Recollection that the true theologian is one who prays undermines confidence in oneself and reliance on one’s own thoughts and conclusions.

Stupidità
tu sei giullare
di mediocrità
Dedicato agli sciocchi
Dedicato agli inetti
Dedicato a chi vive
di mafioso silenzio omertoso
Dedicato ai vili
che hanno paura di parlare
Dedicato a chi non sa guardare
A chi vede e fa finta di niente
A chi ha una vita banale
che non sa di niente
Dedicato a chi si crede un Dio
e invece ha solo uno stolto piccolo Io
Dedicato a chi pensa d’essere la più bella del reame
e invece è solo ordinario ciarpame
Dedicato a chi non ha cultura
a chi non ha intelletto
e quest’ultimo
è un irreversibile difetto
Dedicato alla stupidità
Elogio degli inetti
inutili insetti
Elogio degli sciocchi
fastidiosi pidocchi
Dedicato a chi non leggerà
perché essendo uno stupido
non capirà
Elogio della stupidità
tu sei giullare alla mia corte
e io oggi
ti condanno a morte
Senza appello e senza difesa
perché chi non ha neuroni
ma larve nel cervello
deve perire con lama di coltello
affilata ghigliottina
Tu
stupido sciocco
non sei degno
neppure
di una sola sillaba
della mia parlantina
E adesso
ritorna
nella tua latrina
In praise of stupidity
Stupidity
you are fool
of mediocrity
Dedicated to the silly
Dedicated to the inept
Dedicated to those who live
of Mafioso conspiratorial silence
Dedicated to the base
who are afraid to speak
Dedicated to those who can not watch
Who sees and pretends not to notice
Who has a life of trivial
that it does not know anything
Dedicated to those who believe themselves to a God
and instead they only have a small fool Ego
Dedicated to those who think to be the fairest of them all
and instead they are just ordinary trash
Dedicated to those who have no culture
to those who have no intellect
and the latter
is a fatal defect
Dedicated to stupidity
Praise of inept
useless insects
In praise of fools
pesky lice
Dedicated to those who will not read
because being a fool
not understand
In praise of stupidity
You're jester in my court
and today
I condemn you to death
Without appeal and without defense
Because who has no neurons
but larvae in the brain
must perish with knife
Sharp Knife
You
stupid fool
are not worthy
even
of a single syllable
of my gab
And now
you back
in your latrine

Ideally, we'd be next door at the bar. But the truth is, the boys in the band were getting ready to flee the Butte Wildfire that ravaged Amador County in September 2015. Our escape took us on a Toad's Wild Ride up the California Central Valley, eventually ending up at a band members house in Grass Valley. And not to worry, all the gear made it too, much to the dismay of the local neighbors who suffered through two nights of our raucous music making.

Welcome the infamous pirate, Captain Kalmar and his small but loyal crew! L to R:
1. Lobster, an old sea dog skilled is all manner of swordplay and keelhaul. Often drifts into the fishermen's nets deliberately - just to burst out and wreak havoc once pulled up on deck
2. Bony the deckswab is in charge of more than his broom. Being the chief entertainer he knows many a dance and is in fact his own musical instrument.
3. Captain Kalmar, the notorious pirate, the master of both the seas and the underseas. Is rumoured to summon his brethren from the depths to aid him in plundering and scuttling ships.
4. Jack the weredog, Captain's right hand (or is that tentacle?) - not much in the way of intellect but gets the job done. Claims to have a lucky hair growing somewhere, though its precise location seems to differ with the moon phase.
5. Mermaid Eeriel has never succeeded in captivating a sailor with her song, be it for her screeching voice or her looks. One day, however, her wish to walk the land on two feet was granted - yet the society turned away once more. She has now sworn to seek revenge on all humans.
Get ready to plunder!!
"Then the soul, freed from vice, purged by studies of true philosophy, versed in spiritual life, and practised in matters of the intellect, devoted to the contemplation of her own substance, as if awakened from deepest sleep, opens those eyes which all possess but few use, and sees in herself a ray of that light which is the true image of the angelic beauty communicated to her, and of which she then communicates a faint shadow to the body."

