.... Oui, tout est à faire jaillir de la lumière pour étendre la liberté, la liberté de tous. Nous sommes au matin de l'aventure fabuleuse, avec nos outils de préhistoire, nos goûts de caverne, nos vieux démons.
Nous manquent la fraîcheur des sources, le renouveau des fleuves, la fraternité des oiseaux. Nous manque le plus simple que nous avons relégué aux oubliettes. Il est encore temps d'aller aux fontaines, il est encore temps d'ouvrir nos portes, de trancher les secondes comme un fruit puis de les offrir en partage, d'affirmer la terre comme notre seule patrie.
Nous avons négligé le simple pour l'insignifiant, nous avons choisi l'or qui tâche les mains au lieu de l'amour qui est sans prix.
Nous avons choisi la haine, la rancœur, l'amertume et nous ne sommes plus que de maigres feux éteints dans la lande.
Oui, je vois des incendies, des désastres partout et quelques pauvres gens qui osent encore, osent encore dire Non mais l'on n'entend même plus leurs voix perdues dans notre nuit commune.

Soak up the sun
Affirm life’s magic
Be graceful in the wind
Stand tall after a storm
Feel refreshed after it rains
Grow strong without notice
Be prepared for each season
Provide shelter to strangers
Hang tough through a cold spell
Emerge renewed at the first signs of spring
Stay deeply rooted while reaching for the sky
Be still long enough to
hear your own leaves rustling.
["Think Like a Tree" by Karen Shrag]

“But our trip was different. It was a classic affirmation of everything right and true and decent in the national character. It was a gross, physical salute to the fantastic possibilities of life in this country-but only for those with true grit. And we were chock full of that.”
Inspired by the AMAZE film Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.

Affirmer sa solitude revient à aborder sa peur, surtout la peur de mourir, et à mesurer sa propre puissance.

Je pense à l'arbre qui pense à moi, oui, je l'affirme.
De son immense tronc, large comme un fleuve, il recueille tout ce qui s'offre à lui.
En premier lieu les vents, les oiseaux, les neiges, les pluies, les visages assombris d'indifférence.
j'entends la musique des choses qu'il reçoit, toutes merveilles dispersées dans l'univers. Il les accueille, branches ouvertes, les serre contre lui, les soigne, les guérit, en prend soin.
Sinon, comment expliquer que les oiseaux aillent sans terreur trouver un abri dans ses feuillages.
Il écoute les enfants qui chahutent sous lui. Il écoute l'ombre du soir qui vient.
Il plaint j'en suis sûr, ceux qui ont tout perdu en l'espace d'un instant. Il prie pour celui qui s'en va, qui n'a aucun nom dans l'Histoire.

A powerful affirmation on my birthday day! 🎈
The world has become a very harsh place.
Reconnect with your heart by noticing the sweetness in life.
Feeling gratitude and appreciation for all of life's loveliness will awaken a renewed sense of peace and happiness within you!
🍊Calamondin oranges (Citrus mitis) are believed to have originated in China and are found throughout Southeast Asia, especially in the Philippines. Their small white flowers produce a delicate and sweet citrus fragrance. While these small trees are mostly ornamental, the colorful, juicy but very tart fruits can be used in teas and marinades, to flavor drinks, and to make a delicious marmalade.

