Do you believe we're now in a global emergency?

yes

What does climate change mean to you?

Our planet is a living being. Climate change is cyclic but our interference with natural balance has certainly accelerated climate change. We ought to do the most we can as fast as we can individually and as communities to stop the continuing damage. Each individual's effort has huge power.

What does peace mean to you?

Peace is something to feel. It is like water, you must drink it yourself to experience it. We each have a well inside us filled with peace. Awareness of this in every moment possible is beneficial. World peace is nothing less than each person having their own direct experience of that well.

What does community mean to you?

We are all one. Community is a celebration of that oneness. Much can be learnt, shared, accomplished with communities. By helping and supporting one another, we are actually helping ourselves.

What does politics mean to you?

People have lost faith in politics as it seems commercial interests take precedence over humanity, war takes precedence over peace.
The place of politics is to serve the people. This should be its highest ideal.

What does money mean to you?

Essentially it is energy. As a token of exchange, money has material power. It provides more choices. In the right hands it can be of tremendous benefit to many but it also has the power to corrupt and enslave.

What makes you truly happy?

Many things make me happy. My children, family, friends, nature, music, simple moments of reflection and gratitude and so on. Giving and receiving love and blessings makes me truly happy.
