Falls Psychologie interessiert:
Thema: Motivationsenergie B4
Sobald diese Energie in mir auftaucht motiviert sie mich zu hilfreichen Taten für mich selbst und für andere. Sie ist der Autoaggression (gehört zu A4) entgegengesetzt.
Es ist die Motivationskraft des Mitgefühls die Taten bewirkt, die man als konstruktiv und „selbstlos“ bezeichnen könnte.
Wird diese Kraft in einem Menschen stark von seinem Ego durchwirkt, fordert dieses Ego für die hilfreichen Taten eine Gegenleistung. Entgeltung, Abgleich, Austausch, all diese Dinge zeigen, dass die hilfreichen Taten nicht wirklich selbstlos sind, wie sie vielleicht scheinen mögen.
Dennoch ist die ursprüngliche Energie vollkommen rein und selbstlos. Stichworte wie Maria oder Samariter wären hier zu nennen. Auch Mutter Theresa. Im buddhistischen Kontext würde ich Avalokiteshvara nennen oder Chenrezig.
B4 ist die Energie der Hilfsbereitschaft und herzlichen Unterstützung.
Altruistische Motivationskraft.
Wenn ich spontan anhalte und einen Tramper mitnehme, dann ist das ein Aufblitzen der B4. Wenn ich einem Menschen zuhöre, der mir sein Herz ausschüttet, gehört das ebenso zu B4.
Wenn ich bei vielen meiner Bilder creative commons wähle, motiviert mich B4 – oder der Geist von Mutter Theresa… ;-)

Abused & Abandoned Street Dogs.
Santa's little elf was very excited to help
feeding the temple animals. She never
stopped jabbering away in elf sounds.
Notice 2-Tone is singing Jingle Bells.
I'd swear she said her name was,
Miss Wzydrzynski which would
look like the 3rd line on an
eye chart. Never the less
somebody needs to
buy her a vowel ;-)
As I handed her food for the animals
she would first stuff some in her own
mouth then share with all the others.
Miss Elf had big fun helping Santa ;-)
Looks like I'll be heading out to the
temple again tomorrow. Not early as
it is so cold it's draining the life out of
me. Tomorrow will go down like this -
The clinic opens at 9AM. I'll pick up
injections for Mama then continue to
The Dog Palace where Molly & Crew
will be fed their special food. Then to
the nuns where Mama will receive her
two injections. Then, the dogs will all
be brushed and inspected for any kind
of dings, dents or health issues. At that
point I'll just take my time an head home.
Thank you for your comments and donations.
Thank You.
Jon&Crew.

