today is lulu's birthday!
20 years ago today she was born in australia .. and, despite the vastness of this earth, she somehow found her way to me.
my gratitude to her for this ~ and to the universe for her ~ is horizonless
when here on earth, lulu was my dogther and heartchild ... she is also bodhisattva
in this photograph of her you can see this .. the powerful, deep, penetrating Goodness & Light from her eyes and her soul *
there was not a time in any day, during the years we were side by side here in the physical, that i did not shake my head with awe & wonder at how this could be... the Divine Benevolence! that she was here.. and with me.
(just being in the presence of a bodhisattva in one's lifetime is a gift beyond measure .. and, when such a being comes dressed in a doggie costume! and you are her mother! its filled with the great joyful laughter of the universe too :)
though i miss .. so much .. the physicalness of her right here to touch and breathe in and care for .. and our sharing of Life ..
thru every single day, she still manages to be present .. even to bring laughter and surprise gifts
and also to travel to anyone who thinks of her with Love ~ bringing joy and healing ... so many stories of this.. :)
♥
≈ happy birthday, dearest lulu!! ≈
thank you for being here on earth .. and for finding me ... and, now, for continuing to shine palpable Lovelight everywhere you are .. which is everywhere !
i hope and trust when its my moment of transition into Fullness of Spirit, it will be you and your tutu, my mom, who are the first lights i see ** ~ and i will run to you :)
i smile to the core of my heart at the very thought of you
and Love you forever
thank you *

spirit flows
when uploading images from Christmas evening, saw here what looks like the giant footprint of Great Spirit in the sand.
i believe that Spirit offered this brief moment's sighting as a reminder that, even when we walk our rockiest paths ..
Love is always with us *
especially in these days before the light of a new year dawns, may we each know this is so in our very heart of hearts
you were aimed from birth .. you are not alone
the whole wide world pours down
~ william stafford
(so this morning when thinking about posting this image, i kept hearing these words in my mind.. so guess they're meant to be written here :)
the full circle of life begins with love and completes with Love
the sole necessary ingredient in the middle is kindness

Commande et destination : Cette grande peinture religieuse fut commandée pour orner le chœur de la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris dans le cadre d’un ensemble monumental de scènes mariales, financé par le chanoine Antoine de La Porte.
Elle appartenait au chapitre de Notre-Dame puis fut confiée au musée du Louvre avant d’être restaurée et réinstallée dans la cathédrale récemment.
Description visuelle de la scène
L’œuvre représente l’un des épisodes les plus importants du Nouveau Testament :
L’Annonciation
Ce thème biblique raconte le moment où l’ange Gabriel annonce à la Vierge Marie qu’elle portera le Fils de Dieu (cf. Évangile selon Luc). Hallé le peint ici avec une grande théâtralité visuelle :
L’archange Gabriel, à gauche, est représenté avec vigueur, en mouvement, comme s’il venait d’entrer dans l’espace sacré.
La Vierge Marie, agenouillée à droite, apparaît humble, recueillie, dans un geste de profonde intériorité.
L’Esprit Saint, souvent symbolisé par une colombe lumineuse descendante dans ce type de sujet, structure l’espace céleste entre l’ange et la Vierge.
La composition est équilibrée entre un espace céleste tourbillonnant de lumière et de nuées et un espace terrestre calme où Marie est figurée.
Les putti (angelots) et figures célestes aux contours vaporeux contribuent à l’effet d’une scène sacrée enveloppée de lumière divine.
L’ensemble crée une tension dramatique et spirituelle propre au grand art religieux de l’époque.
Style et langage pictural
Un classicisme vibrant
Hallé appartient à une génération influencée par le classicisme français tardif, mêlé à des influences baroques :
Clarté narrative : la scène est lisible immédiatement, fidèle à l’iconographie chrétienne traditionnelle.
Dramatisation maîtrisée : les figures, si elles sont animées, restent ancrées dans une grande sérénité intérieure.
Palette lumineuse : elle met en relief les tissus, les carnations, et surtout les contrastes entre la lumière céleste et l’ombre terrestre.
Placement monumental : l’échelle du tableau et la posture des personnages sont conçues pour être vue du bas, depuis l’espace liturgique.
Ce style reflète un grand art religieux français qui, à l’orée du XVIIIᵉ siècle, cherche à concilier narration claire et émotion spirituelle.
Symbolisme et signification
Symboles majeurs
L’ange Gabriel représente l’annonce et le messager de Dieu.
Marie, par sa posture et son regard, symbolise l’acceptation humble et obéissante à la volonté divine.
La lumière et la colombe représentent l’intervention directe de l’Esprit Saint.
Le contraste lumière/ombre suggère la révélation de la grâce sur le monde terrestre.
Dimension spirituelle
Cette scène exprime un moment clé de la théologie chrétienne : l’incarnation du Verbe. Hallé met en scène une rencontre entre le divin et l’humain, célébrant la foi, l’obéissance et la lumière céleste. L’œuvre était destinée à inspirer la méditation des fidèles dans le cadre de la liturgie de la cathédrale.
Histoire et postérité
La toile fut commandée vers 1715–1717 pour remplacer une première version antérieure.
Elle servit au décor du chœur de Notre-Dame jusqu’à la Révolution, puis fut déposée, saisie, remontée dans la cathédrale, puis donnée au Louvre en 1862.
Après une restauration au début du XXIᵉ siècle, elle a repris sa place dans la cathédrale Notre-Dame après les travaux de restauration du monument.
Conclusion
L’Annonciation de Claude-Guy Hallé est une peinture d’une grande intensité spirituelle et artistique, conjuguant une narration claire de l’épisode évangélique avec une maîtrise picturale classique qui invite à la méditation et à l’émerveillement.
Sa composition, sa lumière, et son iconographie font de cette œuvre un des chefs-d’œuvre majeurs de la peinture religieuse française du début du XVIIIᵉ siècle.

“With the grace of God and the effort of will we obtain the excellence of virtue”
Ludwig Seitz (1844–1908), Galleria dei Candelabri, Vatican
Painting shows Divine Grace and Human Works exemplified by an Angel showing the Sun
to an old Labouring man. Without the Sun, the labourer`s works are useless. Just as
the Sun brings about the material works of man, Grace vivifies and sanctifies the
works of the Spirit
Strange and utterly surreal "installation" I found in one of Berlin's churches being used for art exhibitions nowadays.
This towering golden statue stands gracefully against a backdrop of serene mountains and a lightly clouded sky, symbolizing peace and spiritual presence. Depicting a divine feminine figure—possibly Guan Yin or a form of Tara—the sculpture exudes elegance and tranquility.
