Understanding is the key to knowledge
that is what seperates us from animals & plants
We do not alwasy feel good ….....because we think…..* I think*

No plants and animals have one over on us…they just are.:=> and when we think..well.. we feel good.. when we think not so well we feel bad.. so I must look at this today and make a decision.. tough feel like a rock and a hard place.!

This one is brilliant, Lina. I love the use of color and form to display an idea. Very creative, original, and beautiful.

Beautiful image and quote (I love Carl Sagan’s writings – have all his books and met him once at his house) We think, but animals still depend on their instincts alone, we have let our thinking take over because we assumed it meant we were better, but we have lost something special as a result, and look what a mess we’ve made with our grand inventions! Thinking, understanding and creating is wonderful but it should be balanced with intuition, instinct and conciousness…

I so agree; the brain is like a muscle; and looking after the brain is just as important as looking after the body. The body and the soul are essential components that work together.
