Unaware of the adventures that their friend is having, and thoroughly exasperated by their total lack of success in securing help, Violet and Jaune decide to regroup and discuss their next move.
They walk along the surface of Moon 44, recounting each rejection, dismissal, and brush-off that they suffered at the hands of so many spacemen.
Excuse me...
Violet and Jaune are startled out of their reverie of shared misery by a friendly voice.
Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt, but I couldn't help overhearing that you are having trouble securing assistance to find...your missing ...friend, is it?
Thats right. answered Violet,
Are you saying that you can help us?
Violet and Jaune allow themselves the glimmer of hope that this stranger may be able to help finally find Pinky. But the man shakes his head.
No...I'm just a simple spaceman, I'm afraid. I need to get these greebles loaded onto my FRN18 rover and transported to base...
Their hopes are dashed just as quickly as they were raised.
...but I do know who can help.
You do?!
Certainly! You need to enlist the services of the Federation Search and Rescue Team.
Jaune and Violet exchange puzzled looks.
I've never heard of them.
Well, they are a new division, only recently formed. And, I might add, you are in luck, because I passed a squadron of them engaged in training exercises not far from here only a little while ago. If you hurry along, you may catch them! You'll know them by their bright orange uniforms, you can't miss 'em.
Charged with the hope of this news, Violet and Jaune thank the spaceman and trot quickly in the direction he indicated.
We will find you, Pinky! Violet thinks with renewed determination.
Girl and her dog.
REALLY TIRED TODAY. Hubby learned awesome news - he is participating in phase two of a Game Designer position and he is stoked! He figured he would just get the rejection letter but apparently they gave him a chance to prove himself. :)
P.S. Getting color done tomorrow.

The affective deficiency syndrome determines that emotional void that many adults feel as if they lack something or with a deep sense of loneliness, which will lead to the development of hostility, rejection, dependency, jealousy, dissatisfaction.
Trying to keep a smile on my face although it's Monday, and I'm at work,
and I've just this very minute gotten another rejection for a position
I've gone for.
Trying to stay positive and hopeful.
And I will go back to posting pics from my REAL camera soon too.....

So much for the red breasted Robin of happiness. This guy looked cheesed off to see me. Oh well, I can take a little rejection.
“I choose to love you in silence…
For in silence I find no rejection,
I choose to love you in loneliness…
For in loneliness no one owns you but me,
I choose to adore you from a distance…
For distance will shield me from pain,
I choose to kiss you in the wind…
For the wind is gentler than my lips,
I choose to hold you in my dreams…
For in my dreams, you have no end.”
― Jalaluddin Rumi
Homily: 15Sunday-OT071121
Subject: How are We Doing?
In preparing a homily, one must first read all of the readings that are going to be proclaimed on that day. The Gospel carries the central theme and the other readings support the theme. Today’s theme focuses on the call that each one of us hear, ponder and respond to…that God has uniquely given to you.
Let us begin with our Gospel reading where Jesus chose among his disciples (the Apostles) …because they are the living witnesses of Jesus-they where formed in HIS presence. Our Gospel reading, is very specific, in what Jesus is calling them to do. They are to go out in pairs, taking no money, the cloths on their backs and a walking stick. Into the community they go, preaching repentance, healing the sick…each disciple experiencing success and rejection. Interestingly, later in Mark 6, the twelve return and report to Jesus what they had accomplished. Jesus invites them to a quiet place…to reflect and rest with him.
Today, we are also called HIS disciples and the Church is our school of formation and teaches us how Jesus walks with us-supports us in how we live out our call. In our ordinary existence, each one of us have experienced Gods call. Sometimes the call we hear can be heard in the quiet times of our lives. At other times, it may come like a lighting strike. Either way, we respond, and we are sent out to accomplish the task at hand. We are doing God’s will, and in big or small, decisions we are building the Kingdom of God on earth.
From our second reading in Ephesians it says:
In him we were also chosen,
destined in accord with the purpose of the One
who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will,
In all wisdom and insight, he has made known to us
the mystery of his will in accord with his favor
that he set forth in him as a plan for the fullness of times,
to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth.
When we look into the mystery of life, we know our future is going to reveal surprises, good and bad, joyous and sorrowful, and it is in this landscape that we live out our calls. No call is the same, each person uniquely responds to the events that will emerge in each minute, hour and day.
Today’s takeaway question is: How are you doing with your unique call from God?
Recently, a parish member brought me a pile of books to read-yes a bit overwhelming when I have a much larger stack of books waiting to be read. So I sift through the books and find 3…the same 3 he has asked me to return. I picked up the first one, read a few interesting chapters and skimmed the rest of it. However, the second book I opened…stopped me in my tracks! This particular book speaks to the heart of my experience of being a disciple of Christ.
Here is one relatable quote from the book “the Human Adventure” by Carmelite Monk, William McNamara that should help you reflect on how well we are doing:
“We must come in or go out. All the way in-where the fire is and the sacrificial lovers are all aglow with the Spirit.”
William then quotes Dom Marmion, a renowned Benedictine abbot and spiritual writer. “He said the difference between the Saints and the rest of us is that they plunge boldly and daringly into the fire of God’s love and come out burned but incandescently and utterly transfigured. We put our little finger in, get slightly burned, and spend the rest of our days circling the fire…far enough away never to be burned again but close enough to be warmed by it.”
Jesus for us, is literally present to us in the Eucharist-he waiting for us to return and I suspect he is waiting for us to report. Each week, we return like the 12 disciples, we may be tired, but we are asked to report on how we are doing as His disciples. We will not answer this question with words but what feelings that resides deep in our hearts and conscience. We then follow our Jesus to a quiet place to rest. May we find rest here, as we offer up to God our hurts, joys, successes and failures…our very hearts to God.

