A Celebration of Imagination, Reflection, and the Magic of Making with a Fable & Virtual Art Exhibition to illustrate it.

Finn bloggposten på svenska > HÄR.

On April 15th, we mark World Art Day—a global celebration of the universal language of art and its vital role in a world of rapid change. In times of acceleration, art invites us to pause. To feel. To sense what lies beneath the surface. To imagine what does not yet exist.

This year’s theme, “A Garden of Expression: Cultivating Community Through Art,” reminds us that creativity isn’t confined to galleries or stages. It lives in conversations, in acts of courage, and in how we dream together. At a time when technology redefines our daily lives and certainty feels fleeting, we need more than efficiency—we need meaning. We need reflection. We need creativity.

It’s no coincidence that World Art Day is celebrated on the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci—a master who defied definition. 

He painted, yes—but also engineered, studied anatomy, built prototypes, wrote in mirrored code, and wandered through wonder. He painted the invisible. He prototyped the impossible. And even now, he whispers to us:

“True creativity isn’t about perfection—it’s about infinite curiosity.”

So today, whether you hold a brush, a pen, a conversation, or simply a moment of quiet, take a breath—and honor the creative force that makes us human.

The Bloom of Us

A Fable of Thirteen Bunnies, Big Dreams, and Blooming Togetherness

Once upon a time, in a quiet valley called Bloomville, spring arrived—but something was missing. The trees stood still. The flowers stayed hidden beneath the soil. The birds remained silent. People went about their lives with heavy steps and tired hearts, caught in routines and rules, as if the color had drained from the world. The hum of creativity—the pulse of imagination—was gone.

But deep beneath the surface, in cozy nests and hidden hollows, thirteen Easter Bunnies began to stir. These were not ordinary bunnies. Each wore a different color. Each carried a unique kind of creative magic. And on that very night, each one dreamed the same dream.

They saw a parade. A wondrous, wild, joyful thing. It wasn’t just about eggs or flowers. It was about transformation. The dream whispered a message: Creativity is bigger than any one of us. And when shared, it can bloom through everything—self, society, and even business.

The first to speak her dream aloud was Skyla, the Dream Bunny, light blue like the morning sky. “The wind told me,” she said, “that we need to remind the world how to imagine again.”

Down by the water, Riverlyn, green and blue like moss and stream, lifted her head. “Let’s meet at sunrise in the Willow Circle,” she said. “All of us.”

And so they came.

From hills and hollows, forests and fields, the bunnies emerged like dawn itself—carrying color, energy, and purpose. They came with light in their eyes and rhythm in their paws. Their arrival was like a poem in motion, each one adding a stanza to the living story that was about to unfold.

Skyla brought dreams that floated high above the treetops, inviting the impossible to feel within reach. Riverlyn moved like a gentle tide between logic and magic, helping ideas flow freely. Lilabelle carried a swirl of imagination in every step, her lilac fur shimmering like a canvas not yet painted. Brindle brought grounding stories etched in memory and stone, his quiet wisdom giving the circle its roots.

Lavina moved softly, like breath after a storm, her presence creating instant calm. Turqina’s eyes sparkled with invention, ideas tumbling behind her like windblown petals. Mossimo smelled of earth and bark, steady and strong, carrying the knowing of how to build beauty from the simplest things. Verna followed with a hush of green life trailing behind her, her every step nurturing something new.

Sunfi darted in with a grin and a question, always the spark of curiosity asking, “What if?” Luma brought warmth like morning sunlight, joy radiating from her like a melody. Pearla’s kindness was quiet but vast, a soft strength that held space for others to feel safe enough to shine. Celestino’s gaze seemed to see beyond time, already dreaming what others had yet to imagine. And Crimsy arrived like a heartbeat—bold, red, and unstoppable—ready to turn dreams into movement.

Together, they formed a circle of possibility beneath the great willow tree, where the air shimmered with potential and the earth felt ready to begin again. And there, in the hush of early morning, they knew: the dream had chosen them.

“We need to create a parade,” said Crimsy. “One that’s not just for show—but for change.”
“Not just by us,” added Pearla, “but with everyone. Co-created. Alive.”

So they began.

