Care First World

We wake up in the realisation that our use of money

can serve the well-being of people and the Earth (Care First)

and doesn’t need to be used at the expense of that well-being (Money First).

In a loving embrace of our fear, greed,

selfishness, possessiveness and desire for power,

we can create a use of money based

on caring, sharing, loving, giving and receiving.

This creates a vibrant, positive flow of money (golden water)

that brings everything back to life on Earth (blue planet).

We can do this in collaboration with each other (rose quartz).

We then create a Care First world.

We all can meet our basic needs and develop ourselves.

Receive the earth as a gift and share it with each other.

Respect its ecosystems, restore them and let them thrive!

Louis Bohtlingk, founder Care First World

Dare to Care or Dare to Dream. Easier said than done, I notice with some regularity.

But lately I have also noticed, due to developments in myself and in the world, that I am being challenged on this more and more. And then I met Sandra and Louis Bohtlingk of Care First. The encounters with them and the ideas of Care First intrigued and touched me from the first moment.

It inspired me to create these three images with the question: How do we get from a meaningful awakening, through a loving embrace of the world, to a vibrant planet? And all that goes with it, the beautiful, light circumstances and the occasionally dark periods in our lives.

By imagining this, and thereby maybe inspiring and touching you, I hope to contribute to this. Consciousness is the key to change.

I am proud that these images are embraced by Sandra and Louis Bohtlingk and their Care First organisation!
