It is impossible to go through their doors without being heartbroken for all those people walking in & out. Celebrate life !!! ♥️ And just a little fact about me: my mutated Eastern European genes can’t handle alcohol (at all !)

Helgamine (Big Witch) and her sister Zeldaborne (Little Witch) are citizens and the only two witches of Halloweentown.

 

Zeldaborne (Little Witch) was engaged to Victor Draculason, but one early morning, he went for a walk and never returned, leaving her a widow. Heartbroken, she turned to witchcraft and has never been the same ever since.

 

14 days until Halloween

It's better to forget than to be heartbroken

Too fast to love , too late to know

Lost PIp, our little Jack six weeks ago. Heartbroken and said I'd never have another!! Here we are with Dolly, house was too empty.

One week on and I've got to Dolly proof the garden. Lol. Gonna have some fun with this little live wire.

Her last day before euthanasia. Her cancer had metatisized and her lungs weren't working well. I am heartbroken but she is not suffering any longer.

I am heartbroken about the loss of my beloved Sugarbear.

  

The king of butterflies in honor of the King of Kings! And as Jim said - a caterpillar to represent new life. And after all - Jesus created the miraculous life cycles of this and all caterpillars as well as the miracle (and mystery) of the Monarchs' migration to Mexico. This caterpillar was in the lantana in my flower garden in Georgia.

 

Here's a heavenly story from a book I'm reading by a woman, Valerie Paters, who was teased as a child because of her difficulties walking and was in a deadly car accident as an adult - and visited Jesus in heaven. She returned to tell about it. If you're skeptical - check out interviews online or her book. Here's an excerpt appropriate for the day:

 

"Lush green plants & big leafy trees stood on its banks. Butterflies landed on gigantic fruit hanging from branches that arched the river. Melodies from harps, pianos, horns and drums hung in the atmosphere like symphonies applauding the King of heaven. ...

"One moment I was on its banks; the next, I was midstream with Jesus splashing me. I didn't know what to think. He splashed me again, and it was on. We played like children. Without a word, I understood that Jesus didn't want me on the sidelines watching other people having fun. ... He remembered the heartbroken kid who couldn't walk. He knew she still needed to play. Former hurts were washed away. New, holy memories took their place.

"Joy! Joy! Joy! The river sang it, and I thought I heard the trees clap their hands."

 

(Valerie Paters & Cheryl Schuelke, "Heaven is a Breath Away: an Unexpected Journey to Heaven and Back")

 

Have a very blessed & Merry Christmas!!! Vicki

RIP IN PEACE Teillyn

Her Mother came to me and ask me to make a few photos in memory of her daughter.

Spirit Island, located on Maligne Lake, in the Canadian Rockies.

 

An ancient First Nations legend holds that once upon a time a boy and a girl from different tribes would meet on Spirit Island once a week. They fell deeply in love, despite the fact their tribes were bitter enemies. When the girl, the daughter of her tribe's Chief, confessed her forbidden love to her father, he banned her from ever returning to the island to see the boy. The boy, heartbroken, continued to return to the island, hoping against hope to see his lover once again. He died on that island, waiting for her to return. It is said that now his spirit still haunts the island, still searching for his lost love.

Either positive comments than critics are very welcome, not the same for glittering awards, huge icons, invitations etc. (sorry but any excess shall be erased).

title from backstreet boys lyrics.

My favourite book of all is Wilkie Collins' "The Woman in White", widely acknowledged as the first mystery novel and the one work Collins instructed to have carved into his tombstone.

 

I fell in love with the book as a teenager, my Mother's favourite book being Collins' "The Moonstone", and always come back to it when I really want to lose myself in a book.

 

"The Woman in White" makes me sad, happy, elated, scared, heartbroken and surprised no matter how many times I read it.

 

I do truly feel part of its pages every time I open my threadbare second copy, the first losing its pages long ago through too many hours spent lost in its pages.

 

I used a stock photograph for the open book, from ~GothicBohemianStock on deviant art, but the figure is me and the pages that form my silhouette are scanned from my copy...

 

No books were harmed in making this photograph...my bookbinder Grandpa would never forgive me!!

I'm in the middle of watching Bourdain's Parts Unknown in the DRC, and it reminded me of my trip to Tibet. The DRC is one of two trips (with the KKH in Pakistan being the other) that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do. When I was younger, I watched TV shows about the bush pilots and more recently followed a couple's journey traversing the country. I can only hope the situation in the world improves and I can do both; if not, I am so happy, heartbroken, and stirred to be able to travel with Bourdain tonight.

What happened to DUANE ALLMAN?:

Week fifty one of fifty two weeks.

Day 208 of 365 days.

 

I apologize for being SO absent. Literally it has been over a week I've uploaded, but I have been out doing more amazing things. I'm about 2 months behind in my 365 day project and a week behind my 52 project which ends next week. On Monday, I left for New York City with the band, orchestra, and choir at my school. After 17 hours on the bus, we arrived in NYC. The first day we toured Radio City Hall. We went to Grand Central Station, and then saw this beautiful view on the Empire State building. On Wednesday, we went to Central Park for a brief time, and played at Lincoln Center, and also went to The Blue Men Group. On Thursday, we toured Time Square and went to Phantom of the Opera which was so amazing. Then on Friday, we went to the 9/11 memorial, the Harbor Cruise, and China Town. New York was just so amazing. I think someday I will live there because I was heartbroken that we had to leave. I got closer to a lot of people, and just felt so small in such a big city. I realized how blessed I truly am. See you soon, New York.

This is Lily. She was a Lynx Ragdoll, and she was the sweetest baby ever. When she was just a few months old, we found out that she had cardiomyopathy, which is a heart defect that can be a problem within the Ragdoll breed. We were heartbroken, but determined to make her short life as happy as possible. I gave her 2 different medications 3 times every day, and she was sweet and content for her 2 years of life.... I still miss her.....

I mentioned in the last one I posted that it is hard to see any more because of all the junk that has since been stacked around it.

 

Transplanting

BY LEE ANN RORIPAUGH

 

For my mother, Yoshiko Horikoshi Roripaugh

1. X-Ray

 

My mother carried the chest x-ray

in her lap on the plane, inside

a manila envelope that read

Do Not Bend and, garnished

with leis at the Honolulu Airport,

waited in line—this strange image

of ribcage, chain-link vertebrae,

pearled milk of lung, and the murky

enigmatic chambers of her heart

in hand. Until it was her turn

and the immigration officer held

the black-and-white film up

to sun, light pierced clean through

her, and she was ushered from one

life through the gate of another,

wreathed in the dubious and illusory

perfume of plucked orchids.

  

2. Ceramic Pig

 

Newly arrived in New Mexico,

stiff and crisp in new dungarees,

her honeymoon, they drove

into the mountains in a borrowed car,

spiraling up and up toward the rumor

of deer, into the green tangy turpentine

scent of pine, where air crackled

with the sizzling collision of bees,

furred legs grappling velvet bodies

as they mated midair, and where

they came upon the disconsolate gaze

of a Madonna alcoved against

the side of the road, her feet wreathed

in candles, fruit, flowers, and other

offerings. Nearby, a vendor

with a wooden plank balanced between

two folding chairs and the glossy

row of ceramic pigs lined up across,

brilliant glaze shimmering the heat.

My mother fell in love with the red-

and-blue splash of flowers tattooed

into fat flanks and bellies, the green

arabesques of stem and leaf circling

hoof, snout, and ear. So exotic.

Years later she still describes the pig

with a sigh—heartbroken, the word

she chooses with careful consideration.

She’d filled the pig with Kennedy dollars

from the grocery budget, each half dollar

a small luxury denied at the local

Piggly Wiggly, until one day, jingling

the shift and clink of the pig’s

growing silver weight, she shook

too hard, and as if the hoarded wealth

of her future were too much to contain,

the pig broke open—spilling coins

like water, a cold shiny music, into her lap—

fragments of bright pottery shards

scattering delicate as Easter eggshell.

  

3. Sneeze

 

My mother sneezes in Japanese. Ké-sho!

An exclamation of surprise—two sharp

crisp syllables before pulling out

the neatly folded and quartered tissue

she keeps tucked inside the wrist

of her sweater sleeve. Sometimes,

when ragweed blooms, I wonder why

her sneeze isn’t mine, why something

so involuntary, so deeply rooted

in the seed of speech, breaks free from

my mouth like thistle in a stiff breeze,

in a language other than my mother’s

tongue. How do you chart the diaspora

of a sneeze? I don’t know how

you turned out this way, she always

tells me, and I think that we are each

her own moon—one face in shadow,

undisclosed seas and surprising mountains,

rotating in the circular music

of separate spheres, but held in orbit

by the gravitational muscle

of the same mercurial spinning heart.

  

4. Dalmatian

 

There is an art to this. To shish

kebab the varnished pit of avocado

on three toothpicks above a pickle jar

of cool water, tease down the pale

thirsty hairs of root until one sinewy

arm punches up and unclenches its green

fisted hand, palm open, to the sun.

To discern the oniony star-struck

subterfuge of bulbs, their perverse

desires, death-like sleeps, and conspire

behind the scenes to embroider

the Elizabethan ruffles and festoons

of their flamboyant resurrections.

To trick the tomatoes into letting down

their swelling, tumescent orbs

in the cottony baked heat of the attic

until their sunburnt faces glow

like round orange lanterns under

the crepuscular twilight of the eaves.

Unwrapping the cuttings of succulents

from their moist, paper-towel bandages,

and snugging them down into firm

dimples of dirt and peat, coaxing up

the apple-green serpentine coils of sweet

pea with a snake charmer’s song to wind

around the trellis and flicker their quick

pink-petaled tongues. The tender slips

of mint, sueded upturned bells of petunia,

and slim fingers of pine that pluck

the metal window screen like a tin harp

by the breakfast nook where my father

stirs his morning coffee and waits

for the neighbors’ Dalmatian to hurl

itself over the back fence and hang,

limply twisting and gasping on the end

of its chain and collar like a polka-dotted

petticoat, until my father goes outside

and takes its baleful kicking weight

in his arms and gently tosses it back

over the fence into the neighbors’ yard.

Year after year, the dandelions

and clover are weeded out, summers

come and go, and roots stubbornly inch

down around the foundation of the house—

labyrinthine, powerful and deep.

  

5. Japanese Apple

 

She was given an apple on the plane,

round and fragrant with the scent

of her grandfather’s fruit orchards

during autumn, when chestnuts

dropped from their trees and struck

the metal rooftop like the small heavy

tongues of bells, and black dragon-

flies like quick shiny needles darted

in and out of the spin and turn

of leaves fluttering down like soft

bright scraps of silk. She wrapped

the apple in a napkin to save

for later, and it was confiscated

at customs before she had the chance

for even a taste. Over the years it

seemed to grow larger, yellower, juicier

and more delicious, and even though

there were burnished rows of apples

stacked in gleaming pyramids

at the supermarket with quaint

names like Macintosh, Winesap,

and Granny Smith, and even though

there were sunlit apple orchards

at my American grandfather’s ranch,

where rattlesnakes slumbered

in the heat and redolence of fruit

flesh, frightening the horses,

she sampled one after another,

but they never tasted as sweet

or as bright as the apple taken from her,

the one she had to leave behind.

Well a few people have been posting on flickr about the recent POTUS results with Superman in the forefront. I wanted to join in.

 

I've had all day to think about this and one thing that I've come to realize, is that we've gotta keep our heads up! I know myself personally, I'm heartbroken. Pessimism and Aggression have won. Lies and Greed have won. Oppression and Fear Mongering have won today and it's a damn shame.

The US chose the worst kind of person to become the most powerful man in the world and it's scary.

 

But see that only makes us the underdog now. We've gotta keep fighting! We've got to keep moving forward! Pushing for honesty and kindness before cynicism and hatred! We're all human, we're all still alive, and we can only do better from here!

 

Don't let it dampen your spirits! In the next coming weeks try your best to be positive and uplifting to those around you! Smile and laugh and love and care for as many people as you can! Because the amount of people hurting right now is only going to get bigger. Keep your friends and families close, and remind them that everything will be okay. That's what Superman would do.

 

We could use a Superman to give us hope. To right all the wrongs, bring justice to the people, and oppose monsters that want to control the world. But that would be too easy. We've got to do it for ourselves!

 

Remember to keep kindness in your heart.

 

I'm gonna leave you guys with a monologue from The Great Dictator performed by Charlie Chaplin. Take a couple minutes out of your evening and just listen.

 

Breathe.

 

We'll get through this together.

  

youtu.be/V1fMvLbE85E

  

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

 

Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost....

 

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.

To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish....

 

Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!

 

In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

 

Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!

 

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!”

I dug up these maidenhair ferns years ago from a building site in the country! They have spread their beauty all over my fern beds. I am heartbroken as I know many of you are about the Los Vegas shootings. My prayers go out to the victims. So shocking and we may never know why! Prayers to the hero's who helped others during this tragedy!

This boy lives in an apartment adjacent to this one.He was around when i went there to shoot,so i asked him if he'd like to pose for me and he reluctantly agreed.Thankfully!.The result is before you.The image depicts my country's state at the moment.People are generally heartbroken and disgusted with life as senseless killing sprees become more rampant.Just my way of expressing how i feel and what im going through at the moment.Thank you for your interest in my work.Really appreciate it.

Céline: You know, I guess I've been heartbroken too many times. And then I recovered. So now, you know, from the starts I make no effort…because I know it’s not going to work out, I know it’s not going to work out ...

 

Before Sunset

EXPLORED 8/24/11 #174

 

Edited an old picture of my car because i miss her.

 

My car is supposed to be done this week after being at the bodyshop for a month. Just waiting for the call from the bodyshop. Who would have known that i would miss my car so much.

After the passing of our beloved Cooper last August, we were heartbroken, my wife even more as he was her shadow. She has been working from home for the last 15 years, before it become the new norm and has wanted to get another dog, but with our travelling it would prove challenging. Solution, a micro goldendoodle.

 

Theodora, aka as Teddy was delivered on day 92 at 2:10 am (yes check the EXIF) by this giant stork. She’s from the Atkinson Family Goldendoobles in Utah. We are super happy, although sleep deprived.

You were sad and hurt. Maybe your heart was broken, but you weren’t broken

This is what www.amazoncares.org is all about. In this case we took a LOT of time to teach this abandoned dog, Calipso, that it was alright to trust people. And her new owner, Lady, does not suffer from the many social prejudices that exist about stray dogs. A match made in Heaven!!

 

UPDATE MAY 2007: I am heartbroken to report that Calipso has passed away of natural causes. Her heart was just too big and full of love! I have written a memorial essay that I hope you will read and share with others.

 

  

Esto es lo que es todo acerca de. En este caso, nosotros tomamos mucho tiempo de enseñar este perro abandonado, Calipso, que lo estuvo bien fiarse de personas. Su nuevo dueño, la Señora, no sufre de los muchos prejuicios sociales que existen acerca de perros perdidos. ¡Un igual hizo en el Cielo!!

 

ACTUALICE el 2007 de mayo: Soy angustioso para informar que Calipso se ha muerto de causas naturales. ¡El corazón fue justo demasiado grande y lleno de amor!

 

He escrito un ensayo conmemorativo que espera que usted leerá y compartirá con otros

 

The Mary St. pedestrian bridge. There were a number of locks, some of which seemed to be 'love locks' (if not all). However, some heartbroken snook took a spray can to them.

Heartbroken, Ariel throws herself into the sea, knowing that she will become one with it, no more mermaid, no more legs, no more life, just foam. But just as her form dissolves into sea spray, there is one more transformation. She feels the warmth of the sun and she is rising up into the sky to become one of the Daughters of the Air. Joining with the other daughters, they sing to her, shimmering in the early morning sunlight. Ethereal earthbound spirits, each of them have been given a chance for redemption.

 

Inspired by The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson

'Mermaid Life' Pose by Verocity on MP

   

C candid street photo of a really dramatic scene. A wedding party takes a group shot on the steps of a building. A young man appeared in the background all of a sudden. He looks rather upset and heartbroken. The bride was warned by the girl in the back row and looks back at the man. He seems to come to say his final goodbye to his beloved who has chosen another man as her husband. He is all protest, but he can do nothing. Black and white version.

I'll be brief...I am completely heartbroken and really angry, i have no words to describe how I feel since i read this news. I am not on other social networks,but with this pic of my cat and these few words I want to share my feelings and to help that innocent creature to find justice,so I want to thank with all my heart every single friend here on Flickr who will take a minute to read and sign this petition and try to find this psychopath. Thank you! animalpetitions.org/201483/justice-for-cat-tortured-to-de...

here is the whole story

fox6now.com/2017/03/14/cops-want-to-find-the-awful-person...

 

When during my last photo shoot Melissa’s bouquet started to fall apart I remembered a Li Shang Yin’s poem I had read a couple of days before:

 

The guests are gone from the pavilion high,

In the small garden flowers are whirling around.

Along the winding path the petals lie;

To greet the setting sun, they drift up from the ground.

  

Heartbroken, I cannot bear to sweep them away;

From my eyes, spring soon disappears.

I pine with passing, heart's desire lost for aye;

Nothing is left but a robe stained with tears.

   

My daughter 27, my fourth daughters boyfriend 18, my nephew 25 all died in the last three months. So young. So sad. So heartbroken. For Nade, Audrey and Siobhan - 'HEARTBROKEN'

Standing 80 feet tall, Puu Pehe—also known as “Sweetheart Rock” (center) —is one of Lanai’s most recognizable landmarks. It is also the setting for one of Hawaii’s most enduring legends.

 

The Legend

 

The story goes that a ravishing young princess from Maui, was captured by a young warrior from Lanai. He took her as his wife and brought her back to his home island. He was so stricken with her beauty that he was afraid to let other men see her, and thus he confined the princess to a sea cave near the rock.

 

One day, as the warrior was away, the weather suddenly changed drastically, and the raging surf began to pound this side of the island. The warrior rushed back to the cave, but it was too late: His beloved Puu Pehe had drowned. Heartbroken, he retrieved her body and, with the help of the gods, climbed the steep rock island, where he buried her in a tomb. Overcome with grief, the warrior then leapt off the rock to his death.

63/365. May 28, 2009.

Things are good, then they're bad...

I just want everything to work out for the best.

I'm completely torn....
