Hi VIVA~~I really like your monochrome image of the old (well-used) garden spades! Just imagine all of the many hours of work they have seen- well not literally, and the many hours of interesting conversations that may have swirled around them when being used as you said, "Furthering the tending of the earth." Love this and sending my Very Best for each day going forward! Sincerely, Will. F&L

VIVA Anderson replied:

Dear Will, thank you from my 'artist's' heart. I so appreciated your so thoughtful response to this "Furthering the tending of the earth" and your love of this affirms my hopes here. I wish you well, fulfillment, peace,:)🙏VIVA::with deepest gratitude to you, my Friend.

"...I am rare. / I am the standing ovation..." - each different from the next, we few who band together, yet have significance that we represent 'tools in a shed' still ready to preform! 'Old spades', perhaps. But certainly vibrant! Another image that testifies to the 'functioning' of wisdom... in any time. 'I AM NOT OLD' either! -tdp

VIVA Anderson replied:

Terrance, I am so touched by YOUR thoughts, response, simpatico! WE will NEVER be OLD ! and WE , who are significant TO EACHOTHER!......I admire your always erudite , thoughtful responses , especially!! THANK you, brother in ART !..........VIVA
