Family Day

What an extraordinary family with a world of travels, compassion and narratives embedded in our hearts.

You mean more to me than you can ever imagine.

My goodwill and spirit carry you over uneven pathways.

 Your hands reach out to pull me back - to hear, feel and see the blithe of life.

Our zestful demeanour conjures up fulfillment and magnetizes laughter.

 Joyfully we walk the extra mile.

We hereby propose a toast:

To entrusted partners for entranced safekeeping of our labyrinth -

HAPPY FAMILY DAY!

Philosophy

The Professor of Philosophy takes his time to formulate two questions for the final examination.

Question 1. Identity theft.

Question 2. The hole is too deep to dig myself out.

Eagerly he pages through the essays at the end of the exam period.

One student has little to say.

Answer 1. Dear Ingenious Thief. I consider myself one lucky guy that you of all people found my frivolous identity online. I die to know how that works for you. 

Answer 2. Professor, keep digging and you might strike oil.

This final year student scored 100%.

Treasure hunting with Cupid

Look at Cupid!  See how he holds a bow in arrow in his hands? The well-known figure sets us up for treasure hunting on Valentine’s Day.

Native to South Africa is the arum lily, known for its pure white nature and yellow splendid. The wild growing lilies known as pig’s ears in African valleys has been cultivated in Britain and Ireland as Easter lilies and is the national flower of Saint Helena. The Green Goddess, Red Desire and Pink Mist are variations to the arrow shaped white lilies. Finding a freshly cut bunch of lilies in Catherine Wright Designs, one of Cupid’s arrows sure hits the target.

Beware the one who ends up without a box of chocolates on treasure hunting Valentine’s Day! In the heart of Stratford downtown Rheo Thompson Candies offers a wide selection of richly flavored chocolates in exquisite gift boxes and beautifully gift-wrapped.

For the special, unpredictable moment Cupid always saves an arrow. Inside every wallet, between the plastic cards and coins one often finds a memory – a picture that captures every moment that adds up to this treasure hunting for love day. A picture that inspires and reminds, a picture that says Cupid is here to stay.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

February

Natural Ice Art

The heart of February is snow white against the barren blackened trunks of the leafless winter. Weather forecasts rapidly change from clear skies to whiteouts with sheets of black ice on pavements and roads. Contrary to desire snowfalls from unconformable clouds leave front doors stuck and windows gilded with iced mosaic.

Temperatures festoon between record lows and health care providers guard the escalating conditions of winter victims feeling sad or despondent. Winter has the dramatic quality of a ballade, offering an array of colors, forms, and movements with a high quality of execution.

The month of February is an interactive theater, a snow-white against the barren black open gallery without an entrance fee.
