-God said: Alright son its time to go.
-surprised the man responded: Now? So soon? I had a lot of plans…
-but I am sorry but its time to go.
-What do you have in that suitcase?
-God answered: Your belongings.
– My belongings? you mean my things, my clothes, my money?
-God answered: Those things were not yours they belonged to the earth.
-Is it my memories? the man asked.
-God answered: those never were yours they belonged to the circumstances.
-Is it my talents:
-God answered : those were never yours they belonged to the circumstances.
Is is my friends and family?

Is it my body?
-God answered that was never yours it belonged to the dust.
Is it my soul?
-God answered: no that is mine.
Full of fear, the man took the suitcase from god and opened it just to find
out the suitcase was empty.
-With a tear coming down his cheek the man said: I never had anything???
-God answered: that is correct, every moment you lived were only yours.
Life is just a moment, a moment that belongs to you. For this reason enjoy
this time while you have it. Don’t let anything that you think you own stop
you from doing so.
-Live now.
-Live your life.
-Don’t forget to be happy, that is the only thing that matters.
-Material things and everything else that you fought for stay here.
-You can’t take anything.

I still continue to try my hand at mosaics. Below are my last two works.
This one I call Nativity. It is my idea of a Nativity scene and I love it. I made it out pieces of a broken cookie jar and a broken mug. It is 11.5 x 8 inches.

This one I named Butterflies and Flowers. It is 24 x 20 inches. I made it using different glass stones that I got at the 99 cent store. I had originally named it Butterflies, but when I was done a friend came over and when he saw it he asked: Are those butterflies or flowers?

Fact Attack: Endangered Species No. 106 – The Kodkod
As always, just wonderful.
“Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the people of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it”
Chief Seattle
Found primarily in Chile and thinly in bordering parts of Argentina, with others located on the islands of Chiloé and Guaitecas, this elusive and endearing little cat is the smallest felid in the New World, and with the smallest known distribution. Known also as the guiña or Chilean cat, and roughly the size of an average domestic cat, the extremely rare kodkod is very similar in appearance to Geoffroy’s cat.
