Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.
Richard Bach [Jonathan Livingston Seagull]
«So, can the man overcome the human nature?" father John asked. "Of course he can," he self replied, "but only for an hour, for two hours, maybe even for a whole day, but that's all - this is God's Blaze, which ordinary people call it Paradise.» Nikos Kazantzakis, "The Fratricides" 1963
«Μπορεί το λοιπόν ο άνθρωπος να ξεπεράσει τον άνθρωπο;» αναρωτιόταν ο παπα-Γιάνναρος. «Μπορεί, μπορεί», αποκρίνουνταν ο ίδιος, «μα μονάχα για μια ώρα, για δυο ώρες, μπορεί και για μια μέρα ολάκερη, μα φτάνει - αυτό θα πει Πυρκαγιά Θεού που οι απλοί άνθρωποι το λένε Παράδεισο».
Νίκος Καζαντζάκης “Οι Αδερφοφάδες”, 1963
"And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness cannot overcome it!” (John 1:5) Jesus is the True Light of the world that no darkness can overcome. Though the days are evil and dark now, His Light will overcome the darkness to the farthest corners of the earth and by His great power He will forever rid the world of the presence of evil. Let us hasten the day of His return when every wrong will be made right and every tear will be wiped away!

"D.O.M. SVB. Invoc S. M. Magdalenae" ("For God almighty and very great, under the invocation of St. Mary Magdalene")
A Perfect Circle "Magdalena"
Mer de Noms (2000)
"Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars
So pure, so rare, to witness such an earthly goddess
That I've lost my self-control, beyond compelled to throw this dollar.
Down before your
Holiest of altars
I'd sell my soul, my self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance, one kiss, one taste of you, my Magdalena
I bear witness to this place, this prayer, so long forgotten
So pure, so rare, to witness such an earthly goddess
That I'd sell my soul, my self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance, one kiss, one taste of you, my black Madonna
I'd sell my soul, my self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one taste, one taste, one taste of you, my Magdalena"

There are few places that make me deliriously happy but this is one of them.
Frankly, I have been waiting for this all year, as I had never seen the Kenilworth ponds in full bloom. But they are all I hoped for, and more!
The challenge contained in the 9 energy is what you need to overcome in order to create the destiny of your choice. Failing to learn these lessons acts as a barrier to your happiness and success. In other words, this can be your downfall, if you allow it to be. What makes the challenge so difficult to overcome is that you will tend to deny that it exists. And the more you deny it, the more it will stand between you and your marvelous potential.
9 is the number of GIVING and, as your challenge number, it can make you extremely generous --or -- very selfish indeed. Sometimes you can give of yourself without any thought of what you may receive in return. But at other times, you give because you want something. Sometimes, those involved may not be in a position to return the favor. You tend to give people the impression that you can solve their problems. Then, they become dependent on you to do so. Inevitably, you become overwhelmed by problems that were never yours to begin with. That is when resentment sets in and you abruptly withdraw your support, leaving the other person hurt and confused. You do not intend to offend others but, unfortunately, you often do.
In order to meet this challenge and turn it into a talent, you must admit that you become afraid when your own needs are not being met. You must admit that you tend to rush in to “save” people, without considering the responsibility involved in being a philanthropist. And you must admit that you NEED to feel needed. You must understand that the welfare of others does not fall solely on your shoulders and you must give to others only in a way that is comfortable and manageable for you. You must give because you truly WANT to and not because guilt or fear are telling you to over-exert yourself on someone else’s behalf.
An understanding of this challenge will enable you to find a secure balance which allows you the freedom to be and do what you really want in life while also satisfying your giving nature. This is a difficult challenge because 9 and 0 contain a little of all the other challenges. This is the challenge of an “old soul” who has lived many many lifetimes. When you accept that you are such an evolved human being, you will “remember” that you cannot love someone else if you do not love yourself first. You will remember that you cannot fulfill the needs of others if your own needs are not being fulfilled. Reconnect with these memories, and then see how this tough challenge balances itself.

