People...

People need people

From the richest to the poorest

It doesn’t matter who you are

There is always going to come a day

When you will need someone

Be it to listen to you, to cheer you up

Or to just stand by you!

Be good!

The forest and I...

I have always loved the forest! 

It's full of tranquility and amazing beauty

Teeming with life in every direction,

Be it tiny ants, or the great big tree

All living together in harmony.

She...

She is untamed, never been conquered

She rules her own world

She is the master of herself

She writes her own destiny

She is indeed a woman

Arima Valley

"A view from the veranda this morning" 

There is something mystical about the forest in the mornings,

Inviting us to its unique and enchanting beauty.

It’s the core of our being,

Supplying our every breath.

Be good,

Crossroads

Have you ever been standing alone at the crossroads?

Wondering which direction holds your destiny,

What would happen if you choose the wrong path?

Will you be lost forever?

Or will your destiny be redirected?

This is me, this is where I am,

The world waits patiently, as I make my decisions…

Be good, even though it’s hard at times!

Believe...

As the sun shines there is faith

As the wind blows there is peace
As the bird sings there is hope
As the baby smiles there is joy
As the people embrace there is love

This is one of my favorite pieces, I was surprise at how quickly it came to me in just a matter of minutes!  It is something we all experience some time in our life...

Be good!

"Dolphins"

"Dolphins"

I have always loved using my hands, be it for gardening, painting or just simply admiring my rings : )

So, over the last few years I've been carving these "Dolphins", which comes from the seed capsule of the Sandbox tree (Hura crepitans). The capsules looks like tangerines, as it ripens it bursts open with an explosive sound and the seeds are scattered. You can find lots of them on the forest floor, I use my army knife to carefully cut out the excess matter in the middle, and then I put a hole at the top, which will be the eye. Next I use some sandpaper to get a smooth finish, finally I dip it in some varnish.
