LAMB I - Sheep Series

LAMB I ~ by Vegan Artist © Karrel Christopher

oil on canvas painting ~ 40 x 30 cm

When I look upon a lamb I feel profoundly moved by their innocence, beauty and gentleness. One would think that such purity of spirit would inspire people to be the most kind and compassionate humans they could be. Yet despite our modern times and access to ethical and responsible alternatives, our society still endorses the slavery, exploitation, mutilation and murder of sheep (and many other species). What bizarre misguided thinking allows the betrayal sentient beings—that would do you no harm? What corrosion of ethics and morality?! Animals look into our eyes with hopeful trust us and over and over again people betray them with domination and violence. How can these heartless betrayals be reconciled?! Certainly it must ultimately result in a form of soul death.

On this Full Moon Spring Equinox of 2019, please examine your beliefs, traditions, habits, possessions and venues for making money. Do they really make you happy and fulfilled? What legacy are you building? Our growing population seems to suffer from such loneliness, anxiety and desperation. Mindlessly stumbling along distracted, selfish and obsessed - so consumed with arrogance and greed. How long does the human species in their delusion believe that they can continue to destructively infest this planet Earth – abusing and destroying its precious inhabitants -with no regard for the consequences?! Domination and violence are not the answer. Our choices matter...on so many levels. We can open our eyes and snap out of it. Connect with Earth Family. Look into their eyes. Know and understand them. Consider their experiences. Feel. What we learn can lead us to a beautiful awakening inspiring us to take caring responsible action and evolve. Consult your heart intelligence. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Let the healing and renewal begin with you. There is such joy, health, contentment and peace possible when we commit to kind, respectful and loving choices.

It is urgently important that we unveil the deceptions and delusions that allow us to compartmentalize our compassion, goodness and ethics.
We must stop betraying *non*human lives and the Earth.
When we discover our conscience ~ we must act.
All beings cherish safety, family, freedom and LIFE
~~~ Live, rejoice and prosper VEGAN ~~~
Create a world respectful, just, safe and joyous for everyone. ~ KC
