Sometimes you get suddenly answers on questions you have since a long time....
I will write more, but not now
There are those days when the vision suddenly becomes clear and unobstructed.
My chiropractor, graduate, he studied in England, almost ripped my new MRI out of my hands yesterday.... Because he too was unsure about my symptoms.
He looks at it and says.:
Moni, there's a cyst, a big cyst in the sacrum, it's pressing on the nerve bundle....
He immediately compared it to an MRI from 2019. And this cyst can also be seen there.
No one took note of it before, everyone just focused on the discs.
A now viable explanation for my recent problems. Which can really only be explained if the spinal canal is deeply affected or .... the sacrum.
A confirmation.
I am not crazy.
I knew there is something else besides my operated disc, besides the postnucleosyndrome, besides the new herniated disc one floor below, which is just too small for the sensations and numbness I have had lately....
I don't know what all this means now.
Now I have to have conversations with my doctors.
But it seems to be an explanation why I'm not getting anywhere....
And that's why I'm glad that the view is clear now.
To find a way...
I wanted you to know, my friends, why I am away very often now, calm, without words...
I have to focus on my life, more.
On my health.
I have to be present, there, in my life.
I have a lot of work, really a lot, in the office too, obviously.
Take care of you my friends, take care
😘

The little mechanic builds…
Skippy was inspired to create his universe with the help of the amazing new designs from THOR's Old’s Cool Collection!
In addition, the little man worked with a number of pieces from THOR's The Little Den in Genoa Collection!

Let's keep building a world where we lift one another up, where kindness and compassion are the foundation, where love and light shine bright!
One day she realized that she could
never please everyone, so she gave up
trying and decided to be herself.
Whether other people liked it or not was
not her business.

Original Picture -
Shame is a powerful emotion for some of us. The realization that you have lost control of your own life could be depressing or liberating. There are actually three choices. Do you let it keep you down? Do you embrace your newly realized status? Or do you refuse the path chosen for you and change course? What do you choose when your own home no longer seems like a safe haven?
How does she sleep?

Home is Anywhere You Hang Your Head - Elvis Costello and the Attractions (1986), Blood and Chocolates, Elvis Costello
Here comes Mr. Misery
He's tearing out his hair again
He's crying over her again
He's standing in the super-market shouting at the customers
Here comes Mr. Misery
He'll never be any good with a mouth full of gold and blood
He's contemplating murder again
He must be in love
But you know she doesn't want you
But you can't seem to get it in your head
Oh and you can't sleep at night
And she haunts you when you go to bed
When you're tired of talking and you can't drink it down
So you hang around and drown instead
Home isn't where it used to be
Home is anywhere you hang your head . . .
Picture taken at home.

Porto, Portugal
The current building of the Oporto City Hall in Portugal was designed by the Correia da Silva Architect and began to be built in 1920.
The project came as a result of the expansion plan of the civic center developed by the English architect Barry Parker, approved in 1916. The realization of this plan led to the expansion north of the Liberdade Square, opening the Avenida dos Aliados and the current Plaza do General Humberto Delgado.
Although it was begun in 1920, the works of the building of the municipal districts suffered numerous interruptions, being introduced changes to the initial project, by Architect Carlos Ramos. The city services were only installed in the new building in 1957.

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...and like you, I became bored...the end.

I would like to combine this photo of the Saxon lavender near the town of Niesky with a small message. A realization that just hit me when I was thinking about a suitable text.
But actually it's more the title than the photo that carries my thoughts. The photo should just look good. Which it does quite well with all the bright lavender. At least I think so.
But what else do I care about? For me it's about perspective and truth. On the one hand my perspective and on the other hand that of the setting sun.
The statement in the title applies to each of the two perspectives. But the answer to the question of who is hiding from whom behind the barn could be completely opposite from every perspective.
Of course, this is only meant figuratively. The day a sun hides from me would have fundamental effects on my world view and my ego.
So who is right? What is the truth ? Very easy. Nobody is right. Both are right. Because something like "the truth" only ever exists in the spirit of one's own observation and one's own perspective.
Maybe you'll remember this the next time you find yourself on the brink of conflict. Because as one of my most important teachers once said: “Do you want to be right or be happy?”
Diese Foto, vom sächsischen Lavendel Nähe des Ortes Niesky möchte ich mit einer kleinen Botschaft verbinden. Einer Erkenntnis, die mich gerade ereilt hat, als ich über einen passenden Text nachgedacht habe.
Doch eigentlich ist es mehr der Titel als das Foto, welcher meinen Gedanken trägt. Das Foto soll einfach nur gut aussehen. Was ihm, mit dem ganzen leuchtenden Lavendel auch recht gut gelingt. Finde ich zumindest.
Doch worum gehts mir sonst noch. Es geht mir um Perspektive und um Wahrheit. Und zwar zum Einen meiner Perspektive und zum anderen die der untergehenden Sonne.
Für jeden der beiden Blickwinkel trifft die Aussage im Titel zu. Doch die Antwort auf die Frage, wer sich hier vor wem hinter der Scheune versteckt, könnte aus jeder Perspektive völlig gegensätzlich ausfallen.
Natürlich ist das hier nur sinnbildlich gemeint. Der Tag an dem sich eine Sonne vor mir versteckt hätte fundamentale Auswirkungen auf mein Weltbild und mein Ego.
Wer hat also recht ? Was ist die Wahrheit ? Ganz einfach. Keiner hat Recht. Beide haben Recht. Denn so etwas wie "die Wahrheit" existiert immer nur im Geiste der eigenen Betrachtung und eigenen Blickrichtung.
Vielleicht erinnert Ihr Euch daran, wenn Ihr das nächste Mal am Rande eines Konfliktes steht. Denn wie einer der für mich wichtigsten Lehrmeister einmal gesagt hat: "Willst du Recht bekommen, oder glücklich sein ?"

