FULFILLMENT
--by Walter Lewis Smith

I have worked in the fertile earth and
planted a garden, so I know what faith is.
I have listened to the birds caroling in
the early morning and at dusk, so I know
what music is. I have seen the morning
without clouds after showers, so I know
what beauty is.

I have sat before a wood fire with old
friends, so I know what companionship is.
I have walked the paths of quietness along
the forest floor, so I know what peace is.
I have dwelt in the valley of remembrance
and on the hills of home, so I know what
love is.

I have seen the miracle of spring, the
fruition of summer, and beauty of autumn,
followed by the repose of winter, so I know
what life is. And because I have perceived
all these things, I know what God is.

Not much PP was needed

Merry Xmas and a blessed 2008 under a safe roof Folks!

Best regards,

Hi John

Good repetition of the diagonals in the layered rooves, with nice sentiments for the coming new year. Tfs!

Mooi lijnenspel John hier hoef ik geen WS op te doen gewoon een hele mooi plaat, ze zijn wel schuin voor de Sint en Santa. Ze kunnen altijd even Apeldoorn bellen. Take care my friend and have a nice time in Canada and my wishes to you and your loved ones.

Hoi Sir John,

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

From thumbnail I thought it is another source for producing sustainable energy (solar cells) and when I enlarged the picture, it has provided me a stunning look. Simply fabulous and symbolic. Such an innovative idea to convey greetings which is meaningful. Very impressive, well done.

Thanks for sharing pleasure and joy of the season.

Great note and great .. uhhh .... lijnenspel !!
greetings,
Joop!

Hi John,
Taking advantage of the lull in activity this morning to send some Christmas greetings and relax a bit . . .
A very insightful, symbolic, and inspirational post. Thanks for sharing, and for the good wishes,
Merry Christmas,

Hi there, John - Merry Christmas, still, and another Happy New Year!
I am a 'roof lover' and so 'must' comment on this photo of yours. I do like the simplicity, the grey slates and their repetitive pattern as well as the parallel diagonal lines and, finally, the few moments that upset this total symmetry. Well seen and presented, John! TFS! - Cordelia :))

Hi John
Hope your Christmas was great, and you was spending some good ours together with your family. I was on duty all christmas days, 12 ours every day, so my time with the family was very short.
Your photo shows some good diagonal lines, it is very well observed, great job my friend.
The best wishes from denmark and
Jens.
