In Loving Memory

In loving memory

simple gesture, kind, humble
a trinket left on the children's bed, unannounced treasure
gentle soul
heart of gold

may you rest in peace


Mountains by C Moore age 11

This so reminds me of work by the group of seven!


Our hearts and prayers
to all those affected by the events in Japan

平和があなたと一緒に Heiwa ga anata to issho ni


An easy way to help with relief in Japan

Salvation Army: To contribute to earthquake relief, text 'JAPAN' or 'QUAKE' to 80888 to make a $10 donation or visit SalvationArmyUSA.org. Please note that text donations though easy usually take 30 to 60 days to move from carrier to releif organization. That said mobile donations were effective in raising over 32 million toward aid to Haiti in the 2010 earthquake.

Red Cross: Text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 from your phone. This will donate to the general Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, so if you want to ensure that it goes to Japan you'll have to donate from their Web site.

    Hard times indeed. A lovely tribute.

    That blue mountain picture is incredible and even more so when you realise the creator is 11 years old!

    Both sketches are wonderful. LOVE the eyes of the angel. SO real and touching. And wow....those mountains are amazing. Almost look like the ones I see every morning from my evening. :)

    Very heartbreaking to read and see what has happened and still happening in Japan. I really think it should make all of us think about our lives and where we live - and to stop taking things for granted. =/
