Grateful Rain

Acrylic on Canvas

Hello Ananda

16 x 20 acrylic on stretched canvas

Sooner or later, the cloud will change into rain or snow or ice. If you look deeply into the rain, you can see the cloud. The cloud is not lost; it is transformed into rain, and the rain is transformed into grass and the grass into cows and then to milk and then into the ice cream you eat. Today if you eat an ice cream, give yourself time to look at the ice cream and say: "Hello, cloud! I recognize you.”
― Thích Nhất Hạnh, No Death, No Fear   

Our beautiful canary, Ananda has left us, left his cage, to fly free and to become one with the clouds.  Today, if I eat an ice cream, I say, “Hello Ananda.”

where were you when you

 were asleep? where would you be

 if you'd been awake?
