When Sara step her both feet into the lovely, magical forest, she can feels the air that she breath so fresh until her chest expand and feel so relieved when the air is let go. Sara looks the azure sky and the sun ray filled the forest all over. The cloud took a shape of animal like cat; dog and more, it make Sara laugh and said “This forest is going to blow my mind!!” The water also looks wonderful and beautiful flowing through the river.

 Sara take a good look at the river and shock that is milk, “Odin, the water of the river is milk, are you play a trick on me” said Sara loudly. Odin just smiles looking the expression of Sara. Sara admits that the magical forest brings a tranquillity and harmony. The forest filled with a lot of kind flowers, red roses, white lilies, purple lavender, and red hibiscus and all of flower that Sara can think. The entire flowers in the forest grow up beautiful and attractive.

Sara thinks she can live there for hundred thousand years without any misery. So, the next few hours, Odin spent time to explain briefly to Sara about the magical forest and suddenly Odin says this is a best place for a people that need to heal their wounded soul.

Sara a little bit stunned when the word “wounded” said by Odin. In her mind, is she having a “wounded soul”. Sara thinks for a while, and said “yes, I do have a wounded soul, maybe because of my parents divorces, why this is happen?” said Sara.

Suddenly, Odin say “lassy, don’t worry I’m Odin, the guardian forest will help you to heal”, Sara just smiles. Then, Odin mumbled some incantation “1, 2, 3 count your way, make this pain go away”, Sara stunned for a while, she can’t believe what her see, a white sparkle surrounded her and a beautiful, little fairies came out and sing a lovable song like a lullaby song.

The song makes Sara feels calm and warm, she felt asleep. When she open her eyes, she noticed that the forest is no longer there, its disappear, then she remember what Odin said to her “ the forest will be here when yer need it but do not want it, but when yer want it and no longer need it that is when everything goes away”. Sara gets out from the forest and suddenly she heard a voice whispered said “Goodbye Sara”. Sara just smiles and returned home with a heal soul.

A picture worth a thousand words..

Do you agree that a picture worth a thousand words?
I absolutely agree with “a picture worth a thousand words”. It has been said over the centuries that a picture could be worth a thousand words. As you can imagine still, for each individual that views it, the words can be decidedly different. For an example is Guernica.

Picture of “Guernica”

Above is a picture of  a “Guernica” painted by Pablo Picasso. Many of people said that the Guernica is just a non- message picture, if we just glance at this picture we can say that, based on individual opinion. We also can say that this picture actually is just an ordinary picture, which consist of bulls, horse and a few of people. But, the truth is this paint actually consist an enormous message, it was created in reply to the bombing of Guernica, Basque Country, by German and Italy warplanes, during Spanish Civil War.

The main point of Guernica is to shows the tragedies of war and the suffering of many people, particularly innocent civilians. This picture contains a thousand words of sadness and sufferers.

Well, it just not that, each of the character in this picture also represents something. For an example is the people who lay on the floor, under the horse is , apparently dismembered soldier, his hand on a severed arm still grasps a shattered sword from which a flower grows. It represent that the soldier still fight until he stopped breathe.

Another example also is within a room where the bull, if we just look at the picture it just a bull and a lady, but if we look at the picture very carefully it shows the cruelty for innocent people and also a wide-eyed bull stands over a woman grieving over a dead child in her arms Meanwhile, the light bulb in the painting represents the sun, symbol of hope. Besides that, Picasso uses black, white, and grey paint to set a somber mood and express pain and chaos.

So does a picture worth a thousand worth? I think it does. In a picture there is a thousand words that can be paint.
