The Hymn of God's words "The Existence of All Mankind Rests on God"
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/hymn-existence-of-all-man...
Introduction
God’s final work is not just to punish man,
but to arrange man’s destination,
and to achieve everyone’s recognition of all that God has done for them.
God wants every single person to see that everything He’s done is correct,
that all that He has done is an expression of His disposition.
Without God, mankind can only perish and only be plagued by calamity;
no one will see the green world again,
nor the beauty of the sun and the moon.
Without God, man will cease moving forward;
without God, man can only suffer
and be trod upon by all manner of ghosts,
even though none take heed of Him.
Mankind shall only face the frigid night
and the inexorable valley of the shadow of death.
God is man’s only salvation, hope,
and the one on whom the existence of all mankind rests.
It is certainly not the doing of man, nor did nature create human beings.
Rather, it is God who nourishes every living soul among all things.
Without God, mankind can only perish and only be plagued by calamity;
no one will see the green world again,
nor the beauty of the sun and the moon.
Without God, man will cease moving forward;
without God, man can only suffer
and be trod upon by all manner of ghosts,
even though none take heed of Him.
The work that has been done by God cannot be replaced by anyone.
All He hopes is that man can repay Him
through deeds that are good, that are good.
The work that has been done by God cannot be replaced by anyone.
All He hopes is that man can repay Him
through deeds that are good, that are good.
Without God, man will cease moving forward;
without God, man can only suffer
and be trod upon by all manner of ghosts,
even though none take heed of Him.
Without God, man will cease moving forward;

À l’occasion de Cathédrale de Lumière, la Métropole Rouen Normandie et le festival Normandie Impressionniste confient au plasticien, dramaturge et metteur en scène américain Robert Wilson, la création de la nouvelle œuvre audiovisuelle projetée sur la façade du monument immortalisé par Monet. Une œuvre onirique, abstraite, qui met en perspective les textes de la poétesse africaine américaine Maya Angelou accompagnés des sublimes études pour piano de Philipp Glass.
Avec sa création rouennaise, il confronte son univers abstrait à un édifice solide et s’empare de l’histoire d’une ville qui a souffert, créant des images fortes d’où émergent la vulnérabilité et la beauté de l’existence humaine. Ce spectacle unique est une déclaration d’amour à l’histoire humaine, dans son sens le plus émouvant et complexe. Un rendez-vous artistique monumental à ne pas manquer.
Les poèmes sont lus en anglais par l’autrice et Bob Wilson lui-même, et en français par Isabelle Huppert qui prête sa voix au spectacle rouennais. Des élèves du collège Fontenelle et des lycées Corneille et Flaubert ont également enregistré des lectures des poèmes, en anglais et en français, dans le studio d’enregistrement du BTS audiovisuel du Lycée Corneille.
On the occasion of Cathédrale de Lumière, the Métropole Rouen Normandie and the Normandie Impressionniste festival have entrusted the American visual artist, playwright and director Robert Wilson with the creation of the new audiovisual work projected on the façade of the monument immortalized by Monet. A dreamlike, abstract work that puts into perspective the texts of the African American poet Maya Angelou accompanied by the sublime piano studies of Philipp Glass.
With his Rouen creation, he confronts his abstract universe with a solid building and seizes the history of a city that has suffered, creating powerful images from which emerge the vulnerability and beauty of human existence. This unique show is a declaration of love to human history, in its most moving and complex sense. A monumental artistic event not to be missed.
The poems are read in English by the author and Bob Wilson himself, and in French by Isabelle Huppert who lends her voice to the Rouen show. Students from Fontenelle College and Corneille and Flaubert High Schools also recorded readings of the poems, in English and French, in the BTS audiovisual recording studio at Corneille High School.
About a week ago, the three young Chipmunks emerged from their den for the first time to see their new world. One has it's back to me as it tries to go back down into the safety of it's home.
We had watched ma Chipmunk taking birdseed and such down the hole in the yard for a while and figured it won't be long now before the young show themselves. So, here we have another welcome family of Chipys to frolic around the yard and enjoy the offerings we can give them for a happy and peaceful existence.

