The
English pop star with dishevelled hair likes to talk about the benefits
of his now healthy life. Whenever he is interviewed, he says it is thanks
to his no-meat diet that he can hold a leading position on the stage.
Years have passed, and now in his forties, he can no longer rely on his
physical strength like he did at the time of "Police".
A
True Farm
Animals are too close to him to
end up on his plate. Thus, in
his magnificent manor in Akehouse, Stonehenge, forty-five
minutes drive from London,
Sting, as a true gentleman
farmer, is surrounded by a real
court of animals: pigs, sheep,
horses, dogs... And not for the
purpose of breeding animals, but
for raising.... his soul of
course.
The British singer
feels serene surrounded by these peaceful animals. When he is not on a
world tour, his daily life is very stable. He gets up at dawn and eats
a balanced breakfast without, of course, any kind of animal food: Bye-bye
bacon, good morning cereal and fruit. Then, he recharges himself with
yoga. He practices two hours of meditation daily, recognizing that this
discipline has been a true revolution in his life. "I began to practice
to keep my body busy, out of mere physical need... But very quickly, it
became essential in my life. I have now a better control over my breathing,
I can sing louder, my sex life has been enhanced. It is very encouraging."
Through long hours of horse-riding, he can tap into the vitality that
is generated from his "natural" diet.
That man who appeared yesterday
in magazines with a beer in his
hand, and stressing the precepts
of a "no-future" way of life, is
now very careful of the quality
of the products coming from the
earth. Mindful of fertilizers
and other pesticides used in too
large quantities! For Sting,
there is now a future - His five
children. He composes songs for
them and hopes to convey to them
his conception of a balanced
mind resulting from a perfectly
harmonious life. Also regarding
this this "ecolo" star _ please
remember his commitment to the
Amazon forest and Indians _ we
should proselytize. That is,
let's have the courage to
advertize for the most noble
ideals.
