在東京的時候，花季已經到了尾聲，
散步在淺草，抬頭看見雨中盛開的殘櫻，
我想起那讓我們都驚艷的畫面。
是啊，世上有許多風景，是讓人心之嚮往的，
甚至可以在短暫片刻，忘記還有許多不美好存在，
我們也曾經以為，可以一起看見這般風景。
已經決定讓這執念凋零，
但為什麼還是會在一個人旅行時想起呢？
殘念的執念，就如同這雨中的殘櫻一般，
堅守著最後盛開的，些微可能。
This piece is the result of expiramenting with materials and textures during the casting process. The pendant is cast with the lost wax method using sterling silver and features antique timepiece gears in mesh that are viewed through a rectangular "window" that is slightly offset from center.
As a result of the unique casting method that I used incorporating steel and brass cogs, wax and silver, the piece has a distinctly detailed texture that looks very old and worn. There is a strange look of "crumbling" like that of an old building that gives this item great character.
On the back, I stamped my gothic "D" that pierced through the silver to reveal the steel gear that is sandwiched within the silver. This steel cog has been blackened during the casting process and contrasts nicely with the rest of the pendant. The color variations in the silver is most likely the brass from the gears that melted and mixed with the molten silver rather non-homogenously.
This hen has just landed, thinking it had ditched the drake that was harassing her. No such luck.

Set on board a deep space scientific vessel called The Persistence in the year 2521, the ship arrives at the site of a collapsing star 17,000 light years from earth. While conducting a major experiment, a horrific incident occurs mutating many of the crew. As The Persistence is pulled into the gravity of the collapsing star, the ship’s computer, ‘IRIS’ wakes remaining members of the crew from cryogenic sleep – one at a time. Can you stay alive long enough to get to the engine room and save The Persistence?

It's hard not to look at these little rose buds hanging on in the middle of winter and not admire their persistence. So that's my word for the day. Used Kim's Phoebe and Plastersquared textures.
Native, warm-season, perennial, Loosely tufted, erect grass; to 60 cm tall and with a densely hairy swollen base. Leaves are flat, 3-6 mm wide and often sprinkled with hairs with warty bases. Flowerheads vary from digitate to a primary axis of racemes. Branches are 4-10 in number, rigid, and widely spreading at maturity; they mostly lack spikelets near their base and lower branches are whorled. Spikelets are paired, 3.75-5 mm long, 2-flowered and hairy. Flowers from late spring to autumn. Usually found in woodlands on better soils and often in areas prone to periodic flooding (e.g. next to waterways and roadsides). Also occurs on sandy and duplex soils, but is uncommon on heavy clays. It has low frost tolerance, but high drought tolerance. Native biodiversity. When abundant it is considered to be useful for stock as it grows rapidly after summer rains, is palatable and has high feed value prior to flowering, but productivity is low to moderate. Strategic spelling from grazing improves production and persistence.

Persistence, a nine-paneled work of stained glass that marks the entrance to the meditation room of Hopkins' Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Building. With Persistence, Martha Hanson created the effect of an eternally crashing ocean wave. Her goal: to convey feelings of endurance and tenacity -- something I feel all cancer patients need to survive. Martha Hanson is a friend who resides in and has her studio in Edgewood, Maryland [April 2002]
Dali The well-known Surrealist piece introduced the image of the soft melting pocket watch. It epitomizes Dalí's theory of 'softness' and 'hardness', which was central to his thinking at the time. Many also consider that the melting watches were there to symbolize the irrelevance of time.
Although fundamentally part of Dalí's Freudian phase, the imagery precedes by 14 years his transition to his scientific phase, which occurred after the dropping of the atomic bomb in 1945.
It is possible to recognize a human figure in the middle of the composition, in the strange "monster" that Dalí used in several period pieces to represent himself – the abstract form becoming something of a self portrait, reappearing frequently in his work. The orange clock at the bottom left of the painting is covered in ants. Dali often used ants in his paintings as a symbol for death, as well as a symbol of female genitalia.
The figure in the middle of the picture is symbolized as a "fading" creature, as which, when you often dream you cannot pin-point the exact form and composition of a creature. The iconography of this famous painting is that of a dream that Dalí had experienced. The clocks symbolize the passing of time that one experiences in a dream state.

