No, it's not West Virginia. It's actually North Carolina... and I'm not entirely sure what road that is, just north of the lake in the image.

Although my roots are Appalachian -- West Virginian, in fact -- I've never felt a particularly strong pull to these mountains. They always seemed so docile, even boring. They're beautiful, sure, but they don't have the majesty of the Cascades, Sierra Nevada, or Rockies. They're smoothed down and rounded hills.

I'm not sure what changed. It was clearly my mindset in going that caused a different view for me. This time, I was going to stop and really see these mountains. There's a spirit and character to them, of the people and the history, that the other American mountain chains just don't share. There's a rugged individualism associated with these. And perhaps, I finally heard my ancestry calling me to enjoy what those before me had.

This view is looking west from the top of Standing Indian, roughly 5500 feet high. It's one of the peaks along the Appalachian Trail. We backpacked in and stayed the night up there. Ironically, this is the first image I choose to post, though this was our final day of the trip and the first decent sunset I had with a westerly portal from which I could view it.

And I was finally able to feel the same joy, wonder, and peace that I have so often felt in the desert and in the Cascades.

It took me long enough.

"Normal people don't understand this concept; they believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet."

"There’s nothing more humbling than seeing your best quotes in a list, and thinking they could have been written by a coma patient with a keyboard and spasms."

"Just because no one has ever gotten better from Spasmodic Dysphonia before doesn't mean I can't be the first."

– Scott Adams

If you're interested in facts and figures about the Holy Trinity Cathedral, please refer to the other panoramic photo, which is at the beginning (or other end) of this series.

Here I simply want to express my astonishment at the existence of a neo-Baroque Ethiopian Orthodox cathedral in nation's capital, Addis Ababa.

Far be it from me, an American, to say what Ethiopian Orthodox churches should and shouldn't look like.

I'm interested in it merely as a means of gaining an insight into the mindset of Ethiopia's ruling class in the 1930s and 1940s. If this building is any indication, they were looking towards Europe for inspiration (and acceptance?), and rejecting Ethiopia's traditions in the fields of architecture and decorative arts. By golly, you could find towers and spires just like that in Austria, for Pete's sake!

Only the finials atop the Cathedral's many spires can be traced directly to the traditional art and architecture of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.

It's unfortunate the Emperor and his court did not look beyond European religious architecture to European innovations in politics, economics, land tenure, governance and the law. If they had, perhaps one of Emperor Haile Selassie I's descendants might be on the throne of Ethiopia today, ruling as a constitutional monarch.

Emperor Haile Selassie I redeemed himself of his architectural sins with the subsequent construction of the Chapel of the Tablet and the New Church of St. Mary of Zion in Axum. Both buildings were richly informed by Ethiopia's past architectural traditions, particularly those of the Axumite Kingdom.

Note: If this photo looks a bit, well, processed, it's because the sun was on the wrong side of the building at the time of our visit. The front was entirely in shadow. I couldn't walk around in search of another angle because we were told the area past the church was off limits to visitors for security reasons.

If you'd like to see the painstaking lengths to which I go to bring viewers the very best of photos, take at the original, unprocessed image, below.

When I first came to Canada at the age of 17 I was put in an ESL class (English as a Second Language) and so one day I was sitting with an Iraqi classmate who was drawing a Swastika, and our teacher (who was a Jew) saw his drawing and got upset with him. I didn’t understand why she got upset, and so I told her, “Ms., he is just drawing, what is the big deal?!” I think my comment made her even more upset, because in lunch time as I was sitting in the library another English teacher who knows me came looking for me.

He talked to me for a couple of moments about why Jews hate Swastikas. I had known that Hitler was a “bad guy” and all of that, but I had no idea he targeted Jews specifically. You see, in the Middle East a lot of people deny the Holocaust so children grow up not having an idea it happened (but again, some even deny that the U.S. landed on the moon because the moon is supposed to be so sacred that nobody can land on it! Go figure!)

I actually admired Jews greatly. Just few months prior to coming to Canada I wanted to become a Jew (that was in Jordan and I was 16) because as I read the Old Testament for the first time I had my first glimpsed of what it means to walk with God and have a personal relationship with Him. Until today, almost 10 years later, I find myself understanding God’s ways better when I read the Old Testament and observe how He acted in the lives of the Jews. So I certainly didn’t hate Jews because I grew up in a “Christian” family so I was not taught as a child to hate Jews; I simply was ignorant of their struggle in WWII. To be honest, the first time I ever met a Jew was in Canada. And now I even have Jewish friends.