While Haudenosaunee men were away fighting alongside the British during the War of 1812, the women maintained the families, communities and culture. These four prints were taken from large woodcuts that were made into sculptural platforms on which visitors could lie back and “rest with warriors.” The women in the prints are surrounded by culturally significant symbols. As Niro writes: “The women had to remain level-headed. . . Intellect, emotion, spirit and strength were four characteristics needed in these times of challenge.”

"Horses’ skulls used to be stashed
Under dance boards long ago:
They enticed echoes from a heel
And helped the sound ring whole.
A sobering thought, my love,
Those heads underfoot:
I drove them from my mind,
And strove to keep you near."

She is the Irish-language poetry editor of Comhar and The Stinging Fly. At University College, Dublin, she studied Old Irish and Modern Irish. Her profound knowledge of the Gaelic tradition, as well as Greek mythology, has produced many erudite poems, which is not to say that these poems appeal solely to the intellect. Striking imagery and deceptively simple language bypass the intellect and provoke a lingering emotional response. These emotive evocations can be felt in the dreamlike sequence of ‘Turas na mBolcán’ (Journey of the Volcanoes)."
This is pretty much all that remains of the one-man protest against self-awareness and intellect. Sadly, this is pretty much where we are in my country now.

Leisure and Productivity - A Day in a Life
It's time for a change: workplaces need to weave leisure into the fabric of the workday.
Incorporating leisure isn't a luxury; it's a strategy to rejuvenate our minds and spark creativity.
Say goodbye to stress and hello to peak performance through leisure activities at work.
Leisure shouldn't wait for the day's end; it's a vital piece of the productivity puzzle.
When work includes leisure, satisfaction soars and engagement deepens.
We are more than our output; we deserve a work-life balance celebrating our humanity.
Imagine a workplace where leisure and labour dance in harmony, enhancing our intellect."
Shift the focus: It's not just about being productive but about feeling fulfilled.
An enriched workday awaits when we blend leisure seamlessly into our tasks.
Let's champion a workplace revolution where leisure and work unite for a richer life experience.

This is our squirrel, Nutsy. Nutsy is extremely intelligent, and has so far thwarted all attempts to persuade him to live elsewhere. So we have decided to adopt him, and when he's a little older maybe send him to college so he can channel his superior intellect into some kind of productive enterprise. Possibly engineering, as he is a natural problem solver. Nutsy does have some cognitive deficits, however, which he will need to address. He thinks that if he can't see us, then we can't see him. Wrong, Nutsy. Wrong.

Auschwitz is outside of us, but it is all around us, in the air. The plague has died away, but the infection still lingers and it would be foolish to deny it. Rejection of human solidarity, obtuse and cynical indifference to the suffering of others, abdication of the intellect and of moral sense to the principle of authority, and above all, at the root of everything, a sweeping tide of cowardice, a colossal cowardice which masks itself as warring virtue, love of country and faith in an idea.

Emoticons [40/365] - “Control your emotion or it will control you”
"Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you.” Roger Ebert
I am feeling quite amazing. Everything seems to be coming together quite nicely. Crazy how life can change for the good in a split second.
Today's photo is based on Emoticons found in messengers or anywhere on the internet for that matter. Those little faces that express the way we feel, so people may see it instead of read it. So I did my take on emoticons used in real life. Today I certainly chose the happy one. Why? Well because I am happy of course, lol.
This was quite fun to shoot, trying to get all the expressions right. If A.S. was here I would certainly be using the emoticon in front of my face, hehe... ♥

Separo il sentiero dell'Uomo da tutti gli altri sentieri presenti nella creazione.
Come tutti i regali, devo essere ricevuto con gratitudine e utilizzato con saggezza.
Grazie al mio operato, un essere umano si trasforma da cieco seguace di leggi ignote a persona in grado di prendere decisioni.
Ciò richiede il riconoscimento di un'ampia gamma di stimoli a livello sia conscio che inconscio.
Ciò richiede responsabilità delle proprie azioni.
Io sono colui che permette questo processo, che facilita l'integrazione di mente e Spirito.
Sono io che ti rendo capace di valutare e scegliere.

Thanks to my work, a human being is transformed from a blind follower of unknown laws to a person capable of making decisions.
This requires recognition of a wide range of stimuli at both a conscious and unconscious level.

