An Art Hive is a community art studio that welcomes everyone as an artist. From an art pop-up in a local library to a community studio or gallery, at its heart, an Art Hive is about inclusion, respect and learning. It's a welcoming place to talk, make art and build communities. Responding in creative ways to things that matter.

1). I had so many issues until Virgin Media gave me a NEW BROADBAND ROUTER. 2). Mysql would NOT INSTALL ON LINUX MINT ZARA 3). I replaced Linux Mint Zara with Linux Mint ZENA and Mysql Installed. 4). I could not get Mysql working due to their new security enhancements. 5). Thanks to Gemini AI - I then installed MariaDB and Gemini helped me configured it. 6). All is working now and I made the decision to abandon having my Mini Grid and Kara Estate is now on OSgrid and working very Nicely!

Today, Samsara is a place of silence, reflection, and compassion.

With a humble heart, I honour the lives lost in the heartbreaking tragedy in Venezuela, and the twelve monks who lost their lives during their pilgrimage in Thailand. Though these events happened in different parts of the world, they remind us that suffering knows no borders, and compassion knows no language.

These memorials are not placed here for attention, but as a quiet tribute to those who have passed, to the families who mourn, to the rescuers who continue their tireless work, and to every innocent life forever changed by these tragedies.

May all who have departed find peace. May those who grieve find comfort. May those who continue to suffer find strength, hope, and kindness in the hearts of others.

May we all find our way through Samsara, guided by the wisdom and compassion of Metta.

May all beings be free from suffering. 🙏🕊️🌸

Some came looking for a house, some found a home, others discovered something they were not even searching for.
Treasure Trail is not a place to finish... It is a story to begin.
If curiosity brings you here...follow the trail.
Every trail remembers who walk it.

For Anachron and me.
A little dream of happiness
I want to tell you a story about happiness,
it starts so softly, somewhere deep inside.
I close my eyes and drift into a dream,
where the world feels lighter for a while.

I see a unicorn, straight from a fairytale,
its touch so gentle, calm and pure.
I ride away with it through silver skies,
believing for a moment in something unreal.

Then I laugh and I stop right there,
because I know what truly stays.

The real happiness is standing next to me,
no fantasy, no distant star.
Just loving moments, warm and true,
right here, right where we are.

So I don’t tell a legend made of light,
I tell the truth, so simple and real.
About your smile in winter snow,
about the way your presence feels.

The real happiness walks hand in hand,
through snow, through time, through night.
No magic creature, no perfect plan,
just us, and it feels right.

In falling snow we lose all words,
just breath, just laughter, just now.
The world grows quiet around our hearts,
and nothing else matters somehow.

Arm in arm we slowly fall asleep,
our dreams begin to blend.
And I know, so softly, so clear:
This is happiness.
And it stays.
