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.

Theatre, dance, music, film, and visual arts come together in one place. Students and seasoned professionals perform side-by-side--their work is a culmination of workshops, rehearsals, and collaborations across disciplines. This is the purpose and the realization of Edgemar Center for the Arts.
We provide a physical environment that nurtures the collaboration between writers, directors, actors, musicians, dancers, and visual artists. Because our focus is on the creative process, our classes and productions actively mix together people of all ages and levels of experience to create an environment of learning.
"The Night of the Black Cat" takes place on one magical night when some of France's most famed artists travel through time to entertain in the salon of Germaine de Stael. It's a provocative, fun-filled musical set in the French Cabaret “Le Chat Noir” in Paris 1881, featuring forbidden poetry, passionate dancing and sensual music. The show is an original work based on themes that resonated through the Parisian café in the years after its opening. Experience a taste of a revolutionary artistic movement set in the watering hole of the world’s most influential artists including George Sand, Jane Avril, Edith Piaf, Picasso and other luminaries. The Night of the Black Cat is a mystical, magical, and sensual night.
Lord Krishna's dharma is "Swadharma" and rest other "Pardharma" is a wrong interpretation given by different sects or followers of a particular sect simply to keep their followers in the fences of their own sect. Lord Krishna never said so, in fact His whole life is a message for everyone. In Bhagwad Geeta He has demarcated Self and Non Self and asked to realize one's own Self. He gave same to Arjuna rather than making him do any other ritual. Aim of Human life should be to realize your true Self.
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.

You know you are a big contender on the political scene when you roll deep in an Alto. As I've mentioned before, Japanese law limits the number of citizens you can simultaneously campaign to, so politicians often drive around or stand on street corners making campaign promises.
I believe one of the good things about winter is the realization that it eventually unfolds into the warmth and newness of spring... and yet there are other things. Spring is the promise of winter... apples, peaches, and other crops will not fruit properly without exposure to so many hours of freezing weather. Did you know that water expands when it is both frozen and heated? Winter freezes ground water and breaks up the soil. A snowpack forces more nitrogen into soil than most any other way... just one of the ways God tends his garden of spring wildflowers. Winter often assures the things we look forward to in spring... and gives us the contrast to appreciate them.
For many here on Flickr, each day into winter leaves a longing... and it shows, as I'm beginning to see many images of flowers, blooms, and flourishing color rising from sleepy woods in the hope that winter will just move along. I suppose mine is no different here with these Bradford pear buds. One bud (actually only a 1/4 inch in diameter) shows the inner beauty of colorful anthers and stigma just appearing. As is the way with flowers, this "inner beauty" will soon be overshadowed as the petals emerge... nature's version of a spring bonnet. Come to think of it, that's often the way of people, too. Are our "spring bonnets" what bring a springlike refreshing within ourselves? "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment. . . . Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight" (1 Peter 3:3-4).
Newness isn't always a good thing... Vicki, a dear friend from church in Cedar Grove, was recently diagnosed with aplastic thyroid cancer. The prognosis is not good. She's in much pain from radiation therapy, can't swallow, and is having bad reactions to medication. Today, she had a feeding tube inserted. Ironically, Vicki is the leader of our Relay For Life team. At our first fundraiser of 2012, a country ham and egg breakfast, Vicki was weak, but she was still on her game... to the point that nearly $5000 dollars was raised for the American Cancer Society that morning. You wouldn't believe the effort that goes into feeding hundreds of people within the span of a few hours... it requires team effort, and no one brings a team together quite like she does... though daughter Paula's coming along just fine. Love you, Vicki! Thank you for the "inner beauty" that shines within you. Please remember her and her family in your prayers! "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them" (Matthew 18:20).

Self-realization or Awakening is the end of the mind; it is the end of all knowledge. In here, we start to unlearn and to assume our Real Nature, our True Nature. It is the end of that illusory mind, with all its productions. It is the end of all beliefs, opinions, judgments and conditioning. ~M. Gualberto ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sua Natureza Real é Silêncio, é Liberdade, é Paz, é Bem-aventurança, é Amor.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Realização, ou Despertar, é o fim da mente, é o fim de todo conhecimento.