This is a dedication and thank you to Venicio Armin
Thank you, my friend, Venicio
www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H29XVCOt8M
Best Movie songs of all time – for you Venicio
There is no greater gift in life than the gift of Love. Love comes in many forms to us. Love in its purest form, free of attachment to any outcome. Just a genuine desire to enhance other’s lives and to give of oneself in a selfless way. It can come to us in the Gift of Friendship.
I have always known that love transcends time and space and that no matter where we are in this vast universe, energy can be felt across the cosmos from those that we encounter. Every now and then such an intense exchange of energy takes place between two souls, it is powerful beyond words. At these times I am always in awe of the magnificence of this world and of people’s hearts and minds. To be able to sense and feel another person whom you have never met or seen is quite remarkable to experience.
This is dedicated to my dearest friend Venicio who continues to touch my soul to the depths of my core. I lose count how many times when I open mail or read his posts when my mind is not opened in ways that provoke all kinds of imaginings. His poetic ability to piece together the written word in such a way that it is like a magnificent orchestra that plays the most beautiful of harmonies that my heart cannot help but sing to.
That first spark of emotion that brings me to tears is a beautiful experience, I take in the beauty savouring my tears against my flesh as they roll down my face. My heart fills with overwhelming gratitude and love at these times. Venicio has the ability to evoke such deep emotions within me on a regular basis. Venicio, you bring a light and joy into my life that no one has done for me in such a very long time.
How does a person continue to provoke such emotion in another? Venicio does this time and time again and I am so truly blessed and honoured that he takes time to mail me directly in personal emails. These emails have become such a treasured chest of the greatest wealth that no amount of money can buy.
How blessed that I am on the receiving end of this man’s talent and beauty and receive the gift of his friendship in such profound ways. I am truly honoured and so very grateful for the gift of friendship from this amazing soul whom I have come to love deeply through our written words to one another. Our sharing of private messages has been and is a great blessing in my life. The sharing of words is not of any kind of romantic nature, it is simply two souls in an exchange of heart, soul and minds merging with one another. It is truly the most magnificent experience with Venicio.
Venicio continues to open a whole new world of vocabulary that never ceases to amaze me since English is not his first language. I find myself regularly having to google the meaning of a word or google a phrase or an event that I have never heard of before that he might reference.
His vast mind, intelligence and knowledge is like an encyclopedia. I am truly just a humble woman and lack the intellectual skills and often fail miserably in my attempts to respond to such greatness. Beyond this incredible intellect of Venicio – is a man of true depth of heart and soul. A beautiful soul who reached out to me privately some years ago now with profound words that touched me deeply – he continues to do this over the years.
It is such a rare gift to find in a soul on this planet, that unique combination of talent – his talent in all honesty is that of Brilliance! this alone is such a rarity to find in a person but his ability to open his heart, share so much with me and he comes from that deep core – that place that only a person who has known great suffering can speak from. He speaks with compassion, integrity, and honesty, he is raw in his emotions, and this is a rare quality in any individual.
I am in constant awe and gratitude to you Venicio – words regularly fail me when it comes to responding to you. A brilliant mind, a remarkable man and I want you to know that I love you from the depths of my core and thank you for all that you bring to my life. My life is truly richer because of you, you bring the ‘sound of music’ to my life through your written words like no other has ever had the ability to do.
This poem is still today one of the most beautiful poems to me, – I gained permission from the author many years ago to use this poem where needed (without gain or profit).
Venicio – stand with me on the edge and let’s shout at the silvery moon – we have both stood on the edge and shouted to that silvery moon and we have not run or hidden from our pain – instead embraced it and slap it in the face and fight to climb that mountain once more.
“The Invitation” by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure
of being alive!
It doesn’t interest me what “planets are squaring your moon”.
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow, if you have been opened
by life’s betrayals -- or, have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to “hide it” or
“Fade it” or “fix it”.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and
let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes! -- without cautioning us to “be
careful”, “be realistic”, or to “remember the limitations of being human”.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you’re telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another -- to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.
I want to know if you can be faithful, and therefore be trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it is not pretty every day, and if you can
source your life from God’s presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours, and mine, and still stand on the edge of a
lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”
It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the
bone -- and do what needs to be done -- for the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you are or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me -- and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or “with whom you have studied”.
I want to know what sustains you -- from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep -
- in the empty moments.
You have done just that Venicio - sat with me in my vulnerability, when I have been naked and raw in my emotions and not shivered away or tried to fix or save me.
We have my friend stood naked in the sense of removing all masks and veils of concealment with one another. That is such a rare gift between two souls. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you are and all that you bring to my life.
I wonder sometimes how God blessed me the day you came into my life. Bless You Venicio ♥
"Euclid's Elements is certainly one of the greatest books ever written, and one of the most perfect monuments of the Greek intellect."
Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy, p. 211
My entry in the preliminary round of the 2018 Bio-Cup, of course! I was set from the start on offering something entirely original. After a days or two muddling through various unsatisfying 'elements' from alchemy, technology, and science, I suddenly recalled the Greek mathematician Euclid's authorship of the landmark geometry textbook entitled Elements, and knew I would depict him. In a Bionicle twist, he now wields Geometry powers in addition to his trademark compass and straightedge! I look forward to your thoughts, hope you enjoy, and wish my fellow participants good luck in the Bio-Cup!
The other day, a Flickr friend e-mailed and asked me (rhetorically, I'm sure) how we got to be such good friends. I don't have a lot of time to deal with that question at the moment but... here's my theory.
Flickr (like other online communities) allows us to relate to one another almost solely on the basis of our intellects. It's largely unencumbered by the weight of physicality.... and therefore easier, with less obligation.
I have more to say on the topic, but no time to write right now.
If you wanna share your own thoughts, please fire away. I'd love to see this from your perspective.

