Today I needed my Yantra Mate again after a long, long time to fade out the presence.

Park at Realization Point, take the Range View Trail, which offers views like this. I took this on December 16, and although I took micro spikes, there was no need for them. Usually, this is a snowy trail in December.

The Indian Peaks Wilderness Area is on the horizon. Niwot Ridge, the site of the University of Colorado Mountain Research Station, is also visible.

Boulder Canyon is in the very center of the photo.

When you love somebody

They'll always leave too soon

But a memory, a memory

Can make a flower bloom

We wanna be remembered

Don't wanna live in vain

But nothing lasts forever

This world is in a losing game

I wanna mean something to somebody else

Feel a significance in the real world

It's not enough to live out a lucky life

I'm forever chasing after time

But everybody dies, dies

If I could buy forever at a price

I would buy it twice, twice

But if the earth ends in fire

And the seas are frozen in time

There'll be just one survivor

The memory that I was yours

And you were mine

For Thomas, self-realization in the larger story calls for a reinvention of ourselves as participating in our genetic relatedness to Earth, as well as in the material elements of the universe. The challenge that Thomas himself underwent by integrating cultural and evolutionary history became his prophetic call. He called humans back from a hyper-individualism trapped in a use-relationship with an objectified, dead world. The three mediations evident in the cultural historical record inspired him to call for a communion experience with the Earth community as continuing the emergence of the universe.

--Thomas Berry, “The Role of the Church in the 21st Century,” in The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth, ed. Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim (Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis Books, 2009), 58.

First afternoon off work because I felt like it...upon arrival...the realization that idle time is a burden set in...the mind wanders...there was only one solution...take a walk with the MKIII and the 100-400mm. After about 15 minutes in the still 85 Deg F heat I was done...my first thoughts on what to call this shoot was "Butterflies & B.S." A Variety of Things Seen.

The Swallowtails were on the Ironweed as was eye too...like an Angel spreading Its Wings...inviting a path to salvation...to be lifted from the rabble.

There had been a passing shower and these little pink wildflowers were glistening in the late afternoon Sun.

It matters not where I go while moving about in nature. I do not need to take costly trips to far away locations. It would be cool to see Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon and so many other great national parks, but the thought of big summer crowds always keeps me away.

For me, there is still so much to see in the Olympic National Park, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker and the North Cascades, that I truly feel as if my roots will remain home. The next 25 plus years will be here and I like it that way.

I am at peace in any forest setting with moving water near by. The Gray Wolf River above gave me a chance to sit and marvel at how lucky I am to live here in Washington state.

The best realization is often when you are alone staring at a sunset.

Realization to start Monday in another week:Love will keep us alive ;o))

You smiled at me

and suddenly

I realized;

until he found

his flower,

the honeybee

did not even begin

to realize

he was a honeybee

at all.

Frannie was a year behind me in High School. She was so cute and vivacious. She still is...

It's wonderful that we are still friends...

captured in palma de mallorca, this photo depicts the silhouette of a man deep in thought, with the shadow of a street lamp cast above him. in german, there is a saying "ein licht geht auf," which means "a light goes on" when someone finds a solution or understands something. the interplay of light and shadow in this image beautifully symbolizes the moment of realization and clarity.

Imagined golden morning of awakening to a new thought.

Unity is the key, and after the past events its the only thing we need...Or is it?

"I think you can understand the challenge of what Robert Bresson termed "necessary images," especially as it relates to the reduction of the mystery of faith from the broadest of its dimensions to a human 2D image. I have been wrestling with how to move beyond the confines of the iconic and traditional to explore faith and mystery in visual terms that make it intriguing, appealing, and approachable. I suppose it will always be a journey and never a destination"

...

This is the realization of a trip I have been wanting to do for a long time...

A trio of Deseret Power Railway E60Cs departs the Deserado Mine loadout near Dinosaur, CO with the morning loads for the Bonanza Power Plant near Bonanza, UT. The train will take about an hour to cover the 35 miles between the two points on a line with no rail connections.

I suppose the employee in the truck was wondering what I was up to, but when he saw me scrambling to pack up to get to the next location, he smiled and said "better hurry."

*Working Towards a Better World

I just spent a few hours working on uploading 2 photos to my website to have the electricity fail on me, so lost everything and have to go back to square one!!! So I will upload one at a time in the hope that this does not happen again!

Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure. - George E. Woodberry

The harder the struggle the more glorious the triumph.

Self-realization demands very great struggle. -

Don't cry over the past, it's gone. Don't sress about the future, it hasn't arrived. Live in the present and make it beautiful. -

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️

the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

the heart-shaped nucleus in the white blood cell shows that it is a young monocyte cell.

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

WIDE ANGLE - MINIMALISM is the Topic for Friday 28th October 2011

ODC3

I was standing alone, not sure of what I really wanted to do with my camera. I needed a distraction, an opportunity to understand, to realize...none, but myself. It needed some self admittance that I was willing to look for flaws in a system that I believed were governed by principles of fairness. I am flawed, I just needed some courage. This photograph was taken a few days ago. I didn't like it as much. When I looked at it today, I liked it. I liked my flaws. They were nice to have. They made me feel who I am. As the Sun set, dark clouds welcomed a what was to be torrential and stormy evening. I noticed this solitary bird flying towards a mass of dark clouds, fearless in its journey, with a solitary objective to reach home. I sincerely wished the bird a safe passage...in its flight there was left behind some courage for me to pick up...
