At the time of the synaxis (gathering), when the spirit of despondency attacks you, he suggests to your soul that psalmody is wearisome, and with the greatest zeal he hurls reluctance as an opponent to zeal, so that the soul in a great hurry hands the flesh over to the memory that it is exhausted for some reason or other. When we keep vigil at night, therefore, let us not surrender the synaxis to despondency, lest the demons who stand around collect the weeds of thought and sow them at once in the heart. For when we destroy the collection of hymns, then we gather together the collection of thoughts.

I was actually planning on creating a totally different image for this week, but loved this as soon as I shot it. It reminded me of what direction I was wanting to take my photography, I had this idea a couple of years ago, of creating characters that lived in this lost in between place. A world that changes you, if only you can survive it. That's where most of my characters live, but you normally only see the dark effect and not the beginning. This character has yielded to this dark place; and with one fingertip, she has surrendered herself completely.

Found in the back yard; there are the perfect number of leaves - not so many that they need to be raked, but more than enough to serve as photographic subjects. :-)
Kyiv - Never Surrender by Daniel Arrhakis (2022)
A Free People never surrenders to unscrupulous liars and Assassin Dictators ! Glory And Peace to Ukraine!
With the music : "Above and Beyond" from the Audiomachine GREATEST HITS release
A creative inspirational fantasy using stock images and images of mine. Elements modified and recreated.
The Building is the "House with Chimaeras" in Kyiv, Ukraine: An Art Nouveau building covered in animal gargoyles and grotesques.
The Polish architect Władysław Horodecki originally constructed the House with Chimaeras for use as his own upmarket apartment building during the period of 1901–1902.
Horodecki's unique architectural style earned him praise as the Antoni Gaudí of Kyiv.

Ahhhhh, I'm at the beach. And I wasn't all that excited at first, but then I saw it. OH GOD IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
Swimming in the ocean is awesome. The sunsets are amazing. (I'm by the Gulf of Mexico so the sun actually sets on this side)
It's really gorgeous... <3
This was actually post-sunset. The colors lingered in the sky for quite some time. djsjfksjdfkjds <3

The remains of an old lead smelting mill on the moors between Arkengarthdale and Swaledale. It replaced two earlier watermills on the site and operated from the mid to late 19th century.

Surrender to everything that is. It's not to be confused with giving up. For surrendering requires at the same time the greatest courage but is expressed in the smallest shifts. Sometimes barely noticeable through our sensory perspectives considering the great change these small shifts bring about. It's a matter of scale. We sometimes feel stuck in this box where bugs are small and trees are big, forgetting how everything is relative and not everything resides inside the box. We don’t learn (or we forget) how thoughts are energy, just as much as our actions in the material world. The same goes the other way around, when we attribute too much to physical action and even feel trapped by our own inaction at times, all the while being unaware that the world is still spinning and nothing is ever standing still. Trust the process. Let the waves wash.
