Greetings Dear Andrew,

I have clicked on the image before reading any further, interested in what
the browser will come up with.

The image struck me as reflecting very much the mentality of my
granddaughter Jessica the past couple of weeks. She is bent on "caring"
for the "fairies". She is in a peaceful state of mind. She creates tiny
furniture (about 2 cm in size) for the fairies. She then puts these
furniture in small boxes (open to one side) and hangs these boxes outside
in the fruit trees. (It is very dry and hot here over much of the northern
part of South Africa for the past six weeks. Most of the farmers' crops
have burned to death. Jessica reckons that the fairies now need more care
than usual.)

She is also on a painting spree. Sunday eight days ago she draw with
charcoal a picture of these fairies and what they were doing --
surprisingly resembling that of Paul Klee! Last Saturday she went with my
daughter Jeanette to an art class as a "visitor". She came back as a
potnetial artists with another delightful drawing of fairies, this time in
soft pastel chalk ON A YELLOW-BEIGE BACKGOUND.

When I read the following, I knew I just had to tell of the remarkable
synchronicity.

With care and best wishes
