We’re coming to understand this incredible intelligence. Silence is God’s language. If you just be silent you pick up by osmosis God’s attitude We’re dealing with an infinite intelligence that is totally penetrated by a love that is probably inconceivable to us. And its coming to understand the stages of this love that are available to human beings that is the work of contemplation. It’s not just a method of prayer. In fact, it goes beyond all methods. It’s a relationship hence, it has a spontaneity that begins perhaps first in prayer for most people, then begins to weave its way into all kinds of activity that seem most trivial. One begins to see that God is in everything, and perceive the goodness of everything for that very reason. And as this forms, you feel a deeper silence that might be called spaciousness. There’s nothing, except a certain vibrancy and aliveness You’re awake!! But awake to what, you don’t know. But you’re awake to something that is absolutely marvelous and totally generous. And manifests itself with increasing tenderness and sweetness and intimacy. So one feels embraced by God interiorly or kissed or held. The divine grace has us looking at life from the perspective of divine wisdom. The only condition is to give consent. To say “Yes”.

Ship graveyard in Bangladesh

One of the most polluted places on earth is considered the “ship graveyard” in Bangladesh. Every year, more than two hundred ships find their last refuge here and provide jobs for local residents. All decommissioned ships understand to the last screw. This is done in appalling conditions and for a ridiculous reward, but due to the lack of alternatives, people agree to such work.

Читтагонг- один из крупнейших в мире центров по слому кораблей. Здесь одновременно работало до 200000 человек.

После Второй мировой войны судостроение стало переживать небывалый подъем, огромное количество металлических кораблей строилось по всему миру и все больше – в развивающихся странах. Однако вскоре возник вопрос по утилизации отработавших свое кораблей. Более экономичней и выгодней оказалось производить разбор старых кораблей на металлолом в бедных развивающихся странах, где десятки тысяч низкооплачиваемых трудящихся демонтировали старые корабли в несколько раз дешевле, чем в Европе.

Плюс ко всему немаловажную роль сыграли такие факторы, как строгие требования охраны здоровья и окружающей среды, дорогостоящие страховки. Все это сделало слом кораблей в развитых европейских странах невыгодным. Здесь такая деятельность ограничивается, в основном, утилизацией военных судов.

Утилизация старых судов в развитых странах в настоящее время чрезвычайно высока также из-за дороговизны: стоимость утилизации токсичных веществ, таких как асбест, ПХБ и содержащих свинец и ртуть — зачастую выше, чем стоимость металлолома.

Одним из самых загрязненных мест на земле считается «кладбище кораблей» в Бангладеше. Ежегодно, более двухсот кораблей находят здесь свое последнее пристанище и обеспечивают работой местных жителей. Все списанные корабли разбираются до последнего винтика. Делается это в ужасающих условиях и за смешное вознаграждение, но из-за отсутствия альтернатив люди соглашаются и на такую работу.

Прежде чем начинается основная работа, корабль доставляют в Читтагонг и сажают на мель. Далее снимают и сливают все, до чего дотянутся: начиная топливом и маслом, заканчивая мебелью и оборудованием. Все материалы отправляются на переработку.

История этого места начинается в 1960 году. Именно в этом году судно Alpine после шторма было выброшено на берег. Попытки снять его с мели не привели к положительным результатам и через пять лет корабль списали. Судно купила местная компания и при помощи дешевой рабочей силы разобрала на металлолом. И уже в 90-х годах здесь образовался один из крупнейших центров по утилизации кораблей.

Flower in the crannied wall

I pluck you out of the crannies

I hold you here root and all in my hand.

Little flower but if I could understand

what you are, root and all in all

Then I should know what God and man is.

Three-wattled bellbird, Male DSC_5518 by Beverly Thornburgh

61 22

I understand my family and I were very lucky tourists the day we saw this beauty. First, the trail we wanted to hike was closed because the company only gives night hike tours as far as we could tell upon arrival. There wasn't anyone at reception and there wasn't any information to read about the operation hours of the trail.

However, as luck was on our side, an employee stopped by for a moment and we asked if we could hike on our own. So the employee made a call and said yes, we can go and only charged us eight dollars each.

During that hike we saw a lot of Blue Morpho butterflies flitting about and other butterflies but I don't know what those were. We also got to watch leaf cutter ants as they marched from the leaves to the ant hill. That ant hill is enormous.

Not far into the hike, this guy started calling and of course we followed the calls. He was pretty far up in the tree but I did manage to get a couple of images before he flew out of sight.

We mentioned the sighting to a tour guide on a different hike and he stated that people come from all over the world to try and see this bird. However, most of the tourists go home with out even a glimpse of him. The tour guide was excited for us and said like most tourists, he has not seen one except in photographs.

So yes indeed, my family and I feel very fortunate for having the opportunity to see and hear this beauty in the wild.

May good fortune be with you today and always. Happy snapping.

Commitment by Charly Keeley-Keating

177 72

If you see a married couple still in love through the

years, you may think how lucky they are.

But in marital relations, there is no such thing as

luck.

They made many compromises, they overlooked each others faults.

They forgave many mistakes, and endured many problems.

They spent years learning to understand one another.

Love has never been a matter of luck, its a mutual giving

compromise, shared dreams, care, respect, mercy and patience.

*Thank you Adrian for sticking with this bag of bones for decades....I love the new home, I love the beautiful gardens you masterfully set down, and I love you.

*No landmark, taken at our new beautiful home!

Pose is from Ardent Poses

*Back Ground Texture from ANNA LEIBMAN
