ILLUSTRATED THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

As promised, here is another Chinese proverb. Have a good week.

Emerging Sunflower Video

I have redone the sunflower slideshow. The first one was to work out the mechanics; this one is to enjoy.

Sunflower Slideshow with Music

I just completed this slideshow showing development of my sunflower mandalas and array. I used iamges with low resolution which makes it come out fuzzy; and the automatic editing software, while amazing leaves something to be desired. Still this shows the potential, and I will expand on this. I have been waiting 40 years for this technology.

I set this to a beautiful version of Greensleeves by Mason Williams of Classical Gas fame.

This is a collection of Einstein quotes. I had put one of his with a flower design on Zazzle and had it taken off for copyright infringement. I tried afterward to get permission from the copyright holder, but was told that I couldn't afford it. So I cannot offer these for sale, but I can use them for these free postings as long as I give the credit.

One of my biggest themes is a unity of science and spirituality, and a number of Einstein quotes fit nicely into that frame. I hope you find them as inspirational as I do.

ILLUSTRATED THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

One of our residents has put up a scrap of paper by her bed with the words "no excuses". I made up this sheet for her so that she would have a choice of color and font. The symbol of the butterfly says no excuse for crawling around like a caterpillar.

To me it is encouraging that a lady with her disabilities wants to give herself this daily reminder. Let's all fly through this week on butterfly wings.

This was posted by a friend on facebook today. It is more the spirit we need this weekend. Bravo Budwieser.

Dr Lea Quote

There is a naturopath here in Tucosn, Dr Lea, who posted this on facbook this morning. It is well said.

Rather than focusing on prevention, our "health-care system" is primarily a disease-care system. The unspoken message has generally been to ignore prevention: wait until it’s broken and then seek out the “magic bullet” or drug to cover up our symptoms. Or if that doesn’t work, cut it out. This is a severely defective and expensive approach, one that is threatening the welfare of a growing number of American households. Some 54 million Americans will go without health insurance this year alone.



Americans now spend over $250 billion a year on prescription drugs – more than all the people in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom combined!



When it comes to your health care, the best bargain, hands down, is prevention of disease through a healthy lifestyle – diet, exercise, stress reduction, healthy habits, and nutritional supplementation.

Time to Say Goodbye

A friend recently posted this on facebook. This song by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman is one of my all time favoites. It is sure to give chills.

ILLUSTRATED THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

This thought came to me this week as I was studying a newely created mandala array. It can have other versions such as:
I am not the writer, I am the pen.
I am not the composer, I am the scribe.