Sakharibazar, Old Dhaka, 2011
Normal people with extraordinary lifestyles
Along with smile and the gloomy, here life has its own rhyme, has its own colour.
Time passed by, humanity changed along with its history...
But these people remained here tolerating the hardest truth of existences
..........its their story of extraordinary existences.
Sakharibazar, Old Dhaka. A very interesting place for all of us to visit. Culture and customs of old Dhaka are the tribute to the ancient history of Bangladesh. Peoples still living in 100 years old building from generations after generations. With the reflection of their religious beauty Old Dhaka attracts peoples from here and abroad.
Shakhari Bazaar is one of the oldest mohallas (a traditional neighbourhood) in Puran Dhaka (Old Dhaka), located near the intersection of Islampur Road and Nawabpur Road;the two main arteries of the old city and only a block away from the Buriganga River. Shakhari Bazaar stretches along a narrow lane, lined with thin slices of richly decorated brick buildings, built during the late Mughal or Colonial period. Despite rampant modifications, accretion, extension over time, even redevelopment, many still bear the testimony of a rich tradition.
Shakhari Bazaar is the manifestation of the irrational policies, lack of adequate development control rules and distorted legal framework, all of which have left their indelible mark on this precious little mohalla that shares a long history of more than 400 years with Dhaka city itself.The history of Shakhari Bazaar goes back to the pre-Mughal days if not earlier. The first mention of Puran Dhaka can be found in the writings of Mirza Nathan, the general turned historian, who traveled with Subahdar Islam Khan. He mentioned Puran Dhaka, as the area between Dholai Khal and Buriganga river covering Shakhari Bazaar, Tanti Bazaar, Bangla Bazaar, Lakhsmi Bazaar, Bangla Bazaar, Kamar Nagar, Sutar Nagar, Goala Nagar, etc. Each mohalla belonged to separate communities depending on their craft and trade. The influences of the Mughal vocabulary in the planning of the spaces are literally evident in the use of Persian names to identify different spaces..
是什麼 讓我遇見這樣的你
是什麼 讓我不再懷疑自己
是什麼 讓我不再害怕失去
在這茫茫人海裡
我不要變得透明
How was it that I met someone like you?
What was it that I no longer doubt myself?
What was it that I no longer fear loss?
In this vast sea of people,
I do not want to become invisible

我是宇宙間的塵埃
微不足道的一種狀態
偶然成了誰的最愛
多想相信永恆存在
I'm a speck of dust in the universe:
Negligible, insignificant
By chance I became someone's beloved,
And I want to believe in the existence of the eternal
我是宇宙間的塵埃
漂泊在這茫茫人海
若你是我必然的存在
多想從此不再離開
I'm but a speck of dust in the universe,
Floating amidst a sea of people
If you were to be my inevitable existence,
Then I'd never leave
若時間注定要讓你離開
我又該怎麼學會不依賴
If time decides to let you go,
How should I learn not to be dependent of you....

Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Mankind is about 140 thousand years old. If we compress the Earth's existence into a normal full day of 24 hours, then we’ve been on this planet for... 2.5 seconds.
In 2.5 seconds we’ve become the dominant species with a rapidly growing population, causing a catastrophic impact on the environment. We have created the industrial revolution and burned fossil fuels creating more carbon in the atmosphere than ever before. We have caused global warming at a record pace, endangering our own existence. We have cut trees and destroyed forests more than ever before, polluted air, water, and soil. We have created an island of waste, the size of the state of Texas, in the middle of the ocean. We have caused the 4th mass animal extinction. Three-quarters of Earth’s land surface is under pressure from human activity. In just 2.5 seconds we’ve turned the planet into our own personal factory.
It took almost 4.5 billion years of evolution for us to exist and we have changed so much in so little time.
The problem is us. And it is up to us if we want to make it to the 4th second.

