Lentamente muore

chi diventa schiavo dell'abitudine,

ripetendo ogni giorno

gli stessi percorsi,

chi non cambia la marcia,

chi non rischia e cambia colore dei vestiti,

chi non parla a chi non conosce

Muore lentamente

chi evita una passione,

chi preferisce il nero sul bianco,

e i puntini sulle " i ", piuttosto che

un insieme di emozioni,

proprio quelle che fanno brillare gli occhi,

quelle che fanno di uno sbadiglio un sorriso, quelle che fanno battere il cuore

davanti all'errore e ai sentimenti.

Lentamente muore

chi non capovolge il tavolo,

chi è infelice sul lavoro,

chi non rischia la certezza per l'incertezza

per inseguire un sogno,

chi non si permette almeno una volta

nella vita di fuggire ai sensati.

Lentamente muore chi non viaggia,

chi non legge, chi non ascolta musica,

chi non trova grazia in se stesso.

Muore lentamente

chi distrugge l'amor proprio,

chi non si lascia aiutare, chi passa i giorni

a lamentarsi della propria sfortuna

o della pioggia incessante.

Lentamente muore chi abbandona un progetto prima di iniziarlo, chi non fa

domande su argomenti che non conosce,

chi non risponde quando gli chiedono

qualcosa che conosce.

Evitiamo la morte a piccole dosi,

ricordando sempre che essere vivo

richiede uno sforzo di gran lunga maggiore del semplice fatto di respirare.

Soltanto l'ardente pazienza

porterà al raggiungimento

di una splendida felicità ☀️

I showed a picture of this to the head grounds person at the local botanical gardens. She very quickly responded "passion vine". She told me that the seed pod is indeed hollow, and only contains about 3 small seeds.

This plant is quite old and I take it indoors for the winter... it's growing and looks very healthy after a good trimming!

Yay! Reflection! (well...it seams like it lol)

Passiflora incarnata.

From the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center:

This unusual flower is widely distributed in the Southeast US, especially from Florida to Texas. The plants were given the name Passionflower or Passion Vine because the floral parts were once said to represent aspects of the Christian crucifixion story, sometimes referred to as the Passion. The 10 petal-like parts represents the disciples of Jesus, excluding Peter and Judas; the 5 stamens the wounds Jesus received; the knob-like stigmas the nails; the fringe the crown of thorns. The name Maypop comes from the hollow, yellow fruits that pop loudly when crushed.

How does it know where to put the white spots to make concentric circles, and why? I assume it is to attract pollinators.

A passion flower vine had grown through the fence and produced these gorgeous flowers! Couldn't resist taking a shot as I walked by!

Blue Passion Flower (Passiflora caerulea)

For my 100 Flowers Project - 2025

My detour to see the Purple-crowned Lorikeets took me past a garden with a Passion Vine in flower. It has been some time since I have seen them.

Photographed through the fence with the birding lens.

Light on the path.

Taken at: Jardin des Lys - Sweet Parfait

How about this rather exotic bloom?

Finally, a new shot :D

A surprise guest in the back yard, almost pulled the vine down.

Seen last month, just a bud.

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

It would appear that, as the title states I have a passion for the posts at the Uphill end of Weston Supper Mare beach. Whatever the weather they help to make the beach an amazing photographic subject.

La danza e' amore, passione e tenacia

la danza e' vita

la danza e' la tua amica del cuore

la danza e' il tuo rifugio nei momenti difficili

la danza e' la gioia nei momenti felici

la danza e' in te: basta afferrarla.

Quand je fouille dans ma mémoire, je suis incapable de me souvenir de quand, pourquoi et comment est née cette admiration, cette passion dévorante pour les cascades ?

Cet amour inconditionnel pour les chutes d'eau et les torrents et là, profondément ancrée dans mes tripes, au plus profond de mon être, sans doute depuis toujours.

Là où l'oxygène se mélange à l'or bleu, les flots tourmentés emportent les minéraux dans le bruit assourdissant du bouillonnement de la vie, se cache une énigme dont je n'ai pas percé les secrets.

Parfois, il m'arrive de rester immobile et émerveillé, contemplant un spectacle accessible et naturel. C'est alors que je peux surprendre mes pensées se perdre dans les tumultes des courants.

Pourquoi ce bouleversement en moi ? Peut-être que c'est le cas de nous tous et que je ne fais pas exception à la règle ? Ou bien cela provient de mon enfance ? À la source des origines, une vie antérieure, probablement qu'une de mes âmes se trimbale un bagage émotionnel, qui sait ?

Dans de tels moments, je me souviens de ce que disait Antoine De Saint-Exupéry : “le problème avec les adultes, c'est qu'ils passent leur temps à vouloir donner un sens à tout”. Alors, je laisse mes pensées à leurs délires incessants. Les sons de la nature prennent le dessus et les voix dans ma tête finissent par se confondre dans le puissant rugissement des torrents.

Sans en connaître le sens profond, je m'autorise à apprécier les instants que la nature m'offre sans nécessairement devoir faire exploser la serrure d'un vieux coffre-fort renfermant d'autres mystères trop lourds à porter.

J'ai souvent pourchassé les sens jusqu'à l'épuisement !

J'ai quelquefois obtenu des réponses, mais les questions avaient changé !
