Da : 'Smisurata preghiera' , ultimo brano dell'ultimo disco di De André, quasi il messaggio definitivo.
Il 18 febbraio 1940 nasceva a Genova Pegli Fabrizio de André. Avrebbe avuto 82 anni
Tornando a casa, tramonto tra i rami spogli dei platani e i tetti di Genova
..... For those who travel
in stubborn and opposed direction,
with their special mark
of special desperation....
.... To bring a drop of splendour
to death, a drop of humanity
and truth....
( Fabrizio De André, Unbounded prayer )

Theme: Visceral - Roniit
This was a RP from 2016 between the characters Lucian and Amelsonte. Lucian had been assigned to keep her safe after a King's castle that he and a friend were visiting on some errand had been attacked. Hiding in a cave some ways away from the battle, Lucian spoke to Amelsonte of his skepticism of seers. He hears her story, but the reluctance of him to believe her, as well as the betrayal of her trust would result in a familial curse put upon him. This curse may be unbounded if Lucian's descendant from modern times can help a current woman born from the family line of Amelsonte's get out of her current troubles.

Ricorda Signore questi servi disobbedienti alle leggi del branco,
non dimenticare il loro volto...
Tonight we'll lie beneath the sky, my darling; beneath galaxies and a sky of infinite stars. Does it make you feel small?
If happiness were quantifiable, and you were given a small vial of it, would you choose to swallow it quickly and live a week of unbounded, incomparable joy, or would you ration it over a lifetime, and spend your life lazily content but never having experienced true, true happiness? Why am I asking?
"Just makes you wonder, who's driving this crazy bus anyway?"

Cumulus cloud
Small cumulus humilis clouds floating over cloud that can have noticeable vertical development and clearly defined edges.
Cumulo- means "heap" or "pile" in Latin. Cumulus clouds are often described as "puffy", "cotton-like" or "fluffy" in appearance, and have flat bases. Cumulus clouds, being low-level clouds, are generally less than 1,000 m (3,300 ft) in altitude unless they are the more vertical cumulus congestus form. Cumulus clouds may appear by themselves, in lines, or in clusters.
Cumulus clouds are often precursors of other types of cloud, such as cumulonimbus, when influenced by weather factors such as instability, moisture, and temperature gradient. Normally, cumulus clouds produce little or no precipitation, but they can grow into the precipitation-bearing congestus or cumulonimbus clouds. Cumulus clouds can be formed from water vapor, supercooled water droplets, or ice crystals, depending upon the ambient temperature. They come in many distinct subforms, and generally cool the earth by reflecting the incoming solar radiation. Cumulus clouds are part of the larger category of free-convective cumuliform clouds, which include cumulonimbus clouds. The latter genus-type is sometimes categorized separately as cumulonimbiform due to its more complex structure that often includes a cirriform or anvil top. There are also cumuliform clouds of limited convection that comprise stratocumulus (low-étage), altocumulus (middle-étage) and cirrocumulus. (high-étage). These last three genus-types are sometimes classified separately as stratocumuliform.
Formation
Cumulus clouds form via atmospheric convection as air warmed by the surface begins to rise. As the air rises, the temperature drops (following the lapse rate), causing the relative humidity (RH) to rise. If convection reaches a certain level the RH reaches one hundred percent, and the "wet-adiabatic" phase begins. At this point a positive feedback ensues: since the RH is above 100%, water vapour condenses, releasing latent heat, warming the air and spurring further convection.
In this phase, water vapor condenses on various nuclei present in the air, forming the cumulus cloud. This creates the characteristic flat-bottomed puffy shape associated with cumulus clouds. The size of the cloud depends on the temperature profile of the atmosphere and the presence of any inversions. During the convection, surrounding air is entrained (mixed) with the thermal and the total mass of the ascending air increases. Rain forms in a cumulus cloud via a process involving two non-discrete stages. The first stage occurs after the droplets coalesce onto the various nuclei. Langmuir writes that surface tension in the water droplets provides a slightly higher pressure on the droplet, raising the vapor pressure by a small amount. The increased pressure results in those droplets evaporating and the resulting water vapor condensing on the larger droplets. Due to the extremely small size of the evaporating water droplets, this process becomes largely meaningless after the larger droplets have grown to around 20 to 30 micrometres, and the second stage takes over. In the accretion phase, the raindrop begins to fall, and other droplets collide and combine with it to increase the size of the raindrop. Langmuir was able to develop a formula which predicted that the droplet radius would grow unboundedly within a discrete time period.

The axe heads are not represented attached to a haft and seem to be outlined as essential form rather than actual function. Grouping each axe head with a second mirror example creates a new icon once further removed from practical use. This Gavrinis axe cluster display, from between 7 and 6000 years ago, is set within the animation that ripples from within the parallel and unbounded lines.

