"It has to do with a programmer who creates a whole collection of artificial virtual personalities in a virtual world, but he doesn't let them know that they're virtual. So they argue among themselves as to whether there exists a creator, and if so whether they owe him any gratitude for their existence.

It's interesting to think about the meaning of our existence by looking at the sculpture of a human standing on the ground floor of Tokyo Opera City Tower. Geometrical symmetry and reflection always provide a moment of peace to me.
Thank you very much for taking your precious time to view my photography!
While the fires and their resulting smoke appear under control, welcome clouds take their place in the skies above Lake Shuswap. Painterly reflections take on an art like complexion, while the sky expands to take in a breath of fresh air.
As the reflections come and go with each movement in the water, only one of my many attempts captures their fleeting existence.
My model is wearing the birthday swag hat. . I’m helping with the surprise birthday party in the mountains for my daughter who will turn 50. Her niece is showing off the hat in above photo of baby Socrates. She wanted to eat the very cool hat her mama made and is showing her love and support for her auntie by not chewing it up. . The truly big surprise is the richardson clan from Texas is coming for this party in ca it’s been years since I have seen my brother and nieces and nephews and their spouses. This will be a memorable occasion I am certain of it. By the time my brother Brian and I tell tall tales we’re kind of twin storytellers throwing little extra tidbits in the telling we will hopefully get everyone laughing like they normally do. I will have to control myself from desiring and stealing one of the three baby poodles that’s coming with my brothers youngest daughter. she has a dog for each kid and I was thinking I wanted to take one when I saw their portraits. :). I really wish my surprise nephew Caleb could make it. His dad my brother died 30 years ago and never knew of Caleb’s existence. Dna doesn’t lie and Caleb found me through Ancestry. My oldest girl Julie who the party is for did meet Caleb a month ago and really likes him. They hit it off great. The funny thing is my brother is or rather was a total womanizer literally in every sense of the word :) and I wonder if more unknown offspring will be revealed. That would really be something.
Whirling Dervishes, Sema Seb-i Arus, The Wedding Day
Sema is part of the inspiration of Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi as well as of Turkish custom, history, beliefs and culture. It is what we do as a form of remembrance of God.
From a scientific viewpoint we witness that contemporary science definitely confirms that the fundamental condition of our existence is to revolve. There is no object, no being which does not revolve and the shared similarity among beings is the revolution of the electrons, protons and neutrons in the atoms, which constitute the structure of each of them. As a consequence of this similarity, everything revolves and man carries on his live, his very existence by means of the revolution in the atoms, structural stones of his body, by the revolution of his blood, by his coming from the earth and return to it, by his revolving with earth itself.
However, all of these are natural, unconscious revolutions. But man is the possessor of a mind and intelligence which distinguishes him from and makes him superior to other beings. Thus the "whirling dervish" or Semazen causes the mind to participate in the shared similarity and revolution of all other beings… Otherwise, the Sema ceremony represents a mystical journey of man's spiritual ascent through mind and love to "Perfect". Turning towards the truth, his growth through love, desert his ego, find the truth and arrive to the "Perfect", then he return from this spiritual journey as a man who reached maturity and a greater perfection, so as to love and to be of service to the whole of creation, to all creatures without discrimination of believes, races, classes and nations.
Struggling for existence is the essences of life depicted here as we witness four people are struggling in the mid stream against the high tide for their smooth sailing. They remain calm and quite as they aware off their responsibility for safe voyage.

In our existence, we are but players lost within a labyrinth of our own making. The corridors of this maze are not built of stone or wood, but of time and thought. We are ensnared within the present, shackled by the chains of the past, and forever reaching towards the elusive future.
Rising from the water like the creation of an Expressionist artist, this twisted, distorted willow is an essential part of the diverse marshland habitat at Gray Lodge Preserve. It is estimated that over 1 million water fowl reside here from November through February. The amazing thing is that few people seem to know about this wonderful spot. We make a point to pay a visit every year during the peak months, and we rarely run into more than a handful of people--all of them bird lovers. Check it out if you live nearby.
