Will I never, never understand, and have the words of all prophets of all times been wasted upon me? Did the martyrs die in vain, did the saints burn for nothing? Am I incapable of turning hope into actual life?

*Working Towards a Better World
Humankind's greatest priority is to reintegrate with the natural world. - Jonathon Porritt
In reality, we haven't escaped the gravity of life at all. We are still beholden to ecological laws, the same as any other life-form. - Janine M. Benyus
Our relationship with nature is more one of being than having. We are nature: we do not have nature. - Steven Harper
The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction. - Rachel Carson
The underlying economic logic of an economy based on unlimited growth remains largely unchallenged in public discourse. - Timothy C. Weiskel
A good deed done to an animal is as meritorious as a good deed done to a human being, while an act of cruelty to an animal is as bad as an act of cruelty to a human being. - Mohammed
The missing link between animals and a truly humane mankind is man himself, who does not yet see himself as a part of the world, claiming it instead for himself. -
Dr. Michael W. Fox, One Earth, One Mind
Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is--whether its victim is human or animal--we cannot expect things to be much better in this world. -Rachel Carson
We must never permit the voice of humanity within us to be silenced. It is man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man. - Albert Schweitzer, quoted in Reverence for Life
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
You won’t find a windmill complex like Kinderdijk anywhere else in the world. The ingenious system of windmills and pumping stations has been keeping the soil dry here for nearly a thousand years now, in a constant struggle between human brains and the power of the water.Visitors come from all across the world to experience this unique piece of history for themselves. Since Kinderdijk is a monument to the history of humankind, we were officially included as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.

The Robin's red breast and habit of living close to humankind makes it one of our most familiar birds.
Robins are widely distributed in Britain & Ireland throughout the year, from Shetland to the Channel Islands, apart from on the highest mountain tops. Robin breeding numbers increased through the last part of the 20th century and have been fairly stable since, albeit with some fluctuations.
The Robin is both a resident and also a migrant visitor to Britain during the winter months, when birds from northern and eastern Europe help to swell numbers. During particularly cold weather this pugnacious little bird can be seen sharing bird tables with several other Robins, all of them trying to defend the food source they have found.
Miss Continent 2023: Russian Federation.
For the second Division Finale round "Fantasy Folklore" Tara created a tribute to Slavic mythology and brings on stage a lovely, respectful, and divine image of... TARA the Slavic Goddess of the Guiding Star. She was the youngest daughter of Perun, sister of Tarkh-Dazhdbog, and patron-protector of Belovodye (the territory of Western Siberia) is called together with Eastern Siberia as “The Great Tartaria” (this name existed on world maps till 18th century), that is the land of Tarkh and Tara.
Name "TARA" we can find in many other world mythologies, most closest are Indian and Sumerian. Goddess Tara (sanskrit "savior") is considered a special patroness of women, bringing them knowledge and protection on their spiritual path. The main symbolic colors of this goddess are White - giving longevity and Green - protecting from misfortunes and troubles. This goddess was filled with love, attention, care, kindness, and tenderness. She showed all these feelings to both nature and Humankind. At times, the Slavic peoples called upon the North Star in honor of the goddess Tara.

with a view to The Palava Protected Landscape Area
The territory of the Pálava Protected Landscape Area is an unparalleled biosphere reserve.
To this day, the unique natural landscape is a refuge for numerous rare plants and animals, so don’t forget to look down at the ground. The local rocks are unusual as regards their colour and shape – we bet that you have never seen similar rocks anywhere else. Pálava will present you with a successful example of a balanced relationship between humankind and nature, the result of which is a picturesque cultural landscape.

