For Flick'r Friday theme 'My Right Hand' .... I've used this Bible for 38 years and wouldn't be without it!
When I read the Macro Mondays topic of Jagged, I immediately thought of the book Jagged Red Line by Nick Williams.
"Jagged Red Line is a true account of living and climbing in the crumbling USSR of the early 1990s. A mountaineering expedition to the war-torn Caucasus began with high expectations but ended in disaster. Nick suppressed the events for nearly two decades before he began to reassess what happened and write his story."

reading "Power Club" by Alain Gagnol (www.goodreads.com/book/show/33958977-power-club)
"And the gala goes dead silent as I spring thirty feet in the low gravity and land hard on the Bellona table. Dishes crack. Servers scatter. Bellonas fall back. Some shout at me. Some do not move even as their wine spills. The Sovereign watches, struck by curiosity, her Furies stirring at her side... I tip the wine over onto Cassius's lap. He explodes up at me."
Built for the Final Duel Category of the Colossal Battle Contest 2016.
As soon as I saw the vine whip from Brick Warriors I knew it would make a perfect razor.
This is the scene from Golden Son where Darrow and Cassius fight at the gala. (For those not in the know, Golden Son is the second book in best sci-fi series of all time: Red Rising by Pierce Brown.) I won't spoil who wins the fight in case you haven't read the book. But seriously, if you haven't read this series yet, you need to buy the books today. (right now!)
The LEGO scene turned out a little too crowded for my liking, but since there is a size limit (and the deadline is today), this is as good as it gets.
The hereios of the We're Here! group have paid a visit to the Film Noir group today. I used the front camera of my iPhone 12 in portrait mode with the stage light mono setting which renders the subject in black & white and the background in darkness.
The title is a quotation from a talk by Raymond Chandler.

Day 52 - Best Viewed Large On Black
Back to the glorious gold and blue mirror that is Otaki Beach...
Few weeks ago I decided to clean and organize my personal library .. well that wasn't easy..
After 4 days of cleaning , I kept around 150 books and sent away around 200 ..
The next step was to make some sort of recored or a list .. I'm finally done you can see my personal library at goodreads.com ..
http://www.goodreads.com/profile/UmMohammed
Adding English books was a piece of cake ..just enter the ISBN and you are done , all of the book's details are there including the cover but with the Arabic books I had to add most of them manually .. so typing and photographing the cover needed some time .. but finally mission accomplished ..
Update : I've just bought 3 new books today .. so I have 153 books now .. ;)

I am always excited to read anything, fiction or nonfiction by the great author Haruki Murakami. This text is taken from the great novel, 1Q84, which has his usual sense of parallel worlds that proves he has an imagination like no other. I wrote a review of 1Q84 with favorite quotes after I finished the novel around this time in 2011.

Nothing says relaxation more to me that reading a book (yes, the old-fashioned kind that is printed on actual paper) beside the pool while sipping on a cocktail (my current favorite is amaretto on ice). Ahhhhh. This book was fantastic... recommended (and loaned) to me from my daughter, Jenny... Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. If you like the movie, The Matrix, or the book, The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot, you will like this book. Alternate reality fiction has always fascinated me and makes me ponder how much impact our seemingly small decisions really have in the world.
If you are looking for good books to read, I highly recommend following my daughter on Good Reads. Jenny has incredible taste in books and is an avid reader. She has over 500 reviews and you can look to see which authors she likes to find some new reading material. Here's a link to her profile on Good Reads: Jenny Walters.
“Before I can say I am, I was. Heraclitus and I, prophets of flux, know that the flux is composed of parts that imitate and repeat each other. Am or was, I am cumulative, too. I am everything I ever was, whatever you and Leah may think. I am much of what my parents and especially my grandparents were -- inherited stature, coloring, brains, bones (that part unfortunate), plus transmitted prejudices, culture, scruples, likings, moralities, and moral errors that I defend as if they were personal and not familial.”

