Don't forget to dance!

Flow with the River!

It is important to understand that life will lead you where you need to go, if you let it.

Sometimes there are curves along the way.

Always you will find the right way forward by just flowing with the river!

The sky may be cloudy; but there's always a hole in the sky!

Seek your own 'hole in the sky'

Never accept the clouds attempt to make your day

all grey!

Always seek the positive side

and you will find your own hole in the sky!

Imagine - A world where every human being had what they need to enjoy a happy and full life!

Flow with the river!

It flows to the sea,

Flow with the river

It brings thee to me!

Imagine - Young children growing up in a world full of hope!

Imagine a world without fear!

Imagine - Living in a world without greed.......

Imagine there was no more pain and suffering in the world!

Imagine

there was no suffering or pain in the world,

and all the people on earth could live in peace,

and everyone had all the food they needed, but not too much,

and there were no people without a home to live in,

and there was  no sickness,

Believe it can happen!



Imagine - your day is full of blue sky, warm sun, and beautiful friends!

Imagine a politician actually standing up for the majority!

Imagine......imagine whatever you wish today!

I wish for a nice dinner with my daughter and her mate that will include for the first time, her mate's mom and step-dad.

Imagine if all humans loved our mother earth more than our wealth!

Imagine - Peace in the whole world! - from Emmy S.

Imagine that all sick people in the entire world - were suddenly healed and ready to live life to its fullest once again!

What would you like me to imagine? 

Imagine you could change the world for the better - You can, you know!

See the photo on the right side of the open palm hands.....as it says..."Happiness is in the palm of your hands."

Imagine.....

Imagine only positive things happening....all negative things have run their course and have ended.

Imagine there were no greedy or evil people in the world!

Imagine - we all had the love of someone!

Imagine - You loved something so much, that you could only express it in a song!

The fourth song of the playlist is a song called; "I will follow you" by Death Cab for Cutie....if this isn't one of the greatest love songs ever....I don't know what is.  It makes me cry.

Imagine if there were no politicians or misguided religious leaders!

Say a prayer for the people of Japan after the massive earthquake and tsunami.

Let us all pray for those who have lost loved ones, their homes, and their livelihoods in Japan as the result of this enormous earthquake and tsunami.

May all love surround them as they begin to move forward from this devastating act of nature!

"Record-breaking Picasso goes on show in Britain" Reuters

I believe that this painting is INCREDIBLE.  A stroke of genius!  A Masterpiece!  BUT isn't this an amazing demonstration of how out of balance the economy has become - rich vs. poor.  This piece sold for more than $100Million last year!  Whoever had that much money must have had even more to be able to afford such a purchase.  Paying more for this painting than the amount it would take to feed entire cities for a year?  Sounds like the wealth ratios of the medieval times!


Sun Mar 6, 7:11 pm ET
LONDON (Reuters) – The most expensive painting to be sold at auction, Pablo Picasso's "Nude, Green Leaves and Bust," goes on public display in Britain for the first time on Monday at the Tate Modern gallery in London.
The 1932 work, which sold for $106.5 million at Christie's in New York last year, has been lent to the Tate galleries from a private collection and will be on display in a new Pablo Picasso room in the Poetry and Dream section.
"Nude, Green Leaves and Bust is one of the sequence of paintings of Picasso's muse, Marie-Therese Walter, made by the artist at Boisgeloup, Normandy, in the early months of 1932," said Nicholas Serota, the Tate's director.
"They are widely regarded as amongst his greatest achievements of the inter-war period."
Picasso first encountered Walter in 1927, but their relationship had to remain secret from his wife, Olga.
According to the Tate, it was only in 1931-2 that he began to make sculptures and paintings in which the manipulation of Walter's body was explicit and eroticised.
Although Picasso had long disguised his affair with Walter, Nude, Green Leaves and Bust was among the works which openly charted the lovers' obsession with each other.
Before it was sold in May, the work had been in the collection of L.A.-based collectors Sidney and Frances Brody for almost six decades.
They acquired the work in 1951 from Paul Rosenberg & Co., Paris and New York who in turn had acquired it from the artist in 1936. During that period it was exhibited publicly only once, in 1961, to commemorate Picasso's 80th birthday.

Dancing in the dark or any other time.....

Dancing in the dark; or any other time is good for the soul!

Tonight I had to dance by myself in my front driveway in the dark.  It was my only opportunity....and it was worth it!

Walking.......

A person who walks with his LEG reaches his DESTINATION but a person who walks with his BRAIN reaches his DESTINY...

It's 2011 - and there is a light at the end of your tunnel!

Look forward down the road and you will see....there is a light in everyone's tunnel.  You must continue on your path toward the light.

A little humour along the way also will help you reach the light.

Best wishes for 2011!
