once you've been (and we stayed just across from Dante's statue), Florence becomes a part of your imagination and dream life. We've been 3 times to this magical city.
"La gloria di Colui che tutto move
per l'universo penetra e risplende
in una parte più e meno altrove."
"The glory of Him who moveth everything
Doth penetrate the universe, and shine
In one part more and in another less."
Incipit from "Dante Alighieri's Paradiso"
TRUTH
We all have our own truth
Credos that we abide by
It stops us falling into murky waters
Getting lost by the wayside
It can be difficult staying on the path
I wish I had Dante and Virgil at my side
Instead I rely on your light to guide me
Love like a burning flame inside
I knew it would not be easy
I have my own steep hills to climb
But I would do it all again if you asked me
At least I can say I have tried
This flame may die down into embers
Ready to ignite at your word
Such love can never be extinguished
Like a heart that never really dies
Can I still find my way through the forest
Navigate my way past the lies
See the truth of you in front of me
Answering all the tears that I have cried
I have been taking a little break from Flickr after my last upload of images. So consequently I am a bit behind with my usual thank you’s. So I thought I would place this up here in the meantime for you to thank you all for your support. Those of you who have got to know me and my work know how much these pieces mean to me, and the journey that led me to create them and share them here. Each poem is deeply felt and a reality to me, and can be emotionally challenging to write. I am learning that not only do I need time to create them, I also need time to rest in between them. Thank you again for all your kind words, faves and views. I would have found it difficult to keep going without you.
This image is the view towards the Altar beneath the East Window of Ripe Church, Sussex, UK, which has medieval fragments of the original stained glass set within the clear gothic window.
To see more of my images and poetry have a look at my website:
Hey, the italian site Pot Pourri Creativo added a link (check 31/7) to my Flickr page as reference to Arte Digitale. It's a cool site, worth the visit. Thanks pacorishi

Dante's View is a viewpoint terrace at 1,669 m (5,476 ft) height, on the north side of Coffin Peak, along the crest of the Black Mountains, overlooking Death Valley. Dante's View is named from Dante Alighieri, who wrote the Divina Commedia (Divine Comedy), in which there are described the nine circles of Hell, the seven terraces of Purgatory and the nine spheres of Paradise. ... The group was immediately persuaded and promptly called this point Dante's View. Dante’s View is the primary overlook in Death Valley National Park because it offers premier panoramic views. Below Dante’s View is Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America. Across the valley rises Telescope Peak, the highest in the park. Under the morning light, the views are breathtaking in every direction. It feels like cheating to be able to drive right up to such amazing views.
Hikers heading for an overlook, 5,475 feet above the floor of Death Valley. They will look down on the lowest point in North America (-262 feet).
Looking down into Dante's inferno as viscous fragments of lava, some the the size of refrigerators, are are thrown up towards the crater rim. Mt Tanna. Vanuatu.

When in the dark night I await your arrival, It seems to me that everything hangs by a thread. What are honors worth, even freedom, when she comes quick and plays the pipe? Look, there he comes! She throws aside her veil And he stares at me for a long time. I say: «Were you the one who dictated to Dante the pages on hell?» And she answers: "I am that one."

Death Valley, California. It was 118 degrees when I pulled into Furnace Creek, and still not at the lowest point of Death Valley. Up here I overlook Badwater, a big flat of alkali that is the drainage bowl of the mountains. Ever so often, a waft of hot air comes up from 5000 feet below me, and it doesn't feel right. I wonder if it was the fiery sunsets or the idea of an inferno in the Valley that inspired the name of this overlook. It's a severe place. What charachterizes this hard desert? Hurt, disappointment, heartache, broken dreams? It's interesting that people describe hell as being down below somewhere, when actually we carry it with us no matter the altitude. I am thinking it's gotten a bad reputaion, when another blast of hot air hits my face.
The 2022 CSX Santa Train leaves the small community of Dante as it continues south towards Kingsport. Once a major artery for the Clinchfield, Dante Yard is a shell of its former self, with the service facility at the south end slated for demolition, and switches severed from the siding on the north end. Nowadays, a small amount of stored company bethgons call Dante home, but they too will likely be pulled as CSX continues its onslaught of its older routes.
Dante’s View, Death Valley, California
A view of the salt flats from the mile high perch of Dante’s View. The golden hour sunlight has lit foreground shrubbery and the slopes below us.
Lo duca e io per quel cammino ascoso
intrammo a ritornar nel chiaro mondo;
e sanza cura aver d’alcun riposo,
salimmo sù, el primo e io secondo,
tanto ch’i’ vidi de le cose belle
che porta ’l ciel, per un pertugio tondo.
E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle.
(ovviamente Dante Alighieri - Inferno)
