Description "Lesson II: It is a big mistake (and it always happens to every angelic beginner) if he tries to move by handwings during his start. This is not the right way to fly. It needs to stay still. It needs to breathe deeply. To do our mind not to turn a hair. To move up our head. To think of just one matter : I WANT TO FLY ! ............ Viola !!! and handwings will begin to move by themselves, powered by invisible FAITHPOWER." by Peter Burda ( )

Thanks to all who left such kind comments on 1 down 6.000.000.000 to go. Meant alot Hope you can relate to this one also.
Today grandma gets buried. I've bought some flowers with a note saying 'bon voyage'. I have no idea if thats something outrageous to leave on her grave. In fact, I've never been to a funeral before. I've spent too many years studying science/medicine and 95% of my square brain tells me there is no afterlife, it all ends with death. Still I hope her journey has just started!

I've never been to a funeral, too. I believe I'm lucky for that.
Also, i feel the same. Everything i've learnt so far tells me that death is "game over" ... but some little naive part of me wants that it isn't like that.

dramatic atmosphere really follows your thought in a very good way...

This image is just so beautiful..it's one that really speaks to me right now , especially after your personel comment at the end. It reminds me of a line in the poem I read for David "Dont mourn for now , for now i'm free" the figure (even though siloueted) looks so happy , the movement of the material , and her pose give a real sense of...well freedom , and also letting go. The colours are absoloutly stunning , the colours of a new begining. I'm not religous , but death makes you think...
Make this a print someday...it's so beautiful

I love the the golds and yellows in the sunset, and how the cape is sort of blowing in the wind. It conveys a sense of freedom, I think.
