Great image very Dali like. Intersting questions they remind me of a line from a Tom Wait's song. "If god is great and god is good why can't he change the hearts of men?"
Gorgeous image and provocative and thoughtful commentary. V.

Jolie image, je lirai le texte plus tard, là je suis flemmard !
Et puis, j'aimerai la même photo, sans le "2009" en-dessous, je sais, je suis un peu chiant comme mec, lollll !
Happy new year to you ! Did you receive my words by email ?!
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
May your wishes come true, Claudia! For all our sake.
Best wishes to you and yours for a 2009 filled with joy and love.
Tough days are coming, right words to get all of us thinking how to live and act accordingly.
Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and healthy New Year, Claudia.
mega thanx for sharing YOUr heart's care HERE... & many on pbase & innn our world TRUE~ly should read & embrace ALLL :):):) 17 windy city AAAHHHvationzzz with cladddgah care :):):) as my native maericna greats say, "mitake oyasin" & like my celtic greats say, "cead mille failte" alwayzzz dream~~~dare~~~dive as THE AUTHENTIC GIFT YOU ARE :):):)
Well said and may God listen and give us hope. We are in hard times and I don't think they'll be getting better any time soon. I keep looking up to God, that is the only place I find complete solace. And, pray for our world, our leaders and those that can make a change for the better be allowed to do so. I agree with your sentiments and understand, but humans are greedy and when in power can be very dangerous. Perilous times indeed are ahead if it continues the way it has.
Apart from that, I want to say Happy New Year and pray that God blesses you beyond measure!! For only He can bring us altogether if only we will be quiet and listen. God Bless you this year, Claudia! Love ya!

Love the image and what you had to say. Have a very happy new year.
Well done Claudia!
I love the tone of your spirit that shines through those words and I hope we can all enjoy more of your pieces of art in this coming year that will for sure bring you some very good things.
Say no more !
You really kicked ass!
Hope anyone takes the time to read it,and if not they should be kicked in the ass as well!
Taking photographs of beautiful whatever,means a responsability to that whatever.
Not only talk about it,but to take it and try to educate the idiots in this world what is responsability.
Well spoken Claudia!

Dear Mathilda,
Thank You so much for your comment...
I have added this to the text...thanks to you ;).
** By blow i mean an awakening, not a physical attack.
For example, if we were to STOP putting our money in the bank (yeah sure)
the "bankers" would perhaps pay attention to better serve our needs in a
decent and reasonable way for both parties. Think about this and be creative.
That is what i mean by "blow".
Actions that would make those deciders go...ehm, perhaps we went too far, it is
time we become more faire towards the ones who makes us live...
I don't believe in violence. But something that will shake them enough
so they "wake-up" and SEE what their actions are doing to others. A bit
like the "scrooge" story around this time of year.
I won't hold my breath though...
Happy New year Claudia. I salute your beautiful image, your clearly well-thought-out declaration. Just one thing (and I did read all the way to the end):
"I wish a serious blow, just big enough
Would happen to the deciders/controllers/manipulators of this world
from any walk of life and at any level"
I have lived long enough, and been dealt hard enough blows to know that one should be careful what one wishes for. This blow, dealt to "the deciders/controllers/manipulators of this world", might affect someone you dearly love. It might be your mother, your husband, your child. It might be aimed at the manipulators, the controllers, but inadvertently, many many more will be affected by it. They will be called the "collateral damage". The innocent bystanders. I know this for certain, because someone I loved was "collateral damage", an "innocent bystander in the wrong place at the wrong time". And it changed nothing. Because it is the nature of human beings not to learn from costly mistakes.
So, while I salute your sentiment, I also fervently wish that no blow will be dealt, because it will break a mother's heart, somewhere. Or a father's, a brother's, a child's heart.
Mathilda
marvellous over time image and serious deep declaration
c'è bisogno di anima nella vita, noi tutti abbiamo bisogno di più anima ed un sorriso.
un sincero augurio di serenità

A wonderful image to bring in 2009. I do so agree with your hopes and wishes for the peoples of this world. Let us hope that at least some of them become reality.
