I have been so excited leading up to today - for you and your rocks and your project. What a gift you have given yourself, and the earth and all of us who have been touched by your dedication to this process of painting rocks and sharing your thoughts/insights daily. I am also filled with love, to know that you are by/with the Whanganui awa for the concluding day of your big cycle. If I was a bird (with strong wings) I'd fly over to give you a big feathery hug. Thank you for the inspiration you have seeded. It was a blessing to meet you this year. Wishing you much joy and life in the new year and hoping the transition from painting a rock a day to your next practice, is fulfilling. Love Ilka Blue xx kiaora Jo!

Oh that's wonderful you are doing koru designs. There is an explanation on the home page of this blog and plenty of other explanations on the internet too. Pitau refers directly to the new shoot of the fern as it unfolds and koru is the looped, curled form... Once the year is over, there will be a book for the year! Best wishes with the class koru designs - I'll go over to check out your blog too :) Kiaora Jane, nice to meet you here!

I'm planning my trip now, the logistics, where I am staying and my purpose and intention for actually going. Not just for a holiday although it's nice to be able to experience culture and place of a different land but I feel like there needs to be more sharing, giving, receiving all leading toward change. My problem is I feel like there is not enough time in the day to achieve everything I want to in this lifetime but small steps and one thing at a time I've realised! Thanks again for sharing, I'm going to take a look now. Arohanui, Jo x Some wonderful thoughts thank-you Ilka – and definitely in line with what I have been thinking.

It's a big consideration and a tough maze to stay globally mobile/connected whilst keeping a small footprint. A group of artists ran the 'we won't fly for art' project where they pledged not to fly for 6 months http://www.furtherfield.org/media-art-ecologies/we-wont-fly-art and here's another link to another project on the same issue - artists justifying their travel through the impact their work is doing http://ecoartblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/reduce-art-flights.html Back to WorldChanging - it gives us a redirective approach rather than reactive one - recognising the value in travel and the reality of it continuing in the future and then comes up with an idea to make air travel physically emit limited carbon emissions - through strategy and design. So perhaps we can feel relatively okay about air travel now if we do it with deep consideration (how long am i going for and how does this enable me to maximise my adventure with logistical efficiency and how to travel with consciousness of place and cultural exchange) and secondly if we contribute to the collective redirection of the airline industry - so we don't only pay for our ticket in dollars but also with our skills in campaigning for change.
