What The Mystics Know 7) Changed(-ing) people change people Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.  Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’  will enter the kingdom of heaven,  but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. ‭‭ Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭NIV                         The Conversation Elements From The Conversation Music Time is certainly one of the main ingredients in the process of change. May it be so. May we be brave. May we be changed. With all our love. George & Matilda

Wat Die Mistici Weet 7) Verander(en)de mense verander mense Aan hulle vrugte sal julle hulle dus uitken. Nie elkeen wat vir My sê, ‘Here, Here,’ sal ingaan in die koninkryk van die hemele nie, maar net diegene wat die wil doen van my Vader in die hemele. ‭‭ Matteus‬ ‭7‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭AFR20‬‬                         Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Musiek Tyd is sekerlik een van die hoof bestanddele in die proses van verandering. Mag dit so wees. Mag ons dapper wees. Mag ons verander word. Met al ons liefde. George & Matilda

  We Begin Again The Conversation Elements From The Conversation Music As last year, so this year - with our love.  George & Matilda

Ceramic V-bowl with leaves by Matilda Angus Coffee table converted from old dining room table by George Angus "When you buy from an independent artist, you are buying more than just a painting [or vase, or chair]. You are buying hundreds of hours of experimentation and thousands of failures. You are buying days, weeks, months, years of frustration and moments of pure joy. You are buying nights of worry about paying the rent, having enough money to eat, having enough money to feed the children, the birds, the dog. You aren’t just buying a thing, you are buying a piece of heart, part of soul, a private moment in someone’s life. Most importantly, you are buying that artist more time to do something they are fully passionate about; something that makes all the above worth the fear and the doubt; something that puts the life into living.”                             ...

“Good morning,” said the little prince. “Good morning,” said the merchant. This was a merchant who sold pills  that had been invented to quench thirst. You need only swallow one pill a week, and you would feel no need of anything to drink. “Why are you selling those?” asked the little prince. “Because they save a tremendous amount of time,” said the merchant. “Computations have been made by experts. With these pills, you save fifty-three minutes in every week.” “And what do I do with those fifty-three minutes?” “Anything you like. . . ” “As for me,” said the little prince to himself, “if I had fifty-three minutes to  spend as I liked, I should walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water.” Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

A man was standing on a platform, waiting for a train. A boy came up to him and asked him the time. Man:       No, I’m not telling you. Boy:       Why not? Man:     If I tell you the time, you will ask me my name, the job that I’m doing and all other personal stuff. We’ll become more open with each other. In all probability you’ll pick a seat next to me on the train. The chances are good we’ll go to the same city. My daughter will be waiting at the station to pick me up. She is beautiful and you may fall in love with each other. Then she might insist to marry you.              I’m sorry, I don’t want a son-in-law who doesn’t even have a watch! Talk of not being in the moment! It would have been nicer though if I didn’t have this sense of recognition. George
