Thank you for your concern.Bush is not the only one advocating (you are either with us or our enemy).This doctrine is catching up very fast.It is no more live and let live; now it is live only if you confirm to OUR believes.
May ALLAH help us.
Thanks again
Arif

Nice to see your reply post Sir..

Thanks so much for confirming your safety Arif. I hope there is a short path to peace...even if there is, no one ever seems to take it.

At least you are surrounded by beauty at your home.
Peace,
Kristi

Very glad you are surviving Arif. May ALLAH protect and preserve you.
IMHO I have found that in truth, most all of us must conform, and to some degree compromise our beliefs. Such is the nature of life itself. It has been said "No man is an island." This applies to our workplace, laws of our communities and countries. There is nearly always someone more powerful than ourselves. An employer, a government, or community consensus. It is not human nature for everyone to get along. I have observed even my GOD appears to work in ways I can never understand. I just have to play the cards I've been dealt, the best I can. Meanwhile I try to find things to enjoy in life; such as the beauty of flowers.

(((((Arif))))) my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and friends. Please be safe my dear friend.

My love and regards to all of you.
What ever will be, will be, the future is not ours to see.
Yes there is so much beauty arround us, Why not enjoy it. My teacher Mr. R R Stewart used to say (every one has eyes but only few can see). If only we would let our mind fly free and see things as thy are and not as we want to see them.
Kristi you would be glad to know that I am now also going full steem for the BIRDS. These flowers are not seasonal and you enjoy them every day through out the year. Details later.

Dear Arif,

I am just returning from a week in Colorado and Hannah greeted me with 3 eggs! The nest box has a panel that slides up on the side, so I can peek at her. I might get plexiglass and cover it with a cloth so I can sneak a peek without disturbing her. I wish you lived closer...I would come and visit your "winged" flowers!!
:-)
