I am told by Native American friends active at Standing Rock that the elders are counseling the Water Protectors to undertake each action prayerfully and to stay off the warpath. I would like to explain why this advice is not only spiritually sound, but politically astute as well.
In September of 2014, through a mutual friend, I met Myztico Campo in his Brooklyn studio. I was very much taken with his paintings. We talked about doing an article for RS. I did some research about his life and work in various media and was struck by parallels in our respective life experiences. The interview turned out to be more of a conversation.

If you look at the runaway growth of student loans and college tuition

Green work expands the economy by reducing waste of resources, workers

The banking
system encircles and ensnares people, buildings and environments,
defining cities, credit-rating some higher, no matter their quality of

and incentives for livability.

a panopticon so ubiquitous that the very concept of escape becomes an archaic
curiosity.
Etymologically speaking, to invest means to clothe, as in to take naked money and put it into new vestments, something

social constructions. Right investment is to
array money in sacred vestments.