Dimly remembering a book I read decades ago, I searched for it on the Internet: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcosmic_God
Theodore Sturgeon, the author, was in those days one of many included in a series of best SF stories compiled in several volumes by Isaak Asimov, which I got by subscription from my book club.
Checking back on Goodreads, I took one of the quotes as my prompt, only adding my own 'Bogomils Universe' (which stands for my inner thoughts and ideas in art) to the prompt.
www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/266288-microcosmic-god
PROMPT:
Microscopic God in Bogomil's Universe, concept by Theodore Sturgeon - “He had never graduated from any college or university because he found them too slow for him, and too rigid in their approach to education. He could not get used to the idea that perhaps his professors knew what they were talking about.”

Winnie The Pooh Quotes - Goodreads
There are many aspects of our sense of self and many fragments that lead up to a whole. When you drop a delicate glass and it shatters, you see all of the pieces that make up that simple structure that holds liquid. Just imagine how many pieces are inside of each of us, just as fragile and susceptible to damage.
Each year, I make some changes to my life. I wouldn't call them New Year's Resolutions (though I do try to make a couple of those) because they don't always happen on the new year. I yearn to be a flawless person and I've always realized how finite our time spans on Earth are...and so, I don't like to waste any time that I'm given, either when trying to make the world a better place or in terms of trying to make myself into a better person, someone I can respect and love when I Iook in the mirror. 2015 was a year filled with changes for me and, instead of doing a top 10 or 20 or 25 live shows, I thought maybe I would do something different this year instead.
1. Photography:
I have many identities, if you must know. Some call these roles but when your roles in life define you, it seems to become a little more than that. In other words, if you lose one role, like your role as an artist, you will probably have something along the lines of a nervous breakdown, where you question who you are and want to jump out of the window. That's how strongly I identify with myself as a photographer. I've been doing this for 20 years now and I started in the dark room with film and a ton of time and creative youthful energy.
I really haven't changed yet in terms of my yearning to be a part of the collective consciousness that defines us as human beings and wanting to redeem it. There are so many harmful things that bring us all down...we have allowed the rich to get stronger and the poor to become many. We have turned our backs on our sisters and brothers. We no longer recognize them in the street.
More importantly, photography is a sort of art therapy for me. I've been going to a very helpful Sleep Therapist recently to help with my insomnia. He has me rate the stress in my life on a 0-5 scale. 5 is the highest and 0 is literally no stress. After about 5 visits, on our last visit in December, my sleep therapist pointed out to me how he thought it was interesting that I never rated my stress level for each day a 5 even though I often reported that my job was the cause of much dismay. I explained, "That's because, no matter how stressed I am, I realize I have to keep perspective. 5 is genocide. 5 is I am raped and nearly murdered and my family is murdered in front of me. 5 is someone opens their door on me while bicycling and I'm in the hospital and am told I will never walk again or breathe without a machine. If 5 is the worst thing that can happen to a person, I hope I never see it." Did I mention I'm intense?
Anyway, I digress...photography helps me cope with all of the sadness I feel when I think that we're all doomed and uniquely flawed in a way that doesn't allow us to change our mistakes, to make ourselves better, to find redemption. I don't mean religious redemption, either. I just mean that we realize we were each given a unique potential and the failure to live up to this is a black mark upon all of us.
I've made some changes regarding photography and my identity this year. When I started photographing with digital over film in 2006, it opened up some previously unexplored possibilities for me. I've always loved music and concerts and so, increasingly more, I started photographing my favorite bands. I still do so and continue to love it but I feel a sadness in the thought that I'll be be pigeonholed as merely a "concert photographer" when the day is done. More than anything, I have always yearned to capture life at the end of the day. I'm a searcher and I'm searching for the qualities that show us as overcoming all of our past atrocities, as better than all that. There is something in a gesture that Milan Kundera understood...a gesture can be linked to identity and can be it's own greatest art form. I'm a huge fan of animals but the gestures that humans make can actually take my breath away.
I see more views, favorites, comments, etc. when I post a concert photo and I appreciate those but, at the end of the day, I am part of Flickr because I want to grow as a photographer and I don't want to die with people thinking all I ever did was stand alongside 15 other people taking photos of the same musicians at the exact same time. I think that's why I haven't really missed scaling back on shows and festivals overall this year. I still love Levitation/Austin Psych Fest the very best (it's my type of music!) and I still enjoy live shows...but if I am photographing bands, I want to be doing so to promote their creativity and their presence in the world so not necessarily the bands everyone has already heard of in other words.
I realize I'm not the best street or portrait photographer in the world but it takes time to develop and, just like it took time for me to develop as a concert photographer, I have made more of a commitment to devoting time and energy to this endeavor. It's painful to me when I try to be part of a community of street photographers and I feel rejected or condescended to. I have music within me and I sing in my own way. Right now, this is where my heart is leading me.
2. Vegan
When I was 13, it finally occurred to me that it was perhaps more than a little hypocritical to identify myself as an animal lover and then eat them. Back then, I pretty much lived on vegetarian vegetable cans of Progresso soup and it was a challenge to live as a vegetarian in upstate NY not because I enjoyed the taste of meat but because I had a lack of options for my own nutrition. I also had to learn the hard way about taking B vitamin and iron supplements or I'd be feeling weak and/or faint all day long. Pretty soon, though, being a vegetarian became a part of the very fabric of my being and was one of the first things I mentioned. It definitely made me more healthy but it also made me feel like I was a person with integrity.
Of course, not as much was known in 1992 about the environmental implications of being vegetarian and, even more so, vegan. When you're facing food scarcities, using all fertile land in the most optimal way to feed the approaching 7 billion people on this planet seems less like radical ideology and more just like plain common sense.
At least in America, vegan cheeses, yogurts, sorbets, milks, butters, and even egg substitutes have seen remarkable growth. Not so long ago, vegan cheese tasted like play-doh and was absolutely disgusting. We've come a long way, especially in the last three years. I've never been a fan of Daiya, though I appreciate their history in the market, but I am a fan of Heidi-Ho vegan cheese made from chia seeds. Kite Hill, Punk Rawk cheese, Treeline cheese and Mykononos cheese are all fantastic vegan options. In addition, each city (even my own small home town city of Rochester, NY with the amazing vegan restaurant Vive) seems to be developing it's own artisan vegan cheeses. To be clear, these are "cheeses" I wouldn't even realize were vegan. In Chicago, we have Feed Your Head, Teese, Chicago Raw, and Soul Veg. which are amazing-as well as several restaurant options.
When I think about the process in America of separating the young calves from their mothers and killing male chickens, I think about the stress hormones that get transferred from animal to your food. I also think about the rise in quite a few life threatening allergies...some of this may be related to pollution but maybe some of it is related to animals. I became a vegetarian way before epidemics like "Mad Cow Disease" but this disease isn't exactly a compelling argument to continue to eat any animal products for me.
There is going to come a time when we can no longer be dependent on animals for any food source. I don't know when that exact year is...if I had to guess, it will probably be well before I reach old age (if I do reach it). Let's say 2040. Animal products will be unreliable and even toxic. If you'd like for some reasonable substitutes and would, in the meantime, like to become a healthier and more productive human, I would recommend becoming vegan sooner than later. Again, I'm not a radical. I'm not a trend setter. However, I am a person who likes to think I can see trends and has some common sense. Many thanks to my friend and photographer Lindsey Best for opening my eyes and giving me a needed push in the right direction. I hope my words here find you well and you are open minded enough to consider them for yourself and for the future of the world.

3. Sleep
Being an insomniac started to usurp my identity or components of it for a couple of decades. Ever since I became addicted to Nyquil in high school after a cold, I have struggled on and off with insomnia. My most recent dependency as an adult was 3 Ibuprofen PM AND 3 Melatonin. I have a great deal of anxiety and stress related to work and I found I couldn't sleep without this combination. But then, I had an even more of a problem which was that even this combination wasn't doing the trick. Your body habituates over time and you feel extremely abnormal. You start to really worry about the damage you might be doing to your kidneys, for instance, and start to feel helpless. There are only so many times I can have a panic attack in the middle of the night before I realize I probably need to gather some gumption and actually see a medical professional about it.
This summer/August, I started to see a sleep therapist in Chicago. It was a big change for me because it finally spoke to the idea that I wanted to truly change my life. I've gone through phases of extreme struggle because, like my mother, I feel more creative in the wee hours of the night. I've also gone through phases where I truly viewed being an insomniac as "cool." But, at 3am, when you're sweating profusely, wondering how you're going to get through the next day at work, and wondering if you're racing heart signifies that you'll soon be having a heart attack, you realize this is anything but "cool." While it's true it's helpful to have deep experiences to become a better artist and feel connected to all aspects of the world, it's also very true that you're not helpful to anyone on Earth as a creative entity or otherwise if you're dead.
Fast forward 6 months later. I now sleep at least 6 hours most nights without any sleep aids...this is a big deal for me! When I say a "big deal" what I mean specifically is that if you had told me in August that I would be here in January, I would have thought you were suggesting the impossible. And yet, this is my new reality and, instead of identifying myself based on the sleep I did or didn't get the night before, I have begun to identify myself as the person who can do more with a little more sleep and feeling proud of myself for the progress I have made. Again, I am nowhere near the perfect and flawless human being I would like to be but this is a huge part of becoming better and doing more in the world each day I'm alive.
4. Neuroscience
I've always liked nonfiction in moderation but 2015 especially saw me struggling with some new cases at work where I felt I needed to learn more to become better and, what this inevitably boiled down to is learning more about the human brain and the capacity for change. Even when I was going to university for my degree back in NY in 2001, it was a widespread belief that the human brain was plastic only to a certain point following an injury like a stroke and that if progress didn't occur within the first 6months or so afterwards, the idea that the patient could grow was probably just a little too optimistic.
What neuroscientists have found most recently is that this is actually really false and, even more so, could be obviously damaging to the patient's progress when the doctors and therapists embrace this line of thinking. Neuroscientists have also learned so much more about mental illness, physical disabilities, Autism and other sensory disorders. This is one of the most exciting adventures you can have-realizing even how much potential we have to change and being inspired to change because of it. I've tried to make myself more trilingual, more of an optimist, and more filled with the kindness and empathy related to the struggles people have.
I would highly recommend checking out the following authors/works:

'Spotlight Your Best' November contest Iron and Glass
Opens November 1st.
This week, I want to create a series about "internal spring".
Which is inspired by this quote of Albert Camus.
I want to incorporate flowers in our body showing that we have spring inside us all along.
Yesterday's was in our hair, today's in our head.
I hope I can make it till 5 :D
An amazing book by an amazing woman. Not only was it a moving read but it helped me put into perspective some of my feelings of inadequacy as my Dad's caregiver in his final months. Just maybe what I felt I was doing wrong, and where I was failing, was a valid part of the process.
To the Admins of the 365 groups,Sorry about the date. Trying to work without glasses once again and moved the day ahead.
Jesse Ball is such a talented and amazing author and The Curfew is one of my favorite novels by him. Goodreads review here:

The problem with buying a lot of used books at once is trying to decide which one to read first.
These are old library books that I bought on eBay. Apparently Catherine Cookson novels are no longer in demand and were taking up valuable shelf space! I just discovered this author, and my library only has a few of the 100+ novels she wrote, so I was glad to find these for a small price. I've challenged myself (on Goodreads) to read 100 books this year, so I need to have a steady supply of enjoyable reading on hand. These will keep me busy for a while and will take me past my goal (I've read 87 books so far.)

"The Israeli novelist David Grossman’s impassioned account of what he observed on the West Bank in early 1987—not only the misery of the Palestinian refugees and their deep-seated hatred of the Israelis but also the cost of occupation for both occupier and occupied—is an intimate and urgent moral report on one of the great tragedies of our time. The Yellow Wind is essential reading for anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of Israel today."
(www.goodreads.com/book/show/60367.The_Yellow_Wind)
Recently, Grossman won Man Booker International prize for his book 'A Horse Walks Into a Bar' (which personally, i like less than many of his books)

The past humiliation and tragicomedy of Romania in the eighties might be the future of the USA under Trump. Trump is poised to trample on the "home of the brave".
Trumpism is very familiar to Romanians who lived during Ceausescu's blend of nationalism, brutality, dictatorship, ideology and cult of personality: "an exercise in accepted humiliation" or submission to brutal stupidity. Just substitute Marxist ideology to "Christian nationalism" and you are good to go. Ceausescu wanted to destroy God with Marx, Trump wants to destroy Marx with God. Trump wants to demolish universities just like Ceausescu demolished churches. The result is the same: DESTRUCTION. Trump seems more cunning, whereas you can eventually reject Marx, who dares to say no to the power of God, Christ Almighty Pantocrator, and his indisputable instruments on earth Putin and Trump helped by Big Brother AI? Like Ceausescu with Romania, Trump wants to make America his bitch in the style of Putin's Russia, with the help of God instead of Marx and AI instead of KGB/Securitate. Will he succeed?
If not opposed he will trample on Americans, eradicate every value they have that might make them resist him, like liberty, empathy, decency, competence, entrepreneurship, courage. America will end up humiliated and poor, just like eighties Romania and today Russia. Don't let him.

apartment wall in Bucharest with framed caricature by Mihai Stanescu titled "Working visit"
Mihai Stănescu. Vizită de lucru (Working visit), 1983. Caricature
sk.cultural-opposition.eu/registry/?uri=http://courage.bt...
Clearly dated 1983, the cartoon “Working Visit” was probably among those withdrawn from the exhibition at the Eforie Gallery that year. It was subsequently omitted from the volumes later prepared by Mihai Stănescu before 1989, but it was included in the volume Best of Stănescu, which comprises works from the period 1979–1989 and was published in 2009 on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the fall of communism. The cartoon “Working Visit” shows a crowd of people drawn like parquet pieces on which footprints can be seen. The drawing mocks in a tragic-comic key the so-called “working visits” made by the secretary general of the Party, Nicolae Ceauşescu, together with his suite of communist officials, to various cities, to factories, building sites, and cultivated fields. These working visits, unknown in the time of Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej but introduced and intensely promoted by Ceauşescu, followed broadly the same pattern: the Party delegation, led by Ceauşescu himself and in most cases also including his wife Elena, travelled to various “objectives.” There they were greeted by the local authorities and frenetically applauded by crowds of people specially mobilised to give the distinguished guests a long ovation. During these visits, Ceauşescu formulated so-called “precious indications” regarding what ought to be done in the factory, building site, or agricultural cooperative that he was visiting. Once launched, these “indications” became the letter of the law, no matter how absurd they were, and those on whom they had been bestowed dared not contradict them, even when specialists understood that they could produce disastrous effects. In essence, the “indications” symbolised the arbitrary character of decisions in a dictatorial regime. At the same time, for the presidential couple as for the rest of the officials of the communist regime, these “working visits” constituted what we would today call an image-building exercise. At the time, they were an obligatory element in the complex arsenal of the personality cult. For the crowds of people brought to attend these working visits, they were an exercise in accepted humiliation. This is what Mihai Stănescu manages to show through the cartoon “Working Visit.” This cartoon is one of the most well-known works in his portfolio, and indeed in the history of Romanian cartoons under communism.
