Won't you give me a ride

Take me to the higher plane

The plane of being

The plane of dignity

The plane of existence

I could lie amongst these woolly creatures with their serene calm; their peaceful existence broken only by the musical bleats of their harmonic flock communication.

Red roses for you, who are mother, friend, wife, daughter, sister... You who are a woman and know how to show your strength without losing your delicacy.

May your day and your life be very special and covered in blessings.

 

As most of my Flickr contacts are male, I want to extend these wishes to the women around them, who make easier their existence on this troubled planet.

 

Happy International Woman's Day!

...

when I am another, my acts

are more mine when they are the acts

of others, in order to be I must be another,

leave myself, search for myself

in the others, the others that don't exist

if I don't exist, the others that give me

total existence, I am not,

there is no I, we are always us,

life is other, always there,

further off, beyond you and

beyond me, always on the horizon,

life which unlives us and makes us strangers,

that invents our face and wears it away...

Teleport To Access

On February 17, 7 years ago, precisely on the day of the Cat in Italy, Zarpazos appeared unexpectedly in our lives.

Unfortunately, he has not been with us for 3 years but his memory will accompany us for the rest of our existence

.

Zarpazos, 7 años en nuestros corazones💕

El 17 de febrero de hace 7 años, precisamente el día del Gato en Italia, Zarpazos apareció inesperadamente en nuestras vidas.

Desgraciadamente hace 3 años que ya no está con nosotros pero su recuerdo nos acompañará el resto de nuestra existencia

Existence is short but if you need me

You can find me trapped between

The open mouth of the sky monster

Glaring eyes above and below

Teeth that pierce the clouds

A forest face and a dense destructive blue

 

Please note that my call back hours are short

The internet connection is quite drained

It is better to visit in person or

Write your tender message

On a folded fortune cookie strip

and blow it upwards.

A solitary pansy ekes out an existence in a narrow crack between the paving stones where ants have disturbed the soil below allowing it to find enough nutrients to survive.

If you surrendered to the air, you could ride it.

Happy Slider Sunday

Something different and high key.

For all the time of its existence, fortress has changed 3 names. The original name is Agarani (historians have identified it as Kojris tsikhe). It is located on Mount Azeula (Trialeti Ridge). The exact date of construction of the fortress is unknown. According to archaeologists, it was built in the late eighth-early ninth century. It controlled the caravan route from Gardabani to Shida Kartli and from Tbilisi to Trialeti.

 

Since 1080, the fortress passes to the Seljuk Turks. Under their rule, the name Ker Oglu appears. This name is common to this day. Then the fortress passes to Emir Fadlun.

 

1118. The fortress was recaptured by David IV Agmashenebeli (the Builder) from the Ganja Emir Fadlun. After some time, the fortress again passes to the emir, then, after three months of fighting, the fortress again passed to David. In 1123, David IV gave the fortress to Prince Ioane Orbeli.

 

1177. The fortress appears in the history of the uprising against Tsar George III (the father of Queen Tamar). The princes of Orbeli (or Orbeliani) did not share something with the king, they made a noise. The rebels took refuge in the fortress, and in the same year the fortress was taken by storm. As a result, the Knizia were defeated, losing all their lands.

 

And what about without Queen Tamar (1184-1212). The chronicles mention that Tamara, who was seriously ill, spent about six months here.

 

Since the XV century, Agarani belongs to the Solagashvili family and appears in the sources as Kojris-tsikhe. The ruins of the Kabensky Monastery are relatively close by. One of the churches was a tomb of this kind.

 

In 1488, Iranian troops besieged the Kojor fortress. After that, the fortress does not particularly appear in the chronicles. Only the appearance of the palace in the XVII century is mentioned. There were no other key events in the history of the fortress.

I like the way this sits alone. Seems a shame. I have never seen any sign of occupation.
