Jason Mraz

is a fucking genius. And a kindred spirit. Just a quick excerpt from his latest blog...

"Recently I was turned onto the work of the 13 indigenous Grandmothers; An action team of women from the four corners of the globe who have formed an alliance to bring balance to Mother Earth and all her inhabitants for the next seven generations to come. To do work intended for seven generations is a remarkably selfless act indeed. Imagine making something that you know is meant for someone 200 years from now. It’s like planting a tree. In your lifetime you may not be able to swing from it’s branches, but long after you’re gone, many families will.

The same thought can be applied to consciousness. Are you choosing to think it’s too late to save the planet because you’re not seeing immediate results? Are you personally choosing not to change your diet and bad habits because you think it will make this week suck? Well, think of that distant you in the future who will look back and hug you for the powerful shift in consciousness you decided to make right now.

For the planet and its inhabitants who are still evolving, we may not SEE a world of enlightened beings who coexist with nature, but we can certainly SEED it."

So true. This really give me the strength to persevere. Even though people refuse to recycle, look into new energy sources or are apathetic towards starvation and war, doesn't mean they always will. We just have to keep pushing, trying to open eyes, minds and hearts.

Here's the blog for more kick-ass wisdom. Ahhhhhhhhh I love him.