Hi again everyone. I've decided to take a small break from flickr because I have some things to attend to before we start our trek through central Australia in September.
I'd particularly like to say thanks for all of your support and comments. No doubt I will do the occasional upload during this break but I won't be here on flickr anywhere near as much as I have been in the past. I'll be back online properly in September and I hope you'll come along and join me on our journey to Uluru, Alice Springs and Central Australia.
Just so nobody is worried by my absence, I'd just like to say that everything is going good for me at the moment and that is a big part of why I'm so short on time. Those of you who have been around for a long time know what I'm talking about and I'd particularly like to say a big THANK YOU to all of you who have been there to support me in the past. Your love and kindness has been a HUGE part of my getting better and I'd like to dedicate this photo and this song by Savage Garden particularly to you!
Who would have thought I would find such inspiration from the friends that I've found on flickr? I'm constantly amazed at all of my contacts' and regulars' talent, ability, empathy and kindness. You guys are an affirmation of everything that is wonderful about photography and flickr!
Genesis 2:17 King James Version (KJV)
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Completely unlike the fleur-de-lys, the lush dark red lily in the silver field of the coat of arms is a proud emblem of beautiful Florence. The presence of such a lily in the coat of arms explains the magnificent motto: «A flower in full bloom - so flourishes the blooming Florence.»
Anatole France used the image of the "red lily" as the title of his novel. "Red Lily" is a novel about love in the world of politicians and prudent businessmen.
The play based on this novel made a huge impression on the young Marcel Proust. The red lily, which gave the title of the novel, is not just a flower, but a symbol of Florence, where the love of the social beauty Countess Marten-Bellemm and the talented sculptor Jacques Deschartre blossomed.
Зовсім не схожа на fleur-de-lys пишна темно-червона лілія у срібному полі герба — горда емблема прекрасної Флоренції. Наявність у гербі такої лілії пояснює чудовий девіз: «Квітка у повному кольорі – так процвітає квітуча Флоренція».
Анатоль Франс використав образ «червона лілія» як назву для свого роману. "Червона лілія" - роман про кохання у світі політиків та розважливих ділків.
Поставлена за цим романом п'єса справила величезне враження на юного Марселя Пруста. Червона лілія, що дала назву роману, - це не просто квітка, а символ Флоренції, де розквітла любов світської красуні графині Мартен-Беллем та талановитого скульптора Жака Дешартра.
Герб Флоренції є овальним геральдичним щитом срібного кольору, на щиті зображена червона лілія. Лілія є старовинним символом Флоренції. Зображення геральдичної лілії карбувалося на аверсі флорентійських золотих флоринів з 1252 року.
Спочатку герб прикрашала біла лілія на червоному тлі. Однак у 1251 році гвельфи, вигнавши з Флоренції гібеллінів, змінили забарвлення герба, зробивши квітку червоною, а фон білим.
I will be your Father,and you will be my sons and daughters, say the Lord Almighty..

AFFIRMATION
May an Angel’s love surround you
Each and every day
May an Angel’s breath keep you warm
And tempt you to stay
May an Angel’s wings protect you always
When your life becomes difficult and hard
When the light seems increasingly dark
And you need help to find your way
May an Angel’s love surround you
Each and every day
*****
Blessings to you all,
Shelley.
Thank you to each and every one of you who has supported and shared your lives and thoughts with me this year.
I cannot thank you enough, as you have kept a light burning for me as well in difficult times.
Even semi-human Angels need love to know they are needed...
I write often of spiritual love, but some days we need to feel real tangible love.
I seek ways out of the darkness, and I hope you will continue to fly with me into the New Year.
Forgive my lateness in replying to comments and faves from my last batch of work, I will get to you...life is demanding and even Angels have to sleep....sometimes..haha!
Angels drive cars and have to get them fixed and sort out dodgy freezers right before Xmas. Angels have family and they sometimes need your surety.
But Angels also have friends on Flickr who have supported them and commented, faved and viewed with astounding generosity.
Thank you, thank you, with all my heart.

my favorite affirmation given by my yoga teacher; yogi bhajan
There are three independent areas in the Nasrid Palaces (Palacios Nazaríes): the Mexuar, which corresponds to the semipublic part of the palace or selamlik, for justice administration and State affairs; the Comares Palace (Palacio de Comares), which was the official residence of the king; and the Palace of the Lions (Palacio de los Leones), which was the private area of the palace, where the Harem was located. Not only were these areas different because of their functions, but also because of their artistic characteristics. The Comares Palace (Palacio de Comares) was decorated in a typically Muslim way, but the Palace of the Lions (Patio de los Leones) presents Christian influences, probably as a consequence of the friendship between Mohammed V and his Castilian counterpart Pedro I, the Cruel.
Yusuf I wanted his official residence's decoration to amaze the visitor, so he ordered the architects to build it and adorn it in a exquisite way, although he probably did not see the final result, as several inscriptions affirm that his son Mohammed V was responsible for it. Mohammed V finished the works and constructed a façade on the southern side of the Patio of the Gilded Room (Patio del Cuarto Dorado).
I am very beautiful.
I am very cute.
I am very adorable.
I am very smart.
I deserve lots of love.
I deserve many more treats.
And everybody loves me.

