Now and Zen....a brilliant idea comes along

When a thought is birthed and a great idea is formed there are at least another six identical such ideas born anywhere in the world. The one that lives and makes a name for itself is the one that runs the race to the tape There is the near at hand, the middle distance and then the journey to the stars. You may know you have the rocket but can you guarantee you have the fuel to reach them?
According to legend... when the staff broke the sod, roots took hold and sacred tendrils coursed through the landscape in search of holy springs. Found, Avalon blossomed and grew in stature.

"Consider the lilies of the field,how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. And yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” So(w) what you see, from the depth of your heart, is a thing of beauty. It needs nurturing, watering and allowance to blossom into fullness. What seems barren may just be uncared for...what seems bursting with pomp and circumstance may just be vanity dressed up as life...what makes no sound but calls you anyway may just be your key to freedom. Let nature tell you her story. Listen and you will recognise your life's path

Valery Lipenkov, who founded and has steered from the bow for over 10 years, the unique Museum to the Sun in Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk, Siberia in Russia. He has collected various images of the Sun - embossments, embroideries, carvings from various materials, etc. - totaling over 350 objet d'art. Each image has its unique character and, most certainly, its history.
