"climate change" is blaming something out of our control... whether it is man/woman made or a natural cycle of nature is debatable... what is not debatable is that we have polluted/toxified and plundered our Water, Air, Fire and Earth... we can control that by changing our behavior with Love and respect for the Elements; Earth, Air, Water, Fire & Ether that align with life... be responsible please...

the lines, colors and forms oscillate with intermittent rains and temperatures as they incorporate with the Elements... the sameness with grey overcast days with showers steadies the oscillation with subtle tonality...

when I look at reducing all of this chaos I see the common denominator as what we as humans have done to the planet... positive thinking places, "conveniently", all our "problems" in the trash including other humans with war, personal challenging personal relationships, and within ourselves...  plastics with industry to plastic people, Hollywood to news programing... now the hot potato is in each of our laps and with no where to toss it... it's in our face and we each are trying to escape, blaming each other, ourselves, the court systems and prisons, probations are not vacant... 

acknowledge our "negativity" and our "positivity" with balance and gratitude

Love & Peace with CoCreativity
