The hermitage exhibition in 2019 on Jewellery
Jewelery from flamboyant tsarinas such as Elisabeth and Catherine the Great, but also grand dukes and noble families from the turnaround and middle age. They took portraits of several painters and wore great dresses and costumes on special occasions. They are very consciously jewelry. Jewels determined their identity, displayed taste, origin and wealth. Sometimes they were also a provocation or contained hidden symbolism. They were ordered from European jewelery houses such as Boucheron and Cartier, master goldsmiths such as Claude Ballin and, of course, court supplier Fabergé

" 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
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.

This Apple blossom with its pink and white coloured flowers is one of four trees that we planted in our garden 36 months ago and we plan to plant a Cherry blossom tree soon. We love them; the birds love them and the environment needs them. We’re far from being saints when it comes to reducing our carbon footprint but we are conscious and ambitious about adapting our day-to-day-behaviours to protect the planet and wildlife.

Meet Liam, an alert and aware pilot for Talkeetna Air Taxi in Alaska who flew us on a most memorable aerial tour of Denali National Park. Lucky me, I got to sit in the co-pilot's seat :) Photos to follow!

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.
This is a work by the artist Kader Attia, which he actually named Couscous.
This is also a work by a photographer who thought the work was called something else for the longest time and read Couscous as Conscious.
This is a work by a human who wakes up in the middle of the night, thinking dead people are alive and that she should call them. And that same human can't get back to sleep.
This is a work by a human who suffers, laments, thinks a lot about life and realizes this is what separates the conscious from the unconscious.
This is a work of someone who is interested in all layers of consciousness and wish her subconscious would communicate more with her non subconscious so that she knew how she truly felt about reality before she went to sleep and was unconscious.
This is also the work of someone who feels that to be conscious means one must have a conscience.
This is the work by a human who struggles with the idea that she would ever really be unconscious even if she were in a coma.
This is the work of a human who is wondering if she is actually in a coma and all of this is a very vivid presentation of how her brain is still experiencing life in a separate dimension than what we would always classify.
This is the work of magic desolation, textures, and light. Let's keep thinking about these things and realizing things about ourselves.
This is a reason why humanity might be worth saving after all.

He is self-conscious because everyone knows he has wings
but they've never seen him fly. Now and then there will be a
feather in odd places or maybe a footprint to show he was there.
All in all, he thinks it's nobody else's business what he does with his free time.

"enjoying my life, having a good time here, no stress, I try to be very conscious about that. Being nice and respectful to the people around me is very important to me, too. Trying to make my own little universe, with everything in it, a little bit better, that's what I do here on this planet :-) "
conscious of this, and having tradesman-like habits, supplies their demands ;-)

Sometimes there is a different way of seeing the world that goes beyond our conscious thinking...a level above or below perhaps. However, every once and a while a glimpse will appear, like a shadow in the night, or a fox on the run and we, so sublimely stuck in a neutral presence of thought, scarcely register the anomaly but, it is there...oh, it is there.

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

" During the day ... I was singing with you ...
At night we slept in the same bed.
I wasn't conscious day or night ...
I thought I knew who I was ....
but I was you. "

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