1306 Government Street, Victoria, BC
Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place
The Palace Cigar Store is a two-storey, brick commercial building located on the west side of Government Street within Victoria’s Old Town. The building features a prominent arcade of three round-headed windows, each springing from a pair of columns, across the upper storey. The ground floor has a retail storefront with a central recessed entrance.
Heritage Value
The Palace Cigar Store is symbolic of the development of Victoria’s Old Town during the city’s early twentieth century economic renewal. At the time, there was increasing demand for retail space downtown, which resulted in construction activity along Government Street as the main shopping district. This building was an investment property for Heinrich Siebenbaum (1859-1942) who was born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and arrived in Canada in 1893. By 1899, he was the operator of the Palace Saloon in the adjacent Adelphi Building at the corner of Government and Yates Streets. 1306 Government Street was opened as the Palace Cigar Store, with offices above. Siebenbaum’s business was destroyed in 1915 in local attacks on German commercial properties after the sinking of the Lusitania in World War One.
The Palace Cigar Store is additionally significant as an example of the transition from the Late Victorian era to the Edwardian era at a time when architectural styles, as well as building technologies, were changing. It typifies the late persistence of the Romanesque Revival style, as shown in the round-arched window openings on the upper floor. The ground floor was originally a single arched opening, further emphasizing a Romanesque character, but was later modernized to a rectangular storefront in line with changing commercial tastes.
Source: City of Victoria Planning Department
Character-Defining Elements
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Palace Cigar Store include its:
- location on Government Street, part of a grouping of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century historic masonry buildings in Victoria's Old Town
- continuous commercial use
- siting on the front and side property lines, with no setback
- commercial form, scale and massing, as expressed by its two-storey height, symmetrical rectangular plan and flat roof
- masonry construction, including pressed brick façade, common brick side and rear walls, and stone cornice
- Romanesque Revival style details, such as round-arched window heads, coupled columns with foliate cushion capitals, simply articulated archivolts, and corbelled brickwork
- fenestration, such as one-over-one double-hung wooden-sash windows with fixed semicircular transoms
- early storefront with central entry and plate glass display windows
- Canada's Historic Places

Yn Nhrefin ym min y môr.
Mae pawb wedi mynd ar y Clonc Mawr !
Melin Trefin, Crwys
Beth yw`r Clonc Mawr? Taith gerdded Gymraeg ar gyfer oedolion sy`n dysgu Cymraeg a`r Cymry sy`n mo`yn eu cefnogi nhw. `Yn ni`n cerdded rhan fach o Lwybr Arfordir Sir Benfro bron bob mis ac yn mynd o dde`r sir i`r gogledd. Cyfle i oedolion sy`n dysgu Cymraeg siarad Cymraeg tu fa`s i`r `stafell ddosbarth, ac mae croeso i ddysgwyr o bob safon. Dechreuon ni yn Llanrhath hynny yw Amroth yn ne Sir Benfro fis Mawrth 2009 a bennwn ni`r Clonc Mawr ar bwys Traeth Poppit yn y gogledd yn 2013, felly cymerith y Clonc Mawr marce pedair mlynedd.

