I wanted so badly to have some prints of yours...but alas, civilization is a bummer. <br />Ah, I understand completely about 'leaving' evidence that there are those of us who would love to see the establishment overrun by 'Mother Nature' and her greenery. My brother, Troy Howell, children's books illustrator, author of 'The Dragon of Cripple Creek' illustrator of the American book jacket covers of the 'Redwall' series by Brian Jacques of England...alas...Brian passed away last spring. Anyway...my brother and I used to embellish small stones, during the Hippie Revolution/Flower Child Era and leave the stones EVERYWHERE! Just a magical something for someone to find on their journey through life. We even left them on benches in downtown Los Angeles for the homeless to find and rich people too...It was just a way of saying...imagination is still alive and well! Thank you for starting this 'revolution' of sorts with your 'image'. It is beautiful and very appropriate.<br />may you have a blessed weekend and week!<br />=^..^=<br />Teresa from California<br />http://amagicalwhimsy.blogspot.com/A Magical Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473478545205572098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-54705048075202315732012-02-11T11:32:26.275+00:002012-02-11T11:32:26.275+00:00Thank you for this wonderful gift!

A I was eager to see your symbol after hearing about it and your motivation for creating it....what a perfect image for these changing times! Your picture is 2011 in a nutshell, encapsulating a spirit which we must carry forward to feed our roots with rememberings so our shoots can reach for the skies! <br /><br />It feels like these times are about reuniting with one another and with the earth, and we have seen how powerful we are when we are united by common values. The idea of sneaking this evocative symbol into the grey corners of everyday of capitalism reminds me of the Hari Krishna with their 'GORANGA' stickers....sowing seeds of peace, love and connectedness. We humans have proved ourselves powerful in many ways, now is the time to prove ourselves wise.....time to evolve and regain harmony.<br /><br />Every little helps!