Skyla dreamed up a floating stage made of clouds and gentle light. Riverlyn mapped a path that wove through every neighborhood and hidden corner of Bloomville. Lilabelle painted invisible murals that only appeared when someone smiled. Brindle laid stepping stones engraved with lines of poetry, so the entire parade route became a living story.

Lavina planted pockets of stillness—gardens where even the busiest hearts could rest. Turqina built idea-catchers, little contraptions that buzzed when new thoughts passed by. Mossimo and Verna constructed blooming arches from branches and vines, ready to burst into blossom at just the right moment. Sunfi scattered curiosity cards through the town, each with a question to unlock someone’s wonder. Luma crafted sun-activated confetti that released laughter into the air. Pearla created kindness corners for writing notes, sharing thanks, and making amends. Celestino imagined the finale: a giant mirrored egg, tall as a tree, where each person could step inside and see not just their reflection, but their creative spark.

And Crimsy kept them moving—through doubts, through deadlines, through detours. She reminded them again and again: “This isn’t just a parade. It’s a remembering.”

When Easter morning arrived, the valley awoke to something it hadn’t felt in a long time—curiosity. Bells chimed from tulips. Invitations fluttered through the air like blossoms on the wind. A shimmering path of color ran through the town like a heartbeat, and people stepped outside, eyes wide, hearts open.

But the bunnies didn’t lead the parade. They stepped aside and opened the space.

Children danced with lanterns glowing with their dreams. Teenagers painted banners of hope and future visions. Shopkeepers turned their storefronts into little theaters of wonder. Elders shared old songs, forgotten skills, and stories that made people pause and feel again.

The town became a canvas. A conversation. A garden.

And when they reached the mirrored egg, people entered one by one—and found not just themselves, but their inner bloom. Their curiosity. Their courage. Their capacity to create.

That evening, as twilight brushed the hills with lavender and gold, the thirteen bunnies gathered again beneath the willow tree. They didn’t wait for applause. They simply watched as Bloomville glowed with new life. The people remembered. The color had returned.

And every year since, the Easter Parade has bloomed again—not led by bunnies, but by the people themselves.

Because the parade may have started with them.
But now—it blooms in you.

“Creativity isn’t about being the best.
It’s about being brave enough to bloom—together.”
—The Bunnies of Bloomville

Easter Parade – A Poem

Easter brings a burst of light
As nature wakes from winter’s night
A symphony of colors bright
A sign of hope, a shining sight

The earth renews, with fresh new green
A time of growth, a lively scene
A promise of what’s yet unseen
A world of wonder, yet to glean

The trees stand tall, with leaves anew
A sign of life, that will ensue
A canvas painted, with colors true
A masterpiece, of nature’s view

The flowers bloom, with fragrant grace
A joyous dance, a smiling face
A gift of beauty, to embrace
A moment of awe, in time and space

Easter brings a new development
A chance for all, to reinvent
A time of hope, a heart’s ascent
A world of love, that is heaven-sent

May Easter bring a light so bright
That fills your heart, with pure delight
A journey of growth, that’s out of sight
A life of love, that’s full and right

Above part of the poem you can listen to as a song at the Art exhibition, below part of the poem, you can listen to here:

Now in the hills where dreams are spun,
The bunnies gather, one by one—
Skyla, blue like morning skies above,
She whispers dreams and calls forth love.

Riverlyn, in green and blue, flows free,
She guides our thoughts like streams to sea.
Lilabelle, in lilac light she glows,
She paints the worlds our hearts compose.

Brindle, wise with earthy tone,
He carves the truths we’ve always known.
Lavina, calm as springtime air,
She brings us peace beyond compare.

Turqina, bright with sparks that sing,
She builds from thought a wondrous thing.
Mossimo, with roots so deep,
He crafts from soil what hearts will keep.

Sunfi, playful, bold, and wise,
She asks new questions with wide eyes.
Luma, golden beam of cheer,
She spreads her joy from far to near.

Pearla, gentle, kind, and true,
She weaves connection through and through.
Celestino, soft and grand,
He sees the dreams that life has planned.

Crimsy, fierce with heart alight,
She sparks the fire to act with might.
Verna, green and full of grace,
She helps all bloom in time and space.

Together now, their gifts they share,
A living story in springtime air.
Not just a show, but something more—
A spark of change at every door.

So may this Easter gently call
The bloom inside of one and all.
For when we dare to dream and do,
The world begins to blossom too.