The Clonc Mawr 34
Pembrokeshire Coast Path, Wales, March 2012
Abereiddy to Aber Draw / Aber Felin
The mill isn`t grinding tonight
In Trefin on the edge of the sea.
Everyone`s gone on the Clonc Mawr !
Melin Trefin, Crwys
What is the Clonc Mawr? The Clonc Mawr is a walk for adults who are learning Welsh and the Welsh speakers who want to support them. We walk a small part of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path almost every month and we`re walking from Amroth in the south to Poppit in the north. It`s a chance for adults who are learning Welsh to use their Welsh outside the classroom, and adult learners of every level are welcome. We started in Amroth in south Pembrokeshire in March 2009 and we`ll finish the Clonc Mawr near Poppit Sands in the north in 2013, so the Clonc Mawr will take about four years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y Clonc Mawr
(English version below)
Fel arfer `yn ni`n cwrdd am 10.30 mewn caffi neu 10.45 os nad oes caffi cyfleus a dechrau`r Clonc Mawr am 11.00. `Yn ni`n cael picnic ar y ffordd ag `yn ni`n cyrraedd pen y daith erbyn 3.00. Lifftiau wedyn yn ôl i`r ceir ac i gaffi am glonc a dished. `Yn ni`n aros yn y caffi tan 4.30. Dyma dros bump awr rhwng 10.45 a 4.30 i`r oedolion sy`n dysgu Cymraeg ei siarad hi.
Mae`r Cymry`n bwysig ar y Clonc Mawr i gloncan da`r dysgwyr achos trwy siarad Cymraeg â`r Cymry mae`r dysgwyr yn dysgu`r iaith. Fel mae Dafydd Iwan yn dweud yn ei gân enwog*:
“I`r Clonc! I`r Clonc!
Dewch Gymry hen ac ifanc.
Dewch i`r Clonc!”
So pobol yn dysgu iaith yn y `stafell ddosbarth. Maen nhw`n cael y patrymau sylfaenol yno ond maen nhw`n dysgu siarad yr iaith trwy ei siarad hi â siaradwyr brodorol tu fa`s i`r `stafell ddosbarth. Ar y Clonc Mawr mae`r dysgwyr yn cael y cyfle i ddefnyddio, ymarfer ac ymestyn y patrymau maen nhw wedi dysgu yn y `stafell ddosbarth. Felly mae`r Cymry`n hanfodol i`r broses `ma ac mae`n bwysig iawn i ni gael Cymry ar y Clonc Mawr. A beth mae`r Cymry`n ei wneud ar y Clonc Mawr? Dim ond cerdded `da ni a chloncan `da pawb am y byd a`r betws.
`Yn ni`n cerdded dim ond tipyn bach o`r Llwybr Arfordir bob tro achos mae`r pwyslais ar siarad Cymraeg, dim ar gerdded. Mae croeso i`r bobol sy` ddim yn mo`yn cerdded gwrdd â ni yn y caffi am yr awr ola` i gloncan.

Mae sawl Clonc Bach o gwmpas Sir Benfro hefyd. Dyma gyfle i`r oedolion sy`n dysgu Cymraeg gwrdd am ddwy awr mewn caffi neu dafarn i gloncan yn Gymraeg. Mae`r Cymry`n hanfodol yma hefyd. Gallwch chi gael manylion y Cloncie Bach trwy Gwglo: Cloncie Bach.
Mae`r gerdd fach isod gan y Cloncfeistr at y Cymry sy`n dod i`r Clonc Mawr a`r Cloncie Bach i gloncan yn Gymraeg `da`r oedolion sy`n dysgu`r iaith:
Cymry`r Cloncie
Fe gewch chi hwyl a sbri,
Bisgedi, cacenni a dished o fri.
A phan ddewch chi`n llu, pentigili,
I ganol y miri, a`r garw wedi`i dorri,
Fe gewch chi`r fraint, heb sylwi,
O ddod â`ch Cymraeg aton ni.
Y Cloncfeistr
Dyma englyn gan y Prifardd Idris Reynolds at y bobol sy`n dysgu Cymraeg*.
Dysgwr
Mewn gardd a fu yn harddwch – a`i lliwiau
Yn llawer tanbeitiach
Y mae rhosynnau mwyach
Yn bywhau y border bach
Idris Reynolds

Y Clonc Mawr
Am mai hwyl y sgyrsiau mân ar y wâc
yw`r wers orau`n unman,
drwy ddyfal donc a chloncan
mae ail iaith yn cerdded mla`n.
Ceri Wyn Jones
A dyma Gân y Cloncie**
And this is the song of the Cloncs
Cân y Cloncie
Mae`r Dysgwyr wedi gwylltio,
A`u hysbryd sydd ar dân;
Pob tafod wedi tewi,
A`u treiglade`n finiog lân,
A`u treiglade`n finiog lân.
I`r Clonc! I`r Clonc!
Dewch ddysgwyr hen ac ifanc,
Dewch i`r Clonc!
Hen ddigon o fân siarad,
Dosbarthiadau saff di-ri;
Dim cadw`n dawel dim mwyach,
Defnyddio`n Cymraeg `ŷn ni,
Ie, defnyddio`n Cymraeg `ŷn ni.
Cytgan
Fe heriwn ni bob tiwtor,
Mwynheuwn ni`r oriau dysg;
Sylfeini`r drefn grynwn ni, ie,
Pan godwn ni ein cri,
Pan godwn ni ein cri.
Cytgan
Oes `na Gymry yn y Cloncie
I gwblhau y gwaith?
Fe godwn ni i gyd o`n hawddfyd clyd
I gloncan gyda`r iaith,
I gloncan i ben y daith.

