Mod 3.1: Narrating Personal Interest

Personal narrative why I am interested in the topic 
Soul Surfing - The Green Wave

My blog The Green Wave - A 'Global Village' of Soul Surfers combines many of my life experiences, dreams and ideas into a media form that is expressive and creative, accessible to outsiders and allows participation and collaboration. Essentially it defines and articulates who I am, while developing a more coherent version and vision of the past, the present, and what will be the future.

I find solace, an inner peace through interconnecting aspects of myself that are seemingly unrelated, like technology and environment, surfing waves and surfing the net, confinement in study and freedom of adventure. All are part and parcel of me, pieces of the picture that define my life, that encompass my imagination and joy, my daily experience. Sometimes life moments  seem contradicting, they overwhelm and miss-guide my direction and experiences, so it helps immensely to blog about my thoughts, my research and insights, and in this way I can regain clarity. With clarity I see the rainbows of my dreams, I can make sense of the journey ahead, the compromises that are required to get there today that will fold into memories of experiences that make me tomorrow.



Adventure and exploration are avenues to feel and understand the edge of existence, the reality of life and death.  Too many people live lives that are mediocre, repetitive and mundane, they have lost their inspiration to create and experience freedom and joy, to interact with the wild world, the raw untamed spirit of consciousness. Brain rot from TV and Mass-Media is epidemic, second only to health problems that consume almost all humans with dis-ease, a slow death towards a life unlived, devoid of abundance, peace, love and wisdom.

Through my blog I share passageways, stories and truth that will illuminate in some the spirit of life and adventure that does not compromise ecological concern. We are ecological beings after all, conscious beings that have lost our way. It is my hope to share our plight as a 'Global Village', and sprinkle it with solutions and opportunities, visions of past and future that remind us we live in a beautiful world that demands respect and care.


 
There are few more important things than uniting humanity towards biodiversity, towards global peace and one love. I hope to contribute towards this vision through my blog.
