"Time Waits For No One" by StarKatz

When you lose someone close you realise then that time is precious, time can’t be paused, rewound when we feel like it, it is now, right this moment, time waits for no one. Having lost both parents within 2 years of each other I often regret time, not the fact I had it, but the fact it was wasted. Regardless of how a person is or who that person is, time is here momentarily, do you know what time it is for you and your loved ones? Maybe this image will help you reflect, perhaps it will help you understand, is there a message here for you?

Children of the Lens by Julie Marks

This bark art was photographed with a macro lens. To appreciate the imagery, please view this in the large format. The Velantians inhabit the third planet of the star Velantia. Their planet, also called Velantia is earthlike in all major respects. Velantians are telepathic, and can project their thoughts even to non telepathic races over enormous distances. Their brilliant and complex minds, their ability to withstand high gravitational stresses and accelerations and their advanced scientific knowledge make them well suited to interstellar exploration and contact. This fascinating race has been studied by Dr. E.E. “Doc” Smith who refers to these extraordinary creatures as “Children of the Lens” due to their powers of exceptional telepathy. Early in their development, the Velantians were enslaved by Delgonians, the second planet in their system. The Delgonians, also telepathic, fed on the life force of Velantians. In an age-long struggle to break free of the Delgon Overlords, the Velantians develped their physical and mental sciences in secret, until they finally discovered an effective mind shield. When Delgon control was broken by the shield, the Velantians built interplanetary ships and fought a savage war and in the end they destroyed the brutal Delegonians. Dr. Smith has reported communicating telepathically with this species to develop earthling’s capacity to construct a strong mind shield to ward off nuclear wars given the proliferation of weapons of destruction that could potentially wipe out our civilization in the same manner that Velantians utterly destroyed their terrorist alien enemies.

My little Tammy once again, happy as can be with her imaginary friend.. Is there a magic a parent just can’t see going on in the mind of a 2.3mth year old?
