Keeping Hope & Compassion Alive in the 21st Century

From environmentalism to economic objectives and hopes for relationships, sustainability is a key concept and goal in our 21st  century lives. It is no less applicable to operations at Bright Skylark Literary Productions, and my individual intentions as an author and artist, than it is to dedicated ecologists and community activists. For this reason, I am equally honored, grateful, and hopeful as I present Carousel of Sustainable Compassion Number 1 and invite citizens of the world community to lend their support over the few months to help me achieve some of the most consequential work I’ve ever attempted.
​
While maintaining Bright Skylark as a Full Access and Free to Read website is a major undertaking in itself, one primary venture for which I am seeking funding support is A PASSION SUPREME, Memoirs of a Music Fanatic. The book project documents the amazing life and times of legendary Savannah State University radio programmer and former Coastal Jazz Association president Theron “Ike” Carter, and its completions will likely take several years. The very excellent news is that interviews and research have underway since January 2022. Those interested in making donations or grant suggestions to support completion of the project are invited to please DO SO BY CLICKING HERE.

But what exactly is the Carousel of Sustainable Compassion and why be grateful for it? 

​The carousel is the above extensive collection of visual materials combined with texts, or incorporating work from, Bright Skylark enterprises and created by diverse organizations and individuals. They have been utilized primarily in different nonprofit capacities as: educational materials, job training tools, social media memes, humanitarian campaign posters, spiritual resources, and cultural arts promotions. In addition, it includes new art created specifically for this observance and made available for sale at Fine Art America and Art by Aberjhani at Pixels.com:
                                                         Compassion Crowns the Soul Number 1 
                                                         Compassion Crowns the Soul Number 2 
                                                         Compassion Crowns the Soul Number 2 (with text)
      
Names of the images’ creators are often visible on the quotation memes themselves. Some of those who have produced and shared the quotation posters included in the Carousel of Sustainable Compassion are as follows.
​
  • ANC Final Word Tonight
  • Center for United Nations Constitutional Research
  • Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning & Preservation
  • Curvy Buddha
  • Federation of African Law Students
  • FLT Happy Harvest
  • Freedom Riders 60 Years

Anyone whose name is not visible on the quotation art itself and would like to see it either listed above or noted on the graphic is visited to contact Bright Skylark and request the edit.

Enduring Impact

The word sustainable has been included in the name for this image carousel because of the enduring impact of the quotations in various situations. Campaigns to prevent suicide, end gun violence, strengthen ethical practices of democracy, support gender equality, stop racial bias, inspire creative problem solving, encourage coexistence, and numerous others have all benefited from their inclusion.

The Carousel of Sustainable Compassion helps validate the value and accuracy of a vision experienced long ago at the same time that a new undertaking requires replenished energies and resources to secure its completion. If extreme climate conditions and violent conflicts have taught us anything of value, it is that important legacies capable of making the greatest contributions to our lives only survive we commit to preserving them.