The Overcomers' Testimonies | Christian Movie | "Sweetness in Adversity"
Introduction
Christian Han Lu was monitored and tracked by the CCP police officers, which led to her capture. The police officers have brutally tortured her, and they have also used rumors to try to brainwash her, used her family to try and coerce her, and other despicable methods to try to threaten her in an attempt to compel her to deny God and betray God. However, under the guidance of the word of God, Han Lu has made it through many interrogations under torture and has powerfully refuted the various rumors and fallacies of the CCP with truth. Within the bitter environment of the CCP's persecution, a beautiful and resounding testimony has been made …
Overcome with emotions, Marines mourn the loss of one of their own at a memorial service held here April 19, 2006 for Lance Cpl. Darin T. Settle. A native of Henley, Mo., Settle, 23, died April 14 from injuries sustained in a non-hostile motor vehicle accident in Al Anbar Province, Iraq. He was deployed here as a machine gunner with Transportation Support Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 15. Following remarks by Settle’s friends and coworkers, a 21-gun salute was fired to honor the fallen Marine who was serving his second tour of duty in Iraq. Settle is survived by his son, Wesley Arvin Gage Settle and his parents, James and Ruby Settle.

I just ended a horrible and inconvenient part of my life. It feels...magical...?....!
(also, these make me feel like I am 10)
Many of the excellent speeches in this morning's graduation ceremony made reference to the covid-fueled isolation so recently endured by the 2023 cohort and the unprecedented mental health challenges facing today's high school generation.
This image of an unknown student is intended as a little homage those young people that have faced, or still face, that type of turmoil and emerged shaking hands with the future....
These photos tell the story of a one-legged Red-tailed Hawk and its ability to hunt successfully despite the obvious challenges. It was sitting on a lamp post, scanning the ground below when it suddenly took off and successfully caught a vole on the ground.
I have been seeing this hawk off and on in a local park for almost two months now and always marveled at its ability to overcome the challenges thrown at it. It appears that it lost part of its right leg, could be when it was very young or it was born that way. Whatever the reason, it has adapted well to survive to adulthood. It is difficult for a bird to survive in the wild with only leg, and it is more so for birds of prey that rely on their talons to capture prey. However, this brave bird did well so far and I sincerely hope that it finds a partner in the Spring to continue with its triumphant march. Downsview Park, Toronto.
"Light Overcomes the Darkness"- We set out to shoot the Rocky Valley Lutheran Church in the ghost town of Dooley, Montana during the night. We got there early enough to set up and take a few shots as the Sun started to set. This church made it until around 1960, when a declining congregation and inability to support a pastor caused it to call it quits. It was sold to a local farmer for grain storage, but currently sits empty and decaying on the prairie.
OVERCOMING
3-bracketed shot blended in Photoshop. The red glow around the bottom half of the moon is actually the bokeh from the small bush on the left. The sun had just set less than an hour before the moon peaked from the mountain. I don't know who the guy is but thanks buddy for being still. =) Shot at the Whitney Mesa hill.
Almighty God Almighty God says, “A world of gaiety and splendor, one that is becoming more and more so. When people look upon the world, their hearts are drawn to it, and many are unable to extricate themselves from it; great numbers will be beguiled by those who engage in trickery and sorcery. If you do not strive for progress, and are without ideals, you will be swept away by this sinful wave
Almighty God’s words expose the evil of this hedonistic world
I am presently 27 years old, and I originally worked as staff in a sales department. In 2013, I had the good fortunate to accept Almighty God’s work in the last days, and afterward I worked while I lived my church life. My daily job was to give customers tea, pour water, deliver snacks, and so on, and then clean after the customers left. One could say I had a lowest-level and most inconspicuous job in the sales department, and it was a job that was essentially unsupervised and unimportant. Although I did unremarkable work every day and my salary wasn’t high, I felt very fulfilled, because I didn’t have to constantly strive to please and kiss up to the department leaders to improve my performance and interact with others wearing a mask of falseness every day. In my spare time, I could also participate in church life and read God’s words and fellowship on my brothers and sisters. I felt relaxed and free, safe and secure. But that life of calm didn’t last, because before long trouble came looking for me….
