MY PRAYER FOR YOU – Alisa Turner
Little Billy falls asleep
do you remember he cannot speak
but still he tries to tell the others
keep the distance sisters and brothers
Chloe and Harry fall asleep
unaware of Little Billy's speech
they are comfy; they are warm
safe indoors and free from harm
Today was such a sunny day
they spent a long time out to play
I saw a pair of Goldfinch birds
not seen them here before or heard
And I saw a butterfly
a sign of hope then with a sigh
he flew away above the hedge
but left behind him the sweetest message
The skies are blue and clear today
but for a few wispy clouds across the bay
I really had a lovely time
in my gardens so sublime
I pray for you that you will be
always safe and always healthy
and if my words only reach just one
then my eyes will light up with the sun
and know my purpose here on Earth has only just begun …

Indeed, chess played a significant role in the cultural and intellectual life of the Ottoman Empire. The game's popularity extended across different social classes, and its strategic nature made it a valuable tool for military training and intellectual development.
The use of chess as a means of military education is noteworthy, as it reflects the recognition of the game's ability to enhance strategic thinking and planning. The Ottomans integrated chess into the curriculum of military academies, providing officers with a practical and enjoyable way to develop their strategic skills.
The artistic and cultural aspects of Ottoman chess sets highlight the intersection of chess with the broader artistic traditions of the time. The intricate designs and motifs inspired by Islamic art and architecture not only added aesthetic value to the chess sets but also showcased the cultural richness of the Ottoman Empire.
The existence of manuscripts and treatises on chess from the Ottoman period underscores the intellectual engagement with the game. These works not only discussed strategies and rules but also delved into the cultural and philosophical dimensions of chess. Such writings contributed to the broader intellectual heritage of the Ottoman Empire.
The widespread popularity of chess, evident in its presence in various social settings, from the courts of the sultans to coffeehouses, reflects its accessibility to people from different walks of life. The local variations and adaptations of the game over time further demonstrate its dynamic evolution within the Ottoman cultural context.
Overall, the history of chess in the Ottoman Empire is a fascinating chapter that highlights the multifaceted role of the game in shaping intellectual, artistic, and military aspects of society during that period.

PERFECT DAY – LOU REED
Reminiscent of an Italian villa
where once I basked in innocence
terracotta roof tiles warmed in the sun
the Summer-esque air filled with luscious scents
orange blossom flowers and lush French cherry
fruit trees of many different kinds
culinary delights; reimagined recipes
to indulge; to experiment with love in mind
the essential oils of citrus fruit
mingled with those of rosemary leaves
that brushed or crushed in loving hands
memories so sweet are now retrieved
brought to mind and savoured in
this paradisal garden
languishing; eyes half-closed; time slips by
shrugging off Winter; clothes discarding
echoing cries of overhead gulls
birds on the wing and wisps of breeze
curling tendrils of my hair
loosening limbs; relax with ease
the pigeon watches me from his viewpoint
a sentinel of all he surveys
how I love this time of romantic notions
that paint pretty pictures of halcyon days
these moments will be one day cherished
and warm my bones in Winter times
for now I am happy and content
luxuriating; pondering in a world that rhymes
there's nothing more poetic than a wildlife garden
all the sounds and smells of nature raw
no need to try; all is forgiving
it is; just is behind closed doors
a secret garden of many rooms
scented with rose and sumptuous blooms
velvety; sensual; grass-filled meadows
wildflowers; small creatures and delicious echoes
there is no room here for earthly worries
no place for anxious thoughts; concerns
all is forgotten in these sweet moments
nature is heavenly; it's where I learn
to live every moment as if it's my last
to begin again without delay
to laugh; to love; to find a balance
I am enjoying this perfect day.

" A tall, often solitary bird, the Grey Heron is one of the UK's most familiar birds..It feeds mainly on fish, but also eats small mammals (even Moles!), waterbirds (sometimes up to the size of a Coot) and Crayfish...It is often seen standing stock-still in the shallow waters of lakes, rivers and ponds, patiently hunting fish that flit about below the surface...It will visit gardens with ornamental ponds, looking for an easy meal..."

