Thank you, Lana! : ) : ) Haha- macaroons, coming right up. For real, I can't stop making them and eating them and sharing them. LOL. I don't know what it means except the universe loving me through an easy recipe and the universe loving others because I make so many, I have to share them so I don't eat them all!!!!!!!!

Artist Jeannie,

The paint brush of your pen and the color of your words draw me into the canvas of your imagination. Like you, I become the parachutist, skater, baker and witness to life. I want to do it again!

King Solomon paints an entirely different picture, yet, paradoxically identical picture in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 "To every thing there is a season, a time to every purpose under the heaven:....A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance....a time to keep and a time to cast away...."

Thank you for bringing a modern Seeing Upside Down perspective to King Solomon's similar observations a thousand years ago.

Please embrace your pen and brush for me; they bring me JOY.

Thanks for the joy,

Duke

Duke, your joy is my joy. Thank you for the creative way you described this with the paint brush, color, and canvas- wow. <3 It makes me smile and realize that's how it felt writing this one- pattern with flow, like painting. That is a beautiful reference from a sacred text too. Thank you.
