Butterflies never know how beautiful their wings are. It is only through the eyes, our eyes, other people's eyes, that their wings are seen and appreciated.

Remember the song, "Vincent"? The song was for Vincent Van Gogh. "Now I understand, what you're trying to say to me. How you suffered for your sanity and how you tried to set them free. They are not listening , they are not listening still. Perhaps they never will." The lyrics are a call for help, a desperate call from people who suffer quietly from overwhelming sadness, frustration and depression. It is a loud cry to make life easy. It is a demand for people to not just listen but for people to love them.

If only Vincent had seen his beautiful wings ...

Basic human need... to be loved, needed and accepted.

I am so lucky to have loving people around me. I am fortunate to have friends and family who fill the holes in my heart. Each day is another opportunity to do well, another occasion to celebrate life, and another moment to be happy.

Love, love lots, truly love / betsisanders 2010
