Edgar has expressed it perfectly: It is the "gift to see the unseen" you have! <br />I like a lot the green window frame in the red passepartout!<br />Besides, it came to my mind, that by now the city of Arles, the Côte Azur and the whole Provence should be thankful for the work and heartful advertising you do for them!Silkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18227231314673040029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-92184576652597666972014-01-17T23:01:25.548+01:002014-01-17T23:01:25.548+01:00Hi Heather,

Your eyes can see the unseen like the prince, from an ancient parable, hearing the unheard. The prince, returning from the forest the second time, described what he heard to his master, “when I listened most closely, I could hear the unheard—the sound of flowers opening, the sound of the sun warming the earth, and the sound of the grass drinking the morning dew.” “To hear the unheard,” said the prince’s master, “is a necessary discipline to be a good ruler.” from:Parables of Leadership by W. Chan Kim and Renée A. Mauborgne ( Harvard Business Review) (http://hbr.org/1992/07/parables-of-leadership/ar/1)<br />The master explained, “For only when a ruler has learned to listen closely to the people’s hearts, hearing their feelings uncommunicated, pains unexpressed, and complaints not spoken of, can he hope to inspire confidence in his people…”<br />You have the gift to see the unseen.<br />Wishing you a wonderful weekend,<br />Edgar<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-15454803523825163472014-01-17T15:19:25.821+01:002014-01-17T15:19:25.821+01:00Quiet months indeed.

I do however, look forward to the sun waking up a little earlier! <br /><br />As usual, what lovely photos! I particularly like the turquoise wooden door with the gold hardware.
