Wow! It would be nice to see thew world like a bird!! Not wishing, just saying, but I am willing to wait..
Now if there are any other image that can say this, it is this one! Very good shot, the quotes very well goes with the shot.
And if there is something that needs water, it is this one. Looks forlorn...nice illustration of a cause.
Everything lives and life is everything...that is what this place is for -- to help give life, to live, to discover other lives other than ours, etc., even a carrot is alive, is a life, has a life.
So true...everyone needs somebody.
Nicely quoted along with a good bird shot.
Very nice soliloquy .
It is human nature for some to feel superior because of colour. It is wrong we know, but there are people who feels good doing it, expressing it so and making the other feel small. It is how the other person feels -- if s/he allows it to be so.
Nandy, people like Stevie Wonder, if you have heard of him, do not know he is black until someone told him so. He could have had of yellow or blue for all he cares. I had not seen a black person, really black skin, until I was about 18 or so, but I have always been told to stay out of the sun so my skin will not be black. I always thought everyone around me are white (but not caucasian, just have white skin) because I always want to go out no matter what the weather conditions would be, especially in the sunshine. Then I was told my skin is actually brown. It feels like the world collapse under me. I was about 7 years old at the time. All my relations, including my brother have white skin. I was different, even if we both have the same parents. Only my father and me are/were brown skinned. People around me says it is a "working class" skin colour. Somewhere underneath Stevie Wonder is a talent for something else: music. Each of us have a talent and goodness despite having different skin colour. Find it, know it and be proud of it. It is not skin colour that makes a man -- it is our character.
Sorry for the late response and lengthy. I went in yesterday but all the pictures that I saw were small boxes. And sorry about being sensitive to skin colour -- because I happened to be discriminated because of it.
