What is currently on your mind?

I am tempted to try this one,
"Tree of life," I would call it.

Would have to add green leaves though.

The "flower of life" is a basic geometric pattern that's been used in lots of cultures for millennia (I think it's the New Age folks who call it that, but it long predates them). I don't attach any particular meaning to it except that it's a very neat pattern.

You can find a mould for the tree of life, although it depends how big you want it, I guess.

Thing is though, to make something or create something,

there will be a touch of one's personality in it,

just to have created something gives one satisfaction.

And there is no other identical anywhere.

I would say it is a part of you.

So, Mrs Paidiske, get your bucket and spade out. Haha.

That is true about creating! And my usual hobby in that vein is origami.

But perhaps I ought to take on a new challenge...

Had to look up origami, had no idea what it was.

Now I know

For example, I made these table centrepieces for a lunch a while ago:



(That's not the best photo, but it gives you some idea...)

Hope for the future at the appearence of the Messiah,

That tax collectors become origamists.

No more cold showers through the letterbox.

Cannot hardly wait

Wow, they look terrific.

 

[Paidiske]

Wow, they look terrific.

Thanks! They were a good holiday project.

@Paidiske, I love your comments on the patriarchy thread. You know your stuff! It's wonderful to witness. Don't change.

 

[Paidiske]

Thanks, Bella. Do feel free to weigh in in support!

I was waiting to see if my question would be answered.

You're more tactful on the subject than I am.

 

[Paidiske]

Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

I just find it so frightening that people look at all the evils in the world, and decide that everything would be better if only we deepened women's oppression. I don't even understand that thought process, tbh.

I knew it wouldn't happen.

There's that and the plea for a chance to do something they haven't convinced a suitor to permit. I can't put myself in someone's hands because I feel sorry for them or give them a level of responsibility they can't handle. That's reckless.

Our ideas of leadership moved beyond the archaic. Gone are the days of do as I say not as I do. You need more than that now. The majority don't have it. The ship has sailed. And if they're honest they're glad. They don't want the work. They want the spoils.

When I first clicked on the link a picture came up of some trees,
pretty simple motiv but I gave a feeling of being there.

It was so real with an autumn like tree and long shadows.
But when I went back to have another look,
it was gone.

Will have to give it another try later on.

Men are conquerors, women use their brain,
generally speaking.

Wow.. didn't expect tornado warnings in the middle of March.

We’ve had two days flirting with getting close to 70. Got a cool down coming so I would not be surprise if we don’t get a few.

Yeah yesterday was pushing 70 here too.

I guess north of Minnesota is expected to get 10 inches of snow tomorrow and us none.. whew.. glad we dodged that bullet. Also this somewhat explains the severe weather and tornadoes we experienced today.
