Went to visit my Common Loon pair this morning to rekindle our friendship. The moment we locked eyes I knew they recognized me from the previous years. The Loon either likes you or it doesn't, It's that simple and very transparent. They were quite calm and relaxed with me. I usually place my kayak in their territory and wait. Within minutes they pop up like Jack-in-the-box. I wished them a successful job raising their young this year and was on my way. This time they came up real close to my kayak for their portrait. I wonder if people were more transparent would we like it as much. Probably not, I notice people rarely want to hear the truth they much rather be pacified with little white lies....or half truths. I bite my tongue a lot. So much so the Natives would probably call me "Sore tongue". lol The "Truth Seeker" has his work cut out for him that's for sure.

Transparency, as used in business, the humanities and in other social contexts, implies openness, communication, and accountability. Transparency is operating in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are performed. It has been defined simply as "the perceived quality of intentionally shared information from a sender"

What's our mission

Do we know

But never listen

For too long

They held me under

But I hear

It's almost over

In Detroit

On a Memphis train

Like you said it's

Down in the heat and the summer rain of

The automatic gauze of your memories

Down in the sleep at the airplane races

Try to hold on

To this heart

A little bit longer

Try to hold on

To this love aloud

Try to hold on

For this heart's

A little bit colder

Try to hold on

To this love

Paperback scrawl your hidden poems

Written around the dried out flowers

Here we are still trading places

To try to hold on

Pop tart

Can you envision

A free world

Of clear division

For too long

They held us under

But I know

We're getting over

In Detroit

With the Nashville tears

Like you said it's

Down in the heat with the broken numbers

Down in the gaze of solemnity

Down in the way you've held together

To try to hold on

To this heart

A little bit closer

Try to hold on

To this love aloud

Try to hold on

For this heart's

A little bit older

Try to hold on

To this love aloud

And we are still alive

Try to hold on

And we have survived

Try to hold on

And no one should deny

We tried to hold on to the pulse of the feedback current

Into the flow of encrypted movement

Slapback kills the ancient remnants

That try to hold on

Try to hold on

To this heart alive

Try to hold on

To this love aloud

Try to hold on

And we are still alive

Try to hold on

And we have survived

Try to hold on

Pop tart

You never listen

Skinned knees

Try to hold on

Stop start

What's our mission

Skinned knees

Try to hold on

Lyon-Saint-Exupéry TGV station, formerly Satolas-TGV, is a TGV train station located 20 km from Lyon, in the Rhône department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It serves Lyon-Saint-Exupéry Airport.

 

The station was opened in 1994 by the French National Railway Company (SNCF) with the commercial launch of the LGV Rhône-Alpes high-speed line (the second link in the high-speed rail line connecting Paris to Marseille).

 

The station, designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava Valls (one of his first major projects) in collaboration with the SNCF's station design agency, is a reinforced concrete structure with a steel roof, resembling a bird taking flight.

 

The central hall, located transversely to the rails, is covered by a large metal framework forming two flared wings on either side.

La gare de Lyon-Saint-Exupéry TGV, anciennement Satolas-TGV, est une gare ferroviaire TGV située à 20 km de Lyon, dans le département du Rhône, en région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Elle dessert l'aéroport de Lyon-Saint-Exupéry.

 

La gare est mise en service en 1994 par la Société nationale des chemins de fer français (SNCF) lors de l'ouverture commerciale de la LGV Rhône-Alpes (second maillon de la ligne à grande vitesse reliant Paris à Marseille).

 

La gare, conçue par l'architecte espagnol Santiago Calatrava Valls (dont c'est un des premiers projets majeurs) associé à l'agence d'étude des gares de la SNCF, est un ouvrage en béton armé couvert d'un toit en acier et perçu comme un oiseau prenant son envol.

Het TGV-station Lyon-Saint-Exupéry, voorheen Satolas-TGV, ligt op 20 km van Lyon, in het departement Rhône van de regio Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Het station bedient de luchthaven Lyon-Saint-Exupéry.

 

Het station werd in 1994 geopend door de Franse nationale spoorwegmaatschappij (SNCF) bij de commerciële lancering van de hogesnelheidslijn LGV Rhône-Alpes (de tweede schakel in de hogesnelheidslijn tussen Parijs en Marseille).

 

Het station, ontworpen door de Spaanse architect Santiago Calatrava Valls (een van zijn eerste grote projecten) in samenwerking met het stationsontwerpbureau van de SNCF, is een constructie van gewapend beton met een stalen dak, dat doet denken aan een vogel die opvliegt.

 

De centrale hal, die dwars op de sporen ligt, wordt overdekt door een groot metalen frame dat aan weerszijden twee uitlopende vleugels vormt.
