Love & Happiness.. what everyone strives for.
Gouache on black.. listening to Love & Happiness by Al Green. We all want the same things, the basic necessities, food, water shelter, love & happiness. To feel good - some try to obtain this feeling by using other sources available - like alcohol, drugs… addictions. I recommend the book: Brain Bliss to assist in understanding how the brain functions.
I know it sounds Hoaky’ but if you are not happy with yourself, these other items won’t achieve your desires, if anything they might just prolong the problem. I was hopeful to read today psilocybin for mental health, especially for depression becoming mainstream news. Not as harmful as prescribed antidepressants, all natural & no overdose. God’s medicine finally getting the recognition it deserves, although in early civilization it was well received. Gaia has a series titled: Psychedelica -which I highly recommend watching. Fascinating information. Both Cannabis & psilocybin can be used to help us feel better, mentally & physically.
Although there’s still some stigma & fear mongering just as there was with cannabis, before legalized. I’m also THRILLED to read: criminal records for personal drug possession in Canada will be expunged the next few years- AMEN. The war on drugs (war on humans) does appear to be somewhat over & help for mental illness becoming widely available! Good thing with events happening around the world. The Netherlands is in protest currently & it seems insane that the government is trying to prevent farmers from farming’ instead of addressing mega corporations for harm they cause, instead of the individual farmers. They are forcing many into poverty & hunger.
Heatwaves & water issues becoming apparent with each passing month, let alone year around the world.. political issues in the USA -there’s too many to address. I was very dishearten to see kids (even toddlers) ‘patted down’ by police & security - seriously? To enter Canada day celebrations in Ottawa.. wtf Trudeau? Some Canada day memory that will be.
It’s all an opportunity to be aware & thankful for what we do have.
Reading the book of Hope with Jane Goodall has me sometimes thinking - well, it doesn’t sound that hopeful Jane… History, that we have ‘lived’ to date does show us - in the face of extreme adversity, Good does prevail over evil. A few single humans can change the world & I believe there are far more nice humans than nasty. It helps to remember that the nasty are simply fearful & weak minded & often… hopeless.
When many work together to bring awareness to specific situations - change does happen, for the better.
I’m extremely hopeful psilocybin will help many heal & learn to deal with life & all the many lessons & blessings we each have…. Until then remember - love & happiness, sing it out loud!
Be joyful for what we do have, another day to witness all Gods Glory.
Below is a painting I'm pondering, first I did a small version in gouache.
Inspired by a photograph I saw on Instagram. Canadian prairie.
