It is a matter of perspective, I think. <br /><br />I thank you.Beth Niquettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12123973998090266918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799450826638687314.post-60223106297258742382009-08-11T14:44:52.681-07:002009-08-11T14:44:52.681-07:00i had been away for a while, feeling more frail th...i had been away for a while, feeling more frail than ever - now i am recovering from illness, and i just want to let my soul sail away in one of your wondrous boats - closing my eyes, sleeping, dissolving into that one ray of light which makes the night seem everything. surrendering, as you say. i am not able to say more right now, but i am in the boat. in that red, blue and gold as well.Roxanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650840495095863057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799450826638687314.post-21423512481993646792009-08-11T09:17:35.744-07:002009-08-11T09:17:35.744-07:00Magnificent!Magnificent!Kirigalpoththahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173002776907882231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799450826638687314.post-6223626017830171752009-08-09T09:29:50.447-07:002009-08-09T09:29:50.447-07:00Each of us is truly an ant in this big world.

Debs statement:<br /><br />"years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free."<br /><br />a hard pill to swallow for our times of glorified individualism, isn't itManuelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14683398966448238779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799450826638687314.post-30229819758991016302009-08-06T04:24:11.043-07:002009-08-06T04:24:11.043-07:00you images are so beautiful ~like the processing
