Things have clearly been a bit crazy in Thailand …and it’s easy with the news bombarding us every minute to skim over such articles and events, placing war, rebellion, injustice…etc next to sport or financial highlights…but, when you get sent a link to a specific ‘situation’, it brings it all a little closer…what’s someone’s news, is someone else’s reality.

I don’t think we all can be, or want to be James Nachtwey, but those photographers who are out there ‘documenting someone else’s reality’ need to be given recognition – for helping us to wake-up … while we ‘the rest of us’ sit in relative comfort.

The video above is a simple, unedited, real, close-up view of a little part of the current Thailand events by Alan James. Feedback via YouTube…

I for one, will take some more notice of the situation; and at very least start asking the question…what is this all about?

After having the privilege of hearing Ken Duncan speak and workshop over the last 2 weekends, I’d like to take a leaf from his book, and suggest a little communicating with God (esp. in light of world events) sounds like a very good idea.

Whether it’s about a volcano in your ‘backyard’ or a capital full of protestors.
