" A child within
Has healing ways
It sees me through
My darkest days
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine "

Catching the Butterfly

Quote by Rhonda Byrne:
“Your life is in your hands. No matter where you are now, no matter what has happened in your life,you can begin to consciously choose your thoughts, and you can change your life.There is no such thing as a hopeless situation.Every single circumstance of your life can change!”
I was conscious of that moment of stepping into the woods and leaving everything else behind. That one instant when all the sounds of people, of traffic, of doors opening and closing, were suddenly gone, swallowed up by trees and ferns. It was like a curtain falling on a stage, and I waited for that moment every time. My heart opened just a little bit wider.
~ Lynn Thomson
Oblivious to the world around me, I am content in my ignorance.
Vaguely aware of the obvious, I am nearly conscious of my own deficiency.
Curiousity stirring in semi-consciousness, I am motivated to attend an opportunity.
Finally focused and aware, I am still unprepared for the cognitive dissonance.
Disturbed by the new revelation, I am determined to resolve true understanding.
Determined to fathom the reason, I discover many layers of nuance.
Dazzled by the complexity of it all, I am nearly overwhelmed by the challenge.
Resolved to achieve mastery, I decide to follow every thread of detail.
Soaked in the finer points and all their implications, I finally approach something near the enlightenment of nirvana.
Thoughts, by me.
I am not generally that successful at bird photography even when I have consciously gone out to see birds. This shot of the chaffinch was pure luck. Mary and I were on a walk recently I had taken a shot or two of some wild flowers . I spotted the bird and took a couple of shots without changing settings not really expecting anything reasonable. In fact I am quite pleased with this one I know it could be sharper but for a grab shot its not too bad . It is very heavily cropped
Hope you are all managing to cope in this strange New World we are living in . Of course I hope you and yours remain well and safe
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED

THE CRYING GAME – BRENDA LEE
Just for a moment
share a little of yourself
share a little dream with me
Just for a moment
spare a little of your time
spare a little that would be mine
Just for a moment
care a little for yourself
care a little more for me
Just for a moment
pray a little prayer for us
pray a little prayer for me
Just for a moment
lay a little smile upon me
lay a little while with me
Just for a moment
stay a little while longer
stay a little while with me
Just for a moment
stray a little towards my dreams
stray a little for nothing my love
is ever what it seems
and in the morning when I wake
and look towards the window where the lake
shimmers in the morning light
I still dream, my love
I still dream …

"The conscious mind may be compared to a fountain playing in the sun and falling back into the great subterranean pool of subconscious from which it rises...."
- by Sigmund Freud
Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level.

be conscious of yourself as consciousness alone,
watch all the thoughts come and go.
Come to the conclusion, by direct experience,
that you are really consciousness itself,
not its ephemeral contents.
.....
Clouds come and go in the sky,
but the appearance and disappearance or the clouds
doesn't affect the sky.
Your real nature is like the sky, like space.
Just remain like the sky
and let thought clouds come and go.

another dedication on my father's day of passing.
He gave me this guitar that you see here in the year 1978.
It was good to do a coastal walk after visiting the Priory. I liked this bird art it was so well done. Holy Island or is not a big island but there are quite a few houses these people will all be conscious of the tide times as the island gets cuts of when the tide comes in.
Mostly like the American painter Thomas Hart Benton… But I wasn’t conscious of it when I took it. I love his sense of rolling motion as an image of America.

