Thank you. There are some lovely works and even when they are confronting they are good for the soul.

The sky in the second photo is amazing- rainbow, too! Wanted to mention that Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute has a number of programs for artists and all types of storytellers to discuss environmental issues through film and other artistic mediums.

Thanks Joan. I love that photo. I'll check out the Sundance Institute, I'm always looking for new perspectives on environmental issues.

Thank you for "Our Ancestors Speak" struck me what a powerful post for the theme of Matariki - it was truly stunning and very powerful.

Oh wow. I did not expect to be moved to tears by the last video, Pacific Voices. I'm still crying now. Thank you so much for sharing these...
