Peace in the Water

Peace in the Water Ambassador


Peace in the Water

World Unified Prayer JUNE 20, 2008

PLEASE JOIN US ON JUNE 20, 2008, AS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD COME TOGETHER TO BRING PEACE IN THE WATER.

For 33 days between May 30 – July 2, 2008, people of all walks of life, from all around the planet are taking time each day to visualize, meditate, sing and pray a new global vision for clean, clear, peaceful waters with whales, dolphins and all vital marine life swimming free.

We invite you to join us on this global adventure in consciousness - in whatever way you feel inspired - as we discover once again how incredibly powerful we are when we come together, in peace, for the greater good of all.

FEEL IT – Do something each day that brings you into a state of good feeling connection with the element of water and with the energy of Cetaceans. Anything - from surfing, to singing, to sitting meditation.
SEE IT – In this state of connectedness, focus your attention on an image of pure vibrancy in our oceans. See whales and dolphins swimming free in clean, safe water. Visualize our planet’s waterways filled with light and pure vitality.
LIVE IT – Ask yourself how best you can bring this vision of Peace into your day, your life, your creative work in the world... Then simply do it!

We know that it only takes a fraction of 1% of a population to create a tangible shift in consciousness of an entire area... so let us take this moment to collectively choose a world of peace… NOW.

'Beautiful Day' Surf Movie Poster


This is a poster of the surf movie Beautiful Day from the early 70's. Filmed in New Zealand by Andy McAlpine who also made the classic Children of the Sun. I only saw this movie once when it was first released - back when surf movies were a real event and every surfer in town went. I've had the poster since then. Children of the Sun has been available on DVD for a few years and selling well so I'm hoping Beautiful Day will some day be available on DVD. I'd love to watch it again.



Children of the Sun was filmed in '65 and '66 and features some awesome footage of George Greenough surfing in Queensland. I saw it in '69 or '70 when I was still a schoolboy and it was watching George in this movie that made me give up stand-up surfing and begin kneeboarding.
