Autumn, also known as Fall in American English and Canadian English, is one of the four temperate seasons. Outside the tropics, autumn marks the transition from summer to winter, in September (Northern Hemisphere) or March (Southern Hemisphere). Autumn is the season when the duration of daylight becomes noticeably shorter and the temperature cools considerably. Day length decreases and night length increases as the season progresses until the Winter Solstice in December (Northern Hemisphere) and June (Southern Hemisphere). One of its main features in temperate climates is the striking change in colour for the leaves of deciduous trees as they prepare to shed.

The traffic light is green for pedestrians but there is no one crossing the road. People are queuing for their turn to shop for groceries. I notice the tiredness in the eyes, the resignation as if there was no tomorrow. Who reads, who consults smartphones and who silently observes in a vacuum. Many electronic eyes monitor and a megaphone ready to speak. The traffic light is always green and I hope it is hopeful for everyone.

The Cathedral of the Transfiguration is a Catholic Byzantine house of worship named in honour of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ. The land on which the Cathedral stands was donated by the late Stephen Roman which "he built as a beacon of religious freedom". The Cathedral was modeled on a church in Novy Ruskov, the Slovak village where Mr. Roman was raised. Its cornerstone and altar stone were blessed by Pope John Paul II during his 1984 visit to Canada, marking this the first time a Roman Pontiff consecrated a church in North America.

"La chiesa di Santa Maria Portae Paradisi è un luogo di culto cattolico di Roma situato nel rione Campo Marzio, affacciata su via di Ripetta.

La chiesa, conosciuta già nel IX secolo con il nome di Santa Maria in Augusta, ebbe l'appellativo in Porta Paradisi o semplicemente Portae Paradisi perché nei suoi pressi si apriva una delle porte dei muri che circondavano il vicino Mausoleo di Augusto, detti paradiseiois, oppure perché adiacente v'era il cimitero (chiuso nel 1836 per motivi sanitari, a causa dell'epidemia di colera) dell'Ospedale di San Giacomo in Augusta, detto degli Incurabili: secondo la tradizione cristiana, il luogo che accoglie i fedeli per il sonno eterno si chiama "Paradiso", e "porta del paradiso" era il nome del luogo che vi immetteva: da qui il nome della chiesa, adibita a funzioni funebri e vicina all'antico cimitero dell'ospedale.

 

Nel XVI secolo la chiesa fu riedificata da Antonio da Sangallo il Giovane e in quell'occasione prese l'odierna denominazione. La sua facciata, che dà su via di Ripetta, è preceduta da un portichetto, ed ingloba un rilievo marmoreo raffigurante La Madonna col Bambino attribuito al Sansovino. L'interno si presenta a pianta ottagonale e conserva opere del Seicento di Pietro Paolo Ubaldini, Cosimo Fancelli, Paolo Naldini, Francesco Brunetti, Lorenzo Greuter. Sopra la cantoria in controfacciata si trova l'organo a canne Tamburini opus 447 del 1962, con 18 registri su due manuali e pedale."

Blackpool during Lockdown

seen in Goslar/ Harz in the morning, when all Europeans were ordered to return to their home, churches were closed and hospitals were full.

To believe on kismet, karma,fate, god's will or devil's revenge allow to live a somnambulic life. Science, scepticism, principle of scientific falsification, public control of scientific findings, democratic separation of powers are relevant to give next generations a chance to live in dignity.

Still her

Sorry friends, but I suffered from a damned Covid19 infection, although I had a complete series of vaccinations. Now I'm better, but not really well! Will take its time to recover.

 

Desolation is the framework for human ignorance that is rampant even in pandemic times.

The human being is the real pandemic ?!

“Wilting

over a couple of days

feels like an extended

shriveling transplant,

grafted into asphyxia,

rooted through cold light.

Someone whistles

body and soul

in the corridor.

Splayed specimen

belly down,

looking for a hole

to slip through

in the effulgent glare

the ice gives off.

Emanating from

liquid darkness

below someplace,

her touch

as remembered

waits.”

"So, who is going to suffer most from the economic and social costs of lockdown? The economically productive. And who are those few to die from the virus? Almost exclusively the economically unproductive! So, give them a fine label such as 'our most protected social bubble' and let the virus run free!"