Impossible (sometimes) to be perfect or successful in something all the time. Sometimes you just have to admit to yourself & the world you’re a loser in something & move on. And then when the anxiety & pressure of the embarrassment & pain is over who knows what might happen again. ♥️
"Hold me close" she whispered into his leg-bearing tympanum.
"I can't not" he answered her softly.
"Do you love me?" She asked, her labrum trembling at the thought of rejection.
"How can you even ask me that, did I not stridulate you a sonnet to express my love? Was it not the artistry of the composition, the care of my song which first drew you to me in the first place?"
"Yes, but..." and she hesitated a moment. "There were others..."
"My dear, it was a song meant for you and no other. Can we not just enjoy the sunset and each other's company?"
She nodded and gazed into the distance, feeling some small comfort, though still wary. She couldn't help but feel like he wasn't telling her something. Later that night she would dig through the garbage to find a discarded flyer; "Lampyrid investigative services: shining a light on the darkest mysteries". She had to know...

It's really been a minute, flickr. Hello again, it me.
This work is from a new series of mine in which I'm exploring how the human body can both mimic and contrast the surrounding physical landscape, as a metaphor how we are all influenced in some way by our surrounding physical and social environment but have the power to camouflage or differentiate ourselves in new worlds. I'm simultaneously working to deconstruct the binary between portraiture and landscape.

"Goodbye implies loss or rejection but well wishes are meant for times when loss is undeniably absent." - Ian Cairns
For this week's topic I chose to work with oxymorons, a combination of contradictory words.
Check out my Instagram for sneak peeks, before and afters or behind the scenes!
I believe there comes a time in ones life in which they must no longer fear being naked and exposed to the world.
Not physically, internally.
To bear ones soul and beauty marks. To no longer fear the rejection or obsess over the acceptance of others.
To bear yourself, which expresses who you really are.
And when the judgements come and the rocks are thrown, you cannot run from them. Because they will always come when you are living on the edge of the cliff.
Its okay to be there, because if you stand too far from it, you will never know the immense glory of the sea winds that blow up your body, through your tangled hair, past your shoulders and over you, through you, to cleanse you of all your comfortable fears that you so strongly held close to your heart.
You have to stand firm there.
You have to know that you will not fall, but there will always be a possibility.
You have to breath that ancient wind and know that only those who stand on that edge will ever breath it fresh, anew.
Its the embodiment of all who have cast their fears aside and given up comfortable circumstance for truth and life.
You know you are in the wrong place, at the right time, and you need to run to that cliff, to that edge of it, you need to shed your skin, you need to let down your hair, tear off your clothes, you need to breath the air that has traveled around this earth for thousands of years, you need to let it all go, and you need to start over.
I need to start over.

