RRR
003
Not unlike RRR.002, one year ago, when we were in the initial throws of the oil disaster in the Gulf, RRR.003 finds us dealing with the aftermath of another disaster – the recent earthquake in Japan and the ensuing nuclear catasrophe. It’s a scary, scary world, and the times, they are a feelin’ fragile. But there’s a strength to discover and pull out of these delicate moments. When the world is forced to pause for an instant and reflect - when we stop and recognize ourselves as part of something larger, we begin to re-consider the power of what we have, what we have done, and the possibility of what could be next. And it’s probably not all so bad.
When we start to rejoice in reflection and layer moments, we discover a richness of shared experience, and we gain a freshness that, while honoring what has come before, still tells us that we can continue. We hope that there is always a chance to “start tomorrow,” but we know that no matter what, there is always the chance to start today. To stop for a second, to remember, reflect, rejoice and reconstruct - and re-start with the knowledge that there is yet more out there to experience. RRR.003 comes to us, perhaps for the last time, on Earth Day 2011 – we honor our Mother Earth by joining together as a community of makers to reflect on all that she gives us, the good and the bad – the experience of being apart of something bigger than ourselves. On this third strike, we acknowledge that it’s not too late to rescue ourselves from the seemingly endless spate of wreckage and start tomorrow to rebuild, or even better, start today. —LB, 2011.
