Andre so sweetly and beautifully summarizes what we’ve been meditating on all week: Japan and,for me, just as much, Libya’s massacre. Thank you.
Juanita says
Lovely, indeed.
andre says
yes it seems this is very much a week to listen
Stan Horst says
Thank you, Andre, for your thoughtful doodles. It is interesting how so much of life is cyclical in nature, and your doodle points that out nicely. Today with the warmer weather, I plan to take time on my bench to listen.

we are all nature
Jazmine says
Could anyone not be moved by what is happening in our world today? The bench as a metaphor for our world. Beautiful…
Dirty Girl Gardening says
I agree with Andre… a perfect listening week.
Vanessa says
I would love a poster of this drawing. Lovely.
Margaret says
Welcome to Stan, Jazmine, Dirty Girl, Vanessa. Glad that you added your voices to the conversation. I raked more yesterday and it was therapeutic; so grateful to the garden and to all of you here.

I can see our grass!
we do have grass!
our dog – so confused by grass still hunts down the last bits of snow to do ‘business’ on.

Andre I absolutely love the bench doodle. I have an amazing picture of a bench that looks out over the Napa Valley. A place I go to find a little peace and solitude from my corporate life. Your words fit perfectly.
Margaret says
Welcome, Cyndi. Your bench sounds like the perfect spot. Lucky you. Hope we see you soon again here, and thanks for saying hello.

Welcome, Erica. Andre is always there for me (for us!) with poignant (and sometimes naughty, in appropriate times) messages. We are here and look forward to your next visit.
