It's wonder.

And then sit in the spray of a waterfall and watch the water that's always coming and always going and always here. It's wonder. It's awe.
(paraphrased from as interview with Jane Goodall)

Growing organic foods, in natural, contemplative living communities, will offer people healing, contentment, compassionate aloha, and the renewal of creativity.

Her voice sounds like a crystal bowl ringing out a call to breathe,
to pay attention,
to really see,
and to act wisely on what we see.
A daily gardening routine can be truly therapeutic and relaxing.
The human body quickly begins to feel connected with the earth.
Fears or anxieties can be wiped clean simply by taking care of the mother earth.

The aim of Mayumi’s life has a more expansive and long-range target.
Mayumi’s art extends to the geo-political arena
where she also works as a global activist, participating in anti-nuclear campaigns worldwide.
In 1992, she founded Plutonium Free Future to help prevent nuclear disaster. 

The full circle of life produces healthy children, clean water, safe food and homes that are protected, and far away from the nuclear industry and its bed-partner, the weapons industry.
She co-founded a non-profit group called INOCHI, which is Japanese for “life force"
and another group called United Earth,
a network of Japanese and overseas contacts doing direct aid in areas affected by disasters.
Now, 66 years after being bombed in Japan,
Mayumi shares that healing experience with others,
waking up a new generation with the power of her voice,
the beauty of her vision,
and the strength of her hands.
Every open heart who hears the ring of truth from the woman who sees and paints goddesses
can aim toward the same target:
a sane, healthy, loving planet.



You can help the Morokino project or United Earth.
Donate now by sending checks made out to INOCHI and mail them to Mayumi Oda, Ginger Hill Farm, P.O. Box 1907, Kealakekua, HI 96750.
