So much ancient creativity in this warring world…I’m worn out from seeing so much beauty.

Well, with these northern lights decorating the skies, we are hoping they will not affect other areas – communications and so on.

I guess I am thinking about the wonders of our universe and planet and feel we must have respect for what it can do.

The universe is always conspiring to help us, if we only trust its wisdom – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Oh, how we wish that those in power would trust the universe, which we believe wants us to live with one another in peace. Okay, okay, that’s pretty simplistic, whatever that is, but seriously, folks, look at the HUGE effort and expense it takes to throw a WAR and wipe out thousands of anthros in a few miliseconds!

But today, I’m leaving this thought for my poubelle/my giant virtual garbage can!

The morning is too sweet as I soar over Rome and see what incredible beauty was created by anthros, who chose marble and magnificence over marauding! At least a few did…

Michelangelo, for one. Bernini, Caravaggio, need I list more?undefined

The Sistine Chapel art of Michelangelo

This little elephant is close to where we stay in Rome. It may have been done by Bernini’s assistant, but do we care? He certainly must have overseen the work!!
