Vernon Wood grid

charcoal with plastic construction grid fencing with a fallen tree with Earth

8/18/16

today's piece with charcoal drawings I've envolved with recently... in Vernon VT, just West of the closed Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant (see below photos)... 

guided to a gravel pit and drew with charcoal with/in the plastic grid barrier fencing wrapped about a felled tree... acting as a marker to a path leading into the woods... after completing the bioenergetic healing drawing I pulled up the map and recognized the upper left, upright, North node, Omega glyph, point of ending/beginning, etc. symbol...

just, a gravel pit abutting the place...

just, with the felled tree...

just, leading into the woods...

just, down the hill from the path... 

just, the closed nuclear power plant...

Be Well with Peace full selves

Vermont Yankee was an electricity generating nuclear power plant, located in the town of Vernon, Vermont, in the northeastern United States. It generated 620 megawatts (MWe) of electricity at full power. The plant was a boiling water reactor (BWR), designed by General Electric. On December 29, 2014, its owner Entergy ceased the plant's operations. The plant had begun commercial operations in 1972 under different ownership. In 2008, the plant provided 71.8% of all electricity generated within Vermont, amounting to 35% of Vermont's electricity consumption. The plant is on the Connecticut River, upstream of the Vernon, Vermont Hydroelectric Dam and used the reservoir pool for its cooling water.

In March 2012 the plant's initial 40-year operating license was scheduled to expire; in March 2011 the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) extended its license for another 20 years. Vermont Yankee's continued operations were complicated by the Vermont state legislature's enactment of a law providing the state legislature authority to determine the continued operation of the plant, in addition to the federal government. Entergy requested a new state certificate of public good (CPG),^[1] but the Vermont legislature voted in February 2010 against renewed permission to operate. In January 2012, Entergy won a court case, invalidating the state's veto power on continued operations.

On August 28, 2013, Entergy announced that due to economic factors Vermont Yankee would cease operations in the fourth quarter of 2014. The plant was shut down at 12:12 pm EST on Dec ember 29, 2014.

Since the 1970s, there have been many anti-nuclear protests about Vermont Yankee, including large protests after the Fukushima nuclear disaster in March 2011 and on the date of the original operating license expiry in March 2012 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermont_Yankee_Nuclear_Power_Plant

"dotswriting"...writing dots writing dots .......writing, journaling with color dots

 

The intention is to expand on “dot(s)writing” with creating journaling expressions of visual experience as a calligraphy form. Expressing what I know and what I don't know. Each/all dot(s) representing a word, phrase, a tome, a momentary expression through time that constructs like alphabet on the written page. Each/all dot(s) is/are infinite in its/their possibilities within and without it/them self. Color, line, form within and without each/all dot wholisticly. The dot and the space around the dot. The all of dot(s)/space(s) together as the story expands with the page(s) of journaling.

purchase many of the pages of "dotswriting" and rearrange them every so often like the word messages chips on your refridgerator, bathtub, city hall, send one or them to friends, secret enemies (7th house) along ley lines, gift them to prisoners, the Prez/girl or guy next door, if you wish buy them all, get one and reverse it, tear it up and use as thumbnails in the same way, or just frame it and enJoy. Get a deck and use them like Tarot/Angel.divination cards, etc. etc.... be imaginative with them, or write your own!
