This is cross posted on Adventurez in Mexico and my blog Tina Winterlik Please watch and share this powerful video
From TEDx-About this video
In this passionate talk from TEDxSanMigueldeAllende that's already caused a sensation in Mexico, Emiliano Salinas, son of former president Carlos Salinas de Gortari, confronts the current climate of violence in Mexico -- or rather, how Mexican society responds to it. He calls on ordinary citizens to move from denial and fear to peaceful, community-based action. This is the first talk posted on TED.com that was delivered in a language other than English. (It has English subtitles by default.)
I wish I had these is Spanish - to share, they are excellent video, I hope someone can translate these and share them.

There is a hurricane hitting Mexico's West Coast today. Please I ask you to take a moment and say a prayer, to think a calming thought...for winds to calm, for water to calm...for Mother Earth to calm down, for the wind and the rain to calm. I am praying for all the wonderful people in those areas that we met when we travelled, for friends and families. I am sending this little angel to watch over you all. Please God look after all these wonderful people and keep them out of harms way. Please Mother Nature, let there be peace and calm.---
Do you ever wonder if all the tensions and negative energy around us create these negative events in nature?I heard a man speaking recently saying that we are one with nature...we are not outside nature. Perhaps if we all calm down, Mother Nature will calm down.
I copied this from the link to help people if they need this info.

FORECASTER BRENNAN
Made this video last year, thought I would share with you here.
In Feb 2001 a terrible fire burned my camera along with my cabana in Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico. In a effort to capture the beauty around me, I started to paint. At first they were really bad, I did not know if I could paint, in highschool I had been very discouraged by my art teacher. After many paintings I realized I did have talent and in a bizarre way the fire was a good thing. Otherwise I would never have painted the many painting that I did. I hope you like them
