The boy was lost in the cold dark forest. He calls
out loud for help but nobody comes. He starts to walk along the pathway. He
finds a bell of peace and rings it while singing Everybody comes out and
cheers.

This reminds me about a party with balloons in shapes
and sizes and universe nebulas - just
connected together to make peace and love in the world.

Music is always around us here and there ,
surrounding us; but sometimes people foret that it even has a life of its own.
Peace can always happen with music. Magic is in music.

balloons and cake – like when I had my dads 40th last year.

The wind was howling. The storm was blowing closer.
The trees looked as if they were trying to run away from the storm. The river
was still flowing. How good it would have felt to be water. Constantly escaping
all bad things never stopping at any one place at any one time. This was the
most beautiful and wonderous place in the world.

The wind blew strong – it was the last tree in the
world. The tree stayed hidden in long grass surrounding it. There used to be
hundreds of thousands of trees but man found amgreat use in the trees and
slowly but eventually the trees became harder and harder to find and then they
were all gone except one. Nobody cared about the trees anymore. Everybody was
so caught up in what technology could do that nobody cared about trees. The
world became polluted and then many people died but one person saw this and
searched for the last tree in the world. This person found the tree and saw the
beautiful sunset gaze upon this tree and never felt better in his life.

It reminds me of fire being burnt down. When I was 8
I saw a bushfire near my house , so my family got the hose and put it out. Soon
after the fireman came to helpus. We had to help buy new grass and products and
it produced a loavely park. Every year now lots of people come to the park –
and some of them don’t know the real background story of Mullion Park.

of the time I went to China. I was three years old. It was a time of peace and
mercy It was quiet and peaceful. I liked it.

The dark night came and the plant
in Sya’s room made a small shadow over the lit room. It swerved and swayed
across its bowl. Knock knock heard Sya the plant man was there he was here to
help the plant grow to its full size. And there it was the plant blooming to
