The aching realization is easily this – we out-dreamed ourselves down here in the Valley. There's a lot gets left behind, and everyone I knew who didn't move away got pretty lost in the process. Lost while knowing exactly where they were, it's a funny feeling, driving in circles until you find the place where here turns into there. I'm always aware of what luck I've got – that the world comes to my window, through the satellite signal, in the mess of lines and wires. If it weren't for folks from far away, I'd be dead in the riverwater years ago. It's not so easy all the same, waking up before dawn still sweating for survival, some primal instinct saying I should be fighting or running. So I keep it up, getting desperate for making a living, counting pennies down to the decimal line. I've got a love for my life that no death could ever match, and my hopes are all in on making it.

My first tattoo I got when my husband and I split up to find our selves. That was my issue I lost who I was. I was no longer a strong independant woman. I was this navy wife that sat at home and waited for her sailor to come home. Whe the navy was out of our lives I didnt know how to be...

"Flight" by James Brooks.
"The mural on these walls presents the broad scope of man's yearning for flight, various approaches toward that idea and its final realization. It was designed and executed by James Brooks and assistants under auspices of the New York City W.P.A. Art Project.
Section I, starting directly above and continuing right to the "Arrivals" door, treats man's imaginary flight into the heavens before he discovered the physical laws that govern flight. First, a primitive man, earthbound, crouches in fear of storm in the heavens. Then, against a panel of early tribal and religious symbols a group around an altar practices rituals and incantation, invoking a vision of man in flight. Failure of early attempts at actual flight is symbolized in the white square by the falling Icarus, the wax of his wings melted by the sun.
The large central figure, who stands contemplating the heavens through a circular cut in the ceiling, swings in one hand a censer, indicating the religious origin of man's early thoughts of flight. With the other hand he describes early flying machines imagined by man. These devices embody various principles, some basically sound, others fantastic. The section ends with Leonardo da Vinci, who discovered and first attempted to use many aerodynamic laws. He launches a model airship while holding an instrument for measuring wind velocity, both of his own design. An apprentice studies the wing movements of a bird.
Decorative Panel Over Main Entrance - Modern propeller blades.
Over Arrivals Door - Buildings and Towers, symbols of man's tireless attempts to climb upward.
Over Departures Door - Patterns of the flow of air around shapes, utilized in airplane testing and design.
You don't have to agree with these. I am sharing them to attempt to better myself as a person. This is what works for me right now.
1. Friends are something to enjoy. They are not an obligation nor should you be dependent on them alone. I need to make sure I can take care of myself for me.
2. While having a boyfriend (girlfriend : significant other : spouse : etc ) is good for the feels, that person should not be required and/or the basis for all my happiness. I can be happy on my own as an individual.
3. I am me. That's all I really can be. I can't be you. I can't be them. I'm the only one who knows what that means at the core and I will strive to be the best me there is by my standards. If there is a problem, I will need to fix it myself. Others can support but the real work needs to be done by yours truly.
4. I seemed to have a misunderstanding of this ideal for the first half of my life. I can say I'm pretty without it being egotistical. I can say I'm good at things without it being gloating. It's a matter of balancing it so it doesn't become overly prideful or hurtful to others.
5. Advice has always been a hard thing for me to accept, to process, and to deal with. I do not do well at all with people being blunt with me, no matter how much I "need" to hear what they're saying. But it is just that. Advice. It is not a rule. It is not a law. I will not be put away for not following it. If I do not take the advice and I mess up, that is my own fault and my own choice. If I take the advice and things end up poorly, again, it is not a reflect on them, but in myself for following it. Advice is formulated by others advice or experianxe shared and personal experience in the situation. It is not something written in stone. It can be pushed aside if you do not feel it is right for you.
Enough of this, I need sleep but at least my mind and heart are at rest now. Sometimes you just have to get these things out.
The paradox of this Realization is that it is instantaneous and it is gradual. The paradox of this Realization is that the "surrender" is yours, the Surrender is God’s, Devotion is yours, but the Devotion is from God by God. No thought about God happens there, if God does not produce the thought about Himself, about who He Is. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The desire for God is God's desire for Himself. Your salvation is not yours, it is God recognizing Himself as safe, untouchable, immutable, unattainable by any distress, suffering and danger. This is the paradox - God has never lost from Himself, He does not want to find Himself, but He does it all the time: He gets lost and wants to find Himself. He will never quit doing it, being a paradox. ~Master Gualberto ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A Iluminação é paradoxal, Deus é paradoxal. O paradoxo desta Realização é que ela é instantânea e é gradual. O paradoxo dessa Realização é que a “entrega” é sua, a Entrega é de Deus, a Devoção é sua, mas a Devoção é de Deus por Deus. Nenhum pensamento sobre Deus acontece aí, se Deus não produzir esse pensamento acerca Dele mesmo, sobre quem Ele É. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ O desejo por Deus é o desejo de Deus por Ele mesmo. A sua salvação, não é a salvação sua, é Deus se reconhecendo como salvo, intocável, imutável, inatingível por qualquer aflição, sofrimento e perigo. Este é o paradoxo – paradoxo que Deus nunca se perdeu Dele mesmo, Ele não deseja se encontrar, mas Ele faz isso o tempo todo: se perde e deseja se encontrar. Ele jamais deixará de fazer isso, de ser um paradoxo. ~Mestre Gualberto ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ramanashramgualberto #mestregualberto #satsang #ramana #ramanamaharshi #awakening #advaita #nonduality #mahadeva #arunachala #artedeviver #jefffoster #ramdass #mooji #guidance #spiritualawekening #medidate #pray #prayers #mind #destiny #oracao #devotion #devocao #love #amor #liberdade #freedom #surrender #yoga ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Earlier when I saw some abstract pictures of waterfalls I used to wonder - why this abstraction ? Now, my realization is ...
1. As I said it provides abstraction
2. Kind of unique composition
3. Mainly you are frustrated that you took all the pain to reach the waterfalls at wrong time of the day and you cannot avoid those over-exposed sunspots in the picture !
Latourell Falls, it reminded me of my sister's hair which grew so long that it almost touched the ground (of course when she was standing and she is 5'5" tall). and yeah, it is still black :) I had problems taking the full length picture of this falls at 11:00AM. So, had to be happy with the foot of the waterfalls. And thanks to that rock !

