As another year passes by I come to understand that we exist to offer to time instead of the other way around, and that the only valuable element of time is change.
No matter how cruel change can be to the human soul, it helps us realize loss, appreciate consistency and feel compassion for our fellow men who are going through the same as we are.
Change helps us improve and allows us to become better and better, and this way contribute to time an enhanced level of experience and wisdom.
To endure change however, we need people that will support us throughout the years, a continuous stream of love, unaffected by the winds of time.
I have found this type of support in Steemit and therefore I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart and wish you a
HEALTHY, PROSPEROUS AND FULL OF LOVE 2018!
PS. I would like to dedicate my photo to @onceuponatime who has provided me, @sofi-m and many many other Steemit friends a safe haven in the everchanging environment of the cryptoworld.
I am deeply honored to have this photo dedicated to me. Thank you.
One of these days I will have to dig up my poem about purple (when "time" permits lol).
I am happy you liked it and I am looking forward to your poem! Τhank you again for everything and wish you a very very very happy 2018 😘😘🌹🌷
OK, for you:
Purple Flower
Pierced by my passion
For a purple flower
Eyes wide open to the thorn.
This the year, this the day, this the hour
To which my punctured heart was born.
I really like it... the author realized he had a heart when his heart got hurt. 😢😢💖
The author?
Yours truly.

That's a beautiful exotic photo that looks like painting. Feel like I'm on another planet
Marianda, it is always good to have a safe “haven”, people where you could ask for help or support. People who listen and could give you advise.
That gives a good feeling, and with this perfect colored piece of art; you say Thank you to them.
What a Nice gift!!!!

Thank you very much @tutufaith! I took the photo with my cellphone (a simple Samsung) and edited mainly with Snapseed 😊
A cellphone!!! Are you serious?
Hehe yeap. In general I always use simple mediums and ways to make art, because I believe creativity already lives in us and everyone should feel comfortable to express it.

Happy New Year @yaan!
I am so glad there are people who understand the situations that our fellow men are in, and yet still willing to help and support them.
The post is breathtaking! Not to mention the texture in the comment!
The picture is amazing! The coulor and detail in that art is amazing. Its like it speaks to me for more peace and tranquility!
Happy new year. What a way to start 2018!!
Ηappy 2018 @graham12!! Thank you very much for your encouraging comment, I am glad you enjoyed my post!
That's a fascinating picture!
what I feel this picture radiates is "hope" - the two adults and a little child stand at the end of the quay, leaving a land they knew, the scene is a bit dark and somber because they do not know what does the future hold for them, they leave their land, a place that was home for them but now became a place they can't stay in anymore.
they walk on a platform lighted with bright lights - resembling the hope they have for a new beginning, a better future for their child. but the things to come are intimidating too - there is a vast sea in front of them, representing their fear of the unknown future.
but - in the horizon there is land, and hope, with a shivering line of light enlightening the high summits of the future with a breath of hope.
So - happy new year - full of hopes and lights ☀️
Wow you are remarkable! And I love how you observed and focused on the family! Artists pray for viewers like you 😊 Thank you and I wish you a year full of hope and love!
Nice effects! I love the purple :)

The composition and the subject matter are superb. I only came to Steemit last June, but didn't really start posting rgularly until about a month ago. I've really found some great people on here and love the community. Being an artist, it's great to have another means of connecting with other creatives. I just found you today, so I'm following now. Good job and here is to a great 2018 Steemit New Year :)
Thank you very much @donnadavisart, welcome to Steemit and have a happy and supercreative year!
I shall do, and you as well.
@mariandavp Magical as always big sis. Happy new year from the bottom of my heart. May all your wishes come true.

Those were lovely words and the picture is amazing. You have a good spirit @mariandavp. Following. :-)
The change you're talking about is the experience? The experience that only time brings us. Happy New Year! Always hopping to that! Interesting how you transform your photo in something looking like a lithography.
Hey girl, we are family.
Very nice painting and I love the mood and the colours!
Καλή χρονιά με υγειά και χαρά! Πολύ ωραίο το έργο σου
its amazing <3
The scenery is very beautiful I like it very much
Beautiful words and image - loving your use of filters.
So happy to have stumbled upon you following the Steemit virtual breadcrumb trail.
Still, relatively, new here I feel that Steemit has offered me a lifeline to communicate with interesting folks, sustain an alternative lifestyle and build a pension!
:)
I too am an artist, writer/lightworker with much to say. And I invite your thoughts on my recent post: https://steemit.com/spirituality/@ldacey-laforge/once-you-know-there-is-no-turning-back
Looking forward to getting to virtually know you; I wish you success and joy throughout 2018 and far beyond.

Happy New Year :)
Beautiful photograph, @mariandavp
Happy new year!