In that which we share,
let us see the common prayer of humanity.
In that which we differ,
let us wonder at the freedom of humankind.
Passover is an eight-day celebration marking the deliverance of the Jews from slavery in Egypt. It begins with the Seder--a family worship service and evening meal that constitute the home Passover ceremony that begins before the sundown. It was good seeing my in laws and celebrating the holiday with them. As always, dinner was super delicious! :)

Symbolic Spiral Meaning
Perhaps it's most prolific appearance is in Celtic symbology where we see the spirals decorating a myriad of their ancient artifacts. In Celtic art and symbolism, we can intuit a few meanings from the forcefully present spiral...
In terms of spirituality, the spiral symbol can represent the path leading from outer consciousness (materialism, external awareness, ego, outward perception) to the inner soul (enlightenment, unseen essence, nirvana, cosmic awareness). Movements between the inner (intuitive, intangible) world and the outer (matter, manifested) world are mapped by the spiraling of archetypal rings; marking the evolution of humankind on both an individual and collective scale.
Moreover, in terms of rebirth or growth, the spiral symbol can represent the consciousness of nature beginning from the core or center and thus expanding outwardly. This is the way of all things, as recognized by most mystics.
Single Spiral
The single spiral is fairly common and may represent growth, birth or an expansion of consciousness.
Pitch Drop, 2016, Julian Charrière
Pitch Drop (2016) refers to the experiment of the same name.
The experiment, begun in 1930 in a laboratory in New Zealand, that has been studying the dripping behavior of hard and rock-like pitch for some 90 years.
Charrière's work takes up this lengthy process: The time-based sculpture drips once every ten years, following a rhythm of centuries beyond the human lifespan.
Until the upper container would be empty,
more than 10,000 years would pass.
This enormous time span corresponds to the duration of the Holocene so far,
the period in the history of the Earth that marks the evolution of humankind
development of humankind from the Neolithic period to the
present.
I have seen the work of art years ago in Düsseldorf and could already notice minimal changes, but it has not yet come to the formation of drops.
It is also a good experiment to show that nuclear waste repositories, no matter in what hard sediment, will be in flux over the millennia.

Given the Beauty of this Flower and its Visitor, clearly the Devil lost! The ancient story goes that the vernacular name of Succisella inflexa, Southern Devil's Bit (Morsus diaboli), goes back on the enmity between the Devil and Beneficial Nature. Our Scabious once in the dawn of humanity was a Heal-All, much to the dismay of the Devil who sought only anguish for humankind. Out of pure spite he bit off the main part of Scabious's root - regard its shallow rooting today - hoping the plant would die. Hence 'Devil's Bit'. Of course, Succisella didn't die but it did lose its healing powers. In compensation it remained attractive and beautiful, full of Plenty for myriad insects among which Butterflies and also this marvelous Hoverfly.
Belted Flyer. Volucella zonaria, by the standard of Hoverfly sizes, is very large; it measures about 2.5 cm (=almost an inch) compared to the 2-3 mm (.09 inch) of the smallest ones. And Zonaria's color is striking as well, very orange-yellow, mimicking a Hornet. So often it's called the Hornet Hoverfly. Entirely harmless, though; not a devil at all in her!

He's half the tree he used to be
The storms they finally took their toll
A quarter century perched on the rock
Alone but stalwart, braving wind and sea
If trees have souls, and I'm sure they do
Ancient wisdom flows through branch and bark
Charting the history of natural stamina
Showing humankind the truth of beauty too
The tree, he's just like you and I
Surrounded by others, yet standing alone
Whittled away by time and tide
Erect e'en if disabled, reaching toward sky
That 'Ol Lone Cypress has much to impart
And I will listen to his natural wisdom
That 'Ol Lone Cypress, stoic, sturdy, yet brittle
Breathes with life, alongside my heart