Prompt: Cyndi Lauper dressed as a court jester in colorful motley fool attire.
Lauper is known for her distinctive image, featuring a variety of hair colors and eccentric clothing, and for her powerful and distinctive four-octave singing range. She has been celebrated for her humanitarian work, particularly as an advocate for LGBT rights in the United States. Her charitable efforts were acknowledged in 2013 when she was invited as a special guest to attend U.S. President Barack Obama's second inauguration. Cynthia Ann Stephanie Lauper (born June 22, 1953) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and activist. Her career has spanned over 40. I love her flambpyant style and a few of her songs too.

Georgian Squares in Edinburgh & a Poetry Garden in the City of Literature.A Square with Vibrant Colours & Verses ...
*The Grandeur of St Andrew Square & The designated Poetry Garden * UNESCO city of literature *
*St Andrew Square was built in 1770 and is part of the New Town design.The centrepiece of the Garden is the fluted column of the Melville Monument,commemorating Henry Dundas,1st Viscount Melville,a politician described as the uncrowned king of Scotland.
Its construction has a literary link as the grandfather of Robert Louis Stevenson,the world-famous author and poet, was a lighthouse engineer,and he was consulted about the foundations for the 150ft monument when it was built in 1823.
*In the 1780’s, during the Scottish Enlightenment period,St Andrew Square was free from the inconveniencies of the old city and was the most fashionable address in the New Town.
On 4th April 2008,the Garden with the wonderful pool and the pathways around,opened to the public for the first time in 230 years and dedicated space to Poetry.
*Richard Holloway,once Chairman of the Scottish Arts Council,said that the wonderful thing about having a Poetry Garden in a famous square,in a beautiful city,is the way it will help people to pause for a minute and let Poetry into their lives.
"Wring the Scottish Rain Clouds Dry ...
the summer's sun slowed down
to pearl-sheen dusk on hillsides and on lochs at midnight.
And, most of all, take the years that have already run to dust,
the dust we spill behind us…
All this,distill,and cask,and wait ...
The senselessness of human things resolves
to Who we Are and our Present Fate.
Let's taste,let's savour and enjoy ...
Here's life! Here's courage to go on ... " Ron Butlin

" Mute Swans...The male and the female birds, the cob and pen, usually attempt to mate for life, although it is not true to say that if one of the birds were to die the other would necessarily pine away...It is possible for an adult bird to find an alternative mate..."
The female lays up to seven eggs between late April and early May. Both sexes incubate the eggs, which hatch after 35-41 days...The young birds, or cygnets, sometimes ride on their parents' backs and remain with the adult birds for four or five months...Cygnets are generally dingy brown above and whitish below..."

Stonehenge is a prehistoric megalithic structure on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons, topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones, held in place with mortise and tenon joints, a feature unique among contemporary monuments. Inside is a ring of smaller bluestones. Inside these are free-standing trilithons, two bulkier vertical sarsens joined by one lintel. The whole monument, now ruinous, is aligned towards the sunrise on the summer solstice and sunset on the winter solstice. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the densest complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds).

Among these intellectual themes, Merton’s conceptual dialogue with Buddhism was deeply embedded in his spiritual theology. He was “one of the great theologians of the twentieth century, partly for his gift [of communicating] the Christian faith so vividly to others.” 111 As a theologian for the people, his primary concern was not “seeking after doctrinal precision so much as exploring the terrain of deep religious experience,” looking deeply into the mysteries of God and seeking ways of expressing Christian contemplative experience to his contemporaries. 112 Regarding theological dialogue, he was one of the first contemplative monks to be able to speak of the self and God in terms recognizable to Buddhists. In the mid-1950s, his emerging theological interests in contemplation needed different words, and Zen began to influence his new vision of contemplation. The more he delved into the contemplative life to attain union with God, the more he became interested in Buddhist concepts of religious experience and the Eastern worldview. Indeed, the language of Zen provided him with a way to express his own religious experience beyond the concepts of Greek philosophy and Western thought.
--Thomas Merton’s encounter with Buddhism and beyond: his interreligious dialogue, inter-monastic exchanges, and their legacy / Jaechan Anselmo Park, OSB.

The Great Conjunction
This truth is compounded by values and substitution.
Where only sufficient evidence is required to whitewash.
The murkiness of opportunity.
The opportunity to exploit.
As exploitation under the decree of God.
And all of it's manifested authority.
Of all deemed as privileged
Of those certified as intellectually right.
Justified and thankful.
Within our culture of law and order.
