Mother Earth <3

Denny Jump (Bellevue, WA, United States) on 13 May 2018 in Landscape & Rural.

Today especially, We sing praises to our Mother...
The one who held us up
The one who kept us close and warm
the one who taught us from right and wrong.
The one who taught us about love and respect and truth and light.
To All Mothers Everywhere, may our love be in Your life <3

** Staples Singers - "Respect Yourself"

- " We do not move forward from a middle opinion, which is undemocratic but mediocratic.
We advance from a creative passion "- (Edgar Morin)

- "To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at
that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
- Henri Cartier-Bresson.

::Words from Denny:
- My beliefs, and values, have always been strongly tied-to music, especially Jazz, and Blues.
- The following artists and lyrics seem to "sum-up" where my spirit resides:
EARTH WIND AND FIRE;
"HOLD ON TO YOUR SPIRIT,
ALWAYS FEEL YOUR SOUL....
HONOR THE MAGIC IN YOUR HEART"; Earth Wind and Fire

Rick from Toronto, Canada

A wonderful tribute for Mother's Day. There is still much work to do in terms of equality and respect for the humans who carry new life within them, deliver and nurture it to fruition, and yet are treated in ways that need correcting.

@Rick: Well stated sir! It’s always baffled me how we can make love, give birth, but then, treat others ( even the ones we "create" our selves) with inhumanity!! Thank you, Rick
