Description
This fractal is specially made for Mark (anahata.c), in which, precisely on this day, the first day of spring, along with the birthday of our good friend (for many here) Mark, the sprouting of new strength, the joy of a festive emergence of nature, is brought forward.
At least that's how I see it, the fresh green rising up, and on the right, a kind of festive flags.
All for Mark, haha, and of course (hopefully) also visible for the visitor here.

Congratulations on your birthday, Mark.
Today is your celebration
flags fluttering in the wind
your day when spring begins.
Where everything starts growing and blooming again
new strengths emerge
the sun rises higher in the sky.
Let it be the day when you regain more of your strength
where ailments and pains will disappear
where large doses of energy, specially for you will appear.
This is what I wish for you, along with many blessed and renewing years full of love, warmth, and fresh courage.
and that all those 365 years, from another year of life for you, anew all these blessings will be replenished.
From the bottom of my heart,
Jacomina.

Van harte gefeliciteerd met jouw verjaardag, Mark!
Vandaag is het feest
vlaggen die wapperen in de wind
jouw dag waarop de lente begint
waarop alles opnieuw gaat groeien en bloeien
er nieuwe krachten ontstaan
de zon hoger aan de hemel gaat staan.
Laat het de dag zijn waarop jij weer meer in jouw kracht komt te staan
waarop kwalen en pijnen zullen verdwijnen
en grote doses energie en creativiteit, speciaal voor jou zullen verschijnen.
Dit wens ik je toe, met daarbij nog heel veel gezegende, en vernieuwende jaren vol liefde, warmte en frisse moed.
Alle 365 dagen van weer een nieuw jaar aan jouw zegeningen toegevoegd.
Vanuit heel mijn hart.
Jacomina.
With thanks to all my friends.

OMG!! It's Mark's B-Day? I'll be a day or two late, but I'll come up with something... Mark is an AWESOME human, and a wonderful artist.
This is perfect for him!

Lovely colours!

Jacomina, forgive me for coming to your upload 2 days late: I've been moving like a snail (naaktslak, ja?), like a big dinosaur. I love what you created: I see the green rising, I see the spring and rebirth...but I also see the flags, and those glorious whites weaving through your deep crimsons and greens, as if to say, "spring has come, and it's going to rush into everything". It's beautiful. I love it.
Like so many of your fractals, this has a center, a kind of nucleus (a kern, ja? a molecular "zaad"), and your whole fractal flows out of it. Gorgeous colors, beautiful rushing waves, a sea on the bottom, and those beautiful green squares on top (left side)---you're so creative, Jacomina, you create jewel-like universes everytime...And it all seems to sit upon a big beautiful piece of watercolor paper (Rives, a wonderful French paper maker comes to mind: I love your background here, too). It's beautiful---as always. Thank you so much.
And, re. your poem:
Thank you for the beautiful wishes for strength and rejuvenation. I appreciate them greatly. I have to accept that this year will involve several medical treatments, plus healing. It will take a long time. (Hey, I'm 75---I'm no "spring chicken," as we say in the states. Do you have that expression? Piepkuiken??? Ja? I'm like an aged dinosaur right now! You should see me...) So your words and rhymes, about reaining strength and blooming, are perfect. Thank you for all your kindness! And I see rhyme not only in your translation, but in several places in your original version. Also, your rhythm in Dutch is dancing. I'm sorry I can't read Dutch well: I know you put a lot of time into your poems, and I wish I knew Dutch well: Thank you for always translating for us. (If I translated this with an online translater, it would sound like this: "Vandaag het feest is/vlaggen wapperen in die de wind," etc. (Right?) Your translation is so smooth---complimenten! Chapeau! Thank you so much, Jacomina, I know you can't come to RR very often due to your health issues, and I'm very grateful you came here for this. I owe you a letter, and I'll write to you soon. But thank you for this wonderful birthday gift. And I wish you all the healing in the world, and the same for Karel. With blessings and thanks, happy maart! "De tulpen hebben bloemen, ja?" (well, almost), and a blessed Pasen to you too! (that's all the Dutch I know!), love and joy, mark

Beautiful piece!
