Sometimes, when I wish I'd created a more status quo life, I sing "How do you solve a problem like Rebecca?" I laugh my way out of thinking I'm a martyr...uncover more bad "habits" I can shed, then clear the way to "Climb Every Mountain"!
Attitude of Gratitude:
Today is the mother of all Grat days (in Canada). I am thank-full, for everything..."Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens..."
Fall Foliage - Oct 2008
I have a great family, a cozy home, 5 minute commute, equipment to build my craft... and high-speed access to the world-wide-web...Good ole' WWW -- what would life be like without it? It informs and entertains, educates and enlightens.
Death of a Species?:
"Every scor-der dies, not every scor-der truly lives..." Did that critter live to its fullest? It impacted me. I don't know what else it did...Perhaps the first in a species? Did it manage to reproduce...? Who knows?
On Righting Humanity:
Like the premise in Braveheart, I am most grateful for Freedom. Freedom of mind, body and spirit. It is what I live for -- and then to use what I am to pay it forward...
"Barbie Cone" - Charlottetown, P.E.I. - July 2009
If we don't acheive these rights and freedoms in our lives and homes, is it any wonder society has work to do? With so many spouses/parents controlling each other and/or their children, is it any wonder we stagnate as a populace?
The Oonahnahmae Pro-Ject:
Further to the UN Human Rights mentioned above, Aquarian Creations supports those of children as well (due to some specific needs). Adults can choose their lives, despite poor decision making. Children can not.
Any use of other life forms to gain power, indicates primitive society (to me). Any "Developed" nations who bargain shop here, while children work in factories (rather than in school), have inner work to do.
And we all know factories are only the beginning of our response-ability to children...
While concern for others is noble, it becomes a cover-up. A way to keep our selves busy. We must clean up personal viewpoints, our family activities, community belief systems...go up and out from there. Like they say...point one finger out, three are back at you.
Economics are a challenge. An empowering place to begin, is by considering whether or not your current employment is value-adding work?
If it isn't, how do you change your job to make it so? Leaving a company or town isn't the answer. We can stop passing the buck as of now. Current positions can be changed via intent, immediately.
What would the world be like:
If one generation was able to grow up nurtured and nourished, educated and free-thinking?
If one generation was able to walk upon an illuminated path, with only their shadow selves to balance...?
Beautiful!

Are you doing all you can in your community to increase the standard of living for your children. It takes a village...