"Everything comes out in blues music: joy , pain , struggle . Blues is affirmation with absolute elegance"
Wynton Marsalis
I didn’t become who I am alone.
The people I’ve let close - the rare few - have shaped my architecture. Some challenged me and forced me to grow sharper; some offered quiet stability and taught me how to rest without vanishing; some widened the inner horizon I didn’t know could hold so much light.
And others, in their own ways, taught me refinement through fracture; not because they intended harm - though sometimes they did - but because not everyone is capable of seeing someone clearly, even when standing right in front of them. Every bond - tender, volatile, brief, or breathtaking - has become part of my design.
I still believe in beauty, not as decoration, but as something constructed with intention, protected with discernment, and chosen again and again in spite of everything that may try to dismantle it.
EVERY DAY
You can leave me in the light
And not worry about finding me
You must surely know
That I will always seek you out
When you feel your sanity
Might be in doubt
When your heart feels sore
And you can’t take anymore
When you hide in dark corners
Shunning the current conversation
All so trite and full of spite
Come and find me
Where you left me
Just look for the light
Because that is me calling you
Every moment of the day
From the light
Look it’s alright
From the light
I love you
From the light
Day and night

Thank you to my Friends and Followers,
an Affirmation for Every Day.
Dear friends and followers, and those who have viewed and faved recently on my last batch of work. I have been thinking of you all and wanting to get back to you before now.
The past few days I have been unwell however, but recovering now.
So this was just a little offering to keep you all going until I can cast my eyes over your lovely work and thank you all for supporting me.
Grail Keepers do not forget their friends. Grail Keepers are people who do not forget and have loyalty as their middle name.
Behind the scenes I have been working, thinking. Seems to me we need beauty and decency back in this world. We need the sort of values that anybody, regardless of who or what they are, or what faith they follow, can have.
A Grail Keeper in my mind is someone who will help in this way, even if its only in small ways, it all adds up to something bigger.
Martin Luther King was a Grail Keeper. John Lennon was a Grail Keeper. Mother Teresa was a Grail Keeper. Alexei Navalny was a Grail Keeper. There are so many, the list could go on.
These are courageous well known examples. But there are also Grail Keepers who work diligently in their own communities. There are Grail Keepers who perform small acts of kindness every day.
I want to start to expand on this idea, and the work I do I hope will bring some light into this dark uncertain world of ours. It doesn’t have to be this way, and Grail Keepers even if its only in a simple, small way, need to find their courage and continue to hold up a light.
This work is from Glynde Church, in Sussex in the UK. I take my Grails out into the area I know and have lived in all my life. With them I seek to find a connection to the spiritual world that will heal and enlighten.
Short of having you there with me, the least I can do is share my work in images and words.
And as always, if you would like to see more of my work, have a look at my website at:
March 13th, 2024. Dear Friends...I am still catching up...if I haven't got to you yet, I will.
Meanwhile...The Grail is obsessing me again, when does it not you might ask. Fair point. I really think there is going to be more written as I think upon it. I mean, I have thought about it pretty much all my life, but I think it has a poignant relevance now. I can see some Blogs might get written in the future, especially on the Grail Keeper theme. Modern Grail Keepers are also our future.
Think of any? Might be somebody in your local community.
Like the Post Master in mine, who helped me sort out the right postage to get my new Driving License there and back safely. He got it in the right envelopes and everything for me.
My notes are expanding. But then so is love for the Grail.
All my love everybody, Shell x

One day an affirmed photographer told me: if you want to become a photographer you never have to photograph poppies, the photographs of poppies are trivial.
That same day, I decided that I never wanted to be a photographer.

