Ocean Blog

I'm a music artist who loves to endorse healthy, eco magazines like this one where I'm on the cover:

I'm also delighted to be instrumental in showing people how to get healthy by going vegan!

An interview with Ocean is featured on Famousveggie.com in their Celeb Interviews section, and here is a link - Ocean on FamousVeggie

I love to contribute my talents in order to help - I think it's the essence of happiness, and I adore being healthy, being vegan, and being compassionate.

I'm posting here since I already have a quasi-political blog I was asked to keep at Ecoize.com, named Ocean's Ocean, and I also do the Mermaid Blog, which is a fantasy tale ( and connected to an epic trilogy I have written called The Mers ), and this one is various musings, ideas, moods, and so on, so it's fun !

I like to think of ideas to help people, as I do on sites where I contribute articles on everything from living eco to helping animals (including us), vegan recipes, my own travel adventures, on being a musician, being a fan of classic films, being in love with history, into anthropology and other cultures, art, design, illustration, stories, and writing, among many other interests.

How do I find the time to follow so many interests, I ask myself. And I know that only because I'm vegan do I have such energy!

I don't do just one thing ever - for instance, I have two books I'm writing now at the same time! 

Also I am doing a series of paintings on a certain theme for a show.

And, of course, I do my music very often - meaning I produce tunes I write, and/or sing somewhere.

I have a real interest in making life better for everyone (of all species),  and every place, than it would have been if I had not been born.

Ocean Poetry

I have several books of poetry:

       Ocean Poetry

The above is a collection of sea poems, some heavy, and some light in theme - many, spiritual, and many, basic, sensual, and descriptive.

From Ocean's Grief Poems
(And Visit Ocean's Grief Site For Those Who Have Suffered Losses - And If Your Loved One Was Your Pet, Visit OurSunny.com)


And here is a new poem, in a different tone:

IT SNOWED TODAY

  - OCEAN

IT SNOWED TODAY

MORNING-TIME

FROSTED WHITE FUZZY GLAZE

OVER FACE OF SUN

SHINING IN STREAMS

LIKE NEW TESTAMENT PAINTINGS

OF GOD’S LIGHT, ILLUMINATING

HARD BORDERS ON CUMULUS FRAMES

IT TOOK MY HURT TO ANOTHER PLANE

AND I REMAIN

HERE AMONG QUIET GHOSTS.

I WISH THAT THEY’D DISTURB ME.

MY DOGS, SLEEPING NEARBY 

SNORE -

THEY KEEP ME- SAVE ME

FROM THE HARSH THINGS,

THE TRUTHS THAT I AVOID

THAT I AM IN

DESPITE MY CHAGRIN

THAT I AM LOST - HERE

WITHOUT 

YET I MADE THE DECISION

TO STAY 

TO MISS THE  WARMTH

TO FEEL THE GLOOM

TO HAVE THE ROOM

TO MOURN

I have been in mourning for a few years now, for someone very close to me.

I am not always sunshiny, and sometimes my poetry is the best way to vent feelings of loss.

I had gone to a place, in a Northern clime, where once I had lived, and was reminded what Winter really is.

I feel for all you who are experiencing the extreme cold - whether of the weather alone or from the loss of a loved one.

Here's another sad poem:

GONE- POEM BY OCEAN

ALL CHANGED

FOREVER, NOW

MEASURED NOT

BY LENGTH 

AND TIME

BUT BY WHEN YOU

WERE HERE

AND WHEN YOU

WERE NOT.

GONE, NOW,

BUT NOT

FORGOT

This Blog

Just ideas, thoughts, and meanderings. I keep a fantasy blog here: http://www.MermaidBlog.com, and this one is just light and musy, as in just musing.

I'm a hyper-creative, meaning that I love creating in many ways, almost every day.

Music is my soul - I mean - it's the one thing I reverence doing more than anything else (except for saving lives, as in my animal rescuing - that's the height of existence and spiritual ecstasy, just to know that my presence has caused an innocent being to live) - and music is so close to me that I literally weep in gratitude that I'm allowed to make music.

Nothing else of all I create does that for me.

I also write a lot, and books and stories just seem to pour out of me like music does, easily, with no effort at all on my part.

I'm not sure why this happens, but it's cool unless I'm busy - then I have to put a song on tape or stop and get out my portable typewirter or laptop for writings.

Artwork is something else I enjoy, and it's not as intense an activity for me. I do it mainly because others love what I do so much that they've clamored and fostered and encouraged me all my life to create paintings, drawinga and whatever.
