WORLD PEACE
Written by Linda Ohlson Graham
At 4am on the morning of September 12th, 2001, after seeing on TV (the day before) the second plane come around the back of and explode into the World Trade Center building, I created a new piece of art in a 30" by 40" frame. Later on the 12th, I asked permission to remove several photographs and a 20" by 24" piece of writing that were on exhibit in a long hallway leading from the parking lot into the Cape Cod 5 Bank in Orleans, MA and replace them with this 'new' piece of 'writing'.
The new piece of art shared two thoughts:
One is a question that was written at the beginning of a Provincetown Poetry Festival 'master class' writing exercise: 'Has the time arrived when Humanity is able to digest the phenomenal REALity of just how simple it could be to shift the Earth's vibration?'
The other shares about the French philosopher Teilhard de Chardin who created the word 'noosphere' to describe the layer of thought that hovers above nature and acts as a universal consciousness . . . a 'thinking envelope' that our thoughts go up to and then are reflected back. Linda's philosophy is that if Humanity . . . consciously … with intention, either individually or collectively, could quiet our thinking mind(s) for just a few minutes daily, what would be reflected back would be more peaceful, more calm, more loving.
Included in this piece of art …
Incrementally I believe this is a 'Formula for WORLD PEACE '.

About the Author
Leading Humanity to new levels of awarenessnis the powerful dynamic that inspires Linda Ohlson Graham's photography and writing.
She feels an intimate connection to the cosmos ...nbecause she spent (literally) thousands of miles with the night sky in view ... :
4 hours on ... 4 hours off ... sailing in the wind rooted her more deeply in her intention to be a catalyst to WORLD PEACE.
During the years a dear friend and Linda spent together, they sailed thousands of miles around the Bahamas ... the Caribbean ... Central and South America ... even offshore up to Cape Cod one spring and in the fall from there to the Virgin Islands.
While sailing the name © EARTH OCEAN HEAVENS appeared in Linda's mind.
She was given thE -impression- she would publish a book some day by that name.
At that time and while living in Denver, co-directing the J.M.W. Turner Museum with her former husband Douglass,nshe started writing poetry.
After a near-death experience when Linda underwent (key word:) >-minor- brain surgery ...nshe began to write pages and pages about the consciousness on our planet lifting ...n>about HEAVEN in the here and now<...nwith simple suggestions to Humanity about how Peace on Earth can be achieved.
It has been truly fascinating for Linda to have this experience unfold.
Linda's photography is described as 'visuals of Light and Beauty in places and in people'.
She's trying to create images that touch people very deeply within ...nthat might give them a still point ...nor elicit a feeling they've never felt before.
Provincetown ARTS (within it's annual 2000/2001 edition) in an article titled 'The Earth, Ocean, and Heavens of Linda Ohlson Graham' stated:
'She expresses a profound interpretation of life as a magical, spiritual journey and inspires us to stop, take in the view, and savor a deep cleansing breath.'

Salt Wind Poets and the Serendipity of Women Poets on Cape Cod ... and Gulf Gate Poets in Sarasota ...nand to have been a member of Women Creating on Cape Cod and Women Contemporary Artists in Sarasota.