On July 18, 1776, the American Declaration of Independence was proclaimed from this balcony by Col. Thomas Crafts.
---
Without any politics or ideology: The Declaration of Independence is - in my honest opinion - one of the greatest documents in the history of the humankind. I get goose bumps everytime I read these words: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"...
It was a rather dark morning at this cornfield, which was close to a forest. The light was dim but somehow fascinating, as I discovered, because the glowing red moonflowers appeared somewhat mysterious in this light. The wind contributed to this, blowing very gently over the cornfield, which caused it to sway back and forth like a wave in the ocean. I was actually out that early morning to spot animals in the forest, but the glow of the moonflowers didn't escape my notice. What's more, the animals must have noticed that I was focusing on the glowing red flowers for once.
The ancient Dakota Indians were wise. They knew that the heart of a person who becomes alienated from nature becomes hardened. They knew that a lack of respect for all living things and everything that grows in nature will soon lead to the death of respect for humankind as well. Therefore, the influence of nature, which made young people sensitive, was an important part of their education.

Incredible thoughts incredible minds
Too many great ideas inside
It's a miracle my head can contain them
My spectacular brain
For all humankind
Changing how we think about space and time
Now it's time to share them with the people
my brain is a genius
Incredible thoughts
Incredible minds
I'm so overwhelmed
How did my brain conceive them
Fabio just looks so thoughtful in this picture...I imagine the thoughts in this song are exactly what he's thinking about....ROFL!
Far beyond the stars known by humankind lies the luminous planet of Nytherra.
It is known as the planet of eternal twilight.
In Nytherra the skies shimmer in a permanent state of dusk, painting the world in soft purples and blues.
Glowing fungi light the forests like constellations that have descended to the earth.
More than 1000 living species inhabit Nytherra, but the most beautiful and magical are the Aelari.
These butterfly-like humanoids bear wings that shimmer like stained glass.
Upon death, their wings vanish into the air. For this reason, it is commonly believed that their wings are extensions of their very souls.
Strong emotions make their wings shine brighter. When an Aelari meets their soulmate, their wings shine with a light so bright it becomes difficult to look at.
In some corner deep within the Woods of Glowmire, an Aelari couple dances under the moonlight.
Their radiant wings illuminate the forest, as they move with a silence woven from grace.
A sight so wondrous it dares to rival the beauty of the Gods themselves.

Dystopian Night - blindfolded humankind
a place in sl with perfect windlights lets you dive into a dystopian admosphere
"It came upon the midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth
to touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on earth, good will to men,
from heaven's gracious King."
The world in solemn stillness lay
to hear the angels sing.
...
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
the world has suffered long;
beneath the heavenly hymn have rolled
two thousand years of wrong;
and warring humankind hears not
the tidings which they bring;
O hush the noise and cease your strife
and hear the angels sing!
...
For lo! the days are hastening on,
by prophets seen of old,
when with the ever-circling years
shall come the time foretold,
when the new heaven and earth shall own
the Prince of Peace their King,
and all the world send back the song
which now the angels sing."
Edward Hamilton Sears, 1849
On Christmas Eve
Today is Earth Day.
Yes, we have walked on the moon, flown a helicopter in Mars a couple of days ago, and our spaceships have shuttled our telescopes to outer edges of the solar system. Yet, mankind’s destiny is tied to none of these places. It is welded to this planet. Our destiny has no PLAN(et) B. This is it!
Today, like calling one’s mom on Mother’s Day, a lot of people talk about saving the planet. I say, cut the lard out of that big talk and realize instead that the Earth day is about preservation of not the planet, but the humankind. If the planet becomes inhabitable to human beings in the near future, life will adapt and continue to flourish via some hardy species. Forests will likely remain green and rivulets will endlessly flow. Only human beings will disappear.
That said, allow me to change a few perspectives. Let’s take another look at our Earth from afar in the solar system. Let’s appreciate the diminutiveness of our planet and thereby, accept ours. Then, with this newfound humility, let’s call our mother earth today –it’s Earth Day after all– and tell her, we will call on her every day.

