WHAT IS MAN WITHOUT THE BEASTS? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected. ~Chief Seattle VISIT MY GALLERY
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
- Hermes
"Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity."

This is wonderful. I like the simple elegance and the contrast between the sweeping lines and the detailed "sparks". It doesn't feel joyous to me though - more sad if anything. Calm, accepting sadness. (This might have something to do with just having watched 'Vera Drake' on TV, but still.) Actually, what it really suggests to me are joyous masks hiding their wearers' true feelings of sadness. As though a bunch of sad people have donned carnival masks to hide their feelings and are determined to dance and move as though full of joy.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.
