We can be rich in so many ways....

A father who wanted his son to know what it was like to be poor brought him to live with a farming family for a few days. The child stayed there for 3 days and 3 nights.
Back in the car on their way to the town, his father asked him:
"And your experience?"

"Fine," replied the boy.
"Did you learn anything?"
The boy then explained:
1. We have a dog and they have four of them.
2. We have a pool with treated water. They have a river with crystal clear water, fish and other good things
3. We have electric lights in our street, but they have the stars and the moon to light them up.
4. Our garden extends to the fence. Theirs to the horizon.
5. We buy our food; they cultivate, harvest and cook their own.
6. We listen to CDs ... they hear a symphony of birds, crickets and other animals ...
... all this, sometimes accompanied by the singing of a neighbour who works on the farm.
7. We use the microwave. What they cook tastes much better cooked slowly by a fire.
8. We are surrounded by alarms and fences to protect ourselves ... They live with open doors, protected by the friendship and love of their neighbours.
9. We are connected to the telephone, computer and television. They are in communion with life, sky, sun, water, land, animals, friends and their families.
The father was impressed with his son's feelings. Then finally the son comes to the conclusion:
"Thanks for showing me how poor we are dad! Every day we get poorer because we no longer live in nature like farmers do!!!"

This painting was STOLEN from outside the back of Jesse Rose's store in Kamo last week while it was drying. It is especially SPECIAL because the artist is only learning and was really proud of her efforts.

UPDATE- it may look like we got the stolen painting back, But Sadly no- we haven’t. Despite huge efforts to try and do so.. and some truly AMAZING support of the public... (The post I wrote to say the painting had been stolen, has been shared over 440 x already online, so it’s definitely getting out there..)
It’s out of our hands now, but we are still hopeful it will be recovered., so keep sharing... as we Know people have seen this painting/will see this painting.
But in the meantime I printed off the only photo we had, which was an unfinished picture (the stolen painting had been finished) onto fine art paper, and then Melissa finished the final details ...(for the second time)

And that way we were able to include the painting in the exhibition on Saturday night!

Of course not the same as having the original painting- but it was something 🖤

This fantail will have quite a story behind it,

And I know one day (hopefully) it will make its way back to the owner..

If you know anything about this, please let Jesse Rose know on 021 155 6803, or return it to 575 Kamo Road, Kamo, Whangārei 0112.
