I seem to have temporarily (at least I hope it's temporary) lost my sense of aesthetic discernment where my own work is concerned.
Any good?
(I invite all comments, brutal and otherwise.)
“One hears many people say both in this country and in Europe that abstract art has seen its day, that it was an ism now gone out of style. Those who say this have no idea what abstract art is about, for it is in its infancy, its possibilities have only begun to be explored. Abstract expressionism is only a small phase of the large evolution of abstract art. Abstract art is as deep as the recesses of man’s imagination, as wide as the breadth of his capabilities; and, having once tasted these possibilities, I believe art will not long be satisfied with less.”
--Cleve Gray (1965)

The second word
We have recorded
on the second leaf of Paradise
is the following:
"The Pen of the Divine Expounder
exhorteth, at this moment,
the manifestations of authority
and the sources of power,
namely the kings and rulers of the earth
-- may God assist them --
and enjoineth them
to uphold the cause of religion,
and to cleave unto it.
Religion is, verily, the chief instrument
for the establishment of order in the world,
and of tranquillity amongst its peoples.
The weakening of the pillars of religion
hath strengthened the foolish,
and emboldened them,
and made them more arrogant.
Verily I say:
The greater the decline of religion,
the more grievous the waywardness
of the ungodly.
This cannot but lead
in the end to chaos and confusion.
Hear Me, O men of insight,
and be warned,
ye who are endued with discernment!"
Baha'u'llah
(n.) Like weather forecasts, correct to often to ignore and wrong too often to trust.

Metaphysical Healing Properties Of Dendritic Quartz
Assists one in reconnecting to the earth, the elemental kingdom and accessing past life information from Lemurian times. Works with all the chakras, stimulating, clearing and purifying.
It creates a peaceful environment and encourages the enjoyment of each moment. Deepens your connection to the earth.
Dendritic Quartz aids in the re-connection process to the higher self. The manganese crystals that form the dendrites resembling small branches create the frequency of unity and co-operation.
Metaphysical Healing Properties Of Dendritic Quartz
On a more subtle level, dendritic quartz helps the bearer to maintain equilibrium in a period when one’s life path presents a tangled mass of possibilities, and facilitates clear thinking and spiritual guidance which are necessary to enable the highest form of discernment, enabling the bearer to understand complex situations and to choose the one path forward which will be for the best and highest good of all concerned.
It is beneficial for those with their Chiron in Aquarius. It also has a balancing and grounding effect on the physical body.

Astrological Sign: Gemini
Chakra: All

Ahh--the dreaded on-call phone. It's my week to have the phone. Since it's move-in week it could be really easy because there's not a lot of students on campus. Or it could be really bad in dealing with emergencies, complaints, and general shenanigans of people celebrating the beginning of the school year. As it is every time I'm on call, my prayer is for wisdom, discernment, and no naked students.

Lesson 10: Believe in Truth, 2021
Illustration for On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder
(New York: Ten Speed Press, 2021)
Photograph, crayon, and pencil on paper
For the printed page, Krug digitally combined a photograph from a World War II German soldier's album with an omnipotent eye on a hand with its fingers crossed. Her image underscores Snyder's observation that "the final mode is misplaced faith. It involves the sort of self-deifying claims a president made when he said that 'I alone can solve it' or 'I am your voice.' When faith descends from heaven to earth in this way, no room remains for the small truths of our individual discernment and experience." Once truth has become oracular rather than factual, evidence becomes irrelevant.

A carefully covered picnic table will be the altar today, as Glenmary Fathers Richard Toboso and José Carlos Miguel López vest for Mass among chicken coops and mobile homes. Crucifix, chalice, and paten are from the portable Mass kit—here, small is beautiful.

Don't freak out. Also my roommate Andrew Yff's work: third eye is one of the most important chakras, in the middle of your forehead, and has to do with discernment and focus. I'm not sure what that thing is; it's since semi-dismantled, but the image is riveting.