"Leap Sunrise"
Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri
02-29-20
8:21 am pst
Some time before humankind awakened, and for some time after humankind sleeps the last sleep
The sand, sun, sky, and sea creates it's scene
Seen only by the Godhead, the AllFather, the Cosmos
And even now, only seen by some of humankind who awaken in time
Some of the time
All of the time the secrets of Universal Consciousness are revealed
All of the time myriad minions and motions fueled by geology, cosmic forces, creation and destruction
Serve to shock and awe with beauty almost unfathomable
Down in the fathoms of cosmic recollection, even those who cannot see all, will in time and with the eradication of humanly existence see into and outside of all beauty
Heaven, Universe, Cosmic Consciousness
And that will happen to all, in time
But in this time, this moment, this wondrous existence
I am awake, and watching, absorbing, enjoying the beauty
Of Creation
All around me
During Leap Sunrise, which only occurs every four years,
And later at Leap Sunset, leaping into the unknown of yet another day.
Safdar Jang (aka Safdarjung) was a Nawab (prince) of Awadh and a vizier to the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah. XVIII century. The mausoleum has been inscribed in the Patrimony of the Humankind list by the UNESCO.

The light passes through concrete, revealing more of the handrails than you could actually see. The tide brought the water to the very edge of the coastal concrete barrier, removing the natural element of sand synonymous with the coastline here. Somehow this takes a beautiful landscape away and makes the frame more of a statement about how humankind attempt to control their envrionment.

It’s time that we understand our role as stewards of this planet -
That we respect and honor the delicate balance of our world.
It’s time that we realize, “We are all one people” –
That separateness is an illusion and that, in truth, we are all connected.
It’s time we see past the color of one’s skin or the name of one’s God -
That we realize we are merely traveling parallel paths leading up the same mountain.
It’s time that we get past ego and discover our innate spiritual essence -
That we release our selfish desires and serve humankind unconditionally, with love.
It’s time that we “Love all, serve all” -
That we be at peace.
IT’S TIME! Continued

Around 1085 the ground began to shake, and lava spewed high into the air. When the eruption finished, it had changed both the landscape and the people who lived here. Today, it teaches how nature and humankind affect each other—and how rebirth and renewal happen in the wake of disaster.
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 Black Hole Experience by Age Of Union is described as an immersive journey "exploring spirituality in the modern age, acting as a reset for humankind. By confronting the unknown, we unlock our potential for growth, igniting the next generation of changemakers and raising collective consciousness."
I can say it was both amazing and very calming which is saying a lot since it was set up in Times Square. It's heading to Ontario and Montreal later this month.

This greeted me when I lifted the quilt … However direct their gaze, animals live in worlds unknowable to humankind. Wonderful, innit?
Are we not wise enough to give all we are?
Surely we're bright enough to outshine the stars
But humankind gets so lost in finding its way.
At the top of the iconostasis is the icon of the Holy Virgin of Pechersk. The icon belongs to one of the main iconographic types of the image of the Mother of God: Hodegetria ("Putivnytsa" - Our Lady of the Way).
Угорі – ікона “Печерська Пресвята Богородиця». Ікона відповідає одному з основних іконографічних типів зображення Богородиці: Одигітрія («Путівниця»). Благовіщенський собор. Святошин. Киів.
A Hodegetria, or Virgin Hodegetria, is an iconographic depiction of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary) holding the Child Jesus at her side while pointing to him as the source of salvation for humankind. The Virgin's head usually inclines towards the child, who raises his hand in a blessing gesture. Metals are often used to draw attention to young Christ, reflecting light and shining in a way to embody divinity. In the Western Church this type of icon is sometimes called Our Lady of the Way.
Одигітрія ,або Діва Одигітрія , є іконографічним зображенням Богородиці ( Діви Марії ), що тримає Немовля Ісуса поруч із собою і вказує на нього як джерело спасіння для людства. Голова Діви зазвичай нахилена до дитини, яка піднімає руку в жесті, що благословляє. Метали часто використовуються для привернення уваги до молодого Христа, відбиваючи світло і сяючи таким чином, щоб уособлювати божественність. У Західній Церкві цей тип ікони іноді називають Богоматір'ю Шляху.
