A rising flower makes a garden
Een rijzende bloem vormt een tuin
Ratu R. Saraswati
2022
On the opening day, Saras reads the script she wrote for the neighbours and guests who gathered on 10 December 2022.
Do you know that there is no scarcity in heaven?
Is that true that there is no scarcity in heaven?
Who told you that there is no scarcity in heaven?
Weet jij dat er geen tekorten in de Hemel zijn?
Is het waar dat er geen tekorten in de Hemel zijn?
Wie heeft jou verteld dat er geen tekorten in de Hemel zijn?
