When all the people in the world love one another, then the strong will not overpower the weak, the many will not oppress the few, the wealthy will not mock the poor, the honoured will not disdain the humble, and the cunning will not deceive the simple.

      I went back to take some photos of the beautiful flowers and I was treated with some amazing lighting :-)

      You really would have loved what I saw when I took this picture, it was so much more than my photographic replica.

      The books and the synchronicity… There is much more to that than I first thought ;-)
