Another vigil tomorrow, Jan 4, 2013, 11:45 am, at the closed door of the Enbridge hearings in Victoria plus a video from the anniversary vigil


Tomorrow the Enbridge Review Panel convenes in Victoria. The hearings are closed to the public.

The proposed pipelines (and tanker traffic) are a perfect example of the willful disregard of industrialization's agents to the vulnerability of earth and humans. 

Paradoxically, we are all both agents of industrialization and earthlings in trouble. We are, as Velcrow Ripper says, the 100%.

Choosing vulnerability, the ethos of the Human Body Project, is not only about showing up in non-violent protest but also about being the change. Only by choosing vulnerability and experientially dealing with vulnerability in our beings and bodies will our brains figure it out. 

This second vigil of January 2013 is about us standing in solidarity with the people of the BC coast and, by extension, all humans; to say NO to more pipelines and tankers; to acknowledge the difficult paradoxes of living in modernity.

Yes, I am protesting my own way of life because we haven't created the way to look after each other yet. Let's do it! Choose vulnerability!


Tomorrow's vigil is

We're all in this together. And one thing we for sure don't need is more pipelines and more tanker traffic. 

Here's a CHEK-TV news piece about the January 1 first anniversary vigil... in the theme of wacky naked lady/nice cop.

Some "Minutes" from the December Human Body Project Workshops

Is it a sense
of duty
Is it a sense
of obligation
Is it a sense
of caring
Is it the appropriate place
to be
Yes to all of the above
Vulnerability is important
Vitally important
to the survival
of her creation

Doff it
Only if it
is
sooo hot
that
I'm
uncomfortable
she turned 
up the heat
and I began
to sweat

she wants to
tease out
the shame
in her
despair

divorce

out of control
psychopathy
20% are awake
transnational murder
escalates
community kitchens
respond
peace on earth
goodwill to all
happy holy days ya all

one of the problems is people actually believe they are stimulus-response creatures when in fact we are something other than Pavlov's dog

one of the problems is one person's fucked-up is another's paradise

-------

you always look so depressed

Christmas is a family time

You don't know you're beautiful

I am a holy person
