the mindful canary

I am a symbol of sensitivity in a toxic world. I am a symbol, a way shower that is being ignored. I am sensitive to the incoherency of our collective creation. One name for this is environmental illness. I choose to see myself as a map maker, a beacon for the way back to balance.

Our accumulated toxicity is asserting itself back upon the perpetrators. Some of us are very sensitive to this cause and effect and as a result have manifested environmental illness. We are the collective blinking dashboard light that says there is a problem and that this problem may affect the entire vehicle. We are the pioneers of responsible living because we have connected to the whole and taken its pulse to find an ailing heart. We aim to heal that heart.

I am very much a symbol for humanity to take note and heed from. Sad though, symbols like me are still being ignored and even shunned. My symbol is taboo for many. People are seemingly oblivious to cause and effect in their lives. They are so rooted in consumerism and toxic lifestyles that they fail to connect the dots that have us failing as a species.

Environmental illness is a sign of the times that we have created with our choices. These choices will take us further along a path far beyond what these symbols currently represent, and well into a mass, self inflicted culling, wrought with pain and suffering, beyond imagination.

We become what we think and do. We influence others by these same thoughts and actions and thus our environment forms. Look at our environment to get a sense of how we are doing. We must do better. Masking the blinking light is no answer. Taking responsibility is. Join me in mapping out a new, shared reality, one of balance and coherency, peace and harmony, health and well being and of connectedness and holism.
