the things i read in the news and i do not refer to the mainstream journalism either. why is we teach our children to respect others, to repsect our elders, teachers, friends, family, further extol the virtues of honesty, decency, so they can grow up and be responsible, peaceful adults…and yet…all this violence and destruction with humans being the primary cause… best to just read this. interesting i think.

Wow, Helene. This is a fantastic artwork. Great idea to paint it on wood. The tortured expression on her face is very touching. Great to see how she is giving birth to a new and spiritual life. Yeah, don’t want to stay here too long. 72, 73 … then I am off.

Such an srtrong presence..
Mother giving birth to Man..
out of waters and a miraculous pumping heart..
All spreaded…arms and brain..
to a heaven where she was born….
outof another miracle…LIFE…
I am glad that you could feel the essence of your core i this…super human earth…I love everthing of it… It is spiritual..as a mediaeval cathedral….her branches are going up in her head meaning that “She” is not irrational force but and Intelligence giving name and light to all being. It is impressive the way the new born face is getting born out of her “womb”...may be I will get near a tree… today and stand close to the trunk…just tofeel the motherly strengh.
