Mysterious Ways
the world is full of mysteries
full of magic and of wonder
there's so much more than what we see
can't explain the spell I am under

today's the 24th of dezember, which marks christmas eve and the day I was born, nineteen years ago.
I woke up early this morning with the weirdest feeling inside that I ever have when it's my birthday. but this time it was different. I had the feeling that something was wrong, that it is acceptable for me to get one year older.
a friend of mine just asked me how I'd feel to be nineteen now (she asked me that question as a joke, saying that she doesn't like to be ask that question every year). I replied that my self-esteem isn't growing as I don't have a job or a place to study yet. it rather makes me said to know that there's so much ahead and I haven't done anything of it in this past year. I want to go to university now, I want to have a job, I want to live on my own.
it's saddening as well that my brother was one step ahead as he was turning nineteen.
but I am pretty sure that I'm going to achieve all my goals set for the next year. I'll go to university as soon as I can and I will make my dreams come true.
as I stepped into the woods some days ago, the dog by my side, I came across this beautiful tree lying on the ground. I fell in love with its branches and the way they run. I liked it a lot to make it to a symbol of my life. for all the ways I've already walked in my past nineteen years and for all the ways lying ahead. I don't know which one I'll take but I think that each way will hold something for me.
to all the people who liked my art and supported me for what I am doing, I'd like to wish you a merry christmas and may all the dreams come true for you!
thank you all for the support. I love you as much as I can!
The ways wind around the hills and dales, they traverse valleys and encounter peaks and pinnacles always all ways lead one to the other and back around to The Mother. Gaia if you will and Gaia if you won’t, the Earth is alive we are part of the paths that litter and loiter, that picnic and pollute and in all of our ways to some we are unfulfilling her ways. Pre-determinate and Post-freewill the routes are taken and they form a language written and spoken, played out to the fall of feet and reverberated into the living thrumming beat.
the fresh forged face within the flame
found flickering forever in the frame

Which way to go? The shortest way, the straight one? Or the most beautiful? Or the one that leads to the ocean? Or towards the sun? Which way to go?
There are only two mistakes one can make along the way to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

At some places in Shanghai the word "highway" may be taken literally. Such as here, where the Nanbei Gaojia Lu (南北高架路 = South-North Elevated Road), runs above Chongqing Road.

EVERY WHICH WAY
I recently came across the term "pure" to describe an image captured using a particular set of parameters as applied to a type of photographic technique, Intentional Camera Movement (ICM). The inference was that this particular set of "pure" parameters is the One, True Right Way to capture and process ICM images for them to be designated as "pure" ICM.
I reject this sort of description. I have no problem with delineating styles, such as 'this image was captured with one exposure without major post-processing', but calling it "pure" is like calling any type of photography after Joseph Nicéphore Niépce "impure".
The term "pure" suggests that anything less or more is unreal, sullied, false, unchaste, corrupt. What I find interesting is that these sorts of censures and invectives were also unleashed on the Impressionists whose artistic styles those practicing ICM attempt to portray.
I feel that there are enough divisions in our world of disarray and that finding merit in each other's attempts at creating beauty should be embraced whether it fits into a concocted construct or frees those bounds and asks "what if?"
Be Still - Week 41
For Week 40 Make&Take, I decorated Easter eggs with feathers. For Week 41 Take-3 ways, I made a bunting with the same feathers.

There are several ways to enter the City of Conway. Several highways and roads, and the river. The river might be the most scenic, but watch your wake!