It was a realization that taking pictures during military parade is very challenging. I was right there looking at the participants while marching in front of me, I was holding my camera, and was hesitant whether to shoot or just watch. What so challenging about shooting participants when you just have to aim the camera to the participants? That was the question I repeatedly asked myself, while other photographers fire away I was there just holding the camera, I can see these people who are taking pictures enjoying, but not me, I was contemplating.
I was brainstorming with myself, what is there to shoot aside from marching bands? men in uniform and their wooden rifles? beautiful majorettes (Mariners rocks) and long legged sponsors? Those are the only available subjects that I thought of or probably I was not creative enough to think of something else, the latter is more possible than the former.
I also took pictures of the participants but believe me its completely the same with the pictures taken by other photographers. So here, I was trying to be different, yes, I still shot legs but they were not in parade, I think they were in pain wearing those flashy boots, I felt that their feet were already numb when they walked towards their station just wearing their socks without realizing that the pavement was extremely hot due to the weather.
I'll post some default shots later. :-)
I studied abroad in Capetown, South Africa and took a class on post-apartheid South Africa. I was able to get the most eye-opening stories and experiences from random cab drivers, restaurant owners and strangers during my day to day in Capetown. I learned despite the burden and struggle a country and its people can go through, humans constantly seek to share and connect with each other.
That made me smile.

I just came to the realization that skiing is just not my thing. Some people may be experts. I am not one of them. I wish, but I don't think I will.
Just the thought of having two uncontrollable long sticks attached to my legs is scary. Maybe Snowboarding. I should try that on my next trip there.
But I would love to learn cross country skiing - if only to get to Glacier Point and witness a sunset.
So that is why when I went to Badger Pass when it opened for the season right after fresh snowfall, I opted not to ski and instead went around shooting photographs. Not only was I trying to shoot some amazing cloud formations, I was looking keenly at the groomed tracks of the snowcat and patterns left by skiers above.
I loved the swishy patterns formed by skiers on a rather steep slope and was changing my lens to shoot it when a group of skiers crossed the path leading to other unwanted trails.
So I did the best I could

What is Self-realization (Atma-sakshatkar)? It is to know 'who am I?' Are you the name given to you? No, you are a Pure Soul.
Self-realization is to be aware of the Soul. Such a state of awareness will be a gradual development. No suffering / negativity would touch you when you are totally aware of the Soul. Atma-sakshatkar is to keep observing the non-self part, the mind-body-speech-intellect, and observe what they are doing. Watch this video to find out more about what 'Atma-sakshatkar' is exactly.

Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, Arizona. 2 action sampler photos taken 1 right after the other while on an electric walkway. I love airports.
The walkways going to the main parts of the airport had the silver metal diagrams of different planes on the windows that looked over the runways. The black lines from the first photo are from those metal planes. I thought it was a really cool way of decorating =)
meaning is sometimes hard to spot
it begins with the flickering of cigarettes, in the darkness of a dorm room, somewhere in the suffocated mid-west
and if this is real then i was mistaken, and if there is truth then why can't we find it?
beauty comes to those who have been waiting for something bigger than themselves
this is the sound of the hopeless kids as they scream from the basements of the houses of their parents
and this is the sound of the hopeless ones as they stare down at their books
and realize they have been lied to
but if this is real then I was mistaken, and the vision fades as quickly as it came
consistency like that which I have craved, is that people change so unexpectedly
realization finds you in a drunken airport, some planes depart and others never arrived
so with this in mind I don't plan on waiting, if its time to leave and break these old ties
without something else this vision is fading, but until its gone the pain will make us try
but this is the hope I have been searching for
as the wings catch the sunlight of this cold Nebraska skyline
this is the dream I am dying in
I will wake to find tomorrow, be content without perfection
but if this is real then I was mistaken, and if the vision is gone then I was not aware
He has plenty of points of articulation: ball-jointed neck, shoulders, wrists, thighs and ankles; additional joints on the elbows, waist and knees.
He comes with several hand attachments that connect on the ball-joint so he can switch between his blaster and katana.
In this video, Pujya Deepakbhai describes about His self-realization experiences. He took Gnan from Dada Bhagwan in the year 1971 and experienced inner bliss. Slowly He got to understand this spiritual science and the reality of this universe. He began to understand what is pure Soul, what are other elements, mind, intellect, ego and how are the anger, pride, greed and deceit, etc. working and felt separation from His body or the relative Self. While studying also, He felt that His inner awareness is completely separate from what was going on the outside like studies, business etc. Even though the ego had suffering at times, but He could stay separate from the ego as well. This is a non-contradictory science. With even a single wrong belief we will not get the exact result. By studying Dada's literature His understanding of this science is very clear and is in His experience with the grace of Dada Bhagwan. He can very well experience separation from any anger, pride, deceit, greed that may arise.