"When inspiration knocks - open the door."
~~Le long des quais, l’identité maritime s’affirme : criée, chantiers de constructions navales, pontons accueillant des bateaux de toute nature y compris des voiliers de course le temps d’un départ de transat.
~~Ce port, peu profond, abrita toutefois jusqu'à 600 chaloupes pendant la saison de la sardine et, par la suite, les thoniers vinrent s'y ajouter. Des maisons bourgeoises sont édifiées le long des quais hors de la « Ville close ». Cette dernière devient, en cette période, un quartier populaire abritant matelots et sardinières. La Station de biologie marine de Concarneau est fondée par Victor Coste en 1859. Il s'agit de la plus ancienne station marine du monde.
~~À partir de 1851, les premières conserveries, remplaçant progressivement les fritures et les presses à sardines, apparaissent. Elles sont spécialisées dans la sardine et le thon. Elles feront la fortune de quelques négociants et permettront une élévation du niveau de vie de la population.
~~ En 1877, la ville compte 20 usines dont l'usine Béziers et en 1900 30 usines employant 2 000 ouvrières (qui portent la coiffe penn sardin) sur une population de 7 000 habitants. ~~À partir de 1902, la disparition des grands bancs de sardines plonge Concarneau dans la misère.
La ficaire fait le printemps
Cette affirmation rappelle un proverbe à propos d’un autre symbole du printemps, l’hirondelle (sous-entendu l’hirondelle rustique, l’espèce qui niche au plus près des hommes dans les fermes et arrive dès les premiers jours d’avril). Effectivement, il existe un lien avec cet oiseau via le nom anglais de la ficaire : lesser celandine ; lesser de nouveau pour « petite » mais celandine dérive du vieux français célidoine, la chélidoine. On recroise aussi cette dernière dans un autre nom ancien de la ficaire : Chelidonium minus, la petite chélidoine. Or, chélidoine dérive lui-même de chelidôn, l’hirondelle, que l’on retrouve dans le surnom d’herbe à l’hirondelle (swallow-wort en anglais). Cette association remonte à Dioscoride, le célèbre botaniste grec de l’Antiquité, qui déclarait que la chélidoine fleurissait à l’arrivée des hirondelles et mourrait quand elles partaient ; là-dessus est venu se greffer une légende : les hirondelles récoltaient des feuilles de chélidoine pour frotter les yeux collés de leurs oisillons et leur rendre la vue (on retombe sur les propriétés médicinales ophtalmiques !). Par déformation, ce nom a donné au Moyen-âge « coeli donum », don du ciel d’autant que l’hirondelle représente un oiseau céleste (qui reste en l’air) et est associé au soleil et au ciel. Ainsi, ficaire et chélidoine se trouvent à jamais unies pour saluer l’arrivée du printemps !
Plusieurs des surnoms de la ficaire renvoient à sa couleur jaune d’or brillante dont jauneau ou pot au beurre. Ce dernier nom, outre l’allusion directe à la couleur jaune, rappelle une pratique connue des enfants d’autrefois à la campagne (j’en fais partie !!) : on place une fleur de ficaire (ou de renoncule : voir paragraphe suivant) sous le menton d’un(e) ami(e) et on lui demande « Aimes-tu le beurre ? » et la réponse s’écrit immédiatement sur le menton sous la forme d’un halo jaune doré projeté par la fleur magique ! Cette capacité de réfléchir un faisceau de lumière jaune intrigue depuis longtemps les biologistes et le mécanisme physique commence seulement à être pleinement compris (1) : il implique la structure cellulaire de l’épiderme des pétales. La lumière traverse la couche superficielle épidermique transparente chargée de pigment tandis qu’une coloration diffuse jaunâtre provient de la dispersion de la lumière par une couche sous-jacente chargée de grains d’amidon. Une mince couche d’air qui sépare ces deux couches explique la réflexion orientée du faisceau lumineux. L’ensemble donne cette apparence si brillante, intense qui doit certainement jouer un rôle dans l’attraction des insectes pollinisateurs (voir ci-dessous). Cette illumination dégage de la chaleur et fait de ces fleurs en sous-bois des sites chauffés pour les visiteurs et donc plus attractifs.
