Today, being February 2, the second day of the new month and this is a great day inspite of all the recent problems happening all around us. I was thinking about nature this afternoon as i was working on this Osprey painting. Animals are so unique, they care for their families, not spending too much time regretting their decisions or wondering about things that don't matter--they focus and take care of teaching and raising their young, the young cygnets grow up, then they taech their young the life lessons and the cycle of life moves from generation to generation.
Are we making too much noise about the wrong things? If we ignore our neighbors plight or miss a strnager's smile is something wrong? What is this picture saying, can we hear that sound?
Last weel a friend of ours sent some beautiful images to enjoy and then I remembered my father's beautiful video of Osprey eagles when he and my mother were in British Columbia many years ago, like a moment in time, then i remembered a beautiful image of two adult Osprey eagles feeding their 3 young cygnets, and here you can see today's painting called. "the fish blessing."
I'd like to wish Marge, my very loving wife, my family, and all families, a better day, focusing on the key and importatnt aspects f our lives. My wish is to be able to travel to many beautiful places with Marge collecting nuggets for more art work, as we age like beautiful trees, in the sun and warmth loving one another. I love to paint, not because I'm a great artist, but beacause I love. Many of you are great at your God given blessing too, so you can realet to my story. We are each gifted differently, God is awesome spreading out his gifts, like the stars in the heavens, not one the same. I have a sacred stone plaque that accidently got broken, maybe we're all broken come to think about it, but the great news is the stone is going back together, each piece as intended, to become whole once again. We love first, the rest, well is just that, we can not go wrong in love, and as we approach Valentine's Day--spread the word and your heart will be whole full of wnder!!
Peace be yours, mostly with love from Jimmy and Marge
