“Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.” – Mark Jenkins

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.

The story is that Mary appeared to 3 shepherd children in Portugal in 1917. She told them that God was disappointed in humankind (WWI was raging) & that he would send more wars to punish us for our sins. The wars would be caused by atheistic Russia &, to stop this, Catholics should pray, esp the rosary, & work to convert Russia . This really resonated when I first heard it as a school kid during the Cold War -- we were having regular nuclear war drills at the time. Of course the lady kind of missed Germany & we never did end up fighting directly against Russia, but she certainly had the right idea about more wars coming. For the last visitation (there were 4 or 5) she promised a miracle to prove it wasn't a scam. That day the sun enlarged, whirled like a pinwheel & danced in the sky. The lady also gave the kids a secret message, which they wrote down & gave to their bishop, who handed it on to the pope. The secret was supposed to be revealed by 1960, but it's still a secret today. For me as a kid, this secret message was the most fascinating part of the story. What was it about? What had they decided was TOO TERRIBLE for us to know?
Interestingly, as I researched this on google, guess what I came upon? Cardinal Ratzinger, the recently elected pope, had had a look at the secret message back when he was enforcer for the last guy. "In an interview conducted in November 1984, Cardinal Ratzinger (of the Holy Office) confirmed that, with the Pope’s permission, he had read the Secret and that it concerns, in his words, 'a radical call to conversion, the absolute gravity of history, the dangers threatening the Faith and the life of a Christian, and therefore the world. And also the importance of the last times.' " Source is here

Mystical (7A-1) — Seeing the beauty in nature inspire me because it is always a fascination to see how the bird works in nature. This piece of work reminds me of Roni Horn because her work is about between the humankind and nature. I understand how to work with nature and how nature affects me. Just because I see the varieties of birds outside don’t mean they are just the birds flying in the air or sitting on the branch. I feel I can be connected to the bird to see beyond the bird within nature and that idea of mine is the matter to me. I quietly approach to the bird that sat on the branch, and I take the photograph of it carefully without scaring the bird away. I focus on the bird that is surrounded by the branches by zoom in at 55 mm. I don’t want the photo has so much light, which I want it to be natural light as possible (f18). The shutter speed is 800 to avoid the shaking and avoid blur on the bird. I want some of the shadows to be seen especially the bird because there is the depth of the branches where the bird is far from me.
Mind Trick (7A-2) - The mind trick art inspires me because it takes the brain to work harder as to figure out what is there and what else is there. My idea is to have the photo to exercise the brain to see things more and be able to tell the difference in the picture. I photograph this picture that is already there. I zoom out at 18 mm, and I have the camera to be close to the ground. I use the shutter speed at 200 to avoid shaking. I focus on the background than the foreground to see the details of the light, shadows, and colors.
Art is Significant (7B-1) - It comes to my mind when I go to an art museum, I only look at the artworks, and people are invisible because the artworks emphasize the work. See the artworks more than the people inspire me because when I look at them, the people are invisible. I stand more than 6 feet away from a security guard guy and the artworks. I zoom in at 55 mm to make it look like I stand closer to the security guard guy and the artworks. I use f5.6 to have more light because it is inside and the lights are not too bright. Shadows are going on from different directions, and the colors vibrate. I focus on the foreground than the background to emphasize the artworks are more focus than a security guard guy. Everything is already there; no staged set up.
Look Beyond The Mirror (7B-2) - This photo inspires me because I see the mirror that has the paint of neon colors with words. I don’t see the mirror itself, but see the words that describe the meaning beyond the phrase. To me, it says as “When looking in the mirror constantly, you are not able to achieve the things you want by keep looking at the mirror. The mirror is more of the imagination. The only way to achieve the goals is to do it and keep going until successful without looking at yourself in the mirror.” My idea for this picture is to show the mirror is invisible to show the truth. This artwork is already there. I stand less than 6 feet away from it, and I take the picture at f4.5 because of the indoor light. I frame the piece of work hanging on the wall. There is a shadow below the mirror. I focus on the foreground than the background to emphasize the work especially the colors.
Outdoor Meet Underwater (7C) - This picture inspires me because surrealism art is the type of imagination or the fantasy world. Sometimes, I imagine things in my mind that I know they are not real in reality. My idea for this is to show what it is like to have outdoor flower and insect living under the water. I take the photograph of the tree flower and the bee and add to the underwater from the internet. I also add the honeycomb from the web and add it as well. There is a lot of adjustments to this photo such as the colors, size, and lightness.

“sasrai-Movement” translated as “bold cultural revolution” by the Pope
Pope Francis says the world urgently needs a “bold cultural revolution” to tackle the looming challenge of catastrophic climate change while addressing the needs of the poor. In a much-anticipated, 184-page encyclical, the reformist Pope endorsed the scientific consensus that humankind is causing a dramatic shift in the world’s climate, which will have the greatest impact on the world’s poor. But he rejected the notion that market mechanisms or technological approaches alone can provide the solution.
Since 2004 “sasrai-Movement” appeals `We must get each child caring to each particle of food and resources. Combat the Climate Change, Global Warming, Poverty, Hunger, Disaster, Ensure Peace, Justice, Dignity and Rights for Each - `save a bit, reserve, preserve, rejuvenate and conserve resources.’ Unfortunately most of the focus is human biased, but everything on this planet is symbiotically connected - plants, animals, humans and the Earth itself. We are in need of far sighted Goal & Target.
Planet in Need:
Each Creature Equality
Gender Equality
`sasrai’ Living
Stop Consumption Slavery
Stop Advertisement Administered Lifestyle
Pope Francis indicates: “Today, we have to realize that a true ecological approach always becomes a so¬cial approach; it must integrate questions of jus¬tice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor,”
“sasrai-Movement” ONLY THE PATH TO SAVE MOTHER PLANET EARTH, NATURE. It’s only the path to Eliminate Racial Discrimination - End violence against WOMEN and CHILDREN. sasrai only the path to end POVERTY, VULNERABILITY, HUNGER, DISASTER, CLIMATE Change. Each second, minute, hour day needed to be spent considering earth, environment and humanity. We must get each child caring to each particle of food and resources. Wish the Peace, Justice, Dignity and Rights for all - save a bit, reserve, preserve, rejuvenate and conserve resources.
Let's we try to save one Taka/dollar/pound/yen ........from our daily use, consumption, expenditure, LUXURY combat the CLIMATE CHANGE, GLOBAL WARMING and the sequences Poverty, Hunger, Disaster, Peace, Justice, Human Security, Dignity, Rights
Let's be a desired friend to all creature, humanity, environment, earth
Plant for planet, water for world, environment for entire
sasrai – work locally-serve globally, initiative local-outcome global
sasrai – sustainable augmentation, solicited restraint, animated integrity
NB. UN, INGO,NGO Officials need Orientation on “sasrai-Movement” Pope’s “bold cultural revolution”
