Eternal Flame - The Bangles
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand? Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming?
Or is this burning (burning) an eternal flame?
Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, oh
Calathea crocata also known as eternal flame is native to Brazil. It is an evergreen rhizomatous perennial. The ovate green leaves are feathered grey-green above and reddish beneath. The orange-red flowers are borne in a short, erect spike of orange bracts. After sunset, the leaves fold up. (www.jungledragon)
Today is Remembrance Day.
We pause for a minute at 1100 hours on 11/11 each year to remember. The time and date were chosen to commemorate the end of World War l and was originally known as Armistice Day and renamed Remembrance Day after World War ll.

The history of Philadelphia's Washington Square is grim and fascinating. Signs along the path indicate that this plaza was part of William Penn’s 1682 design for parks in Philadelphia. It became in the following decades a public graveyard for thousands of dead, including strangers to the area, those in poverty, those unable to be buried on church grounds, free and enslaved Africans, Native American smallpox victims, and townspeople along with Colonial and British soldiers who died of wounds or rampant illness in the city durning the Revolutionary War and British occupation. Finally over 1300 victims of a Yellow Fever epidemic in 1793 were interred here before the ground was closed to burials the following year.
The patriotic memorial to George Washington and the unknown soldier, installed in the 1950s, is also quite sobering and thought provoking. Inscriptions read:
"Freedom is a light for which many men have died in darkness"
"The independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint councils and joint efforts - of common dangers, suffering and success”
"In unmarked graves within this square lie thousands of unknown soldiers of Washington's Army who died of wounds and sickness during the Revolutionary War."
"Beneath this stone rests a soldier of Washington's army who died to give you liberty."

Die Flame Towers werden dem Ankommenden bereits vom Flugzeug aus sichtbar und beherrschen (ein wenig protzig) seit 2007 die Silhouette Bakus.
bereits 15 Jahre früher wurde der nebenstehende Turm errichtet. In seinem Inneren brennt eine sich nie verzehrende Flamme, die an den sogenannten "Schwarzen Januar" erinnern soll. 1990 wurden mehr als 120 Menschen bei der Niederschlagung eines Aufstandes durch sowjetische Soldaten getötet. Die meisten der Opfern waren Aseris...

Leider war eine Woche Baku nicht lang genug, um diesem Ort ebenfalls einen Besuch abzustatten, deshalb kann ich euch hier nur einen Gesamteindruck des Stadtbilds mit den beiden "feurigen" Wahrzeichen vermitteln.

There are many "eternal flames" around the world, but the one in Chestnut Ridge Park here in NY is special for a few reasons. Typically, eternal flames are fueled by extremely hot, ancient rocks buried beneath the earth's surface. In Chestnut Ridge, these rocks aren't hot enough to create our beloved flame. Instead, there is a natural seep of ethane and propane gases--the highest concentration of these gases in any seep in the world, it seems. More interesting yet is the juxtaposition of Chestnut Ridge's eternal flame against a beautiful cascade of water. It is said that Native Americans were the first to light this waterfall aflame thousands of years ago!
Another Everlasting Flower shut up till the sun shines again today. Lots of rain about - I can see a hint of sun now though - Yay :))x

We pause to remember, on this day, the 25th of April all those who gave the Supreme Sacrifice in war through the years and to thank those who returned from the many and various theatres of war through the years.
As the Eternal Flame burns forever, so we must never forget.

Lelutka - "Andrea" Male Bento Mesh Head - Coming Soon on Sep 22 .
In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Eternal Flame by The Bangles
Candle In The Dark
We cross the meadow; cannot wait
impatient for the golden hour
that time of day when sunlight dazzles
dappled shade of trees and flowers
suffuses light as soft as silk
paints the sky with buttermilk.
When darkness comes I'm unafraid
you're there with me my hand in yours
We light a fire within our hearts
you are my candle in the dark
The burning flames that dance and flickr
rekindle love that once shone bright
the shimmering heat is visible
like mottled glass before the light
the last vestige of watery sun
falls silently into the night
Our initials in the fire
retrace the pattern of desire
and let the sweetness of the hour
burn in our memories forever
