Strength



Title: Strength

Artist: Tineswari Maruthamuthu (this was a birthday gift from a talented artist friend of mine)

My Great Aunt passed away last night - strength is a word I would use to describe her - she raised 5 children by herself mostly during hard years and then she defied all odds living as long as she did after major heart surgery nearly 20years ago. She was a very spiritual lady too and well loved by all her family and friends. She gave a lot and was passionate about animal rights and theosophy. May she rest in peace.

“Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragement, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak” Thomas Carlyle
