Our Decorations String Us Together

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 our planet, to enhance it, and to replicate it, so that we can all live in a constant state of awe and wonder.

All 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, sunlight, moonlight, and fireflies. Plus all the wonderful colours that radiate from everything on our planet, and beyond.

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 decorations honour our memories – from jewellery engraved with names and quotes, to museums filled with relics and stone – as we take away feelings of finality from each other, so that beautiful memories can live on.

 Our decorations honour our present day – from flowers delivered to our front door, to glorious festivals of colour and light – as we take away feelings of gloom from each other, so that we can be filled with delight.

 Our decorations honour our future dreams – from Valentine’s Day cards sent with a promise of love, to new island resorts on the beach – as we take away feelings of lament from each other, so together our dreams can be reached.

Our net scoops up all the beauty on our generous planet, in celebration of its splendour; and, if needed, our decorations also shine a bright light on others’ shadows, if they are in a time of healing.

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.