Gene Kelly (1912-1996) was an American actor, dancer, singer, filmmaker, and choreographer. He was known for his energetic and athletic dancing style, his good looks, and the likable characters that he played on screen. He starred in, choreographed, or co-directed some of the most well-regarded musical films of the 1940s and 1950s until they fell out of fashion in the late 1950s. Kelly is best known today for his performances in films such as Anchors Aweigh (1945), On the Town (1949), which was his directorial debut, An American in Paris (1951), Singin' in the Rain (1952), Brigadoon (1954), and It's Always Fair Weather (1955).
Eugene Curran Kelly was born in 1912 in the East Liberty neighborhood of Pittsburgh. He was the third son of James Patrick Joseph Kelly, a phonograph salesman, and his wife, Harriet Catherine Curran. By the time he decided to dance, he was an accomplished sportsman and able to defend himself. He attended St. Raphael Elementary School in the Morningside neighborhood of Pittsburgh and graduated from Peabody High School at age 16. He entered Pennsylvania State College as a journalism major, but after the 1929 crash, he left school and found work in order to help his family financially. He created dance routines with his younger brother Fred to earn prize money in local talent contests. They also performed in local nightclubs. In 1931, Kelly enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh to study economics. His family opened a dance studio in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh. In 1932, they renamed it the Gene Kelly Studio of the Dance and opened a second location in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in 1933. Kelly served as a teacher at the studio during his undergraduate and law-student years at Pitt. Kelly eventually decided to pursue a career as a dance teacher and full-time entertainer, so he dropped out of law school after two months. In 1937, having successfully managed and developed the family's dance-school business, he finally did move to New York City in search of work as a choreographer. His first Broadway assignment, in 1938, was as a dancer in Cole Porter's 'Leave It to Me!' Kelly's first big breakthrough was in the Pulitzer Prize-winning 'The Time of Your Life' (1939), in which, for the first time on Broadway, he danced to his own choreography. In 1940, he got the lead role in Rodgers and Hart's 'Pal Joey', choreographed by Robert Alton. This role propelled him to stardom. Offers from Hollywood began to arrive.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was the largest and most powerful studio in Hollywood when Gene Kelly arrived in town in 1941. There he made his film debut with Judy Garland in For Me and My Gal (Busby Berkeley, 1942). The film was a production of the Arthur Freed unit at MGM and it was one of the big hits of the year. The talent pool at MGM was especially large during World War II, when Hollywood was a refuge for many musicians and others in the performing arts of Europe who were forced to flee the Nazis. Kelly's film debut was followed by Cole Porter's Du Barry Was a Lady (Roy Del Ruth, 1943) with Lucille Ball, the morale booster Thousands Cheer (George Sidney, 1943), Cover Girl (Charles Vidor, 1944) opposite Rita Harworth, and Anchors Aweigh (George Sidney, 1945) with Frank Sinatra. MGM gave him a free hand to devise a range of dance routines for the latter, including his duets with Sinatra and the celebrated animated dance with Jerry Mouse—the animation for which was supervised by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Anchors Aweigh became one of the most successful films of 1945 and Kelly was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor. In Ziegfeld Follies (1946), Kelly collaborated with Fred Astaire, for whom he had the greatest admiration, in 'The Babbitt and the Bromide' challenge dance routine. He co-starred with Judy Garland in The Pirate (1948) which gave full rein to Kelly's athleticism. It features Kelly's work with the Nicholas Brothers—the leading black dancers of their day—in a virtuoso dance routine. Now regarded as a classic, the film was ahead of its time but flopped at the box office. Kelly made his debut as a director with On the Town (1949), for Arthur Freed. Stanley Donen, brought to Hollywood by Kelly to be his assistant choreographer, received co-director credit for On the Town. A breakthrough in the musical film genre, it has been described as "the most inventive and effervescent musical thus far produced in Hollywood."
Two musicals secured Gene Kelly's reputation as a major figure in the American musical film. First, he directed and starred in An American in Paris (1951) with Leslie Caron. The highlight of the film is the seventeen-minute ballet sequence set to the title song written by George Gershwin and choreographed by Kelly. The sequence cost a half-million dollars (U.S.) to make in 1951 dollars. Kelly's many innovations transformed the Hollywood musical, and he is credited with almost single-handedly making the ballet form commercially acceptable to film audiences. In 1952, he received an Academy Honorary Award for his career achievements, the same year An American in Paris won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Probably the most admired of all film musicals is his next film, Singin' in the Rain (1952). As co-director, lead star, and choreographer, Kelly was the central driving force and unforgettable is Kelly's celebrated and much-imitated solo dance routine to the title song. Kelly continued his string of classic Hollywood musicals with Brigadoon (1954) with Cyd Charisse, and It's Always Fair Weather (1955), co-directed with Donen. The latter was a musical satire on television and advertising and includes his roller-skate dance routine to I Like Myself, and a dance trio with Michael Kidd and Dan Dailey that Kelly used to experiment with the widescreen possibilities of Cinemascope. Next followed Kelly's last musical film for MGM, Les Girls (1957), in which he partnered a trio of leading ladies, Mitzi Gaynor, Kay Kendall, and Taina Elg. It, too, sold few movie tickets. Dale O'Connor at IMDb: "Kelly was in the same league as Fred Astaire, but instead of a top hat and tails Kelly wore work clothes that went with his masculine, athletic dance style." He finally made for MGM The Happy Road (1957), set in his beloved France, his first foray in a new role as producer-director-actor. After leaving MGM, Kelly returned to stage work.
After musicals got out of fashion, Gene Kelly starred in two films outside the musical genre: Inherit the Wind (Stanley Kramer, 1960) with Spencer Tracey and Fredric March, and What a Way to Go! (1964). In 1967, he appeared in French musical comedy Les Demoiselles de Rochefort/The Young Girls of Rochefort (Jacques Demy, 1967) opposite Catherine Deneuve. It was a box-office success in France and nominated for Academy Awards for Best Music and Score of a Musical Picture. Kelly directed films without a collaborator, including the bedroom-farce comedy A Guide for the Married Man (1967) starring Walter Matthau, and the musical Hello, Dolly! (1969) starring Barbra Streisand and Matthau. The latter was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. He appeared as one of many special narrators in the surprise hit That's Entertainment! (Jack Haley Jr., 1974). The compilation film was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to celebrate the studio's 50th anniversary. The film turned the spotlight on MGM's legacy of musical films from the 1920s through the 1950s. Kelly subsequently directed and co-starred with his friend Fred Astaire in the sequel That's Entertainment, Part II (Gene Kelly, 1976). It was a measure of his powers of persuasion that he managed to coax the 77-year-old Astaire—who had insisted that his contract rule out any dancing, having long since retired—into performing a series of song-and-dance duets, evoking a powerful nostalgia for the glory days of the American musical film. It was later followed by That's Dancing! (Jack Haley Jr., 1985), and That's Entertainment, Part III (Bud Friedgen, Michael J. Sheridan, 1994). Kelly received lifetime achievement awards in the Kennedy Center Honors (1982) and from the Screen Actors Guild and American Film Institute. In 1999, the American Film Institute also ranked him as the 15th greatest male screen legend of Classic Hollywood Cinema. Gene Kelly passed away in 1996 at the age of 83 in Beverly Hills, California, U.S. His final film project was the animated film Cats Don't Dance, not released until 1997, on which Kelly acted as an uncredited choreographic consultant. It was dedicated to his memory. Gene Kelly was married three times: yo actress Betsy Blair (1941-1957), Jeanne Coyne (1960- her death in 1973) , and Patricia Ward (1990- his death in 1996).