With my project “2.5 seconds” I hope to bring awareness about climate change, to start a conversation about the issue and to educate more people about the facts, the urgency of the crisis and the seriousness of its consequences. The project is a series of photographs that highlight the environmental crisis through metaphors and symbolism. Each one of them illustrates and represents a specific environmental issue using allegorical figures and subjects, props, costumes and natural landscapes.
I used “2.5 seconds” as a title because I wanted to invoke the power of numbers and perspective to create a strong, straightforward and shocking effect.
It all started with an idea I had almost 3 years ago. I have always loved nature, and have been both amazed and captivated by our planet’s beauty. I've traveled to many places before, but none of them could compare to what I felt and saw in Iceland. Visiting Iceland for the first time had a great impact on me and made me realize that our planet is fragile and its beauty may disappear. The thought that nature is being affected and destroyed by the changing climate became personal, shocking and upsetting. I wanted to capture and preserve Iceland's incredible beauty through my art while I still can.
The pressure from human activity is having a catastrophic impact on the environment that endangers our own existence. But I feel like ecology problems that are threatening our environment and affecting everyone on the planet do not get enough media attention.
I am using photography as my unique voice to express how I feel and share my fear for the future. I want to bring more meaning to my work and create a strong message for all the people out there. I hope my art will be louder and clearer than words.
The time to act is now.
"Movement is a vital celebration of life. It is a way to proclaim your own existence and relish in the joy of being alive."

Happily, still in existence (well on the record at least), coming up as SORN and without MOT since early 2019.
There has been a recorded V5 issue in 2017 which could correspond with a keeper change, however it could be a case of the long term owner having a house move etc....
Not even 80k covered, so low mileage for a commercial vehicle, which helps.
My head is currently spinning and my heart is soaring (and my body is catching up on sleep when my brain allows it). Life has been full of adventures lately, with more to come. Travelling down and up the west coast, meeting so many kind and beautiful people whom I believe will be lifelong friends, witnessing the beauty that is in creation and the mountains, valleys, fields, forests, ocean, sun, fog, and starry night skies... Life is a blessing, friends. All I want to do is just hold tight to this positive mindset, chase the opportunities being presented, love absolutely everyone I meet, view life and its ups and downs as an adventure, attempt to ignore (or face) my fears, and trust in something bigger through it all.

Within the crystal's depths, a foreboding churn whispers of disturbances amidst the planes. Shadows dance, casting ominous ripples across dimensions, hinting at cosmic unrest. An ethereal symphony of discord resonates, unseen but palpable. A disturbance, subtle yet profound, disturbs the balance of cosmic energies, heralding an impending shift. The weave of existence falters, hinting at disruptions traversing realms. Amidst the arcane whispers, echoes of uncertainty stir, forewarning of an imminent confluence where the boundaries between worlds blur. The seers and sages tremble, for in this enigmatic disturbance lies both peril and opportunity, a harbinger of fate's enigmatic dance across the celestial spheres.
..."And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you"...

Image of a Verreaux”s sifika's mode of transportation on the ground - hopping.
Lemurs are endemic to the island and can only be found there. 101 species and subspecies of lemurs have been recognized.
Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi), or the white sifaka, is a medium-sized primate in one of the lemur families, the Indriidae. It lives in Madagascar and can be found in a variety of habitats from rainforest to western Madagascar dry deciduous forests and dry and spiny forests. Its fur is thick and silky and generally white with brown on the sides, top of the head, and on the arms. Like all sifakas, it has a long tail that it uses as a balance when leaping from tree to tree. However, its body is so highly adapted to an arboreal existence, on the ground its only means of locomotion is hopping. The species lives in small troops which forage for food.
Four subspecies of this lemur are described. Many things are unknown about Verreaux's sifaka, their lifespan in the wild has not been approximated, but in captivity, they generally live to up to 18 years old.

For centuries rumors of mysterious white lions had been circulating in South Africa. Confirmation of the existence of white lions only came in the twentieth century. White lions were first recorded in 1928 and in the early 1940s. In 1975, two white cubs were seen at Timbavati Game Reserve, adjacent to Krüger National Park in South Africa. They were roughly two weeks old. The discovery was a sensation. The white specimens proved to be male and female. They were named Temba (Zulu for hope) and Tombi (girl).
A few months later Temba en Tombi were taken to the National Zoo in Pretoria, South Africa.
The 50 white lions currently in zoos worldwide are descendants of Temba and Tombi. White Lions cannot probable survive in the wild due to perceived lack of camouflage. Adult white lions in the wild have never seen.
White Lions are not albinos, but rare color mutations of the Krüger subspecies of lion (Panthera leo krugeri). They have a combination of recessive genes which give them a white skin. The genetic condition, leucism, that causes paler colouration akin to that of the white tiger; the condition is similar to melanism, which causes black panthers. The white lion has been perpetuated by selective breeding in zoos around the world.
This picture was taken at Ouwehands Dierenpark, zoo in Rhenen, the Netherlands.