Every sunset, 'I' have missed more than a million realizations!
Only those that got into my senses have got into glorifications.
Every sunrise, 'I' sense what is not,
Those that 'I' feel, in fact are all mortal
Every sunrise, 'I' wake to see subtle illusions,
Those that got into my imagination, not real, mere delusions.
Every sunset, 'I' dream, the shadows of illusions ,
'All' that remains, is true, immortal.

Sept 12 evening I had wanted to shoot this composition with aurora for some time and Friday night I was fortunate to get there for the active curtains
March 3, 1966: “A flash of sanity: the momentary realization that there is no need to come to certain conclusions about persons, events, conflicts, trends, even trends toward evil and disaster, as if from day to day and even from moment to moment I had to know and declare (at least to myself) that this is so and so, this is good and this is bad. We are heading for a “new era” or we are heading for destruction. What do such judgments mean? Little or nothing. Things are as they are in an immense whole of which I am a part and which I cannot pretend to grasp. To say I grasp it is immediately put myself in a false position, as if I were “outside” it. Whereas to be in it is to seek truth in my own life and action, moving where movement is possible and keeping still when movement is unnecessary, realizing that things will continue to define themselves and that judgments and mercies of God will clarify themselves and will be more clear to me if I am silent and attentive, obedient to His will, rather than constantly formulating statements in this age which is smothered in language, in meaningless and inconclusive debate in which, in the last analysis, nobody listens to anything except what agrees with his own prejudices.”
- Thomas Merton - Exploring Solitude and Freedom from The Intimate Merton, March 3, 1966
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.

Plant Identification needed...
I have never seen a plant like this one.

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...and from this babble I move on to Lavender Wildflowers...more boring Beauty.

Beyond the limit of realization
Your shadow I finally found
At the moment when
I’ve become to trust everything invisible
I throw myself into the ideal
When the blue light flowing on me
Faces you and me
All the colored emotions inside
Become the unlimited range
The brightest presence in my world
The absolute value, you
My my IDEA
You are you are you are (killing me)

Marimurtra, Blanes, La Selva, Girona, España.
Situado en Blanes, en la Costa Brava, el Jardín Botánico Marimurtra es uno de los jardines más bellos de la orilla del Mediterráneo. Sobre unos acantilados que bordean el mar se pueden contemplar algunas de las panorámicas más espectaculares de la costa y conocer más de quatro mil especies vegetales, la mayoría exóticas, así como un buen número de ejemplares extraordinarios por su edad o dimensiones.
Marimurtra es la obra de un hombre apasionado por la naturaleza. Carl Faust (Hadamar, Alemania 1874-Blanes 1952), empresario establecido en Cataluña, dedicó su ilusión, su esfuerzo y todo su patrimonio a la realización de su sueño, el Jardín Botánico Marimurtra.
Located in Blanes, on the Costa Brava, the Marimurtra Botanical Garden is one of the most beautiful gardens on the Mediterranean shore. On some cliffs that border the sea, you can see some of the most spectacular views of the coast and get to know more than four thousand plant species, most of them exotic, as well as a good number of extraordinary specimens due to their age or size.
Marimurtra is the work of a man passionate about nature. Carl Faust (Hadamar, Germany 1874-Blanes 1952), businessman established in Catalonia, dedicated his illusion, his efforts and all his assets to the realization of his dream, the Marimurtra Botanical Garden.
Manhattan, NYC. This gentleman was actually signaling to his girlfriend (she had gone into the subway entrance behind the window).
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.
