Life is a gift to be used every day,
Not to be smothered and hidden away;
It isn't a thing to be stored in the chest
Where you gather your keepsakes and treasure your best;
It isn't a joy to be sipped now and then
And promptly put back in a dark place again.
Life is a gift that the humblest may boast of
And one that the humblest may well make the most of.
Get out and live it each hour of the day,
Wear it and use it as much as you may;
Don't keep it in niches and corners and grooves,
You'll find that in service its beauty improves.
Thanks Hedda... my good friend Jack Healy had the picture commissioned.... I have visited the refugee camps on the Thailand border a few years back... we work for human rights around the world.... Jack used to be the president of Amnesty International in the USA and we worked together on many concerts events over the years... this is one person that we greatly support... I think the picture is great... send it far and wide...
Hi Hedda, I enjoy your beautiful work as well.
I am not a Digital Artist since I never use computers to create art and I just got my first computer recently, but I express myself through most other mediums.
Cheers, Raul
It would be great to get an introduction to Sprint... wow... thanks for thinking of that... we just had an incredible day yesterday at Google... we did a very large presentation to their entire world community... talking about wow...
no problem linking your website if you think it is appropriate... we are off pitching our film project today and things look good for Architects... send good vibes our way... this is actually a big deal today..
Look forward to getting to know you... but it will probably be next week...
Hedda!
I'm truly amazed to see your artwork! Marvelous! I'm looking forward to see some more.
Also thank you so much for joining the group.
Much blessings, love and harmony for you. Silja

GLAD that I live am I;
That the sky is blue;
Glad for the country lanes,
And the fall of dew.
After the sun the rain;
After the rain the sun;
This is the way of life,
Till the work be done.
All that we need to do,
Be we low or high,
Is to see that we grow
Nearer the sky.
