Dance like a girl: B-Girl Terra
I don't post about cute cats. But dance videos? Yes. I get goosebumps when I see videos like these. The best ones always are of children with boundless energy of children. I couldn't help notice her little shoelaces came undone before the camera cut to her putting on her elbow guards and hat :)
Today at Secret Sunrise, I jumped around with a 6 year old, and she didn't stop dancings. She wasn't not tired. No heavy breathing, fatigue, or feeling like it's time to stop. Me on the other hand was wondering hwo long I could keep up with her. I had to stop. She kept on going.
I noticed the same from B Girl Terra. No deep breathing, just a pure clear vessel of movement, focus, agility and skill. She doesn't stop.
Can't wait to see what more she shares with the world.

Father's Day, Your Self, Ego and Jim Carrey's speech
Jai Guru Dev
Jim Carrey speaks truthfully to graduates of Maharashi University of Management in 2014 about fear and the act of love in all things we do, from about 10 mins of the video.
But in respect for Father's Day, his speech points out how lessons we learn sometimes come directly from our families and those close to us.
He explains from minute - 11:19-11:52
"You can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love."
-Jim Carrey, comedian

Have a look!

Our Socially Constructed Jungle - Poem by Athena Lamberis
Socially Constructed Jungle
by Athena Lamberis
Over the seas
Far away
In the neck
Of the jungle
Trees cast shadows on our eyes
Until we wake up
We won't realise
We grew this jungle deep
and under these trees
I weep.
Don't deny that the trees grew
but were planted by you.
Don't forget that the sun is above.
We all belong
All belong to the roots.
We are the children of the bark.
Awaken to truths
before
before
we create clouds
to covers the skies
to covers the skies
Under these trees
Under these trees
I weep
Under these trees
We weep.
****
****
Let's consider and understand
this socially constructed jungle
we live in will suffocate us all
if we don't recognise the harm
it has caused by the seeds
from which it was planted.
Dedicated to lives lost
families in pain
Our global community mourns
A plea for
Truth and Reconciliation
For hate crimes across
the Globe.
***
"The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil,
but by those who watch them without doing anything"
-Albert Einstein

Social Media is an amazing tool however when the word 'media' gets replaced with "real life experiment, see what happens when the LED screen is no longer between you and the people you are connected with.
Check out this clever improv video of the delightfully cheeky Jena Kingsley.

Public art meets crowd-funding for social change #ANOTHERLIGHTUP in Cape Town, South Africa
On De Waal Drive, driving out of the city bowl in Cape Town, South Africa, you have the view of the Cape peninsula's valley also known to many people as The Flats. The Flats extends all the way to areas like Monwabisi, a sub-area of Khayelitsha, one of Cape Town's most populated districts.
On that same drive, you can see the new Urban Visionary, a multi-storey mural and light installation created by the founders of Thingking and artist Faith47. They collaborated on the new design and have enabled public street art to be a catalyst for change through crowdfunding for a social cause. They aim to raise funds for public street lights to be installed in Monwabisi Park, Khayelitsha, through the organisation VPUU (Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading). For every light that is funded for in Monwabisi, the Urban Visionary mural is lit up in the evening- inspiring and engaging more people to become more active members in their society through #anotherlightup
To read more about it here and to donate to #anotherlightup:
