Who am I? maybe it isn't noticeable on the outside but i've been feeling a little off lately,....No iam not that sensitive just need a little time to breath..They say guys aren't supposed to show emotion, so i'll just say "iam getting it off my chest.. you ever have one of those weeks?....last week..just seemed like everywhere I turned I was letting someone down of upsetting someone, I can count at least 5 times. I thought I was a good person, I always try to treat people as I would want to be treated..it has always worked well for me, what happened? Am i changing, or just one of those weeks? I'll take my Mom's advice and pray about it? Am I taking this too seriously? Nahhh it's good to be honest with yourself and I am..I think I just some time to chill, go MIA, you know slow my roll a little bit.. I should be fine, I always have been. got it off my chest

Not Trump! 'Quasi' by local artist Ronnie van Hout is a new five by three metre sculpture located on the top of the Christchurch Art Gallery building, best viewed from Gloucester St.
Based on scans of his own body parts, van Hout describes Quasi as ‘the artist’s hand made giant’. A surreal piece of visual fun, it plays with the idea of the artist’s hand as the source of his or her genius. Quasi is full of pop-culture references, like the crawling, disembodied hand of old comedy-horror films, or Victor Hugo's lonely outcast Quasimodo on the roof of Notre Dame.
The artwork will be on display until the end of 2017.

Our friend came to see us Saturday, and you couldn't help but notice this wonderful henna artwork on her hand and arm.
The art work was drawn free hand, By Emma Frankland.
Sciencey Bit:
Whole, unbroken henna leaves will not stain the skin. Henna will not stain skin until the lawsone molecules are made available (released) from the henna leaf. Fresh henna leaves will stain the skin if they are smashed with a mildly acidic liquid. The lawsone will gradually migrate from the henna paste into the outer layer of the skin and bind to the proteins in it, creating a fast stain.
Since it is difficult to form intricate patterns from coarse crushed leaves, henna is commonly traded as a powder made by drying, milling and sifting the leaves. The dry powder is mixed with lemon juice, strong tea, or other mildly acidic liquids to make a preparation with toothpaste-like consistency, which can be used to make finely detailed body art. The henna mix must rest for 6 to 24 hours before use, to release the lawsone from the leaf matter. Essential oils with high levels of monoterpene alcohols, such as tea tree, eucalyptus, cajeput, or lavender, will improve skin stain characteristics.
The paste can be applied with many traditional and innovative tools, including resist, a cone, syringe, Jac bottle or fingers. A light stain may be achieved within minutes, the longer the paste is left on the skin, the stronger the stain will be, and should be left for several hours. To prevent it from drying or falling off the skin, the paste is often sealed down by dabbing a sugar/lemon mix over the dried paste, or simply adding some form of sugar to the paste. It is debatable whether this adds to the color of the end result; some believe it increases the intensity of the shade. After time the dry paste is simply brushed or scraped away.
Henna stains are orange soon after application, but darken over the following three days to a reddish brown. Soles and palms have the thickest layer of skin and so take up the most lawsone, and take it to the greatest depth, so that hands and feet will have the darkest and most long-lasting stains. Steaming or warming the henna pattern will darken the stain, either during the time the paste is still on the skin, or after the paste has been removed. Chlorinated water and soaps may spoil the darkening process: alkaline products may hasten the darkening process. After the stain reaches its peak color it will appear to fade, as the stained dead cells exfoliate.

Hands
If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all ok
And not to worry because worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these
I will not be made useless
I won't be idled with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
for light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small, I know,
but they're not yours they are my own
but they're not yours they are my own
and I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
but it didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
but i knew it wasn't ever after
We will fight, not out of spite
for someone must stand up for what's right
cause where there's a man who has no voice
there ours shall go singing
In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
040/365 Give me your hand...

This image goes with my prayers and compassion and wishes to assist the people in S. E. Asia whose lives, homes, families and environment were damaged by the tsunamis.
I just started a group here called, Hands to S. E. Asia. Its a public group, anybody can post their hand. Here's its link. Join us in a chain of hands flickr.com/groups/82224471@N00/pool/
It is just a scan of my hand, not a photo.
The idea of gathering photos of our hands was started about a year and a half or two years ago on fotolog when a severe earthquake hit southern Iran. Its 'only' virtual hands-on help - but every act, for good or not, starts with imagination.