So a couple of years later in High School we had an assignment in English class and that’s to choose a topic from a list and read certain books about it. The Holocaust was on the list so I chose it. In the next months I read many books such as, The Diary of Anne Frank, Night (by Elie Wiesel), and Schindler's List. I cried though all the books, especially The Diary of Anne Frank. And then I watched the Movie Schindler’s List. It was a black and white movie except the red jacket of a little girl.

A couple of weeks ago as I was searching for some classical music on YouTube and knowing what an excellent violinist Itzhak Perlman is I came across this music from the movie Schindler’s List. I remembered the movie and so I decided to photograph a red flower—after the red jacket of the little girl in the Schindler’s List movie--as tribute to the survivors of the Holocaust and in remembrance of its victims.

Of course, the more I got to know our Lord Jesus Christ the more I realized how evil some men in the world can be, and how blind the rest of us can get. I not only learned to empathizes for the hurts of the Holocaust survivors but also to take time to think how it feels to be living in the shoes of present day victims such as the ones in Palestine, and the rest of the world. Because the more I got to know Lord Jesus I realized He not only loves everybody but He loves everybody the same. Yet we, Christians, show favourism toward certain groups of people while completely turning our attention away from the hurts of others.

I believe that as followers of Jesus Christ and children of the God Most High that favouritism does not fit who we are just as much as racism.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is easy to spot if we show favouritism towards certain people, and more than likely we do, because the environments we grow up in usually program our brains to hold prejudgements in regard to many aspects of life including people. Ask yourself simple questions such as: Which country has the most talents people? Which group of people are our friends and which are our enemies? Which group of people are more likely to believe in Jesus Christ? Which group of people have more potential to follow God? If your answers are anything other than “no one”, then more than likely you do show favouritism.

I know this first hand because growing up a Christian in a Muslim country meant that I was an outsider. I was considered “dirty” (unclean), and an “infidel” (in Arabic the word is: Kafir), and sometimes simply called “Christian” just because I am Christian. In Canada things are not much different. Year after year I had a teacher in High School tell me “Happy Eid” (“Eid” means “Holidays” in Arabic) whenever a Muslim holiday happened, or would ask if I was fasting in Ramadan (Ramadan is the fasting month in Islam), and I would tell him that I was a Christian. And yet, year after year he asked me the same question! On the day of September 11, 2001 a Muslim classmate from a European country called me a terrorist because I am an Iraqi! I even got asked by Christians how I could be a Christian and be from Iraq! One time I had no other answer but, “The grace of God knows no geographical boundaries.”

We as Christians too are guilty (greatly guilty) of prejudging people while we are commanding not to judge at all whether before or after knowing a person. A lot of our ideas about God and who He really is come from pastors. We hear a pastor who uses a lot of catchy phrases and we think he is a man of God without stopping for a minute to ask, “Does this teaching match the Word of God? Is this something the Holy Spirit inspired him to say?”

I remember reading under a photo on flickr by a Christian lady that said something to the like of, “God helps those who help the nation of Israel.” I wondered how can a Christian support a statement like this Biblically. The Bible says in Acts 10:34-35:

Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favouritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right.

Yet somehow we labelled in our minds who will accept the God of the Bible and fear Him and who will not. Our evangelism and where we send our money certainly reflects that mindset.

But sometimes it takes us to walk in someone else’s shoes to understand them. When I read those stories about the horrors of the Holocaust I wondered why the Jews hated the David star that they had to wear to mark them as Jews. I asked myself, “What’s bad about being a Jew? Why did it bother them to be known publicly as Jews?” I didn’t understand why it bothered them until I had memory flashes about how much it bothered me to be called “Christian” in Iraq. The reason it bothered me was not because I was ashamed of being a Christian but because the word Christian was used to belittle me, to mark me out, to scoff at me—as if I had no name. I was simply considered a “Christian” like any other Christian. I was no more an individual but more like a mass produced human product.

I think Schindler understood very well what it means to love one’s neighbour and more importantly who is one’s neighbour. As our Lord Jesus Christ explained to us in the parable below: according to God we determine who our neighbour is. Who are our neighbours?