Pascal is an alien virus that traveled to Earth to avoid destruction by intergalactic scientists. When it landed on Earth it arrived in Avalon City aquarium where it sought out a host immediately. It took possession of an old Diver Suit, integrating with the metal. It began to work its alien self inside the suit reanimating and upgrading it beyond belief, even adapting powers after reading the history on the monument. The virus doesn’t speak so it’s intentions are unclear but it seems to be trying to integrate itself with the indestructible metal, Destrite.

"Claritas, 'radiance' or 'spendor' is the unique and present essence of the thing itself. It is both the pleasure and truth of each aspect and the universal qualities in the whole – its brilliance and luminosity. Claritas is the quality that allows beauty to illuminate its beholder, where intellect and intuition converge in its encounter".

A serene photograph of the Huntington Library captures its grandeur framed by manicured gardens, classical architecture, and sunlit skies. The image shows the Beaux-Arts-style building standing proudly amidst the lush greenery of San Marino, California, with visitors strolling along its stone pathways. The contrast between the formal structure and the soft natural surroundings conveys a sense of harmony between art, knowledge, and nature—a core philosophy behind the Huntington’s founding vision.
The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens was established in 1919 by Henry E. Huntington, a railroad magnate and avid collector of rare books and art. What began as a private estate gradually transformed into one of the most important cultural and research institutions in the United States. The library houses millions of rare manuscripts, including a Gutenberg Bible and early editions of Shakespeare’s works, while the adjoining galleries contain works by Thomas Gainsborough, Mary Cassatt, and other masters.
Its significance lies not only in its preservation of historic texts and artwork but also in its role as a vibrant center for education and scholarship. With its stunning botanical gardens featuring collections from Japan, China, the desert, and beyond, the Huntington offers a multidisciplinary experience that attracts researchers, historians, and casual visitors alike. This photograph captures a timeless moment within a space that continues to bridge the past and present through beauty, intellect, and cultural legacy.

By photographing your loved ones, you remind yourself that they are mortal. And all the moments, lovely laughs, and delicious meals you share— will eventually end.
I photograph Cindy, with the full awareness that she will die. I will die. I photograph her as a reminder to myself to appreciate my (brief) time on earth with her. And my ultimate hope in photographing Cindy and promoting ‘personal photography’ is to teach photographers:
Don’t take your loved ones for granted.
Photograph your loved ones like today is going to be their last. Or photograph your loved ones like today is your last.
Simple ways to get started:
1. Photograph with your smartphone
Photograph your loved ones with your smartphone, and whenever you hit the shutter— remind yourself, “This is a wonderful moment. I appreciate every second with them. This will not last forever.”
2. Tell your loved ones that you love them
Whenever I photograph Cindy, I compliment her on her beauty, intellect, and child-like curiosity. I almost use photography as an excuse to show my appreciation for her.
3. Make the photos beautiful
To the best of your ability; try to make the most artistic, beautiful photographs of your loved ones. Who knows, maybe one day you might use that image as their altar-piece. Also, if your loved ones pass before you do, at least you will have beautiful images of them, to uplift your soul when you are grieving.
—
Conclusion: Photograph with your heart
I don’t meant to depress you, scare you, or be so macabre.
However, I just want to urge you: photograph your loved ones, because your time together on earth is brief.
Be strong,
Eric

