From Mary Pembleton on Facebook: "Loving this fellow local human's work!! This is a little taste of this incredible piece.
"We humans are engaged in warfare, genocide, environmental destruction, resource depletion, hoarding of wealth by a few, hatred, bias, fear, embodying confusions of every sort. How weird is that? We could just as easily be creating a paradise of generosity, kindness, understanding, celebration, sharing, mutual support and grand artistic creation. What would it take to do that?
"Remember that the current US federal administration is not about one person. It is an alliance of billionaires, religious fundamentalists, racists, misogynists, and nationalists. It is a reality TV show based on unreality, confusion, greed, pride, and hatred. May our fellow citizens awaken to empathy, understanding, and compassionate action. May it be so."
