GREAT ad for ‘The Greens’ - unfortunately it’s not an actual TVC, but was done as an exercise in pitching for ABCTV’s ‘Gruen Nation’ - here’s hoping it goes viral.

They have my vote :)

“The only thing you lose when you die is your fear of death.” (Swami Muktananda)

…an enlightening blog post about the surprising benefits that come from grief.

Ah, not to be cut off,
not by such slight partition
to be excluded from the stars’ measure.

What is inwardness?
What if not sky intensified,
flung through with birds and deep
with winds of homecoming?

Rainer Maria Rilke
