(British Museum) :Silver coins as part of Ornamentation.

Wealth today is often invisible , as we cannot see inside another person's bank account.Some people like to show their wealth discreetly  while others choose to wear as jewellery or decoration.

Headdresses like this one ,from Palestine include silver coins as part of their ornamentation.

Being small money can easily be concealed for safekeeping ,However ,people often like to give an indication of their wealth for example by keeping money out of sight ,but in an expensive wallet.Money can also be used as adornment,and since coins and banknotes often feature elaborate and artistic designs,they are ideal for incorporation into jewellery.

Morning  inside The Bamboo Hut..

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there.

As you sit on the hillside, or lie prone under the trees of the forest, or sprawl wet-legged by a mountain stream, the great door, that does not look like a door, opens

I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.

During our way back from Kg Sg Relong to SK Menson using 4X4 ..through RED DIRT ROAD..

Sunday morning Breeze at Kg Sg Relong,Cameron Highlands

 Sunday (May 1-during Labour Day)morning breeze at Kg Sungai Relong after sleeping tight inside the Bamboo Hut !!!with the Morning Breeze at Cameron Highlands ..Joy is in cool mornings,A cool morning breeze when the sun is bright;Joy is in this feeling,Of rebirth and delight...Gratitude towards the Creator!! for that wonderful day!!

“Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.”

Morning Breeze at Kg Sg Relong,Cameron Highlands

Joy is in cool mornings,

A cool morning breeze when the sun is bright;

Joy is in this feeling,

Of rebirth and delight.

Sg  Relong

 And I yearn to wake up and awaken;

I yearn to walk beneath the light;

I yearn to walk just near the trees,

And watch some little birds in flight.

I yearn to walk just near the Relong's bridge,

And watch the waves at river;

There’s nothing I could ask for more,

Than earth’s enchanting melody.

 In the early hour of the day,

When night has just passed away;

When all is fresh, and all is beautiful,

When all is brilliant, ever pure.

OUR BAMBOO HUT IN SUNDAY MORNING

Joy is in cool mornings;

A stroll amidst a brand new day,

When life is just beginning,

When angels sing and dance and pray!