After Self-Realization, we should use the knowledge of the Self in dealing with people.In case of dealing with a murderer, we should consider the murderer as the relative part and there is pure Soul inside him. The murder committed is result of his past karmas and is not actually responsible for this deed as on today. He might be suffering inwardly for this bad deed.

Maletto is on the western side of the Etna to 960 M of altitude. Human settlings, around the actual Maletto, they were had until from the first millennium before Christ. There lived the Siculs, then arrived Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Arabs, Normans and Swabians. To one of these last, the Manfredi Maletta count, is owed the origin of Maletto. In the 1263, this one did raise on the fortress a strengthened tower, said Castle, about which s picked up a first nucleus of inhabitants. The construction of the actual historical centre was started at the end of XV century, when the districts that are today around the Castle were built. The construction then continued in the first years of the following century with the realization of the baronial palace of the Spatafora and the attached Saint Michael Archangel church, l et alone of stores and of an open gallery, of an inn and of a warehouse. It was however starting from the 1619, when Maletto the king of Spain recognized the title of principality, that the area is developed mostly, assuming the definitive aspect kept to our days. Maletto is the most elevated town of the Etna and of the province of Catania and it reverts nearly for whole in the park of the Etna.The production of the strawberries has made famous Maletto in the world.
Maletto è un comune italiano di 4.029 abitanti della provincia di Catania in Sicilia.Le origini del piccolo comune etneo risalgono al 1263. Esso nacque per interesse di Manfredi di Maletta, parente dell'imperatore Federico I, che edificò su uno sperone roccioso un castello, di cui ancora si conservano i ruderi. Il piccolo borgo fu abbandonato e decadde. L'attuale agglomerato urbano, è frutto della ricostruzione avviata nel 1440, ad opera del principe Spadafora.Ogni anno, nel mese di giugno, Maletto diventa la città delle fragole, richiamando centinaia di turisti e di visitatori. Nel corso della Sagra, le maestranze locali realizzano una gigantesca torta alla fragola di oltre mille chili, che viene offerta a tutti i partecipanti. Durante la manifestazione vengono esposti in appositi stand le fragole in piantine e in cassette e sono offerte come assaggio gratuito ai visitatori. Il frutto matura tra i primi di maggio e la fine di giugno e nell'ambito della sagra sono esposti diversi tipi di fragole: la fragolina di pasticceria, la fragola "rifiorente", che matura da gennaio a dicembre, e la fragola tradizionale, dal sapore più dolce e dall'odore più profumato. La sagra dura tre giorni e si svolge di solito dal venerdì alla domenica.
In this topic, Paramahansa Yogananda describes to us how can feel the heavenly visitation within us and in whole life. It is not just passing inspiration but as a stable inside realization. Through this extended consciousness, we obtain the gift of the soul like this- divine love, peace, ever-new joy.