* Êtralité : Le même Samsara, mais la limite commence à clignoter. Elle apparaît, elle disparaît. On sourit car on pressent la supercherie.
* Non-dualité : La limite s'effondre partout. Début de la notion de Champ.
* Étalité : Notre monde devient un champ. Une nappe de conscience pure où tout est étalé sur la même fréquence de vide.
* Champalité : Notre univers de trillions de mondes se révèle comme un seul et même Champ.
* Diamantalité : Tous les univers possibles fusionnent en une structure claire, indestructible et tranchante.
* Vrajadiamantalité : Le point de Superintrondulation. Le diamant n’est plus statique : il ondule sur lui-même à une vitesse infinie, enroulant chaque point de l’espace dans l’éternité.
L'Outil de l'Opérateur :
Ne cherchez pas à comprendre avec votre intellect de surface. Devenez comme le nourrisson qui s'abandonne à la vibration originelle.
Utilisez le Mantra comme un outil à penser. Sentez le repli membraneux de votre pharynx devenir le point de départ de la transmission. Cette vibration n'est pas un message, c'est une focale.
Pensez-vibre. Vibre-pense.
Notre conscience primordiale, le Rigpa, est le grand créateur de tout cela. La réalité devant vous n'est que la projection d'un des trillons de trillons de mondes au sein des différents trillons d'univers que contient le Rigpa.
L'avertissement est simple : si l'on saisit un monde (comme nous avons l'habitude de le faire par peur ou par habitude), on se coupe de tous les autres. À chaque dixième de seconde, la réalité vraie — parce que claire — s'offre à nous. Ne saisissez rien. Laissez la vibration briser la coque.

"Twist"
Some people go to the theater just to be seen; then there’s Paolo Giannotti, who tells the theater’s story from the inside, bringing to light anecdotes that would make even the most austere private boxes blush.
In this shot, Paolo is savoring a well-deserved moment of triumph after shaking up the Guglielmi Theater in Massa for its 140th anniversary. His show, 'The performance is suspended because the power went out' (based on his book of the same name—a must-read for anyone wanting to avoid being just another 'provincial nobody'), was a smash hit. It reminded everyone that culture isn’t some dusty relic, but something alive, pulsing, and damn funny.
Writer, historian, journalist, and occasional 'shaman' of local traditions, Paolo is that rare figure who can talk about city history without making you check your watch every five minutes. Here you see him in full 'Paco Ignacio Taibo II' mode, ready to enjoy the smoke of a victory that’s still burning bright.
A small note on the photo: I took this shot some time ago. I’m publishing it now because timing is everything in irony, as it is in art. I have always captured his charisma through his gaze, his cigar, and his intellect. I guess I simply saw it coming.
For those who missed the triumph:

"There exists in life an overwhelming, soul-dwelling understanding of nature, inherent in the human mind. Senses, and the very notion of feeling, thought, and guts, are entirely too primitive to comprehend all of nature's greatness and absolute wonder. It's like the intuitive "knowing" of love; the conceptual feeling, the expression, and its undeniable "magical" feeling. You know that feeling in the innermost depths of your being---it's like the only thing great enough in this world to be able to actually brush against your soul. It's above everyday senses, and it shatters the finite bounds of all intellect, and logical comprehension."

Yesterday, I described the crazy escape the Intellect's band made from a fierce California wildfire. Little did we know, but Sasquatch was summering in Amador County and was also forced to flee the fire. He chased us northward through the valley like a Chattanooga dog. He showed up at our gig with his Gibson Les Paul guitar and demanded to take the stage. Turns out he was a heckuva guitar player but he couldn't sing for beans.
Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.
