...
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...

Large flocks of Horned Larks huddled together on a freezing day with windchills in the -50s. If you zoom in you’ll see frost forming around their eyes.
Existence is not a reflection, it is not flying in the air or walking on water, but walking on the earth and leaving your mark.

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.

“Any new possibility that existence acquires, even the least likely, transforms everything about existence.”
Milan Kundera
Slowness. 1995
«Cada nueva posibilidad de la existencia, incluso la menos probable, transforma la existencia entera»
La lentitud. 1995
Milan Kundera (UK: /ˈkʊndərə, ˈkʌn-/, Czech: [ˈmɪlan ˈkundɛra]; 1 April 1929 – 11 July 2023) was a Czech-born French novelist. Kundera went into exile in France in 1975, acquiring citizenship in 1981. His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979 but he was re-granted Czech citizenship in 2019.
One of my favorite writers ever. Rest in peace.
This image serves as a call to action, urging us to acknowledge the existence of marginalized communities and their struggle for basic necessities. It prompts reflection on the systemic issues that perpetuate poverty and the need for collective efforts to create a more equitable world. While the girl's identity remains anonymous, her indomitable spirit shines through, leaving a lasting impact on those who encounter her gaze.
You were taken away by the wind,
but a breeze brought me the most beautiful whisper...
...What we have in our hearts is the only truth,
and if we deny it, we deny our own existence.
Philosophy, most broadly viewed, is the critical survey of existence from the standpoint of value.
[Sidney Hook]
Older image. Pre-pandemic.
I like the way this sits alone. Seems a shame. I have never seen any sign of occupation.
