My communication today is tied in with  this Poignant Ikebana image~  With kind permission from Kathryn,    I thought you might like to share our communication  ~ Comment to Kathryn ~ This post has arrested my attention:  This image would serve as a beautiful tribute for the recent disaster.   When I look at the image I see the global turmoil, the swirling of it all, in our minds too, and the helpless situation we all feel towards the Japanese. The beautiful flower offering is yours and ours to give showing our shared caring.  I have never studied Ikebana, but these images are very poignant today!  Yes, I learned of the tsunami after posting this arrangement and I was stunned.