on realization and time
we concluded part 3 by comprehending that any primitive alter-universe has an ‘elementary moment’ - a pattern which governs how its constituent differentials extend and understand each other.
we also comprehended that at the ‘moment of realization’, each is real as the auto-understanding of the other.
in other words, by being constitutionally nothing but a differential extending of the other, each realizes its own exteriority as a spacing from the other. in this way each understands space.
our task is now to show how the constituent differentials understand time - as progressive reiterations of the moment of realization - as moments of presence.
saturday 21st february 2015
elementary moment:
the pattern of differential extending of an alter-universe.
(graphic)
moment of realization:
the differentials realize their pattern, becoming spatially real for each other.
(graphic)
first moment of presence:
(auto-reiteration of the moment of realization)
the beginning of time for a spatial alter-universe,
for which each presents itself for the first moment of time
to the other as the other
but - so
each differential auto-understands as a spatiality-with the other (by extending constitutionally as the other) but pure singleness extends instantaneously, so the other which the one is spatially real as, is already spatially real as its ownmost other ...which is the one.
in other words, for a moment of presence in a violet-red, two-fold alter-universe, violet is real as that which red is already real as - which is violet. (and the same is true for red-violet) this is what we mean by the instantaneous symmetrical entanglement of pure singleness; and although a moment of time seems to pass for red and violet as an accumulative alternation of their spatial realities, this moment is only how each understands and realizes the presence of the other
pure singleness does not extend spatio-temporally, and is not effected. hence their entanglement extends into itself instantaneously.

eight moments of a violet-red alter-universe.
elementary :
violet red
realizing :
violet is (real as red) but red is already (real as violet)
red is (real as violet) but violet is already (real as red)
first present:
so (real as red) is presently (real as (real as violet))
so (real as violet) is presently (real as (real as red))
second present:
but (real as violet) is already (real as (real as red)) so (real as (real as violet)) is presently (real as (real as (real as red)))
but (real as red) is already (real as (real as violet)) so (real as (real as red)) is presently (real as (real as (real as violet)))
third present:
but (real as (real as red)) is already (real as (real as (real as violet))) so (real as(real as (real as red)) is presently (real as(real as (real as (real as violet)))
but (real as(real as violet))
is already (real as(real as (real as red)))so (real as (real as (real as violet))) is presently (real as(real as (real as (real as red)))
to abbreviate the rest…
fourth present:
but (((violet))) is already ((((red)))) so ((((violet)))) is presently (((((red)))))
but (((red))) is already ((((violet)))) so ((((red)))) is presently (((((violet)))))
fifth present:
but ((((red)))) is already (((((violet))))) so (((((red))))) is presently ((((((violet))))))
but ((((violet)))) is already (((((red))))) so (((((violet))))) is presently ((((((red))))))
sixth, seventh, etc., red and violet continue accumulating the momentary spatial realities of each other as the time of their alter-universe.

