I seem to have had some difficulty with choosing titles lately…but as I was taking my walk this morning I was listening (on my Ipod) to a favourite speaker of mine. He was talking about living life fully….not being wishy washy or luke warm. It was a very inspirational talk and I got a lot from it. A phrase that came out of it was that we, as children of God have ‘permission to flourish’, to be colourful…to add colour and flavour to life. I was reminded of a speech (well, part of it) that Nelson Mandella once gave, quoting Marianne Williamson: “Lest we forget.” Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. / Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. / It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. / We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? / Actually, who are you NOT to be? / You are a child of God. / Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. / There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking, / so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. / We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. / It’s not just in some of us; it’s in EVERYONE! / And as we let our own light shine, / we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. / As we are liberated from our own fear, / our presence automatically liberates others. / Nelson Mandella A few comments have been made about this image…very helpful ones too. Thank you to everyone who was kind enough to leave them. Some words that leapt out to me from them were…Nurturing, covering & protection…..My dear friend Brian queried the lines and boxes that I added at the bottom of this image…and I understand what he’s saying….but the human brain is a fascinating thing…and I realise now that I probably was adding something to the image to stabilise it…. YET, NO!....sometimes it’s way too easy for me/us to live ‘within the box’ I/we create for ourselves….keeping within the comfort zone so to speak. The contrast between being trapped in the daily grind and being free to flourish and grow is huge. / May you escape the confines of life and flourish and grow more each day :-) / Blessings to you all.

I am the curving branch dancing in the wind, I am the drop of dew clinging to the tip of a delicate leaf, I am the firm bolder upon which fertile earth has gathered and into which creep the roots of a mighty pine. I am the rustling leaves and the autumn breeze. I am the silence that surrounds me and flows through me. I am the path; I am the wanderer, and I am the journey. Also available as a T-Shirt design.

Update 06 December 2009 Important NOTICE / / I want the option of turning off the “share” features on RedBubble. / To say this new feature is annoying is an understatement, especially since it was recently added without my knowledge or agreement. / On another subject: I discovered today a “social bookmarking site for pictures” ..... An extension allows someone to post an image to their account by right clicking on it.” / / At the bottom of the page there is a tab which asks / “Do you have any questions, bug reports or wishes?” / So, I clicked on that and reported my request for my images to be removed. Any tips on preventing this? I thought we had right/click protection on this site! / / Occasionally, depending upon how busy I am, I search for myself on the internet using various search engines available. It is always interesting to see what appears, what is unrelated to me, and what is attached to my name, and I have learned to be wary and careful of which websites to open, for there are some in other countries which actually are more like land mines raising all manner of red flags with my computer security software. / / Even so, I conducted a search today, a rather extensive search using my name and certain keywords. And I discovered this webpage with my image, along with many other photographers and artists. I can tell you I am very upset that so many people on the internet so blatantly ignore my copyright notice. This member does not have my permission to reproduce my image in their collection of “Favourites”. It is outrageous that we have no control over our imagery and how it is copy/pasted, downloaded/shared ….... / / You may wish to have a look at this webpage to see if your images are here as well. Some I recognise from artists here on RedBubble and some look very familiar. I am sending a request for the website to delete and immediately remove my copyrighted work/s from their site. It does not matter to me that this person links my image back to my RedBubble site, I do not like the share feature and seeing my imagery on another website without my prior written authorization. As a member of RedBubble we should have the option of whether or not we wish to share our content. / / You may open this link to view the images this person has “collected” and gleaned from the internet. / vi.sualize.us / / Here is the code for the my image, which is completely different from my own image, found in the properties of the “shared” image. / http://img1.visualizeus.com/thumbs/09/04/02/beach,beauty,ocean,sea,torrent-c2ee3bfa23547fb2d111613f9d9b23bf_h.jpg / / As clearly stated on the front page of my portfolio:* / I own full and exclusive copyrights on all my photographs, digital art and images on this website and they are protected under International Copyright laws.
