Ions of the Ocean Birds of a Feather
Today upon awakening I heard Sweetie Bird, my parakeet tweet. I turned on the news! Although I do not live by the ocean in Riverside, I am addicted to the ocean as a powerful source of positive energy. The song was in my head all morning. So, I wrote it down as poetry turning it into a song to accompany the video story. This is not about me! It is about creating a time for meditation in this chaotic dystopian world on Earth in the year 2025. I used a lot of my photos and videos as well as my routine animation from my and wild imagination from my dreams. It is not about me! It is about humanity.

The Last Light in Willow Creek
The Last Light in Willow Creek Willow Creek, Ohio — On a gray Thursday morning, the parking lot of the Maple Ironworks plant sat mostly empty for the first time in nearly eight decades. Only a few rusting pickup trucks remained, their owners lingering inside the building to collect belongings or say a final goodbye. A hush hung over the scene — not the noise of machines grinding to a halt, but the silence that comes when something deeper, something communal, ends.