Hauptkirche Sankt Michaelis, Hamburg
Hamburg's St. Michael's Church is full of "theatre" and I don't mean it in a negative way. Just that its interior, pews, organ and chapels look both dramatic and theatrical.
look into those eyes.......she needs us NOW! We've received some disturbing news that there is a proposal for more palm oil plantations to be put right along the banks of the Sekonyer River, which is the main access to the Tanjung Puting Nat. Park in Borneo. The park is the home of the people of the forest - the orang-utans - and many others......slow lorises, proboscis monkeys, white-handed gibbons, mouse deer, hornbills, clouded leopards, just to name a few. I have traveled this river, the rainforest and the palm oil plantations, and it is a travesty already, never mind more forest destruction, all in the name of greed.
If you are willing to send a letter or fax (sorry, no email) please contact me and I will give you further information and whom to send it too. Thank you. Jutta

"Jesus left Gennesaret and withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. Then out came a Canaanite woman from that district and started shouting, ‘Sir, Son of David, take pity on me. My daughter is tormented by a devil.’ But he answered her not a word. And his disciples went and pleaded with him. ‘Give her what she wants,’ they said ‘because she is shouting after us.’ He said in reply, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.’ But the woman had come up and was kneeling at his feet. ‘Lord,’ she said ‘help me.’ He replied, ‘It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the house-dogs.’ She retorted, ‘Ah yes, sir; but even house-dogs can eat the scraps that fall from their master’s table.’ Then Jesus answered her, ‘Woman, you have great faith. Let your wish be granted.’ And from that moment her daughter was well again."
– Matthew 15:21-28, which is today's Gospel at Mass.

Stained glass window from the National Cathedral in Washington DC.
I was grouting last night and looked up and Annie (with her new short do) was standing in the doorway with this green spatula (which I commandeered as the perfect tool to remove thin-set or grout from little crevices). This is the FIRST thing (other than twist-ties, for which she's queer) Annie has EVER bothered. She protected it all night -- never chewed it, just carried it -- and picked it up again this morning.
I interpreted Annie's behavior as her missing her mommy and it (together with a pep talk from my mother) prompted an epiphany. From now on, this overwhelmingly large remodeling project will NOT consume ALL my leisure time nor wear my body to the bone. I'm going to make Easter cookies, birthday cookies for my niece, start making gumpaste flowers -- I want to play, too!! -- and make time for my friends and family. If it takes a year to get all the work done, then so be it! I will just have to learn to cope with the chaos, which will certainly be easier than working myself to a frazzle!
I'm just wondering if you guys think I should change anything here. Should I put something inside the gazebo? Or should I change the snow on the roof? Any tips/ ideas/ improvements would be appreciated.
This is for the Eurobricks Winter Village contest and I'll be taking this photo down after. Thanks!
