Our Decorations String Us Together

Our lives are basically spectacular; however, decorations are a far-flung, colourful net which gathers us all together to celebrate, share, and showcase our lives and everything we have, here on Earth.

Our planet is decorated with oceans and lakes and extraordinary aquatic creatures, with trees and flowers and amazing land animals, with canyons and volcanoes and beautiful birds, and with us. And because we appreciate our natural surroundings so much, using our talents and creativity, we work diligently to preserve it, enhance it, and replicate it, so that we can all live in a constant state of awe and wonder.

All of our decorations are replicas of our natural world: The shapes: leaf and animal ear triangles, honeycomb hexagons, sunflower circles, and starfish stars. The lights: glow worms, fireflies, moonlight, and sunlight. Plus all the wonderful colours that radiate from everything on our world, and beyond.

The sensational artists in all of us are mesmerized by Earth’s loveliness, as we express our exultation through decorations gathered in our colourful nets.

We decorate to celebrate
and to showcase our time spent here
and to get us all chattering
about our divine earthly sphere
