"Life is the art of drawing without an eraser"
Little bird, glitter and a transparency over it
Our life is confined with limited circles of entities. The entities which define the meaning of life. Happiness, food, passion, success, money, love, care, power, education all these are steps of life to take it in a upper stage. some people acquire most of them, some don't have a place to sleep. This is so called life in the earth of this universe.
Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh.

... an awakening

» This homeless guy wonders through the streets of Zwolle (Netherlands). In the daytime you can find him and his dog downtown, sitting on the ground playing a flute.
You may think that I asked his for his picture but I didn't. He was standing in the crowd and noticed me, I pressed my button asap :)
The beautiful thing is that, from that day on, he always greets me when I walk by him... next time I give him a print of this one, instead of some change... or maybe both!
Inspired by a truly great photographer: LJ.

This image is dedicated to my Grandad, And the poem that was read to him;
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end
He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not how much we own;
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard.
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what’s true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy is being read
With your life’s actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?
I don't have a single memory of him without a smile, he was never anything but lovely and cuddly and warm, and that is how he is remembered. I don't know anything about an afterlife, I don't believe I can believe in one, but when I die I can only hope to leave as many such memories behind me.
Thank you :) My second photograph to ever reach the front page of Explore :)

The Tree of Life or Sharajat-al-Hayat, as the Arabs call it, is 400 old mesquite tree which stands lonely in the heart of desert and from far away it looks like a green spot in the white desert. The mystery of the survival of the tree has made it a legend. The name “tree of life” is absolutely fit for the tree as it truly symbolizes the magic of life. A legend is also attached to the place where the tree is located. The local inhabitants believe with heart and soul that this was the actual location of the Garden of Eden.
This large tree, with its solid trunk, stout branches and luxuriant green leaves is a mystery to one and all, stands majestically on top of a 25-foot-high sandy hill. The tree has continued growing-despite the extremities of the climate. At present it is 32 feet in height.
It is fascinating to see something grow in such heavy conditions - loneliness, heat, drought, dust storms and grazing animals. The average temperatures are probably about 110 or so and the hot winds blow heavily.
The tree’s source of water is mystery. Biologists may say that its roots go very deep and wide to get water from the reserves of sweet springs kilometers away. The Bedouins believe that Enki, the mythical God of water, had showered its blessing and greenery on the Tree. According to one theory of some scientists who have studied the rings on the trunk of "Tree" (a tough, ancient acacia), they say it is over 1500 years old. Almost declaring it as the best preserved heritage of the 5000 years old land of "Dilmun" (meaning noble) which was ancient name of Bahrain.

I honestly didn't think this photo would come out very well when I took it until I uploaded it on the PC. What do you think? This was taken at the Cedar Hill Cemetery in Suffolk, VA