The Parable of the Good Samaritan - Luke 10:25-37

On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

"What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"

He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind', and, 'Love your neighbour as yourself.'"

"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."

But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbour?"

In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he travelled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'

"Which of these three do you think was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"

The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."

Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."

I want to seek inspiration from the things around me, not the people that influence me.

I want to be one with everything, Remaining nameless among the trees, the breeze the water beneath my feet.

There's an addiction in all the chaos that surrounds us, we feed off of it.

we take in more from the lives of others to support our habits. That's the downfall of all human beings.

Thriving off false communications is the only way we can support our mindsets. We continuously set ourselves up in these situations, ongoing tests.

Our trials and tribulations are all for us to learn from, To break free of our prior shells.

To make sure that we never go back to that time and place ever again. But there's something beyond it that's comforting that we're always trying to attain.

Glances back are what sustain us in the present, So we keep strong, versatile and keep looking forwards infinitely.

Our minds and bodies get used to the patterns we make for them, So we never realize the new habits we make- and the old habits we break.

Never perceiving the change that everyone see's in our physical appearance, our personality, our mindset.

We are adrift in this world with so many types and origins, we absorb and attain.

We contract and contemplate.

We believe and acknowledge.

We are truly creatures of habit.

Flowers amongst the growth.

There's a certain mindset I've never had, the one that says: "I might need this one day." It's not that it's never true – it very well could be – but I can't stand being cluttered for the sake of maybe. What's common in most abandoned homes is a total fulfillment of space. However many rooms and closets, shelves and cupboards, sheds and outbuildings – they will all eventually be crowded with things. But I just can't feature all that shapeless accumulation, the need to possess more than experience. It's something I grew out of in my teens, when all my toys and collections seemed more like burdens than pleasures. I started wandering more often, first biking west across New Brunswick and Maine, then coming home to explore the wilds of Nova Scotia. I learned the value of what I was willing to carry, the weight on my bike or my back. I'll never be prepared for every eventuality, but it's a small price to be free from the suppressive tyranny of stuff.

Made for Scrapiteria theme of the week - "Music". Postcard size.

Organised by Julie Guegan and Obhi Chatterjee, the internal summer online sessions offer to European institutions colleagues conversations on topics such as navigating uncertainty, building trust, overcoming biases or emotional courage. "All of this with a view to equip ourselves and develop good strategies to cope according to research and the experience of our colleagues", as beautifully expressed by Julie. Last week's session was on What is the right mindset to thrive in challenging times?

To feed our conversations, the session hosts chose a Tedtalk by Carol Dweck on The power of believing that you can improve. Here are my visual notes, sketchnotes, where I tried to capture the essence of the points of the Tedtalk as well as those expressed by my colleagues.

Paramount distributed this big-budget production by Security Pictures in the spring of 1965. Crack in the World (CW) was partially a sci-fi movie and partially a disaster movie. Like many of the disaster-genre that would follow, the destructive power of nature itself -- rather than a giant reptile -- is the monster. Solid actors, a decent budget and ample action make CW one of the mid-60s' big A-level sci-fi movies.

Synopsis

Project Inner Earth, headed by Dr. Steven Sorensen, plans to tap into the molten core of the earth to supply unlimited power for mankind. Their problem is that they've encountered an extremely tough shell around the core which no drill can penetrate. Sorensen wants to use a nuclear missile to punch through that shell. Dr. Ted Rampion is worried that the earth's crust is too fragile, due to all the previous nuclear weapons tests. Some complex back story about Steve's wife Maggie (a much younger woman) being Ted's former girlfriend clouds the issue. Steve finding out that he has a terminal illness clouds his judgement too. Steve convinces his bosses to let him fire the nuke and does so. All seems to have gone as planned. The magma wells up and everyone is pleased. That is, until massive earthquakes start wiping out towns and a giant rip in the earth's crust appears. To make matters worse, the rip lengthens steadily. If it goes all the way around the earth, it could break in half and disintegrate. Ted and his team plant another nuclear bomb in a pacific island volcano to stop the rip. This seems to succeed, but the rip turns back towards its origin. More earthquakes and destruction. Steve is a jerk to Maggie. Ted is heroic. Steve is almost too ill to continue. The project base is wracked with tremors. Ted and Maggie escape, but Steve remains behind to record events. The crack meets its origin point. A glowing ball of magma rises into the fiery night sky. Earth now has two moons. A squirrel comes out of hiding in a hole. Ted and Maggie hug for joy. The End.

