This Is my Heaven
When I die I hope that there is a shaft of light that takes me right into the center of a cherry tree as full bloom as this one! I'm cheating here since this was taken last year. But it still takes my breath away. (you must click for a better sniff) The trees are blooming here and spring is in full effect. The feeling of positivity is prevailing around the warehouse and it does indeed feel like a fresh start. 
There's even hope in the news these days. With the election year upon us I'm feeling like John (Lennon that is) might actually be smiling down on us from his cherry tree in the sky. Who knows... maybe this century will surprise us all.
The blooming tree just takes my breath away, too. So lovely. No spring in sight here in Northern OH, but we do have "positivity".
Uhh, Ananhata, wouldn't John be standing in a strawberry field.....forever?

It's supposed to be 85 here in Dallas today and I'm starting to feel we might just skip spring and go right to summer. Thanks for the goregous spring pics!

Imagine......
This is the happiest I've been in such a long time, thanks to the inspiration of artists like you, muses willing to share their art and spirituality. You've given me such hope by rekindling my creative spirit. This post is just beautiful.
