As I finished finals, I am burned-out, but smiling. Here is an artist that came across my way, Berndnaut Smilde, a cloud-creator, rainbow-maker of the real-ist kind (click the pic):

Be sure to check out the “installation” that was done in Ireland (should be #11 under his works category); I love it for being in two places at one time…. “spaces that exist to be in between” : )

My parents are a prime example of this: they may (look like they) drive each other nuts, but would in reality go quite crazy without the other. All relationships have their balance, and when you truly love someone you strive to maintain it, if it is what you really want. Here’s to that! : )

“Either there are no illusions or everything is an illusion, and given that we are pretty much all delusional, you might as well choose your delusion.” –Beau Lotto

This just in from my hometown of Bad Reichenhall, Germany: snow in April for Easter!
Before any butchering of the pronunciation commences, please copy and paste the city name into Google Translate and take a listen (it’s really not a “Bad” as it appears!) : )
As I sat on the 80*+ patio and received these pictures, I realized how fortunate I am to be sweltering rather than shoveling! Beautiful photos, and they definitely make me long for long hikes through the mountains, the crisp forest air, the beauty of the magnificent & towering “Schlafende Hexe” (the mountain pictured), and the people who are dear to me who live there. It’d definitely be difficult to find an easter egg in that snow!

“Disturbing emotions not only disturb our own state of mind, they also disturb the minds of others. Self-centredness gives rise to fear and insecurity, which in turn creates distrust. This is why having an altruistic attitude brings a great sense of happiness and peace of mind.”
-Dalai Lama
Let’s do our best to keep things peaceful, and our words impeccable.

Happy & safe Easter weekend everyone!
