Happy Birthday

Each day about 375,000 children are born into our world. On August 29, 2009 a most peculiar event took place that will forever change the landscape of human culture for those babies. On that day the idea of Planet Earth 2.0 became a reality as its birth was witnessed and celebrated at an exhibit aptly named "The Birth of Planet Earth 2.0."

Minutes before the celebration was to begin, thousands of miles away, a child was born to the family of one of the early supporters of the Planet Earth 2.0 idea. The two births, I think, carry an enormous message for us.
About 150 people gathered in the salon at Frame Gallery & Gift in Cape Coral, Florida USA to witness and ratify the birth of a cultural choice - an alternative to "business as usual" and "more of the same" called Planet Earth 2.0.

About 357,000 children were delivered that day around the world along with this baby named Elijah Alexandrio into troubled and uncertain times when even hope is a commodity that is hard to afford. But, their futures no longer need to remain just hope and wishes. Instead, these babies are the first group of human beings to be born into a cultural alternative that can be their path to a new world that future generations can sustain and a planet that can sustain future generations.

The critical role of art in the 21st century has come into view. Since the birth of Planet Earth 2.0, nearly a million babies have been born. How marvelous to know that their parents have the opportunity to lead them on to the path of transition to a life in closer concert with the new world.

Happy birthday to all !
