The power of flowers

  


Wild art at its purest!

 

Everyone knows the regular art forms that can often be found in museums like paintings, sculptures, …

Although really loving these, I'm also very much drawn to lesser known ones.

Have you ever heard of Skullmapping, shadowology, beach art, infinity rooms, … ?

These are just some of my favourite alternative art forms.

And now I've discovered a new one: foliage art!

 

 

Do you have a minute ... or two?

 


 


Each of the following stories takes only 2 minutes to read.

What Are You Doing Today, Mother Nature?

This title intrigued me and so I requested this children's picture book at Netgalley.

When opening it for the first time, I was in awe for the beautiful pictures.

Goodreads songs

 


Don't get me wrong, I love Goodreads.
Well, at least I love the fact that thanks to this website I get to know people from all around the world who share the same passion for reading!

My Goodreads-friends give me daily inspiration and I want to say a big 'Thank you!' to them all 😉

 

 

But if you're on Goodreads too, you'll probably know that sometimes there can be a glitch.

And that this website doesn't take its users seriously.

For example by totally ignoring the feedback they gave about the new layout of the book pages.

 

In the past Claudia and I already wrote several lyrics.

Time to bundle them in one place and to add a new one for the latest blunder.

These words were first written by novelist and playwright Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839, in his historical play Cardinal Richelieu.

After the terroristic attack on Charlie Hebdo in France in January 2015, we heard them a lot.

Time to use them again now for our friends in Ukraine!

The perfect moment to cheer up the people around you by telling them nice things!

You can do it verbally, but you could also try following original idea 😉

 

 

 

Let's talk about …

 

... TED, an organization devoted to spreading ideas.

Usually in the form of short but inspiring TED Talks, which only require between 5 and 20 minutes of your time.

The boy who loved the moon

 



What a marvellous short story!

It can be read in book form, but you can also watch the gorgeous animation movie on which it's based.