In looking at the mirror after taking a shower after I came home from seeing Alice in Wonderland at midnight, I came to this drastic realization.
I have A LOT of fucking hair.
I mean seriously, look at it. It's cool kinda, but also a fucking hassle. Still debating on whether to cut it shorter or not. I need to at least do something with the bangs, it's borderline obscene.

The culmination and the realization closest to perfection turned out to be villa Savoye, which today is regarded as the architect masterpiece. It is the first villa which lifted the whole volume to the air. Moreover, although the atmosphere inside may seem cold, it is a type of ‘mathematical lyricism’ that Le Corbusier sought, which he could only acheive through total use of the Five Points of Modern Architecture.
Estimates of the cost in February 1929 were approximately half a million Francs, although this excluded the cost of the lodge and the landscaping elements (almost twice the original budget). The project was tendered in February with contracts awarded in March 1929. Changes made to the design whilst the project was being built including an amendment to the storey height and the exclusion and then re-introduction of the chauffeur's accommodation led to the costs rising to approximately 800,000 Francs. At the time the project started on site no design work had been done on the lodge and the final design was only presented to the client in June 1929. The design was for a double lodge but this was reduced to a single lodge as the costs were too high. Although construction of the whole house was complete within a year it was not habitable until 1931.
I've realized so much today. The person I thought I knew was just a distant memory of the person you used to be. I guess I should move on, everyone seems to have without me.
As you can see, I've got a lot on my mind. It's raining, again. I said I would capture another kind of emotion soon. I kept my promise.
I hardly ever do black and whites.
Oh guess what? I'm sick again. Yay..not.
The progress of our soul is like a perfect poem. It has an infinite idea which once realized makes all movements full of meaning and joy.
------Rabindranath Tagore

