If you have ..

Thank you, who ever conceived of this message and its beautiful layouting first. I do not know who you are .. I always credit the author of material that I repost, but that proved impossible: so many people have reposted this message. I gladly join them.

 

 

The message that is sent by this poster is clear as a bell, rings right through smaller and larger concerns, fears, hopes. Or at least, that is what it did to me. 

 It reminds me of Nine Simone's  magnificent "Life".  At times I play that song until I believe I can walk on my hands- which I definitely cannot :-)

Tree of life

"Tree of Life "by Faupel-Art.org

Today I was asked what I would look like  if I were a tree. I rather enjoyed that question. I did a little drawing. Maybe I will redo it as a private work of art. Even post it here :-)

I spent some time wondering what kind of tree I want to be when I grow up. I found this image on a website supporting charities such as Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and Amnesty International.
Have a look at the image. The colours are heartbreakingly beautiful, inspiring thoughts of love and innocense. Of  life and hope and courage and harmony. Connecting energies. Clean, clean air. Yes..

A good life

Louder he purrs, and louder,
in one glad hymn of praise
for all the night's adventures,
for quiet, restful days.


Life will go on for ever,
with all that cat can wish:
warmth and the glad procession
of fish and milk and fish.
