Ecocide

Quo vadis? Have you heard the earth cry? Have you seen the forest bleed? Have you seen the sky weep? Awakened from my slumber I tremble from the nightmare that surrounds me. Is it real what I see? Or am I still dreaming about the tragedy unfolding around me? What can I do? I am just an artist. I have not much influence and worldly powers. Who will hear me when I tell them about my dream? Will my testimony matter? I just don't know. Nevertheless, I must tell what I saw the other night in my restless, fitful and convulsive dream. Even if no one listens. I must still relate my unsettling monstrous news. I fear that as in the past "they" shoot the messenger rather than listening to his report. I pray that that is not the case this time and that my message is acknowledged. We are all "star stuff" connected by our common ancestry and what we do to our Mother Earth we do to ourselves. We cannot escape this reality. The reality that a danger for one is a danger for all. visionary imagist "Joey"

I wish everyone could see your work . I feel so strongly in what you are saying. People wake up and stop destroying the planet

Artist Reply: L.A.: I am glad that you agree with my humble attempts at art. I think we are alike in our beliefs. Looking forward to future sharing of our artworks.

It happened once before that we chose for destruction. Now we can chose again, will we clean our thoughts,words,actions to positive or not? Mother earth is more strong than we people!!! Great you raise your finger through the "beautiful" dream painting!

One cannot tell all but time and time again, who will listen? The wise will listen but is it enough? I will listen, will enough people listen? Another great work of art Joey.! It makes people think when they see art like this!!

Artist Reply: Merle: I sometimes wonder where these images arise from but I know that they must be painted. I am glad that you understand that. Thanks for sharing with me your words and friendship.

Gabrielle Stahlie 09 Sep 2007

Joey, mankind needs people with visions like you have. When only more people will awaken and listen to these visions and sense the coming danger. It is still not to late to handle. That I hope will happen. We must not give up now but we must act together.

Artist Reply: Gabrielle: Indeed, my friend, your words mimic my own. Time is of the essence and it is through cooperation with each other that we will succeed. Thanks!!
