Earth Day. I listened to her, as I do every day, but as this was a very special day, I walked with all my senses, even more intently listening…

Planet Earth is mostly water – the Blue Planet. Today was a lucky day, because the blue was clear and intense – in the skies as well as in the water on the ground.

And the tiny wood-sorrel made last years’ leaves look green and fresh again…

…maybe not all of those leaves were that lucky, but slowly drifting in a fresh pool is beautiful as well.

Like the clouds. They all meet here – the sky, the clouds, the earth, the trees and the water.

We all belong here…to this planet and in this world and in this universe…

I believe all of us know…and my best friend knows it too. He felt so good today, running around, bathing and frolicking in the leaves…

Howling when he was told we were walking again…

So, this day, Earth Day, has been a beautiful day of belonging and pondering about what we have and how grateful we all should be.

We are not here forever…only for some short moments we can dance in the light. Let us take good care of each other, and of our Planet Earth – we want our children and grandchildren to feel this gentle belonging and the joy of life…and above all, it really is the animals’ and the plants’ planet, isn’t it. They were here first. We are responsible.

This time every year there are many art exhibitions in Skane, the south part of Sweden. I visited some of them, and also had some photographs of mine hanging…

The gallery in Isgrannatorp had several artists on exhibition, and Annika Ekholm’s gallery showed her own paintings as well as her son’s ceramics. Enjoy some of the art from the two galleries!

Cheri reminds us of the upcoming Earth Day, and if something or someone needs our love and support, it is her: Planet Earth.

We all have our separate thoughts and interpretations of ”Earth”, and I am thinking… my choice must be a favourite little piece of her. A place where I can cry over all our wrong doings, ponder over life in general and be grateful and happy about the good things in life. A place of beauty, a place for new hope and strength. This must be, a place with a tree. My old trees. Go here for more of our beautiful Planet Earth.