Suddenly I'm as if cast out,
and this solitude surrounds me
as something vast and unbounded,
when my feeling, standing on the hills
of my breasts, cries out for wings
or for an end.

Chalice Well Gardens, Glastonbury, Somerset.
The Chalice Well is among the best known and most loved holy wells in Britain. Many legends are attributed to its chalybeate waters, which flow ceaselessly at a steady rate and temperature that never varies. Not least among these is that they represent the blood of Christ miraculously springing forth from the ground when Joseph of Arimathea buried or washed the cup used at the Last Supper. For others the waters are acknowledged as the essence of life, the gift from Mother Earth to sustain its living forms and so a continuous spring like Chalice Well is a direct expression of an unbounded life force.
To safeguard and protect this place the Chalice Well Trust was established in 1959 by Wellesley Tudor Pole to enable visitors and pilgrims to receive inspiration and refreshment from the waters and gardens.
The cosmic sense must have been born as soon as man found himself facing the forest, the sea and the stars. And since then we find evidence of it in all our experience of the great and unbounded: in art, in poetry, in religion. Through it we react to the world as a whole as with our eyes to the light.
-Human Energy, Teilhard de Chardin

Eric Ravilious watercolourist, painted this scene 'Cuckmere Haven' in 1939. The classic oxbow lake is the largest and most distinctive in Europe. In 1847 the river was diverted from its original meander into a new channel from Exceat straight to the sea to drain the flood plain for cattle grazing. Geography teachers wet themselves with unbounded excitement when they behold this wondrous topographical spectacle although the South Downs National Park Authority plans to return the land to natural wetland at some time in the future and the oxbow will disappear. I took this photograph as a tribute to Eric Ravilious, one of the greatest watercolour artists of the C20th. His son, the late James Ravilious became a photographer and left a legacy of images which can be found at beafordarchive.org/photographer-category/james-ravilious/ the most comprehensive body of work on rural England ever undertaken.
To believe yourself to be anything other than awareness requires imagination, thoughts, concepts, using subjective experiences as the benchmark. But to be aware is a direct, non conceptual fact. Based on this fact alone, the Self is pure awareness.
- You are pure awareness!

Long evenng view across boulder-filled alpine meadows toward distant peaks, Yosemite National Park.
This area is one I’ve visited many times — in fact I used to make an annual ritual out of returning. This place and others like it provide a rare and wonderful thing, the opportunity to wander alone, unbounded by trails, across a vast wilderness landscape, going wherever my interest and abilities may take me.
Recently I have had reason to review photographs from over a decade of visits to the Sierra backcountry with a group of fellow photographers (sometimes referred to as the “First Light group) with whom I’ve been fortunate to share many a golden hour. It is hard to be definitive about when this began, but in this case there are some clear markers in the timeline. Shortly before making this photograph back in 2008 I had just descended from a lake in a rocky hanging valley when I encountered a photographer heading in my direction. The photographers was a part of the group, and after Keith and I spoke briefly we each went our separate ways. Mine took me to this area of open meadows and long vistas as the day ended. As such, this might be considered among first photographs to emerge from this association.

just a small hi from the off! I will be back on 5th of June!
Thanks and love to all! <3
If you remain still, without paying attention to this, without paying attention to that and without paying attention to anything at all, you will, simply through your powerful attention to being, become the reality, the vast "I", the unbounded space of consciousness.

The Sea and the Hills
Rudyard Kipling
Who hath desired the Sea? - the sight of salt water unbounded -
The heave and the halt and the hurl and the crash of the comber wind-hounded?
The sleek-barrelled swell before storm, grey, foamless, enormous, and growing
Stark calm on the lap of the Line or the crazy-eyed hurricane blowing -
His Sea in no showing the same - his Sea and the same 'neath each showing:
His Sea as she slackens or thrills?
So and no otherwise - so and no otherwise - hillmen desire their Hills!
Who hath desired the Sea ? - the immense and contemptuous surges?
The shudder, the stumble, the swerve, as the star-stabbing bowsprit emerges?
The orderly clouds of the Trades, the ridged, roaring sapphire thereunder -
Unheralded cliff-haunting flaws and the headsail's low-volleying thunder -
His Sea in no wonder the same - his Sea and the same through each wonder:
His Sea as she rages or stills?
So and no otherwise - so and no otherwise - hillmen desire their Hills.
Who hath desired the Sea? Her menaces swift as her mercies?
The in-rolling walls of the fog and the silver-winged breeze that disperses?
The unstable mined berg going South and the calvings and groans that declare it -
White water half-guessed overside and the moon breaking timely to bare it -
His Sea as his fathers have dared - his Sea as his children shall dare it:
His Sea as she serves him or kills?
So and no otherwise - so and no otherwise - hillmen desire their Hills.
Who hath desired the Sea? Her excellent loneliness rather
Than forecourts of kings, and her outermost pits than the streets where men gather
Inland, among dust, under trees - inland where the slayer may slay him -
Inland, out of reach of her arms, and the bosom whereon he must lay him -
His Sea from the first that betrayed - at the last that shall never betray him:
His Sea that his being fulfils?
So and no otherwise - so and no otherwise - hillmen desire their Hills.
dear friends!! so soon, these december days will end... and a new year will begin. during these days, let us remember the practices by which we cultivate the awakening heart...
a loving-kindness meditation:
as a mother, at the risk of her life,
watches over her only child,
let us cherish an unbounded mind
for all living beings.
let us have love for the whole world,
and develop an unbounded mind,
above, below and all around,
boundless heart of goodwill, free of hatred,
standing, walking, sitting or lying down,
so long as we be awake,
let us cherish this thought,
this is called divine abiding here.
adapted from the karaniyametta sutta
may all travelers find joy!!

