If you enjoy reading my art then please write a review to support the artist. If you donate then you are helping to bring an alternative social system into reality. We can lift each other from the mundane world of wage slavery onto a higher plane where the personal art of each person is valued. The world can be changed if we change it. Words are powerful because they enable us to create and share ideas which take on form and become reality. With very little effort, just a raising of consciousness we could change the world in which we live, change begins with perception, followed by interaction and a different reaction to the existing paradigm. But most of all change requires that more people recognise the oppressive nature of the system in which we live and choose to opt out.The purpose of my writing is to raise awareness of our complicity in maintaining a social system which supports a minority elite, trashes the environment and oppresses the majority. I opted out in 2003 and live a simplistic low tech life. My Degree in Peace Studies from the acclaimed Peace Department at the University of Bradford, UK brought about the necessary awareness to realise the actions I needed to take. I have now found a way to live which creates time and reduces my personal impact on other people and the environment too. I choose to live in small, semi- self sufficient dwellings. I adopted the term "Gypsea" to describe my personal life style choice, which has been based on boats and around the sea since 2003. Nomadism is a low impact way of living; moving allows the environment time to recover and nomads are inherently non-materialistic.The name "wildhope" under which I publish my books, refers to the potential for survival offered to us by the wilderness. It is only in a state of harmony with nature that humankind has a future.weniger sehen