Après l'avoir vu bâiller, se nettoyer, se gratter, chanter, dormir, somnoler, fuir dans son trou, nous examiner, réagir aux chiens et oiseaux harcelant... le voici maintenant qui crache la boulette!
Petit rappel sur le sujet dont j'ai déjà présenté le phénomène ici. La boulette de régurgitation (ou pelote de réjection), est une boule contenant l'ensemble des composantes des proies non-digestibles... Tels les poils et les os des petits rongeurs avalés tout rond! Beaucoup connaissent ce phénomène chez les hiboux et chouettes mais peu savent que beaucoup d'autres espèces d'oiseaux peuvent à l'occasion faire de même, tels les mouettes, goélands, cormorans, sternes, harles, certains limicoles et même les corbeaux, les corneilles et les geais, sans oublier les aigles, éperviers, faucons et buses...
Riders on the Storm
Genetic variation is the framework upon which evolution is based. Very simply, we all have genes that determine our every characteristic. Within any given population there should be a number of possible different genes that any one individual can have for any one characteristic. Let's say we are talking about eyelashes. The kind of eyelashes you have will be determined by the genes that you have that determine their characteristics. Long, short, thick, thin, dark, light and many other combinations, are all genetically determined. When changes occur in nature that might favor long eyelashes, those individuals with long eyelashes will survive more easily, while those with short eyelashes may not. It's an oversimplification, but it serves a purpose, so stick with me. Sometimes a species reaches a point where there is little genetic variation for a characteristic. In that case, all of the animals will have long eyelashes. When this occurs for many of that particular animal's genes it can be called a "genetic bottleneck." So what happens tomorrow if changes in nature make long eyelashes undesirable or downright deadly? That animal species, not having any other options because of a lack of variation in the gene, will die out, and quite possibly go extinct. So it's nothing to bat your eyelashes at!
Such is the plight of the fastest terrestrial animal in the world, the Cheetah. They may be fast but they can't outrun the trouble that is hidden in their genes. About 10,000 years ago a calamity caused the death of a major portion of the cheetah population. Those that survived all derived from a small group, leaving them with very little genetic variation. All cheetahs are so closely related that you can transplant skin from one cheetah to another without risk of rejection. Although it might seem to be a good thing, it really isn't. They are all at risk of the same diseases, and carry the same faulty traits. Male sperm quality is very poor making it harder for them to reproduce. 100 years ago there were over 100,000 cheetahs. Today, they number only about 12,000, and over half of cubs born to any given mother will not survive their first year. Add to that the problems associated with habitat loss, loss of potential prey, and losses due to hunting and the future for one of our favorite big cats isn't looking to rosy.
A mother cheetah and her fully grown cub cuddle in an area that has recently undergone a controlled Serengeti burn. It is dusk, light is low, and a large storm clouds have engulfed the area, swallowing up the remaining light. Rain is starting to fall, and clouds diffuse the evening sunset glow giving the skies an eerie, almost sinister look. The evening storm approaches quickly. They can't outrun it even with their great speed, just as they cannot outrun their lack of genetic diversity. Bigger storms lie ahead for the cheetah. Science and research may be their only savior. #iLoveNature #iloveWildlife #Wildlife in #Tanzania #Nature in #Africa #Serengeti #Cheetahs #DrDADBooks #Canon #WildlifeConservation

She is a postcard seller at Angkor Wat. She goes through countless rejections every day coz Angkor Wat is usually the last temple visited and tourists have bought their postcards earlier. I know that rejections are not supposed to be taken personally but still hurts....
ps: Thank you again for all the visits, comments and faves. Please take the time to visit other pictures in this series.
The next picture will be the last in the PEOPLE OF SIEM RIEP series.
Unrequited love features in Anglesey's Celtic heritage; St Dwynwen's rejection, by way of an arranged marriage, and the ruins of her church on Ynns Llanddwyn serves as a metaphor for her anguish. Her devotion became her spiritual calling as a nun at a convent on Ynns Llanddwyn during the 5th Century. The church is located on an island straight out of a Gothic film; Romantic, historic and slightly eerie! It's a compelling tale that arouses curiosity and attracts tourists from around the world.
In this photo I tried to capture the detail of the stones that contrasted with the back drop of clouds and blue sea.