"Life. It's such a small word for such a great, limitless and unbounded concept. We believe that life in all its forms, all its shapes and sizes, is sacred.
Every life, no matter how fleeting or small, is worth celebrating. And any life, when lost, is worth mourning. We show our love to the departed by showing our respect to the living."
A very interesting series that had been published during the spring of this year. If you haven't read this series, do check it out. If you want it in one shot, you could always wait for the TPB in spring of 2016. Savior follows the story surrounding the origin or quite possibly the downfall of a mysterious character.
There is a certain time, within a certain search
seeking mind over matter under jurisdiction
a quest for unfound peace unlamented
left alone for too long, a 'junk'-like shadow spells
as much as a timeless word unbounded
free from autumn's junta now awaiting spring's justice
oh! nothing can falsify increasing light in our days
dirigible views stem from renewed clues of vision
over and over again climbing, a disciple of nature
a myriad of emotions may pass into one true union
of hope, I dearly hope to see to such pellucid scope
from nature's sincerity and atmospheric spellbinding
tints and hues that imbue our tomorrow's and on
circulating the senses allowing the light of tranquility
flicking the switch from whence trancedental hope is drawn
a conqueror of all reason and veracity of natural notion
from a velvet breath a fragrant surmising is called
for real, a silken suture addresses wounded surrounds
easing pains and surviving them, like a rivulet -
of oceanic power, one pulse esteemably resounds.

Here's an odd photo collage I worked on years ago for one of my art jewelry projects that I thought I'd share.
At the time it seemed to be about trying to survive as an artist and musician (and perhaps about rising tides from global warming).
Today it strikes me as an appropriate allegory to almost everything going on--as a people we are collectively drowning in misinformation, division, fear, smoke, violent storms, a damaged environment, a deadly virus, inequalities, too much "stuff" and the list goes on.
I miss the calm, the unity, the kindness, the decency. As someone trying to overcome cancer I don't need this kind stress and I suspect, either do you.
But there's also hope in this image just as there is underneath all the world's troubles. The human heart that holds unbounded love is beating and glowing. There's still a chance to rescue those things we value when we work together.
Po Toi Island, Hong Kong (蒲台島, 香港).
In a night with stars, Akashiya Moka was sitting by the seashore, while the summer milky way was shining brightly in the sky, just like an archway of heaven.
A new photo of my Figure × Tilt-Shift photography. This is a 7-frame panorama photo using my PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED lens for perspective regulation. Like all my former portrait photos with the starry sky this photo is the result of multiple exposure and manual HDR work. I hope you will enjoy this 2.35:1 ratio photo and feel the unboundedness and eternity of the universe.

O! Ocean, seat of gems so precious
And riches not yet measured.
What treasures you keep, for whom?
From where have you acquired so much
You are a vast expanse like the sky,
Limitless, impregnable and fierce
But yet, though boiling aqua today
Where you not vapour yesterday
And ice benumbing tomorrow be ?
You are the source and means of life,
Benign mother of the protoplasm.
Rich in food rare and costly, nay
Everything big, small useful or not
Is in your stock, in that womb,
Unbounded, held under your sway
In contradiction to the laws of nature.
Why ? you are nature itself.
Is there one to enforce law on you ?
Wonderful are your ways O! Ocean.
At times calm and composed you remain,
At times you ebb and sweep like a train;
Now you roar like a lion,
Now you lisp like a lamb too nice;
Playing still the music of the waves.
Though in that inner heart is eternal peace
To me you are the dark blue ocean
To your frost white, but no colour you own.
An embodiment you are
Of bounteousness and generosity.
As the Lord supreme and mighty,
It is the cool refreshing air, I know
Your life breath itself, you give,
That sustains life in the universe,
What to speak of your salinity,
That enlivens the entire living world
And savours the dishes of the poor and rich alike
