Ship 30 for 30
21st Century ReCreator’s Manifesto — suggested draft
“We have it in our power to create the world over again.” — Thomas Paine
I choose to create the best art I know how, with everything in me, until I go out of here in a box.
My education is my responsibility. Not the responsibility of the systems I was born into.
The systems are there for me. Not me for the systems. The government is there for me. Not me for the government.
There are people out there who need me. I will deliver great work, and delight them.
I feel no shame, and make no apologies, for making money with my craft.
What income I am blessed with, I endeavour to circulate around humanity, for their benefit, like the blood within my body.
I feel no shame, and make no apologies, for who I am.
I play to my strengths.
Whatever offences I cause others, I put right.
I work with, not against, the Laws of Nature.
I seek to treat others with as much love and courtesy as I would wish from them.
I value:
- Righteousness
- Love, Faithfulness, Kindness, Thoughtfulness
- Boldness, Confidence, Courage
- Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Insight
- Hope, Optimism, Prolific Creativity ….
- and Freedom
People matter. Individuals matter. Governments and corporations don’t.
I live for purposes that extend, way beyond my lifetime.
I think as Big As My Imagination Will Allow.
