Photo taken at Chavat - Habaron, Ramat - Hanadiv, Israel. Mars, 15, 08. This is a collective prayer of positive thinking. I'm here on this site few years, almost on daily base, at least most of the time. Those of us, who spent these years together, has some kind of bond / connection between us. We're in some way part of huge artists family... To me very much like a big neighborhood or international town of artists. Even though, all that time, that I'm here, I got familiar with a lot of artists, yet not with all. Some artists were more dominant in my portfolio, the same as I were with them. To my personal opinion there's some kind of human responsibility to one another, and most of us acknowledge this fact, I believe. The responsibility is by our words , or works to encourage creation at all levels. As we all know by now, it's usually a friendly site. Since it's of course a free site, people come and go, according to feeling, time, other things on the agenda. Sometimes we know reason, of people to disappear from the site, but not always. AND ..Of course I find it natural to do a change and also take a break from the site from time to time...... YET, I can't help myself thinking at times, of artists, that from one reason or another, not with us at a specific moment,or more then the moment. It's quite some time, that I'm a bit worried for one artist a very talented and responsible artist, a true loving soul. Actually I was worried for more then one artist lately. So, today I decided to post here a collective prayer for those we know, for those we met here on the site, and from their reasons are not with us at the moment. I send all my positive thinking, to those maybe need it. With ALL my LOVE. Copyrights (c) Nira Dabush

There are many missed or lost souls at the moment. It's hard to let someone go without a thought or a prayer. I too have wondered about one person for certain. Your photo of bright yellow flowers with all thier heads turned upwards towards the light, inspirational. Thanks for sharing such sentiments, ones that many are feeling as well.Anneke Hut 29 Apr 2008

There is nothing wrong in moving on from a certain site if life calls you to a different path. It can be positive and healthy thing. For some it is necessary to shed the old and renew themselves as it is positive for others to remain.Maria Murphy 29 Apr 2008
Nira : Beautiful shot as always !!! Next your little prayer to the left:I feel like you do,I always thought I was a bit soft ,is it only me that feels this way,especially when you dont see a firmiliar name in a while and you wonder are they alright,sick, gone on holidays, taking a break from the site or maybe artist block.So I am so glad you feel this way too !!You are right it is like an artist family.I too belong to loads of online galleries,sometimes meeting old buddies from here,which makes me smile to see there names,even though I never meet these people.Even though sometimes I get artists block,I like to come here and check how my family are doing and support them by leaving a comment.Sometimes, I get e-mails from artists who say "haven't seen you for a while are you ok? ,Nice to know they care!!!!!!!! Of all the online galleries this is my favourite Family.Sorry I was so long winded,but I am glad you shared that and really touched me !!!God bless Nira from far away Israel but yet you are right here with me !!!!!xxxxBobba Quimba 29 Apr 2008
