“You perceive how the soul is the intermediary between the body and the spirit. In like manner is this tree [a small orange tree on a nearby table] the intermediary between the seed and the fruit. When the fruit of the tree appears and becomes ripe, then we know that the tree is perfect; if the tree bore no fruit it would be merely a useless growth, serving no purpose!” – ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
When I was small, my dad used to work at the cork factory in Budapest. He loved working with this special material. Cork comes from the bark of cork oak trees and Portugal is the biggest manufacturer of cork products. I wanted to bring home some nice cork souvenirs for my dad. I randomly went into a restaurant by the beach to ask if they had some corks from wine bottles, I thought maybe a handful. They gave me a whole plastic bag filled with them☺️ Any nice ideas what to make out of them?

Every moment is yours. Don’t let it be stolen away, To be abused by the fleating moods of your surroundings. It is yours to cherish, To love and dwell in.
