ANNOUNCING OUR CONTEST WINNERS!

Although we discourage aggressive competition in favor of teamwork at World Oceans Arts,  we had a couple of contests recently to inspire the best artistry from some of our people. We are excited to announce the results, and also to give special recognition to a vocal group, and to an artist whom the world recently lost.

Previously we had announced that CHARLOTTE BAPTIE and

BREATHING WITH WOA

Hello everyone, If you are able to read this, we are grateful that you are alive and hopefully doing what is needed to remain healthy. To begin with the most important thing: it is only by the world acting as a community, a family, that everyone will survive and prosper and move ahead of the current pandemic. If we each place the lives and interests of others higher than our own desires, this will succeed.

                               ARISE, PEOPLE !       As an artist who is also an American, I feel a tremendous new energy and inspiration today. I also marvel at the enormous collision of values and unexpected twists and turns that become evident when one is a citizen of the world. I stagger at today's unveiling of the fact that my country has no  plan for covid vaccine distribution.....yet another lie...The collision of values seems to almost overwhelm the straightforward and simple needs of all people everywhere.

Moments of Heroism

We are all drawn toward heroic figures, perhaps in part because they teach and impress us in extraordinary ways; and perhaps because they allow us to imagine ourselves bigger and more powerful than we think we are. People who act heroically come in all shapes and sizes. They may even escape our notice until the effects of their heroism spread widely. My spiritual belief is that every human is potentially heroic; but I also think we should praise and emulate those whose heroism is huge and astonishing. Greta Thunberg is an amazing small young woman from what she terms a small country (Sweden), but she has awakened several billion people to the fact that so many still refuse or fail to recognize: we have overheated our planet to a point of real danger. At age sixteen she shows herself to be much wiser and bolder than so many older people who should be leading our way. Stephen Hawking, who passed away last year, was as overwhelming an example of mind over matter as one could ever imag...