CAMPUS - Prof. Han Slawik Architect
Principles for the realization of the temporary project 'Campus' - with a life of 5 years - were:
· Mont table> removable> remo table
· Use of containers
· Use of industrially manufactured products
· Reuse of building elements
· Experiments in function space and construction
Reflected these essential ideas in the realized object:
· Building elements are fully equipped with demountable connections
· Modular design with seven shipping containers 20 ft (6 m)
· Standard products: concrete slabs (Stelcon) for foundation, kasgevelsysteem for the greenhouse-like gap
· Formwork girders as supports between the containers, scrap wood floors
· Dealing with limited dimensions of containers, Space spiral staircase with a crooked pole
Experiences with the use of the object:
· Mounted vertically containers give additional problems in connections and seals
· Second components are labor intensive and maintenance
De Realiteit, Almere NL - On the south bank of the Noorderplassen in Almere is situated “De Realiteit” (The Reality). An unusual name for a street. Seventeen winning designs of the Second Competition of “De Fantasie” (The Fantasy) were built here in 1986. A year earlier the foundation organized "Fantasy" a design entitled "Temporary Housing". The prizes consisted of land, plots of approximately 20x20 m, where the winners, 17 could realize their ideas. By their nature offered the opportunity to contest the freest design, especially as the building codes did not have to be observed. Concepts such as removable, repositionable, limited life were central. The decommissioning of the building regulations meant that the awarded works were to be considered temporary. The participants knew in advance that the normal funding, namely the mortgage, was not available because of the transitory character. Nevertheless today (after 27 years) the houses are still present and inhabited and most are in good condition.
Goofball idiots wearing the Republican banner have opened their mouths about women's issues and were called to task for it. Rightly so. But to think the 'other' party is free of guilt is being naive. They've acquired your services in the promotion of their own agenda. Think! Genuine Right Memes™
Taken from a beautiful garden (Self Realization Fellowship Hermitage & Meditation Garden) above the cliffs at Encinitas. The garden is open to the public and is a must see if in the San Diego area.
We the people are but the puppets of our needs and whims. We worship god for whatever he gave us and for the ability he bestowed us with.
The image above depicts an event when the god is giving a strong punch to the person who is involved in the immersion. He is being pulled up by the almighty for the filth he is spreading in the river.
We should stop spreading filth here and there and worship god so that we attain peace and prosperity. This should not be done at the cost of many lives who unknowingly suffer from the dirt caused by the people.
Disclaimer: I have not tried to hurt anyone's religious sentiment. I have just endeavored to convey a message (mentioned above)

Plaisirs d'hiver - Marche de noel 2019 - On New Year Eve
From 29 November to 5 January, this unmissable event is back in central Brussels, and with it the guarantee of spending magical moments in the city's streets and being lost in wonder on Grand-Place before the incredible sound and light show and stunning Christmas tree.
Also on the programme: the traditional big wheel, covered ice rink, chalets, merry-go-rounds and countless activities for young and old, not forgetting the art installations and illuminations that create a unique atmosphere in the capital. This year, we have a very big special guest, 55 cm to be precise: the Manneken-Pis, who will be celebrating his 400th birthday with a whole host of festive activities.
Every year, the City of Brussels works twice as hard to put on an even more enjoyable and seamless event for local people and our many international visitors. Last year, it attracted nearly three million! Its success also benefits hotels and businesses in the centre, which post impressive figures.
And to share the Christmas joy, the Winter Pop popup village will stop off in four areas of the city. Every weekend, free activities will be organized with community groups and local figures. Caravans, lights, firepits, all kinds of artists, music, games... For the third year, Winter Pop will spread the Winter Wonders' fairy dust across Brussels.
The City of Brussels and the organizers thank the Brussels's artists Guillaume Desmaret & Arnaud Debal of the Farm Prod collective for the realization of the visual of Winter Wonders 2019. www.farmprod-collective.be
