Vision 2030

An ancient prophecy says:
‘Nations will not learn war any more’
“Now nations and peoples can learn this rhyme and practise
Permaculture, and help grow herbs and veggies, nuts and
fruits, using home-made compost on the roots!
Plant food-forests, clean the air, save old forests everywhere!
Peoples of the world unite! Feed the hungry, make it right.
Lay down weapons, live in peace, let the global conflicts cease.
A love-filled world is what we need. We can all help
sow the seeds. Get the feeling, join the movement,
EARTH REPAIR FOR WORLD IMPROVEMENT!”

In the depths of poetic verses, the poem “Vision 2030” unveils a world brimming with promise, a world where nations shun war and embrace a sustainable, peaceful existence. Penned with an optimistic pen, this heartfelt verse captures the essence of a global movement towards permaculture, composting, and Earth repair. Through these sustainable practices, the poem fosters a vision of a bountiful, harmonious future that beckons humanity to come together and create positive change.

Permaculture: Cultivating Abundance through Harmony

At the core of “Vision 2030” lies the concept of permaculture. This holistic approach to agriculture integrates ecological principles, sustainable design, and conscious cultivation. The poem invites nations and peoples to embrace permaculture, recognizing its potential to revolutionize our relationship with the Earth.

Permaculture allows us to nurture the soil and grow herbs, veggies, nuts, and fruits in harmony with nature’s rhythms. By cultivating food forests and adopting regenerative practices, we can restore the Earth’s vitality and create thriving ecosystems that sustain life for generations to come. As we embark on this journey of self-sufficiency and abundance, permaculture becomes a beacon of hope, guiding us towards a sustainable future.

Composting: Feeding the Earth’s Soul

Embedded within the poem’s verses is the vital practice of composting. It highlights the significance of transforming organic waste into nutrient-rich compost, a natural fertilizer that replenishes the Earth’s soil. Through home-made compost, we replenish the very essence of life, nourishing the roots of our plants and fostering healthy growth.

Composting is a simple act with profound implications. By diverting organic waste from landfills, we reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate environmental pollution. The poem’s call to use compost on the roots echoes a powerful message of sustainability and mindful stewardship. As we embrace composting, we take responsibility for our waste and contribute to the Earth’s rejuvenation, one organic matter at a time.

Earth Repair: Healing the Planet

A central theme in “Vision 2030” is the concept of Earth repair. The poem resonates with the urgent need to mend the wounds inflicted upon our planet. It implores nations and individuals to rise above conflict and unite in the pursuit of healing and restoration.

Earth repair encompasses a multifaceted approach, addressing environmental degradation and the preservation of natural habitats. By nurturing food forests, we not only provide sustenance but also cleanse the air and protect the biodiversity that dwells within old forests. This repair work is a testament to our collective commitment to reversing the damage inflicted on the Earth.

A Call to Unity and Action

“Vision 2030” paints a vibrant picture of a love-filled world born out of unity and shared purpose. The poem’s resonating message is clear: it is up to each one of us to sow the seeds of positive change. It beckons us to join a global movement of individuals, communities, and nations, all working together towards a sustainable future.

The poem’s optimism is contagious, encouraging us to set aside our differences and embrace a shared vision. It reminds us that in the face of hunger, conflict, and environmental crises, our collective efforts can make a difference. By feeding the hungry, making peace, and laying down weapons, we contribute to the transformation of our world.

Conclusion

In the realm of “Vision 2030,” hope blooms like flowers in a lush garden. It carries the essence of permaculture, composting, and Earth repair, igniting a spark within us to make sustainable choices and mend the scars of our planet. This poem is not merely a collection of words but a rallying cry, inviting us to step into a future where nations coexist peacefully, where our landscapes thrive with abundance, and where the Earth is restored to its former glory.

As we reflect on the profound themes within “Vision 2030,” let us remember that poetry has the power to inspire action. Let us heed its call to embrace permaculture, composting, and Earth repair, for it is in these transformative practices that we find the path to a sustainable and harmonious future.

Together, let us weave a tapestry of change, one that nourishes our souls, mends the Earth’s wounds, and paves the way for a brighter tomorrow. The seeds of transformation are within us, waiting to be sown. Will we answer the call?

New Sydney Love City Poster

Welcome to New Sydney Love City, a time capsule that takes you back to 1969 when Kings Cross, Sydney, was the epitome of bohemian culture and counterculture lifestyles. Join us as we delve into the unique aspects of the Kings Cross lifestyle during this era, from vibrant nightlife to artistic expression and a sense of community.

