Sanctuary: Church Interiors

I miss autumn with its gorgeous colors, now that winter is here. This painting is created from a photo that I took of one of the deer that used my backyard like a sanctuary in the days before we had to fence it off for my dog, Emmy. I don't miss the deer eating my flowers however :)

Peaceful Saturday
Trees have long thoughts, long-breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours. They are wiser than we are, as long as we do not listen to them. But when we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness.
― Hermann Hesse

Aspyn, in a willow.
After work, today, I went into the garden to chill out for a wee while. It’s been a few days since I was able to do this as it’s been very wet and windy. Today, though, it was mild and calm.
Aspyn was pleased as she would run around, stalk a fallen leaf, scale some trees, and the amble over to me for a chat and a cuddle. A lovely way to relax and power down.
In my garden,

“And the world, the world turns around
And the world and the world, the world drags me down…
The fire in your eyes keeps me alive
And the fire in your eyes keeps me alive
I'm sure in her you'll find sanctuary
I'm sure in her you'll find sanctuary.”

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.

Su questa montagna visse gli ultimi anni della sua vita una giovane nobildonna, tale Rosalia, la quale aveva deciso di vivere da eremita.
Morì il 4 settembre del 1160 o 1165.
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.

While walking along a scenic seaside trail it came to an end with signs signifying that this area ahead of me was a migratory bird sanctuary/breeding area and human presence was prohibited along with threats of severe fines for violation. I was disappointed for otherwise I had my eyes set on those dunes up ahead for getting shots and respecting the purpose of the area and also not wanting risked getting severe fines as I saw park rangers knocking about in the area I just took this shot from the sanctuary's edge.
Whilst jungle cats are listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, they are still mainly threatened by destruction of wetlands, trapping and poisoning.

There was some kind of glitch over the years and every pic in the gallery is the same but if you click on the pic, you will see the original artwork.
The photo before this one shows the outside of this 25-foot sculpture by Marc Fornes, names "Pine Sanctuary.". You can walk under the sculpture into the inside, where the delaminated, double-layered skin provides rich colors, as well as shadows and speckled light. Inside and out, no section ever repeats itself, you see a new, unique angle with every step.
There is something about simplistic photos that just captures my heart. Perhaps it is just the reminder that sometimes in "quiet" or simplistic there is a strength, one that never needs to be explained .. it is just there. . Regardless I just love it .. :). Hope any of that makes sense.
Photo was taken from:
MOTORHEADZ CAFE / Route66, High Level (111, 128, 22)
Yay I finally got here .. :).
"In a wild embrace of natures sanctuary, the angel surrenders to the forest's allure, bare and unbound. With every step, she plucks flowers, their delicate touch igniting a primal fire within. Adorned in nature's embrace, she weaves a sensuous symphony of petals, intertwining passion and desire, as the forest whispers its secrets to her unveiled soul.

The main sanctuary of City Methodist Church in Gary, Indiana.
A lone flower bouquet sits on the ruins of the main hall of the church. As you can see the roof totally caved in and buried the main podium where the pastor preached and lead prayers. As we wandered in this empty space, I could see loose pieces of wood hanging peculiarly from the ceiling.
Can you spot my new friend?

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.

You know I will always welcome you back, come on in, out of the rain.
I spent a lot of a rainy summer afternoon in and out of the church porch, waiting for the rain to stop. How many people have turned this handle over the years, seeking sanctuary.
Glynde Church, East Sussex, England.
