The Time We Have Left...

The Time We Have Left .......

Quite a while ago, in our Hippie Days, Carly Simon had a hit song called “Anticipation,” which included a line about spending time “chasin” after some brighter day.”  Looking forward to an occasion in the New Year can provide a lot of pleasure.  Not only do you expect that approaching time to be wonderful, but you can add to your enjoyment by counting down the days until it arrives.  Whether it’s Easter, next summer’s tropical vacation, or just next forever Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all the Worlds Children, you just know that when that day comes, it will be glorious!  Sometimes it is! (And, as we all know, sometimes it isn’t)  But, hey, in any case, there’s no denying that anticipation affords us pleasure that spills over into the present.  That’s a good thing!

Let’s switch gears.  How many songs can you think of with lyrics about the past—remembering good times, regretting sad times?  Just off the top of my head I can mention Chicago’s “Saturday in the Park” or Barbra Streisand’s “The Way We Were.”  Looking back allows us to re-experience past events to whatever extent we wish.  From the vantage point of experience, we can mentally experiment with what “might have been” or just enjoy the echo of “Days of Future Past”.  For me Pleasure comes from being in the moment and enjoying your immediate circumstances. Purpose is about fulfilling our longer term vision for life and goals. Happiness comes from finding that mix between the two. There is no simple answer, however if we tip too far one way or the other we can lose our happiness.

But what about fully enjoying the very moment we are currently experiencing—right now at Christmas Time in 2014?  Let’s all resolve to do that!  I’m currently challenging myself to enjoy this day—every day—not tomorrow, last Wednesday, or next year - there is no other life but this and now.  How about you?  No matter at what stage of life we find ourselves, there is still a wealth of opportunities for growth, for reinvention, for connection in Iceality.  From now on, let’s expend the bulk of our energy on the day we have to live right now.  Adopt the “glass of Hope is half full” (not half empty) attitude—and drink it dry!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with Iceality,

Worlds Children Peace Trek is an opportunity for people to meet neighbors and pets in an informal outdoor setting. There is a nature walk around Coe Lake with plenty of BBQ's and picnic tables available. This is a children and pet event

Backgound:
The Worlds Children Peace Monument (WCPM) is the First Major Peace Sculpture Dedicated to members of the Animal Kingdom......representing Peace for the Worlds Children of All Living Things - Human, Flora and Fauna.

The Worlds Children Peace Monument is an original sculpture conceived during EXPO 2000, the Worlds Fair held in Hannover, Germany. It was designed and built by David Jakupca at the historic ARK in Berea as a project of the International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) in cooperation with the United Nations 2000 Culture of Peace Program. The concept of a permanent universal symbol of renewal and living peace for all living things was organized in support of the UN Decade of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World and the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.

The Science behind Peace and Global Harmony is the "Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts". Developed in 1987, it is the practical study on the aesthetics of the relationship between Humans and their Environment through Arts and Culture, ultimately promoting an effective sustainable global Culture of Peace between all Living Things ~ Human, Plant and Wildlife  Kingdoms!   The incorporation of the rights of flora and fauna in a "Universal Peace Equation" is the first major change in achieving a sustainable global Culture Peace on Earth in over 2000 Years.  http://theicea.com/page22

UN chief urges Hope in Iceality as world seems to fall apart.... World leaders must build upon "seeds of hope" as explained in the Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, speaking to world leaders on September 24th's 2014 General Assembly meeting, urged them to take the lead on solving global challenges and crises. "[L]eadership is precisely about finding the seeds of hope and nurturing them into something bigger," he said. Also speaking today was U.S. President Barack Obama. Is an profound endorsement of the ICEALITY METHODOLOGY explained in the Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts.

Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts
http://www.theicea.com/page22

The Iceality Methodology is a goal-directed type of learning principle for the Worlds Children based on the assumption that ideas and experiences reinforce one another and can be linked to enhance the innate holistic learning process. It refers to the capability of people to improve their communities through their own instinctive creativeness by following the same type of positive hands on action inherent in the Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts. The Iceality Methodology used to expand the WCPM globally has its origins in Nature itself, utilizing the basic fact that All Living things have an inherent need to grow and prosper.
Like a parent plant grows and sprouts seeds [ of hope] to propagate and grow, the WCPM uses WCPM Peace Stones to grow and send their messages of Peace.