What is Y Clonc Mawr? `Y` means `the, `Clonc` means `a chat` and `Mawr` means `big`. So `Y Clonc Mawr` means `The Big Chat`.
The Clonc Mawr is a walk for adults who are learning Welsh and the Welsh speakers who want to support them. We walk a small part of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path almost every month and we`re walking from Amroth in the south to Poppit in the north. It`s a chance for adults who are learning Welsh to use their Welsh outside the classroom, and adult learners of every level are welcome. We started in Amroth in south Pembrokeshire in March 2009 and we`ll finish the Clonc Mawr near Poppit Sands in the north in 2013, so the Clonc Mawr will take about four years.
We usually meet at 10.30 or 10.45 when there isn`t a convenient cafe and start the Clonc Mawr at 11.00. We have a picnic on the way and we reach the end of the walk by 3.00. Lifts then back to the cars and to a cafe for a clonc and a cuppa. We stay in the cafe `til 4.30. This is over five hours between 10.45 and 4.30 for the adults sho are learning Welsh to speak it.
Welsh speakers are important on the Clonc Mawr to chat to the adult learners because by speaking Welsh with Welsh speakers the learners learn the language. As Dafydd Iwan says in his famous song*:
“To the Clonc! To the Clonc!**
Come Welsh people old and young
Come to the Clonc!”
People don`t learn a language in the classroom. They get the basic patterns there but they learn to speak to speak the language by speaking it with native speakers outside the classroom. On the Clonc Mawr the adult learners have the chance to use, practise and extend the patterns they`ve learnt in the classroom. This means that Welsh speakers are essential to the this process and it`s very important for us to have Welsh speakers on the Clonc Mawr. And what do the Welsh speakers do on the Clonc Mawr? Just walk with us and chat to everyone about anything and everything.
We only walk a small part of the Cioast Path each time because the emphasis is on speaking Welsh, not on walking. People who don`t want to walk are welcome to meet us in the cafe to chat with us for the last hour.
For details: Google `Y Clonc Mawr` or phone 01437 776785.

There are several Clonc Bachs (`Clonc Bach` means `Little Clonc`) around Pembrokeshire as well. This is a chance for the adults who are learning Welsh to meet for an hour or two in a cafe or pub to chat in Welsh. Welsh speakers are essential here as well. You can get details of the Cloncie Bach by Googling: Cloncie Bach.
The poem below by the Cloncmaster is to the Welsh speakers who come to the Clonc Mawr and the Cloncie Bach (Little Cloncs) to chat in Welsh with the adult learners:
The Welsh people of the Cloncs**
You`ll have fun and sport,
Biscuits, cakes and a cuppa of renown.
And when you come as a host, all the way,
Into the merriment, and break the ice,
You`ll have the honour, without noticing,
Of bringing your Welsh to us.
This is an englyn by the `Prifardd` Idris Reynolds to the people who are learning Welsh*:
Learner**
In a garden that was prettier – and its
colours
Very much brighter
There are roses once again
Enlivening the dear border
This is an englyn by the `Prifardd` Ceri Wyn Jones.
The Clonc Mawr**
Because the fun of the small talk on the walk
is the best lesson anywhere,
by persistence and chattering
a second language walks on.
* We`ve had permission from Dafydd Iwan to use this version by the Cloncmaster of
his famous song and permission from Idris Reynolds and Ceri Wyn Jones to use
their englyns.
** The English version by the Cloncmaster is of course just a rough translation to give
you an idea of the original.
