Monte Pellegrino has always been considered a sacred mountain by the people of Palermo.

 

On this mountain lived the last years of his life a young noblewoman, a certain Rosalia, who had decided to live as a hermit.

 

He died on 4 September 1160 or 1165.

 

On July 15, 1624, while the plague was scourging Palermo, Rosalia's bones were found in a cave in the mountain. The relics were carried in procession and the plague was defeated. Rosalia became the patron saint of the city, the “Santuzza”, and the Sanctuary was built around the cave.

Il 15 Luglio 1624, mentre la peste flagellava Palermo, le ossa di Rosalia furono ritrovate in una grotta della montagna. Le reliquie furono portate in processione e la peste venne sconfitta. Rosalia divenne la santa patrona della città, la “Santuzza”, e attorno alla grotta venne eretto il Santuario.

Evening falling on the harbour, St Ives, Cornwall

As I age in the world it will rise and spread,

and be for this place horizon

and orison, the voice of its winds.

I have made myself a dream to dream

of its rising, that has gentled my nights.

Let me desire and wish well the life

these trees may live when I

no longer rise in the mornings

to be pleased with the green of them

shining, and their shadows on the ground,

and the sound of the wind in them.

Cedar Lutheran Church closed years ago, but is still well maintained.

I kept passing by

Every day for years

What could you offer me

I wondered

Only tears

You’re just for weddings

Funerals and fears

But a day comes

When all that disappears

Nothing matters

When all thoughts stop

And you are on the edge of a drop

A precipice of denial

Lean one way

I’ll be fine

Lean the other

No I’m not

I wanted my thoughts

In some sort of order

Help me please

Before it’s all over

I went inside and had a look

I got more than what I bargained for

Unconditional love and much more

A small quiet ask

Was all it took

Conversations about many things

And now I know

You were always listening to me

You knew me

You saw me

Right from the beginning

  

The beautiful gateway to Glynde Church in Sussex, UK, has not changed for many years, except that the gates need to be refitted to the porch. Money is always needed for restoration. Images from the past in black & white and sepia still show this entrance, so I thought I would take my own in homage.

Thanks for dropping by and have a great week! 😊

During a recent snowfall this deer took sanctuary beneath an evergreen tree in my garden. I felt very cozy in my home watching the silent snow fall, and it was lovely to see this fellow creature in a place of safety.

A little while ago my dear friend Syd Specter gave me a sneak peek at a new, as yet unreleased pack of skies. It's called 'Warm Sun', I've been playing with them all week and I just have to say I am so, so impressed with the level of detail in them. The clouds are so beautifully rendered, they offer layers of depth I'm not sure I could have achieved previously without blending numerous skies together. As an artist she really does just keep getting better and better. I am a very lucky bork to have such a talented friend.
