Reflections On Family

Mother's personality : Warm, embracing like islands in sun.
Daring, lively and energetic. Everyone adores Mother for her
sweetness of temper and girlish laughter.

Father's personality : An intellectual cheesecake.
Father thinks body is seperate from the soul and
Mother keeps body and soul together like a family.
Sister is blinded by youth and luxury. In her world, the body is
for others to gaze at like a supermodel swanning down the runway. She is yet to discover its soul.

Brother is a philosopher and poet. He does not see body seperate from soul; he embraces the whole. During a philosophical discussion on the eternal feminine, childbirth and the soul. He once said to Father: Human life begins within the womb; the body and soul are forever related; like twins.

Am still thinking about my brother's words. Today I'm reading, eating cheeries in nature, listening to music and nurturing my mind. Have a nice week, everyone. Hope you are all enjoying summer!

The Shoe Sculpture By David Gerstein


Read more about David Gerstein HERE. The piece above is called 'The Lady' - I was besotted with this shoe sculpture at an exhibition in Paris recently and thought it would be a wonderful addition to my ever-expanding art collection. The fact that it's made of metal makes it all the more alluring. Don't you just adore the detailing, colours and all those butterflies!
