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.
