Dark is the light,
The man you fight,
With all your prayers, incantations,
Running away, a trivial day,
Of judgment and deliverance,
To whom was sold, this bounty soul,
A gentile or a priest ?
Who victored over, the Seljuks,
When the holy land was taken
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
Was it the riches, of the land,
Powers of bright darkness,
That lead the noble, to the East,
To fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We must call upon our bright darkness,
Beliefs, they're the bullets of the wicked,
One was written on the sword,
For you must enter a room to destroy it, destroy it, destroy it
No International security,
No Call of the righteous man,
Needs a reason to kill a man,
History teaches us so,
The reason he must attain,
Must be approved by his God,
His child, partisan brother of war,
Of war, we don't speak anymore,
Of war, we don't speak anymore,
Of war, we don't speak anymore,
Of war, we don't speak anymore,
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens

The Steve Knight jazz trio is back to giving their free concerts on the lawn of Senn High School for the season, and I couldn't be happier. If you like the mellow guitar tones of Wes Montgomery and Kenny Burrell, I'll bet you'd like Knight.

A Bergdorf Goodman window display, reworked from the Inspired Gifts series in a minimalist way with tinges of The Persistence of Memory by artist Salvador Dalí.
The Persistence of Dream: Echo of a Body in Suspension
A light meanders over the languid body, sliding like an electric whisper, a wave caressing space without ever stopping. It skims the skin, brushes against it, marking it with a spectral shiver, as if the visible hesitated to settle, as if the moment refused to be captured.
The scene is bathed in a soft, almost liquid glow, where the body seems to float on the border between wakefulness and dream. A spectral gleam dances, twisting and shifting, an elusive presence oscillating between matter and ether. Is it an inner force seeking expression? A thought materializing in the mist of reality?
The figure’s gaze, gentle yet questioning, seems to embrace this shifting light like a silent dialogue. Perhaps it is a thread connecting them to another reality, a path toward immaterial escape. The flesh is not restrained, but it allows itself to be traversed by the intangible, by this luminous trace undulating like an untamed memory.
A work that speaks of dissolution and connection, of a fluid and uncertain presence, of a world slipping away between shadows and clarity. A wave of light trying to write an ephemeral truth upon the skin of silence.
I ended up at the Golden Ponds Park and Recreation area where I shot the grasses and wondered what to shoot then found this sample of the persistence of nature. Not of memory; Dali was a genius on a level beyond most. I've looked that painting over and over that is incredible and less than the size of a letter. I've also seen the Art in Jewels collection. Fantastic if you ever have a chance.
This view is next to pond #1. It speaks to the persistence of nature not Monsanto. If only the Chinese elm could be eradicated here; that takes persistence of gardener.
In early May the recent snows have increased our snowpack and left us with a greater than !00% sequestered moisture. We have left enough moisture to wring out over the midwest tornado areas. I notice the rightie governor is now talking leftie to FEMA and the rest of the administration. Seems to be weak on stand alone state's rights today. I thought all of them had private insurance and elementary school shelters. Wrong again! Rick Perry still wants to walk with their own Texas money even though he is mute currently. I remember Texas is a net user of federal money that is well over 100% of what they contribute. Perhaps Texas will get theirs soon? Any particular reason to Unite the States in a union for shared protection and benefit? I don't suppose this storm has something to do with that 400 ppm CO2 in the world's atmosphere? That's been debunked by the paid fossil fuel scientists. grin. Back to the future? Hell no, back to the Jurassic! Triassic, anyone!

The name "Century Plant" is applied to several agaves. This is Agave utahensis ssp. kaibabensis. It appears to have been hit by a freeze as it was blooming, but since it puts all of its life into this one bloom, it has persisted.

Persistence and patience was a rewarding lesson for me. Kept returning to a favorite location for a few days until the lighting was ideal...
St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church is in Union Hill, an unincorporated town west of New Prague, Minnesota. The area began to be settled in 1852 by a group of Germans from the Rhenish Provinces between Bonn and Trier in the west of Germany. They were categorized as Prussian immigrants because at that time, Prussia controlled the area. Many of the settlers were related and/or had previously known each other.
It took years of struggle for the Union Hill settlers to be allowed to build their own church. In 1860, they built a log church but were not allowed to consecrate it because it was too close to existing churches. A second church was built and used for about a year when suddenly it was forced to close because of its small size and its proximity to the church at Heidelberg.
By 1867 there were 44 families settled in Union Hill, and they were finally granted permission to build their own church. The parish was placed in the hands of the Franciscan Fathers in 1875, and under the leadership of Francisan Father Fabian Rechtiene, a new Gothic-style brick church was completed in 1883. That is the church that still stands today.
There is a short history of the church and Union Hill that was written in 1967 for their 100 year anniversary. It was called "The Early Settlers of St. John's Parish at Union Hill in 1867" (click the title to go there).
You can also find further info in a 2015 article called "150 years is reason to celebrate in Union Hill" on TheCatholicSpirit.com website.