Al eeuwen waren er geruchten over mysterieuze witte leeuwen in Zuid-Afrika. Bevestiging van het bestaan van witte leeuwen kwam pas in de twintigste eeuw. Witte leeuwen werden voor het eerst geregistreerd in 1928 en in 1941/42. In 1975 werden twee witte welpen aangetroffen in het Timbavati Reservaat, grenzend aan het Krüger Nationaal Park in Zuid-Afrika.
De welpjes waren ongeveer twee weken oud. De ontdekking was een sensatie. De witte dieren bleken een mannetje en vrouwtje.
Ze werden Temba (Zulu voor 'hoop') en Tombi ('meisje') genoemd. Een paar maanden later werden Temba en Tombi opgenomen in de National Zoo in Pretoria, Zuid-Afrika.
De 50 witte leeuwen wereldwijd in dierentuinen zijn nakomelingen van Temba en Tombi. De laatste witte leeuw werd in 1994 in het wild gezien. Witte leeuwen kunnen waarschijnlijk in het wild niet overleven door de lichte vacht zonder camouflage. Volwassen witte leeuwen zijn in het wild nog nooit gezien.
De witte leeuw is niet een albino, maar een zeldzame kleurmutatie van de Transvaal of Krüger ondersoort van de leeuw (Panthera leo krugeri). De speciale kleurmutatie met een genetische aandoening, leucisme, veroorzaakt een bleke kleuring zoals ook bij de witte tijger. De voorwaarde is enigszins gelijk aan melanisme, die tot zwarte panters leidt. Door selectief te fokken in dierentuinen over de hele wereld zijn deze leeuwen behouden.
Deze foto is juni 2013 genomen in Ouwehands Dierenpark in Rhenen.

The existence of 3rd class travel was an eye opener to me when i visited Sri Lanka recently. To be honest there wasn't much difference between 3rd and 2nd nor 1st on some trains.
These old carriages were built in Romania in the 1940s and are very basic. The ride is incredible and you feel that the carriage could bounce off the track at any time. You get used to the noise of metal on metal as the suspension struggles to separate the carriage from the bogies.
Sri Lanka is a colourful country. This lady looks for her seat on this service heading north which is listed as an Office Train. The time was 1545ish and the location Colombo Fort station. Normally you would expect the train to be full to bursting with 4 or 5 passengers hanging out of each door.

From reckless corporate consolidation of the media industry, the Presidential persecution of whistle blowers to the targeting of independent wartime journalists by our military, our system has completely failed us. The continuous stream of sensationalism feeds our addiction to drama, hyperstimulating the senses with fear and novelty. The war drums beat to the tune of our racing hearts – which rage with fury over manipulated messages driven by those in power.
Personally, my advise would be to shut off the TVs – which drive us away from the essence of a meaningful existence. Ignore all mainstream messages – they are rooted in profit. Focus our thoughts and hearts to kindness, forgiveness and tolerance. The Fourth Estate will burn on its own.

One of the primary new techniques (for me) used in this build was the implementation of Lego nets (71155) for sculpting. By backing each net with smaller plates – set apart by 1 stud – and then using 1x1 round plate pips on the front side (sandwiching the net in between), I had a flexible scrim which I could then build off of. This allowed for the undulating forms in the explosion area.

"the concept of continuous existence." This is one of the definitions for Time. Time is an interesting concept and as I grow older it becomes more and more an enigma.
In regards to this photo. Does it read as my artistic interpretation of Time? or does it look like a photo for a timepiece in a catalog? Oh well. (:-)
Behind a blood-stained curtain,
Love has spread its gardens.
Remove the thorn of existence
from the foot of the heart;
so that you may see the gardens within.

This is the second floor of the BEAUTIFUL Multnomah County Library. In Portland Oregon.
It dates its existence from 1864, a time when Portland was a frontier town with frame buildings, muddy streets and few sidewalks. A small group of Portland citizens met to establish a subscription library and reading room, organizing under the name "Library Association of Portland."
And this is what was finally established, an incredibly fantastic piece of architecture. I almost break into song everytime I walk in but they SHUSH me.
SHHHH! SHHHHHHHHHH! I get sick of it.
