today is the anniversary of the september 11th tragedy. i am in florida (not portland like my schedule says) to surprise karen guido for her birthday. her husband made the arrangements and they picked me up at the airport last night and she was surprised. i think she is still surprised.
we stayed up til 3:30 in the morning talking, howling...
today we did a variety of things ~ the most important of which was vandalizing st. augustine beach. karen and i installed peace graffiti along the beach walk where surfers and strollers alike can enjoy it and meditate on it. we also placed graffiti on the bandstand, a great old and romantic structure in semi disrepair.
the army corps of engineers screwed up the placement of a jetty fifty miles north of st. augustine resulting in the quick erosion of st. augustine's beach, the area now closed because of dangerous high tides crashing on the beach wall rocks.
surfers access the dangerous waters from either end of st. augustine but the middle of the lost beach holds only a view for everyone else. peace graffiti is thus perfectly placed ~ natural grace and beauty made unattainable by military unintelligence, the structure of humanity eroding from human idiocy.
we had a lovely dinner with karen's parents then came home and talked about art late into the evening. we did not light candles on the street nor show our posters to the traffic but instead waged peace with peppermint tea ~ thus our work to save the world continues.
to print free peace posters, order peace t-shirts, or buy my book about peace graffiti ~ go to royanthonyshabla.com http://royanthonyshabla.com/ . (i was wearing a "one for all" peace shirt today and recieved wonderful comments.)
there are documentary photos on the posters page of royanthonyshabla.com. the pictures of today's vandalism will be posted soon.
what have you done today to save the world?