The Persistence of Memory - Salvador Dalí 1931
The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA
11 West 53 Street - New York, NY 10019-5497
Dalí Universe is a permanent exhibition of works by the Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí which is housed in a 3,000 square metre (32,000 square feet) suite of galleries at County Hall. Opened in 2000, it displays over 500 works, including sculptures dating from 1935-1984, drawings, lithographs, gold and glass objects and a Dalí-inspired furniture collection, but no major paintings. The exhibition was originally curated by Beniamino Levi, who worked with Dalí on the development of his sculptures. Technically Dalí Universe is an exhibit at the County Hall Gallery, which also stages other art exhibitions, but it is much better known under its own name.
This sculpture of Dalí's most famous painting, "Persistence of Memory" (1931), stands outside County Hall along the bank of the River Thames. The painting has also been popularly known as Soft Watches, Droopy Watches, or Melting Clocks. It is currently displayed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, where it has been since 1934.

Church of St Sylvester, Chivelstone Devon is now the religious centre of this coastal parish known as Prawle point which is situated at the most southerly point in Devon and also incluldes the villages of South Allington, Ford, Lannacombe & East Prawle.
Mentioned as Cheveletone in the 1086 Domesday Survey, the Lord of the Manor was then Juhel de Totnes who was granted many manors in the south-west by William the Conqueror and who founded Totnes Priory in c.1087 but who , after the king's death , was expelled by his successor.
There was a chapelry here by the end of the 13c, attached to the parish of Stokenham held by Totnes Priory.
The church now consists of chancel, nave, north and south aisles, south porch, embattled three stage west tower with 5-sided stair turret on the south side , holding 5 bells, and is mainly Perpendicular in style.
The present building was constructed in the early 15c , though the chancel may be 14c, and enlarged with the rebuilding of the aisled nave, tower & porch in mid-16c.
It is the only one in Devon dedicated to Pope Sylvester who died in 325AD
Inside is a wonderful early 15c rood screen with painted saints www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/5d01WbJ7P4 & a
later c1480 fine matching painted medieval pulpit hollowed out of the trunk of a large oak tree www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/aCN1aNhKqJ
The registers date from 1630.
It was restored in 1897 but by the beginning of this century was badly in need of further extensive restoration.
The PCC also hoped to create a space that could be used more widely by the community as well as bringing in revenue to help make it more sustainable in the future - this in addition to providing better facilities for the loyal congregation.
Having been unsuccessful with previous grants the Church worked hard with the active support of Le Page Architects, to win a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The final interview for the grant on zoom released £400,000 during the 2020 lockdown, this supplemented with other fundraising for the match funding. There is an explanatory video that explains the project here: eastprawlehistorysociety.co.uk/church-repair-project
Work was done during 2021. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0xs1N7-DnU
There have been interesting complications around structural and conservation repair, entailing 8m deep low impact piles to support the south porch, as well as repair to a reed reinforced plaster ceiling. Extensive repointing, upgrade of rainwater goods, other repairs to lead roof, and stonework repair to decayed windows has formed the majority of the external work.
Interior works are wide ranging, involving the installation of an accessible lavatory unusually with a shower. This is so that the Church may be used for overnight accommodation for walkers and tourists champing.co.uk. Grant of consent to allow for a shower was extremely hard won but eventually allowed. A bespoke hideaway kitchen offers simple catering for a variety of events.
Conservation work to the medieval pulpit was one of the highlights of the project and remains of late 17c / early 18c wall paintings have been found under layers of whitewash,
In the graveyard are numerous graves dating from 1712 , many to those who lost their lives in ships wrecked throughout the centuries,
In his book “Kingsbridge and its Surroundings” (1874) S P Fox wrote bout the wreck of the Gossamer:“A China tea clipper ship, of 735 tons register, was wrecked in December, 1868 and 13 lives were lost. There was a strong South-wrest breeze, and a heavy sea… The Captain was seen to lash his bride of just two weeks to a spar in the hope that she would stay afloat. For a time the two of them clung to the storm tossed bit of wood until the sea took them in its cold embrace…”