"Respect for human and environmental rights and greater understanding between people from different racial and religious backgrounds must be the first goal of society in today's fast-changing, globalized world." according to American Cultural Ambassadors David and Renate Jakupca.  This goal is accomplished"...by focusing on the creative process and affirming to the principles of the "Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts"

American Cultural Ambassadors David and Renate Jakupca

The Theory on Environmental Arts (ICEALITY*) was enthusiastically embraced by the United Nations by 1990, with the support of UN delegates Jimmy Carter and Geraldine Ferraro was featured in many of their World Conferences;

1- 1992 Earth Summit on the Environment, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
2- 1993 World Conference on Human Rights, Vienna, Austria
3- 1994 World Conference on Population and Development, Cairo, Egypt
4- 1995 World Conference on Women, Beijing, China
5- 1996 Habitat II- UN Conference on Human Settlements, Istanbul, Turkey
6- 2000 World's Fair, Expo2000, Hannover, Germany
7- 2001 World Conference on Racism, Durban, South Africa
8- 2002 World Summit on Sustainability, Johannesburg, South Africa
9- 2003 World Conference on Peace, Verbania, Italy
10- 2005 World Conference on Peace, Verbania, Italy
11- 2007 World Peace Conference, Santa Fe, New Mexico

The result of this major global public promotion at the United Nations level, is that the Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts is now considered as the cornerstone of the modern sustainable global Environmental Art Movement and this concept is now replicated by artists, architects, urban planners and sustainable organizations throughout the World, reflecting a still growing global audience.

Autumn Décor Design Tips from the ARK in Berea: Unique Ideas on How Art Can Spruce Up Your Home

ARK in Berea:  With summer days about to fade into fall, and outdoor living slowly heading indoors, now is the perfect time to liven up the dwelling you love to call home and prepare for some good cocooning time. Besides the cool, crisp air and invigorating ‘sweater weather’ the fall provides us each year, the colors of crimson, burnt orange, green, earthy brown and golden yellow are absolutely vibrant and can be brought indoors in a big way.

With more time being spent indoors as fall glides in, it’s the perfect time to refresh our homes and liven up our walls in a way that mixes majestic colors with breathtaking landscapes and fall scenes. Many times, finding just the right art can breathe life into a room that may have become hum-drum and stale over the years. American Cultural Ambassadors David and Renate Jakupca of the International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA), headquartered in the ARK in BEREA, offers some great decorating tips for the fall:

Don’t go small: One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make when selecting art is going ‘too small,’ which can make a piece appear dwarfed. You’ve heard the term ‘bigger is better.’ In this case, it’s right on the money. Imagine what a bold piece of art can do for an entire room. What’s great about ICEA pieces is that you can obtain an art selection on canvas up to 54” x 102”, even if the original is much smaller" said Ambassador Renate

      Don’t shy away from color: The trends in color this fall are bold, rich colors like mustard, reds and spicy oranges mixed with browns. Find a landscape scene that incorporates these colors and pick great accent pieces in chartreuse, red and yellow to play up the bold colors in your art. This can instantly breathe new life into a room.

      Consider the right lighting for your art: Draw attention to a favorite piece of art with an accent light that plays up the bold fall colors.

      Cocoon with color: As you begin spending more time inside, inspire your indoor spaces with art that’s cheerful and colorful. All types of art, including abstract images, will warm up your décor if they contain the earthy, autumn tones you see when you look outside your window.

      Groupings are back: In the 70s, wall groupings were prevalent in homes across the country, and the trend is making its way back. Freshen up your home this fall by hanging a matched set in a structured arrangement or mix and match your favorite pieces in a random configuration.

      Transform a room with a few simple changes: Purchase a new piece of art for a primary spot, such as the space over a fireplace or sofa. Buy a couple of new pillows that complement the colors in the art, and suddenly your whole room looks new.

      Consider season art changes if you’re running out of space: When you love art, it’s easy to quickly fill every wall! Why not consider season changes for key areas in your home? If you currently have a painting of zesty sunflowers in a basket on a particular wall, consider purchasing an autumn landscape to use in that same position for half the year. It keeps your home décor fresh and forever up-to-date.

      Change wall colors for a dramatic affect: Have you ever noticed how many art galleries and museums in urban design change wall colors depending on the art that’s on display? If your home and furnishings are neutral, consider painting one accent wall in a room with a different color, based on an interesting color within a favorite painting that hangs on that wall. The right color background will make your art come to life.

On the Death of Robin Williams, American Cultural Ambassadors Mourn the Loss

"As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions."

ARK in Berea:  David and I we're shocked and saddened to hear that the talented artist and arts activist, Robin Williams, passed away yesterday. As American Cultural Ambassadors, we remember him not only for his incredible career that brought joy to so many, but also for the way he used his talent to promote the Arts, he as left his mark on pop culture forever.

President Obama released a statement last night about Williams passing:
"Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien -- but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most -- from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets."

Robin's notable disappearance is a healthy reminder of our choices in the face of the challenges of our time which take so many lives unwillingly because of the unmet need for love. Depression is a crisis of learning held in the homeostasis of denial because we fear the experience of pain and wish to control it. Our finest moments are those in which we absorb and then release what appears to be dark energy, discovering underneath it a brilliance of serenity and joy never before experienced, layer upon layer, deeper and deeper into the heart of Love.

Our condolences are with Robin Williams family and friends, and we'll always remember him at the International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) for his enormous talent and his generous heart.

David and Renate Jakupca,
American Cultural Ambassadors
