Eco Change - Vanessa Collingridge

To quote “One must get people to dance first then change the music” what an inspired thought. Inspiration today comes from my meeting Vanessa Collinridge (Wikipedia or Google look her up) an extraordinary woman who walks the talk. Vanessa jumped off the replica ship the Endeavour (original sailed into the unknown searching for the new world by Captain Cook) in the middle of the ocean swimming around with a rifleman up the mast watching for sharks, looking back to the Endeavour of how incredible it was for the men that sailed in the original in the 1700 and especially Captain Cook his focus and ability to see what could not be seen. To feel what could not be felt.

A New Zealander named Lord Geering wrote a book called “What is Christianity without God” this important New Zealander and his many books I learned, the Christian view, Muslim, and other ancients said the world would be Global 1. They are right we are at global one. Irrespective of race colour or creed the internet has roped the world in a new era as one. Perhaps the ancients thought, was a world coming together totally in peace, harmony, sharing etc.

As Vanessa Collingridge demonstrates through her books, history is exciting, especially the people that broke through barriers of social cast, romance era, to where we stand today this new era of discovery beyond self. We have the knowledge of change, the tools to change, however the will to get people to dance so we can play the music, change and inspiration as with history and lessons learned we need to be a Captain Cook within ourselves first. The courage to do so like Vanessa Collingridge.
