To be able to breathe out
ones unhappiness
to breathe out deeply
so that one can
breathe in again
And perhaps being able to speak out
ones unhappiness
in words
in real words
which are connected together
and make sense
and which oneself
still can understand
and which perhaps even
somebody else understands
or could understand
And to be able to cry
This again
nearly would be
happiness

And so to the M4-motorway . . .
and Terminal-3, at Heathrow.
Leslie has a charmed life ~ and she somehow managed to check in with TWO enormous cases, 7-kg over-weight (!) without incurring any excess-baggage charge !
With a long, lingering and tearful hug, our wonderful week was finally at an end.
And Flickr.com had forged another International Friendship which will last for a lifetime . . and Sweet Leslie declared that we are now FAMILY as well as FRIENDS.

An attempt to establish a video cable for a camera on a falcon nest is foiled by the cable becoming tangled in the tree and being spotted by the birds which were quick to check out this strange phenomenon in their territory. The cable was withdrawn to allow the birds to settle down and another attempt to film them will be made later.New Zealand's only endemic falcon and the only remaining bird of prey endemic to New Zealand. Other common names for the bird are Bush Hawk and Sparrow Hawk. A member of the Falconidae bird family, the New Zealand Falcon is mainly found in heavy bush and the steep high country in the South Island and is rarely seen north of a line through the central area of the North Island. A small population also breeds on the Auckland Islands. Although protected since 1970, it is considered to be a rare and vulnerable species. Heather and Robertson (Field Guiode to the Birds of New Zealand – Penguin) describe regional variation in the New Zealand falcon “ . . .three forms that differ in size colour and habitats: the ‘Bush Falcon’ of forests of the North Island and Northwestern South Island; the ‘Eastern Falcon’ of the open country of the eastern South Island; and the ‘Southern Falcon’ of coastal Fiordland, Stewart Island and the Auckland Islands”. From this I assume these birds are “bush falcons” and they certainly seem at home flying at high speed through the trees to flush their prey and capture it mid-air. An aggressive bird that displays great violence when defending its territory, the New Zealand Falcon has been reported to attack dogs as well as people.
With a wingspan of about 45 cm and weight rarely exceeding 450g. The male is about two thirds the size of the female.
The New Zealand Falcon nests in a scrape in grassy soil or humus in various locations: under a rock on a steep slope or on a rock ledge, among epiphytic plants on a tree branch, or under a log or branch on the ground, making chicks and eggs vulnerable to predators.
OK... not that I want to drag anyones night down with this, but I need some help with my homework! I do not watch the news. . . ever! And I am trying to write a paper and compare the HORRIBLE case of Sam Hose with a more recent act of racism. I know (or at least pray really hard) that there is nothing like the Sam Hose case going on in our country today, but I KNOW there is racism out there. I remember hearing a little of a story on my Sirus Radio, but I can't remember the poor guys name. I know he was tortured becasue of his race. SO... if any of my wonderful flickr friends can think of a recent act of racism... and can give me a name... me and google can do the rest!
Thank you!

Then on to Glen Innes to get a puncture fixed in the pouring rain. Found a pie shop that had run out of pies so put up with a crummy pastie and a coffee. Then south to get out of the rain at Guyra, had a snooze and it rained in my open window. On in the sunshine to past Armidale to Uralla for the night.
La Cappella dedicata a San Rocco fu edificata nel 1660 ma i materiali utilizzati sono tutti di reimpiego e provengono da un edificio più antico di chiara epoca paleocristiana.
La chiesetta ha inglobate nella muratura esterna molte sculture che si possono osservare girando attorno ad essa. Nella parte frontale si può notare un susseguirsi di archetti pensili che sono presenti anche sugli altri lati dell’edificio. Sul portone d’ingresso è ben visibile una fascia decorata con tre croci, due più piccole ed una più grande, che ricorda il Golgota: da ciò si può evincere che la croce più grande è quella di Gesù e che quelle più piccole si riferiscono a quelle dei due ladroni. Sotto alla lastra è inoltre visibile una figurina antropomorfa.
Scendendo con lo sguardo possiamo ammirare un’altra pietra scolpita che ritrae tre personaggi, (uno con l’aureola, forse Gesù). Appena sopra è visibile un pane (chiaro richiamo all’Eucarestia).
Sulla destra della facciata si nota una figura d’animale, probabilmente un agnello, sormontato da una lancia che a sua volta è sovrastata da due raffigurazioni che lasciano molto all’immaginazione. In basso, a destra nel muro, vi è un foro, forse un’apertura per poter accedere all’acqua Santa e farsi il segno di croce: il foro è contornato da cinque cerchi o segni circolari (poco leggibili) e in basso a sinistra è scolpito un pesce.
Sul lato destro della cappella si può osservare una finestra ad arco decorata con il giglio francese, un angelo e due pesci (che rafforzano la chiara simbologia cristiana). Sul lato sinistro è ben visibile il bassorilievo di un chiodo e nella parte centrale della parete fa bella mostra di sé un’altra finestra sovrastata da un arco di pietra con decorazioni floreali. Sui lati della finestra vi sono altri due blocchi rettangolari che hanno anch’essi delle decorazioni: il sinistro non è molto leggibile (segni floreali?), il destro raffigura una crocifissione, vista al contrario, con ai lati due chiavi, forse la crocifissione di San Pietro, a testa in giù. Questa raffigurazione è sormontata da una daga. Sul lato sinistro della parete, sono ben visibili quattro pesci. Il retro della chiesa pare essere spoglio da qual si voglia manufatto.

