[I Have A Dream]

1. Wow, it looks like a fantasy painting.

Very nice! :D

On edit: I think that I see some fairies hidden in there! :wow:      ;)

2. Do you see the beaver?

He's swimming. Took me awhile to see it and figure out wtf are the bubbles.

ps. It is hard to believe it isn't a composite. Are you referring to the three people in the bushes? That really looks edited?

3. Beautiful!

And what serendipity to clap eyes on your thread title, Dover. Last night I was doing a little jewelry work and realized that a bracelet that I had made for myself a few years ago needed to be repaired. I had made several of these bracelets for my friends as well and had given them as Christmas presents. They're pewter chain-link bracelets, like charm bracelets, and I attached a bead and a pewter charm with a word on it--I bought a bag of these at a local craft store--they said things like "Laugh", "Trust", "Believe", etc. For each of the bracelets, I closed my eyes and picked a charm, and each time the word was relevant to the person I was making the bracelet for (including the one I made for myself--funny that I don't recall which word came out for me at the time...I think it was "Create"). Anyway, the bead and charm kept falling off my bracelet--I found them once, but they were gone for good the second time.

So it seemed the bracelet wanted to be fixed now, and I was interested in seeing what word was relevant to my life this time. I dug out the bag of charms, closed my eyes, and picked a new word. This time what came out was "Inspire."

PERFECT for me at this point in my life. I wore the bracelet today and have been meditating off and on about "inspire", especially how it also means "breathe".

Hee. :hi:

4. How tranquil. I would love to hop on that little boat and take a ride.

P.S. spelling edit.

5. Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream

merrily, merrily, merrily. merrily

Life is but a dream.
