I'm certain we could find many more without much effort. I guess you could say we're all works of art!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937847762010497687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891179949997003543.post-65911312708616049122011-01-09T09:22:45.009-06:002011-01-09T09:22:45.009-06:00Hello Emily, er, I mean Jo. Beauty is Smiling Hear...Hello Emily, er, I mean Jo. Beauty is Smiling Heart. Or is it Smiling Heart is Beauty? Can't remember why which one had to cross the road...I too digress (can we get a new symbol for a smiling face besides the colon and parenthesis?)<br /><br />The photos are astounding. Both pairs. I'm dizzy by studying the big picture of how they've been paired. I treasure the sensation that tingles through my body now. Not just by seeing Andrea at Tissot's Ball or the extraordinary Reya by da Vinci, but how the two pair have come here and how we are moved by seeing them in a blog about PHI. And by thanking the universe for creating someone who could put such a complicated color on such a huge canvas with such eloquence and ease of touch.<br /><br />Oh Thank Heaven for thirteen/twenty one (7-11 aren't Fibonacci numbers) heheWinston Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660986634479086490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891179949997003543.post-75278509967680742402011-01-07T11:55:25.382-06:002011-01-07T11:55:25.382-06:00Hi Lizzy...thank you for stopping by and for your ...Hi Lizzy...thank you for stopping by and for your kind words. <br /><br />Yes, I's sure you would find the Fibonacci sequence in the pine cone, too...so amazingly beautiful, isn't it?Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937847762010497687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891179949997003543.post-72118742791895890002011-01-07T10:47:28.011-06:002011-01-07T10:47:28.011-06:00Lovely post Jo.

Politicians and legislators seem to move from a position of being connected to community, constituents, and caring, into a 'collective disconnect' after being in office for a time. What causes it and what can be done about it? <br /><br />Glad you liked the video. There are hundreds upon hundreds of clips out there on this subject, and I must have seen most of them before deciding on this one. Great general overview of the subject.<br /><br />Many thanks for your comments, Jan.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937847762010497687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891179949997003543.post-9637510089958063252011-01-07T09:26:45.775-06:002011-01-07T09:26:45.775-06:00Thank you, Vicki.

...Thank you, Reya (the co-star of my blog today)! <br /><br />I think you may have visited while I was still tinkering with the word puzzle in my head, so my thoughts may come across a little better now (or maybe not).<br /><br />I agree that beauty is visceral, and I too, am nourished by it. I wasn't blessed with the ability to create great art, but I am blessed with the disposition to recognize it and appreciate it!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937847762010497687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891179949997003543.post-60899745039110717712011-01-07T07:37:44.767-06:002011-01-07T07:37:44.767-06:00Beautiful post, seriously, Jo.

I love this blog.<br /><br />Beauty feeds me; I take it in at a visceral level. Sometimes beauty is so powerful I want to fall on my knees, sometimes beauty strengthens me and makes me stand taller. I'm lucky to be so "well fed" with beauty. It is all around me. You know that Indian chant, yes? 'Beauty before me, beauty behind me, beauty to my left side, beauty to my right side, beauty above me, beauty below me, I have beauty surrounding my life.'<br /><br />Thank you for this.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.com
