Beauty of Beginnings - May 6th - Safety

I look upon the world where we are still playing these foolish and tragic games, and my heart breaks.

Apparently, Gina doesn’t like the painting and would like it removed. The artist has asked people to consider why he paints pictures of the people he paints. It is a question worth pondering. Meanwhile, Swimming Australia, sponsored by the...
