Dear Amparo, feeling the energies through these photos...holding the vision and focus for global breakthroughs of peaceful transformation in 2020.
You've reminded me of a photo I took while walking and anchoring light during a climate protest a few months ago. During a mass sit-down, a woman next to me calmly fed her baby while the crowd went into a minute's silence for the planet. All that could be heard was the wind whistling between skyscrapers, and the soft sounds of this baby....preciousness of life so poignant and deeply present, every moment, if only humanity pauses and breathes it in....
Happy New Year to you SiStar...& all life on Earth <3
