In the fall of '93, we naively settled into our newly purchased 7,000-foot elevation mountain home, blissfully ignorant of the impending "snow-apocalypse."

Our builder, amidst fireside cocktails and tales of his ski-racing glory days, casually mentioned "snow load." I, in my flatlander innocence, dismissed it.

Spring of '94 delivered a brutal, hands-on education in snow removal. Turns out, it's not a cocktail hour activity 😅

But, looking back, that backbreaking "snow removal course" was surprisingly memorable, and something my wife and I would gladly repeat.

There is so much division in this world. So what is really the path of healing? It can begin in this moment, by embracing the life that's here.

Tara Brach

When it all boils down, it's about embracing each others' stories and maybe even finding that synergy to collaborate for the common good.

Dhani Jones

There are so many things to talk about between black people, Hispanic people, white people, gay people, men, women, it's all based on fear. We all have fears, this thing that stops us from embracing as we are one. We are never going to be one. People are messed up, but humor lets us see how ignorant we can be.

"Ah, love, let us be true

To one another! for the world, which seems

To lie before us like a land of dreams,

So various, so beautiful, so new,

Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,

Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;

And we are here as on a darkling plain

Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,

Where ignorant armies clash by night."

Introduction

The Importance of the Word of God | "Knowing the Three Stages of God’s Work Is the Path to Knowing God" (Part Two)

www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/knowing-the-three-stages-...

Almighty God says, "The three stages of work are at the heart of God’s entire management, and in them are expressed the disposition of God and what He is. Those who do not know of the three stages of God’s work are incapable of realizing how God expresses His disposition, nor do they know the wisdom of God’s Work, and they remain ignorant of the many ways in which He saves mankind, and His will for the whole of mankind. The three stages of work are the full expression of the work of saving mankind. Those who do not know the three stages of work will be ignorant of the various methods and principles of the Holy Spirit’s work; those who only rigidly stick to doctrine that remains from one stage of work are people who limit God to doctrine, and whose belief in God is vague and uncertain. Such people will never receive God’s salvation."

A rare beautiful spot in Istanbul and what did they do with it? It is terrible - for every one interested in biology and nature it is sad to see how ignorantly they destroyed everything for the sake of "nice open places". There used to be rare species here, but no more. They "harvested" the larger trees and cut them in the middle.

He often sees swiftly an entire scene that most people would pass unnoticed. His vision is objective, primarily. His focus is on the world, the scene, the subject, the detail. As he scans his subject he sees as the lens sees, which differs from human vision. Simultaneously he sees the end result, which is to say he sees photographically :-)

A letter to our f* Brazilian president.

'Undear' President of Brazil,

I will simply love who I want to and all people should be equal in every way.

I flipped my president off.

This finger to you, undear president.

You're racist, prejudiced, ignorant, vindictive, destructive, separator, unworthy, etc.

PS. My reason:

Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest grows 96% in September, indicate warnings from INPE (National Institute for Space Research - Government Agency).

The destruction of the world's largest rainforest totaled 7,854 square kilometers between January and September, according to the National Institute for Space Research (Inpe). This is 10 times the area of New York City.

The first scientific description of Greyia sutherlandia was written by William Henry Harvey (1811-1866) in 1859. He marvels at the fact that no-one before him has done so because Greyia is such an obvious bright plant in Natal. He does, however, refer to what Allen Francis Gardiner (1794-1851) observed in his book on Natal where the latter had travelled in 1835. Gardiner was a British Royal Navy officer turned Christian missionary (in Natal he took the name 'Hambanathi' to enjoin the Native population 'to come with us' Christians, a quote from the Biblical book of Numbers 10.29). He roamed widely, adventuresome and intrepidly in South Africa and in South America. In his book on the 'Zooloo Country', Gardiner draws our plant and gives a layman's description of it. Harvey identified it as this Greyia, but sharply remarks in the way of a professor: 'It is greatly to be regretted that intelligent travellers in new countries should be so ignorant of botany and the simplest botanical terms' to qive an adequate description.

In those days I worked in a joint venture during the day and took a picture at night. To begin with, I went to the station and photographed the migrant workers living in the square. Then I went to an unknown place by bus and took a picture of unknown people. I got home at midnight. Though I was utterly ignorant of photography, I was active and fearless at the time…

My very first protest in Chicago was just a couple of months after arriving when 911 happened. "My grief is not a cry for war" and "Not in my Name" were chanted all along Michigan Avenue. It was the most massive feeling as I am from a much smaller city and I was such a disillusioned 21 year old at the time that I thought surely our government had to listen to so many citizens and not wage war. Wasn't I so cute back then?

Sometimes, I feel like I've never really stopped protesting. There is also daily resistance. An act of kindness in everything you do. An intrinsic value placed on those who are not white, not cis gendered, not able bodied, not heterosexual, and not wealthy. I think I heard it best when someone said, "I don't know how to convince you that you should care about others."

And here we are...all over again and again. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. I feel like I have fallen into a black hole and am living in a dark warped reality since election day. I know it's important to resist but I doubt anything I have the power to do will do much good to stop this maniac. I can try to make life better for my students and families and be there for my own friends and family and that's about it. I feel a constant sense of doom.

Still, it's good to look to the left. Then, look to the right. In front, behind you...use your peripheral vision and your depth perception and realize that you are far from alone in your outrage and that Trump does not have anything near a mandate in this country, no matter how many hateful and ignorant people there are. Just for a moment, tell yourself that there are still more good people than bad people.

Catch of the day. Is that a perfect pink, or what?

I'm almost totally ignorant about roses, but this is one of the old-fashioned, hrm, not singlet blooms but not the massive multi-layered hybrids either. This one is growing in the Cambria Historic Society garden, which is intended (I think) to reflect gardening here in the early days. I'd be happy to hear from rose experts!

If only that were true. I find it a little melancholy when I see parent and child this time of year. The parent seems to have a 'far-off' look that betrays thoughts of soon leaving forever, the child she devoted her life to the last 3 months. On the other hand, the child seems to have a look of ignorant bliss - delighted to spend time with a parent that has doted on it, and fed it for it's entire existence. Little does it know that it will soon be fending for itself and will have to find it's way south without Mom's help. (Dad left two weeks ago) I always get a tear in my eye wondering what does she say to them before she takes off for good and does she get sad or is she relieved. Maybe God made birds not to feel anything, but I find that hard to believe. This Juvie is still wanting mom to feed it, where as the other sibling is totally independent... feeding itself and learning how to fly.