" That's hard, two, three, five
Maybe if I had something to say
Butterfly effect from the last three days now
Maybe if I had something to save
I used to have a soul until I threw it away
There's shadows on the wall, wish I would've ran (yeah)
Gotta get away I hope you understand (yeah)
I try to hide my face like a wanted man (yeah)
Maybe I'll be gone before you count to ten, huh
I made up my mind this evening
I'm taking the last, I'm taking the last
Drink while my conscious eats me
I'm taking the last, I'm taking the last
I'm ready to let you go
I'm ready to let you go
I'm ready to let you go
This time is the last
This time is the last
Maybe if we went another way (another way)
I wouldn't be regretting the decisions that I made, ah
I don't want to spend another day (another way)
Looking for somebody that I know I can't replace
My tears fall, you don't miss me
Put me out my misery
Think my heart is history
I think I'm broke and nothing can fix me
I made up my mind this evening
I'm taking the last, I'm taking the last
Drink while my conscious eats me
I'm taking the last, I'm taking the last
I'm ready to let you go
I'm ready to let you go
I'm ready to let you go
This time is the last
This time is the last
Yeah, maybe (woah-woah-woah)
We were built to fall apart (woah-woah-woah)
But I can't feel you now (woah-woah-woah)
And it's too late now there's no point screaming (woah-woah-woah)
Dug your grave, so fuck your feelings (woah-woah-woah)
No one's here so now you're on your own (woah-woah-woah)
I made up my mind this evening
I'm taking the last, I'm taking the last
Drink while my conscious eats me
I'm taking the last, I'm taking the last

㋛ Happy Monday!!
As we bid farewell to 2023, a year that may not have shone as brightly as we had hoped (at least for me), let's welcome 2024 with open hearts and the anticipation of better days ahead. Like the spark in the picture I'm holding, life is ephemeral, fleeting, and filled with moments that can light up our souls.
In the midst of the challenges and uncertainties of the past year, let's take a moment to reflect on the profound truth that life is too short to be anything but happy. Let's make a conscious effort to embrace joy, seek adventure, and do what truly makes us happy. Surround yourselves with loving friends and the right people who lift you higher, for they are the ones who make the journey worthwhile.
2023 may not have been the brightest of years, but it gifted us with new experiences and valuable lessons. Every challenge was an opportunity to grow, learn, and emerge stronger. As we step into 2024, let's carry with us the wisdom gained from our trials and tribulations, using them as stepping stones toward a brighter future.
Gratitude fills our hearts for the friendships that stood the test of time, the laughter that echoed through both good and tough times, and the shared moments that made our lives richer. As we welcome the new year, let's continue to appreciate the beauty of these connections and nurture the bonds that make life truly meaningful.
Here's to a year filled with brilliant moments, boundless joy, and the courage to chase our dreams. May 2024 be a canvas waiting for the strokes of our adventures—a year where we create memories that will forever light up our hearts.
I wish you all a happy new year filled with love, laughter, and the promise of brighter days.
Cheers to 2024!

I have to be conscious, if you like, of the impossibility of photography :-)

as one might suspect, the stair owners are the same artists who created the colorful glass objects in recent posts.
“I am more consciously and peacefully united with God’s will. I am more completely determined to abandon all care for my own interests into God’s hands through our Lady, even and especially my highest spiritual interests. I am no longer taking care of my own progress and my own sanctity because it is hopeless. I leave it to Mary’s direction, to the Living Christ within me, acting in me, controlling all that I do for His love. It is true, for the moment at least, He seems to have a much fuller control.
“All that matters is to give everything, and the quicker, the better. Fighting, struggling, rebelling, delaying make it harder, but not more meritorious. On the contrary, less. So it is fruitless to multiply difficulties and delays. Give everything and give it in the quickest possible way. All that matters is the gift. That is what pleases God, atones for sin, converts the world, and leads us into the joys of heaven even here on earth.”
- Thomas Merton (July 20, 1947) from A Year with Thomas Merton

Necessity is blind until it becomes conscious. Freedom is the consciousness of necessity.
Karl Marx
The desire of gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom and benefit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please but as the opportunity to do what is right.
Peter Marshall
Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.
John F. Kennedy
No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.
Paulo Coelho, “Eleven Minutes”
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
Martin Luther King Jr.
People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.
Søren Kierkegaard
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Albert Camus
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️
In our earth-lab, a life form has existed randomly, thanks to the reaction of atoms of the ingredients which were already there, in the lab, for the creation of this life form. It has started to develop and expand on the earth, randomly. Later, after billions of years, it got conscious, randomly , but not all life forms have headed to the same direction. The evolution occurred according "the tree of life”.
Speculation:
Big bang has sealed the fate of our future by creating the atom based universe, like all the necessary ingredients were put in a beaker, in a chemical lab, to become the expected ( not randomly) chemical solution.
A life form is the expected result, depending of the time, of the existence and reaction of ingredients in a beaker.