CW is an action-packed disaster flick. Lava, landslides, train wrecks and lots and lots of explosions. Any 12-year-old boy cannot help but love this film.

CW is a strong example of the Nuclear Caution branch of Cold War morals. Man, recklessly misusing nukes, sets off a chain reaction (much like modern wars have been) which threaten to destroy the world as we know it. A "counter strike" of another nuke (in the volcano) averts total annihilation, but leaves millions dead and the earth scarred forever. All this makes for quite a blatant nuclear cautionary tale.

Sci-fi, as a genre, is hardly famous for strict scientific accuracy. Aliens who look perfectly human and speak English? Big monsters who can eat whole cities, yet never have to poop? But never mind. CW's flawed scientific premise is that the earth's crust is an integral shell. The integrity of this shell is what keeps the earth from flying apart due to centrifugal force. Of course, if that were true, us unattached humans ought to be flying off into space. But never mind. Knowledge of Plate Techtonics was not new in 1965, but it had not filtered down to the popular level yet. Modern viewers will scoff at CW. The earth has always had cracks in it, and works rather well that way. But, to non-scientists in the mid 60s, with a hard-shell view of the earth, the premise was more credible and pretty frightening.

Dr. Steve Sorensen fills the customary role of misguided (mad) scientist in several ways. He wants to do some beneficial deed for mankind, but miscalculates and causes destruction. In this case, it is nature (the earth) who becomes the monster. Per the customary role, poetic justice prevails. The monster kills the offending scientist for his haste or hubris. Once he's dead, and his sin atoned for, the rightful order is restored (lovers kiss and small furry animals emerge from their burrows)

Many a sci-fi movie has been hobbled with tangled drama. CW is no different. In the midst of the impending destruction of the earth, Steve can still be a petty jerk to his young wife. Maggie can still be conflicted over her less-cerebral lust for Ted. Ted can still show off his big biceps, etc. This seems quite reminiscent of Catwomen of the Moon, where upon meeting another race of beings who are openly hostile, the main characters obsess over who loves whom. Perhaps astute movie producers knew that their young audiences were likely still mired in that high-school drama mindset, in which who liked whom and who was being a jerk to whom, etc. was more important than anything -- even the destruction of the earth.

Movie goers of the early 60s would probably have "felt" that Ted and Maggie really belonged together anyhow. Kieron Moore and Janette Scott had starred together before CW, as lighthouse-bound husband and wife biologists in Day of the Triffids ('62): another Security Pictures film. They would team up again in Security Pictures' Bikini Paradise ('67) -- a comedy outside of this study's scope.

Bottom line? CW is a well done disaster flick with ample entertainment value. There is plenty of action and the special effects respectable enough. After a steady diet of ultra-low budget movies, CW plays like an epic blockbuster.Doomsday movies abound, but few are as offbeat as this one. It tells of a runaway fault line that threatens to circle the earth and crack it in two like an eggshell. Far-fetched? Yes. Good fun? You bet. The trouble begins after scientists explode an atomic bomb underground to tap an unlimited supply of geothermal energy. But instead they trigger a cataclysm. While the crack girdles the earth, there's time for romance and frantic 11th-hour attempts to save humanity. Dana Andrews heads the cast as Dr. Stephen Sorenson, a scientist in a control center monitoring the progress of the crack opened by the explosion. He and co-stars Janette Scott (Dr. Maggie Sorenson), Kieron Moore (Dr. Ted Rampion), and Alexander Knox (Sir Charles Eggerston) all perform capably as they attempt to forestall doomsday with crack-stopping schemes. Although Crack in the World is a B-movie, it has an intelligent script that relies more on judicious pacing and suspense-building than on special effects. Consequently, it is superior to so-so doomsday flicks such as Asteroid (1997), Meteorites (1998), Armageddon (1998), and Independence Day (1996). Experts in plate tectonics -- a science that studies the strata making up the earth's outer shell -- may pooh-pooh the plot as implausible. Then again, they just might enjoy seeing Mother Nature throw a tantrum.