I went out on another Visual Realia photowalk this time to Hanover PA. Andy titled this one the “Sights, Sounds, and Tastes” photowalk because there were three distinct parts to the day.
The day began at the St. Matthew Lutheran Church. The church has within it a 14,000+ pipe organ that is among the largest in the country. Andy had arranged for Scott Fredericks (the church’s Minister of Music) to tell us about and demonstrate the organs capabilities followed by a “behind the scenes” tour of one of, what I’m calling, “the pipe room”. The church proper is also known for it’s stained glass windows so we had time to capture images to our heart’s content.

Empower Women to Counter Terrorism
Erbil, 03 August 2015 – “Women can be powerful poles for positive change and participate in innovative efforts to inform, shape and implement policies and programs to mitigate the effects of conflict and violent radicalization”, said Gyorgy Busztin, Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq (DSRSG), at the opening of the two-day National Conference on ‘Empowering Women to Address the Impact of Terrorism’.
The Conference, which brings together key government and United Nations officials, religious leaders, civil society representatives, and representatives of the international community, is jointly organized by the UN, the State Ministry of Women’s Affairs and the Kurdistan Region’s High Council of Women’s Affairs.
The conference will focus on the impact of violent extremism and terrorism on Iraqi women and girls, particularly those from minorities’ communities; empowering women to counter radicalization and combat terrorism; participation of women in social cohesion and reconciliation; creating opportunities to enhance women’s representation and participation in power and decision-making; the role of the media and the internet in countering extremism; effective partnering in implementing frameworks on women, peace and security; and the role of women in building peace.
Moreover, the Conference builds on the regional conference “Women’s Resistance to Extremism and Terrorism and their Struggle for Rights, Peace and Security”, held in May 2015 in Erbil and on the endorsement of the Special Emergency Plan on the Implementation of Security Council Resolution 1325 by the Council of Ministers in May as well. The Special Emergency Plan takes into consideration the impact of the current fight against ISIL on women, peace and security.
“Iraq is particularly well placed to host this conference, being the first country in the Middle East and North Africa region to have a National Action Plan to implement SCR 1325”, said DSRSG Busztin, while underscoring that “within families, women’s traditional roles allow them to shape familial and social norms and promote increased tolerance and non-violent political and civic engagement”.
“Countering terrorism policies need to take into account how terrorism impacts women and to ensure that they do not lead to negative and unintended consequences on women”, he stressed.
It is expected that the conference will adopt a set of recommendations outlining key actions to advance the women, peace and security agenda; ensure women participation in countering terrorism efforts; and prevent and respond to sexual violence in conflict.
The conference is a response to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2178 of September 2014, which called for the first time for the empowerment of women to counter violent extremism.

MASSIVE thanks to God and to Brother Graham Neads for the gift of, "Timothy Keller - His Spiritual and Intellectural Formation," by Collin Hansen.
Proverbs 2:4 says, "...and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure..." This left we wondering how you could treat the Scriptures as if searching for hidden treasure, or mining silver. Today, I got my first taste of one approach. Tim Keller was strongly influenced by Barabara Boyd - an austere woman of God who encouraged her students to dig deeper into the Word.
A challenge she gave to her students (which I gladly accepted today) was to take a verse - in this case, Mark 1:17 - and find 50 insights from that single verse. If you cannot read my picture, that is GOOD! This is because the joy in the exercise is in doing it for yourself. The verse says:
‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’
Using coloured pens to break up the verse into words and phrases, I found the thoughts flowed easily and delightfully - and I would recommend you have a go.
Barbara has a whole formulaic system that I found I didn't need once I'd decided to use coloured pens. This is a great way to dive deeper into the Word.
The fuller system includes:
1) Reading through the passage twice - slowing down on the second read through. I find it helpful to read the passage out loud because then you notice other matters. Perhaps put emphasis on different words...
2) Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? - six goodly honest questions that can open the text...
3) Notice words of contract, or of 'cause and effect', or words that are repeated...
4) Paraphrase the passage (and I'd recommend having a look at a translation like 'The Message' or, for the NT, J B Phillips)...
5) What questions do you have about the passage? Are they answered in the passage? Do you need help with historical, linguistic, or cultural aspects? If so, feel free to use a reference resource.
6) What's the overall theme?
7) Outline the flow of the passage - looking for movement from one section to another - note connections or even contrasts - key words to notice are 'and' as well as 'but' and 'so' and 'therefore' which give clues to the flow and sometime cause and effect.
8) How does the flow of the passage and what you've discovered about the history, language, or culture affect your interpretation? Does this change the overall theme?
9) So what does the passage mean? How does it apply to you? Is there something you need to change like the way you think or an action you need to take? What have you learned about yourself? What have you learned about God? What are the implicatons of this new grasp of the truth?
Yes, this is digging deeper and it takes time, but the rewards are well worth it!
I have recommendations about which coloured pens and nice paper to use if you'd like some!