Bohemian Culture: In the heart of New Sydney Love City, bohemian culture thrived. Artists, performers, and intellectuals flocked to Kings Cross, embracing its creative energy. The neighborhood was teeming with art galleries, theaters, and music venues, providing a platform for artistic expression and exploration. Kings Cross became a sanctuary where unconventional minds could flourish.

Nightlife and Entertainment: As the sun set over New Sydney Love City, the streets of Kings Cross transformed into a nocturnal playground. Its vibrant nightlife scene beckoned those in search of excitement and entertainment. Clubs, bars, and cabarets set the stage for electrifying live music performances, soulful jazz sessions, and captivating burlesque shows. Les Girls, a renowned drag cabaret, and The El Rocco Jazz Cellar, with its local and international jazz musicians, stood as testament to the thriving bohemian scene.

Coffee Houses and Cafés: The bohemian lifestyle in New Sydney Love City revolved around coffee houses and cafés. These establishments became meeting grounds for artists, writers, and intellectuals, nurturing discussions and fostering creative collaborations. Within their cozy walls, ideas flowed freely, and inspiration flourished over cups of coffee. These havens of bohemian ambiance and camaraderie formed an integral part of the Kings Cross experience.

Social Activism: New Sydney Love City, like the entire 1960s era, was marked by social and political activism. Kings Cross emerged as a hub for countercultural ideas, protests, and demonstrations. Activists congregated in public spaces, raising their voices for civil rights, women’s rights, and against the Vietnam War. In Kings Cross, dissent found a platform, attracting individuals who challenged the norms and sought to make a difference.

Diverse Community: New Sydney Love City drew people from diverse backgrounds and walks of life. Artists, students, immigrants, and those yearning for unconventional lifestyles found solace in Kings Cross. The neighborhood exuded a sense of community and acceptance, embracing individuals who felt like outsiders elsewhere. This cultural diversity enriched the bohemian lifestyle, injecting it with vibrancy and dynamism.

Street performers, buskers, poets, and fortune tellers adorned the sidewalks, adding to the neighborhood’s unique allure. Colorful characters roamed the streets, contributing to the tapestry of Kings Cross’s bohemian lifestyle. The streets themselves became a constant source of inspiration and surprise, embodying the spirit of individuality and self-expression that defined the era.

Red-Light District: During the 1960s, New Sydney Love City was known as a red-light district.

Mind-Vitamin Thought-Seeds as Street Art

Mind-Vitamin Thought-Seeds brighten dull spots with continuously radiating inspiration.

These could be adopted by towns and cities everywhere in any language and with potential to become a unique Blue Mountains export industry.

Download 56 Mind-Vitamins

The action was implemented as part of ‘Art Street’ just prior to the 2013 Blue Mountains Winter Magic Festival in Katoomba. The goal was to brighten dull-spots and appropriate empty spaces around the town, with colourful laminated placards of meaningful wise quotes.

The quotes were selected from community submissions and from sages through the ages. They are brief reminders of self-evident truths, practical knowledge and useful wisdom; clear, simple and easy for most people to understand. The quest is to share a wealth of universal wisdom to inspire beneficial outcomes for the many local people and tourists who visit this spectacular Blue Mountains City of Katoomba.

The purpose of Mind-Vitamin quotes is to help uplift moods, enhance optimism, increase positive mental health, eliminate anxiety, depression and pessimistic thinking, and help enable feelings of greater peace and happiness.

Places where Mind-Vitamin Thought-Seeds would be usefully displayed are on: public walls; railway stations; homes; schools; hospitals, factories, and community, youth, aged care and neighbourhood centres. If used in juvenile and refugee detention centres and adult correctional facilities, they would probably have a lasting beneficial impact on everyone who absorbs them.

The Mind Vitamin placards are artistically presented and laser printed on size A3 card, laminated and cleverly affixed up high and out of reach but still easily visible to passers by. They are simple and inexpensive to produce and put up. They are also easy to remove and/or replace by affixing the new art over the old. They radiate thought-provoking inspiration 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

A goal is for the Blue Mountains to set a precedent and motivate other towns and cities to emulate the example of this action. Translated into each language, Mind Vitamins could be brightening dull spots in cities and towns throughout the world.

Mind-Vitamin Thought-Seeds have the potential to enhance the overall graffiti image. It is a unique community advancement initiative beginning in this great Blue Mountains ‘City of the Arts’ amidst a glorious World Heritage National Park.

For the 2014 Blue Mountains Winter Magic Festival, 42 new Mind-Vitamin Thought-Seed placards were put up and many positive responses have already been reported. There are a number of people who are prepared to give testimonials in support of this innovative project at the time when we seek endorsement and sponsorship from the Blue Mountains City Council, local business owners, organisations and the community.
