LIVE_AID USA FOR AFRICA 1985 ~ RIP Michael Jackson ~ the music-mantel of your success's and achievements by far, have not been matched in music, dance or music-charts! I enjoyed MJ's music for 40 years and I will miss his music that was yet to come... RIP Michael Jackson
Below, a fanart I created to honour the late, great Canadian JaZZist, actor-Jeff Healey; whom passed away 4/2008 much too young, and much too soon. I had a chance to see Jeff play live, on July 7, 2006 after being a fan for 20 years! I was first in line, for the after-show meet n'greet with Jeff, which he signed the Live at Montreux CD I'd bought ..I am crushed, we have lost a talented man, whom led a life of courage, strength and beauty of music; which graces the mantle of his success's, achievements and awards as a great Canadian achiever, success story, and triumphant human inspiration to all whom came to know him through his music! More Jeff fanart pics in my albums.
More pics of Jeff are in my Albums.
Below, a slide of 16 butterfly photographs taken by Mieke van der Poll. I did the digital magic! I love these images of her butterflies taken at a butterflies garden in the Netherlands. Enjoy!
Movies
I am a major film-fan! I like good stories and great acting, all perfected up with a great director, producer acting, ensemble-cast and crew!
Television
Planet Earth, David Suzuki Documentaries and the Nature of Things, Historical Documentaries, PBS, The Hour, Shows of nature and animals, Inspirational films, old classic movies which leaves one feeling all oogly-inspired, and comedies.
Books
Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Hobbit, People of the Earth Series, The Canadians series, Clan of the Cave Bear series, Andrew M. Greely(Irish Priest)who is a delightful author of seraphs, angels, miracles, restitution, pennances, liberation and 2nd chances, mysteries, and investigative detective working and researching. Brilliant writer. I like reading the writings and poetry of Kahlil Gibran, and Rabindranath Tagore, Elizabeth Barett Browning, and more. Can't put these authors down!!
Heroes
People, whom need people(wink) like family and friends!Anyone willing to fight for an underdog. Advocates of earth, people and justice. People whom would save a life, at risk of their own. Someone whom would change a persons life, in helping them achieve a dream. Community supporters and volunteers. People with good intentions. Poets, writers, musicians, singers, dancers, actors and actress's whom creatively move our spirit; to sing, dance and imagine. Unsung heroes, we may never meet or need; but when we do, they are there like miracles for us!

"Learning is the only wealth tyrants cannot despoil. Only death can dim the lamp of knowledge that is within you. The true wealth of a nation lies not in its gold or silver but in its learning, wisdom and in the uprightness of its sons". - Kahlil Gibran, 1883-1931
