The road towards conservation

How would you treat the earth? If you could live forever?
Would you make the same decisions that you make today?
Would you be the change? or close your eyes?
When do you choose to see?

Velkommen til foredrag: PÅ SPORET AV DET ENKLE LIV& VEIEN TIL SEG SELV,

 på Litteraturhuset i Oslo den 16 Oktober kl 19.00

Tracking is like dancing, my body feels happy and connected.- San People 

 I verden i dag lever vi hele verdens historien på en gang.

Alle aldere lever side om side, og vi er ekstremt privilegerte som har denne muligheten til å leve alt til en og samme tid. 

Vi kommer fra en verden der det handler om å eie, konkurrere, og bli den beste. Men hvem er vi egentlig når alt det blir tatt fra oss? Når maskene av rollefigurene vi spiller i forskjellige settinger blir beslaglagt.? Hvem er vi da?

Den ene verden eksisterer ikke uten den andre, de må integreres og sammen skape et sentrum av forståelse og gjensidighet. En termitt er vel så viktig som en elefant. En San stamme er like dyrebar som et olje samfunn. Alle spiller en viktig rolle i dagens økologi, men roller blir ubetydelige hvis vi ikke skaper en helhet. Denne helheten er frihet.

Vi skal sammen finne frem til oss selv, og den vi egentlig er ved å følge sporene som er tegnet I sanden. De afrikanske dyrene, sporene og trærne kan lære oss om hvor vi kommer fra, og at vi som Ghandi uttalte kan være den forandringen vi ønsker å se i verden. 

Vi skal i foredraget utforske naturens verden, lese sporene og vegetasjonen som vårt crime scene, der vi er de heldige detektivene.

Let's go Tracking!

The Baby Architect

When we are young and small

we think we know nothing at all

We act without confusion

We have no clear line between what is real or 

illusion

We think it is our surroundings that is the guide

that shape us

& decide

We have no perception

we know nothing of deception

We act with out confusion

we know what we want

what we like and hate

what tastes good or bad

there is no wrong

there is no right

we smile when we are free

and cry when we are sad

As kids we are the unofficial architects 

of our own life

it is the I in individual that exists

not somebodies child, husband or wife.

When we grow up we think this all disappears 

but we are wrong

we might not be childlike and light as a feather

but we are still architects

of our own 

life and weather.

Jurassic rocks

I'm pretty sure that the Saturday night fever movie got their inspiration from crocodiles when they choose the song STAYIN' ALIVE. 
The crocodile’s ancestry dates back 200 million years, the crocodile, as we know it today, first evolved about 80 million years ago. According to the fossil record, their body plan has changed little since, enabling them to outlive the dinosaurs and become the most advanced of all reptiles and the most successful freshwater predator. One of the keys to the crocs survival is something one might think of as primitive: cold-bloodedness. Like all reptiles, crocs are ectotherms, which means they must gather heat from their environment. Crocodiles have developed behaviors to control their body thermostat: they bask in the sun when cool and seek shade or water when hot. Ectotherms like crocs don’t need to eat regularly to warm their bodies, and so they save an enormous amount of energy that can be put to other use or stored for later.
Amazing right? Maybe we should all think about this, next time we consider buying a croc skin handbag! And then buy a fake croc skin bag instead;)

Black & White

Black or white
Good or Bad
I wonder sometimes. What if we only had the possibility to see in black and white? What if we saw no color? Would we then be so obsessed with defining and separating the one from the other, or would we start seeing everything as a whole? Would we then become either or? or would we become everything and see everything as a part of ourselves.
Lions cannot percieve any color. The eyes are proportionally larger than in comparable-sized animals and have round pupils.
A reflective coating at the back of the eye reflects even moonlight, making their eyes appear to glow red in the dark. The coating gives lions sight eight times better than a human at night. A white circle below the eye helps reflect light into the eyes.
Lions have round pupils instead of vertical slits, as are found in domestic cats. The vertical slits make an animal better able to focus sharply on small prey for example. They do not see color but maybe they see things a bit clearer then us after all?
