It has been a crazy insane start to 2011, Queensland, Christchurch and now Japan - awful, horrendous and heartbreaking Japan... But even when catastrophe isn't rocking the world people live in poverty and desperation while others live in (sometimes disturbing) excess.
James Mollison's photography project '
Where Children Sleep' illustrates this in its documentation the different lives of children around the world through their bedrooms or lack thereof. You can see the book online (
here).
This book, perhaps more so than the tragic images of Australia, New Zealand and Japan, left me feeling that I need to be more grateful for what I have, to give more generously (not just when tragedy makes me feel guilty), to celebrate the little things, to be happy, and to live a beautiful life.

Wishing you all a rich, rewarding and beautiful day!
