I was thinking how awful it was to waste the food, when I heard a voice in my head say, "Nothing goes to waste, birds, bugs, worms and microbes all need to be fed." Suddenly I realized how much of a sense of "human" entitlement I had.LDahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063861840067555655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17744128.post-1135454214649658202005-12-24T13:56:00.000-06:002005-12-24T13:56:00.000-06:00very very nice mate ......so are the sea horses ta...very very nice mate ......<BR/>so are the sea horses taking over the world? i mean what's the meaning behind this painting?Nabeelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350990439729881786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17744128.post-1134363473584126192005-12-11T22:57:00.000-06:002005-12-11T22:57:00.000-06:00ElliaThank you Ellia, what a wonderful thing to sa...<B>Ellia</B><BR/>Thank you Ellia, what a wonderful thing to say!<BR/><BR/><B>St John Street</B><BR/>Hope to see you again!

It's funny though that you should mention a geode, I was thinking when I was working on it that this should be as if you broke open a stone and found this inside like a fossil.

I wish I could make a piece like this.<BR/><BR/><B>Carla</B> <BR/>Thank You so much Carla, you really seemed to read my mind. I am always so touched by Blake's poems and this one touched on everything I was thinking about blue, the world is blue from space, the idea of heaven makes me think of the blue of the sky. If I think of wildflowers, I always remember the spiderwort that grew on the farm I was raised on. It is an impossible glowing shade of blue.<BR/>The whole world is a flower, you can encompass the universe in a grain of sand... eternity, to me is a high blue note. <BR/>(on another note, your wand is turning out beautiful!!)<BR/><BR/><B>vfm4</B> <BR/>That was the sweetest comment!