In Story of a City (1994) Munif wrote of his childhood, and his realization, that "although they were separated from Baghdad by a great distance and different accent, Baghdad was also very close."
المدينة أي مدينة
هل لها صورة واحدة
يراها الجميع بنفس الطريقة؟
حين شرعت بكتابة "سيرة مدينة"، كنت أوفي وعداً قطعته على نفسي، أن أكتب عن المدينة التي رأيت فيها النور، والتي قضيت فيها طفولتي وأول شبابي. أما لماذا قطعت ذلك الوعد ولمن، فلأني حين غادرت تلك المدينة غبت عنها ما يزيد على خمس وثلاثين سنة، ولما عدت إليها من جديد اكتشفت فيها مدينة مختلفة، لذا أردت أن أتذكر، مع ناس تلك الفترة، المدينة التي كانت، التي عرفتها، القديمة، كي تقارن بالمدينة الآن، وكي يستطاع من خلال المقابلة بين الصورتين اكتشاف ما يفعله الزمن، وماذا يعني توالي الأيام وكيف يتغير البشر والأماكن بتقدم العمر.
عبد الرحمن مُنيف
"The city – as Abd al-Rahman Munif convincingly writes in his well-known History of a City – is not its monuments, not even in their most detailed description, and is not the waters, the land and the trees one finds there, although, of course, those things all together or individually exist or can be imagined.
The city does not only consist of the people who live there, even though they give it vitality and a special flavour, as well as a past period cannot be recollected by simply examining a number of events, because, no matter how useful they may be in showing us the right direction, they do not allow us to get where we want.
The city, whatever it may be, is the sum of all those things and more, which interlace, mingle and merge, so that their combination turns out to be something different from the elements that compose it, and despite its indissoluble bond with those elements, it is not identical to any one of them."
Cities and Features of Life
Habash: In your book about Amman, you seem predisposed toward writing the “autobiography of a city,” but this story is discussed within a particular history, from the 1940s until the Palestinian migration. Why this autobiography? Why did you frame the discussion within this history? Do you find Palestinian migration to Amman a reason for its economic and architectural birth?
Munif: It is a multi-dimensional question. First, I do not find much writing about cities in our modern literature, and much of the life features associated with these cities would start to disappear unless documented through means which could keep them alive in memory. My writing the autobiography of the city aims at urging many authors to write about two important things: cities and childhoods.

Museu Blau, Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona, Spain
Architects: Herzog & de Meuron, project 2009-2010, realization 2010-2012
Relocating the Museum of Natural Sciences into the Forum Barcelona building signals the beginning of a new life cycle for both institutions: one where each mutually benefits from the space, program and potential of the other. With its large exterior and interior spaces and its reference to natural processes and shapes, the architecture of the Forum is a particularly appropriate new home for the relocated Museum. And the Museum of Natural Science promises to energetically revitalise the existing building, replacing vacant space with intense new public activities.
The open public space that marks the approach from the Diagonal and extends under the triangular body of the building is now diversified and activated, engaging with the life of the city. The corner addressing the city centre retains its function as the main public approach. This is enhanced by the three existing pavilions which are reconfigured to provide meeting places for groups and general information along the approach to the museum entrance. The second corner, further along the Diagonal is enlivened with lush external planting and the basin under the water patio. And finally, the corner addressing the sea is activated by a new exterior dining area for students and groups, adjacent to a bar which opens onto the plaza. The interior of the elevated triangular building, which is like a vast interior landscape, structured by patios, creates a specific space well suited to an exhibition of Natural science and to the Museum’s demand for growth and need to display more of its outstanding collection.
Architecture and Museography
The core of the Museum is its permanent exhibition. This consists of an outstanding collection of rocks and minerals, taxidermy, microbes, plants and herbariums, meteorites, scientific drawings, diagrams, fossils and skeletons, sounds and dioramas, gathered together over centuries in Barcelona. The exhibition consists of elements from the permanent collection structured around the concept of Gaia – the idea of a living planet which forms and is, in turn, transformed by life.
This exhibition arrangement follows the logic of the existing space and at the same time radically transforms it. It frees the visitor to explore any number of individual routes while still ensuring an overall logical sequence. It also extends into the museum lobby, where the main stair and the dramatically hung whale skeleton forms the central arrival and departure point for all public programs, including shop, restaurant, media library, classrooms, event spaces and temporary exhibition, as well as administration and support areas. The lobby extends down to the plaza connecting to the large covered public space of the Museu Blau, allowing for the visitor to invigorate the rapidly developing area where the Diagonal reaches the sea.
When you are in something so deep, you don't always see the big picture. Your reality is what you have convinced yourself it to be. There is no reason, objectivity or sincere unbiased thoughts on the matter. You get so comfortable in the illusion that you have created, that truth escapes you. It takes almost an out of body experience to give you the untainted sight required to truly see clearly. Pain will push you to that scenic view. Relentless pain that shocks your soul. That is what lifts you above and beyond petty details and insignificant words. That moment when you see a situation for it's entirety and no language can adequately explain your epiphany. Your mind knows that it can not be translated; your heart feels the nourishment; your soul is content. Now you can move on.
