The Universe Is Smiling: "Vacation"

Dear Visitor,

It's been a while since my last post. I was on vacation and family visit for the last three weeks in Germany and had hoped to continue posting from there, but the computers didn't comply. Now I am back and what came out in the first drawing - "vacation" - even though I was far from any palm trees :)

I hope that you have some time away from the troubles of this world and enjoy life in peace, the way it should be for all beings on this planet.

The Universe Is Smiling: "Radiance"

Q: What is today's wisdom?
A: Let your good energy shine through and make someone smile :)

"God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason."
 - Dag Hammarskjold
"Love whether newly born, or aroused from a deathlike slumber, must always create sunshine, filling the heart so full of radiance, that it overflows upon the outward world."
- Nathaniel Hawthorne
 "The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach is joy. There is radiance and glory in the darkness could we but see - and to see we have only to look."
- Fra Giovany Giocondo
