September is the month of gates and new beginnings, for many people. It goes back to when
we were in school with a brand-new year, and grade. It continues today with students getting up
every morning on the quest to succeed.
We never stop learning. For many of us we also never stop being afraid of the unknown,
and going through that gate, when we are not sure in human mind what is on the other side.
The gates were an important part of our life. A gate is a way in. It is also a way out. As we enter
into this new beginning, we are entering the gate, but we are also
exiting from the gate of our past. We are entering into a new opportunity; we are
leaving the old behind. In theory, at least, this is what we do. But
sometimes we make the gate to enter the new level of life an access through which
we enter laden with the things of the past that we should have laid aside
or left behind.
The mere turning of a page on the calendar from August to September
does not make us a new person, or a new student. The turning is an inner turning,
a turning from doubts and fears, and failures of the past, a deliberate turning of
our face away from the shadows to the light. We can't face two directions
at the same time, nor do we want to. We face forward; we enter the gate marked
God's opportunity. We see it as a new beginning and we place our hand in the hand
of God, certain of guidance, and certain of wonderful things ahead for us in the
future.
Fall is also traditionally a time for setting goals and making changes
in your life that you feel will be helpful. You may, or may not stay with
these goals, but they give you something to work toward as well as provide
a measure for your achievements.
Yet whatever your personal goals may be, the most important goal you
can make is to be the very best you can be IN THAT MOMENT.
You can only live in the now, not in the past or in the future. Because
you know this, you can live fully and completely.
There is no guarantee that you will reach every goal, but you can let
God's love be the motivation for all that you do. And with God's love
moving you forward, there is always something of excellence to achieve.

Last night, a storm was headed towards La Porte. With it, there was going to be strong winds and rain. Before that could get here though, I was enjoying the fresh breeze outside my doorstep.I was prepared to go inside to evade the rain when I noticed this little Junebug hanging onto this stem in my flower garden. It was as if he was getting prepared for the storm as well by hanging on a tight as possible to the stem.

Maurizio Cattelan
Not Afraid of Love
Avec ”All” au Guggenheim en 2011, on pensait que « tout » avait été dit. Comme souvent avec Maurizio Cattelan, nous étions sur une fausse piste…
Ce qui devait être le salut final d’une carrière éblouissante, faite d’œuvres qui ont marqué l’époque, de scandales, de profondeur, de fracas et d’humour, n’était qu’une (ir)révérence de plus.
Cinq ans plus tard, Cattelan revient au travail. Il a choisi la Monnaie de Paris pour son exposition la plus importante en Europe, et la plus importante depuis sa rétrospective New-Yorkaise. Cette exposition à la Monnaie de Paris, sous le commissariat de Chiara Parisi, est une exposition qui sera profondément « habitée » par Cattelan. Un choix d’œuvres, dont l'image reste pour toujours accrochée à la rétine, seront exposées dans les salons XVIIIème siècle de la Monnaie de Paris.
Irrévérencieux, génial, facétieux, drôle, grave, provocateur, cynique, potache, Maurizio Cattelan n’est jamais là où on l’attend. Les visages de Cattelan sont autant d’uppercuts qui nous laissent KO.
Et c’est là son paradoxe ultime, sa capacité géniale à transformer une fuite en pirouette sublime : Cattelan n’aura jamais été aussi présent dans une exposition, et pourtant chacune de ses œuvres hurle son absence.
L’effigie de Cattelan, l’art de la mise en scène, sera le cœur battant de l’exposition à la Monnaie de Paris.
Un début de réponse à son interrogation aussi pince-sans-rire que métaphysique « y-a-t-il une vie avant la mort ? ».
A little afraid of falling in the water, the poor guy had to take me in his arms like a bride and help me ashore.
Spaventato dalla realtà, decise di voltare le spalle al mondo; vivendo solo di immaginazione.
Frightened by the reality, he decided to turn backs on the world, living only of imagination.

Honestly, I was a bit afraid that I was going to be disappointed by the Taj Mahal. But it was all it's cracked up to be. Much bigger than I expected, and stunningly beautiful at every scale, from the overall structure down to the finest ornamentation.
The first thing I think when I see something like this is: where in heaven's name did they get all that money? Especially in this case, to be spent on nothing more than a tomb? So: it seems part of the prosperity of the Mughal empire can be laid to good governance and profitable trade. But the base of their revenue was taxes of well north of half of each farm's annual output for every peasant farmer in their domain.
The tomb was built for Mumtaz Mahal, favorite wife of the emperor Shah Jahan. A Persian noble, she was engaged to him at 14, married at 19, and died in childbirth with their 14th child at 38. As empress consort she was not only beloved by him but also enjoyed considerable power at court, advising her husband and participating in affairs of state.
The guide here told us that the Mughals were Persians who conquered India. Not quite: they were Timurid rulers from central Asia (hence Mughal, meaning Mongol) who conquered both Persia and India and came under Persian cultural influence.
I wanted to get a shot of a very scaredy pumpkin face. Of course I wanted it to be candid and natural and not posed.
So I found this pumpkin sitting off by itself in a darkened corner. I dressed in my best Dracula costume and jumped out from behind the trees.
"Bluh, I've come to drink your blude!" I exclaimed. The pumpkin stared at me with a wooden expression.
I had to try again. I put on my best Frankenstein costume and again jumped out from behind the tree.
"Arrrggghhhhhh" I growled, "hehehe" the pumpkin giggled.
"MmmmmMMMM" I moaned, dressed as the Mummy. He grabbed some of the toilet paper I had wrapped around me as bandages and a magazine and told me he'd be back in a few.
"Arrrrooooooooooo" I howled as a Werewolf! He threw a bone down the street. I chased it.
"OooOOOooooOOO" I groaned as a Ghost.
"I ain't afraid of no ghost" he says. I stared at him blankly, he stared back.
Then I had it.
I threw on a big blue dress, an apron and ugly white shoes. Dragging my left foot, I limped across, "Brainsssssssssss" I gargoled. The pumpkin stared at me once again and declared, " I most definitly am NOT afraid of no Zombie!"
So I explained I was no ordinary Zombie and in my best impersonation of her, I exclaimed, " I am Julia Childs Zombie " as I whipped out a tray of pumpkin seeds, " and today we are going to learn how to roast PUMPKIN BRAINSSSSSSSS! "
Thats when the pumpkin made this face and I took the picture.

Why am I so afraid to crash down and lose my heart again? I don't know, I can't see, what's come over me
Grand Geyser is currently the largest predictable geyser in the world. You can get closer to it than to Old Faithful. Its performances are also more dramatic, with explosive bursts jetting skyward up to 200 feet.
Performing about once every 8-12 hours, Grand erupts in a series of bursts, making it a lot of fun to watch. Get the prediction from the Old Faithful Visitor Center and try to be there for the first and second bursts, which are usually the best. Because eruption intervals can vary, you might be subject to an agonizing wait, but it's worth it. If you learn to read the eruptions of its smaller companions, Turban and Vent, you can sometimes know when it is about to blow. The sight of all three of these geysers erupting in concert is a real crowd pleaser.
Unless you are fortunate enough to see Giant, Giantess, or Steamboat erupt (rare and unpredictable), Grand Geyser is the most spectacular geothermal wonder to see in Yellowstone. It's a star of the Upper Geyser Basin, the most concentrated set of large geysers in the world. In addition to Old Faithful, try to see Castle, Daisy, Beehive, Riverside, Lion and numerous medium-size and small geysers playing daily for your amazement. Each has its own personality. Geyser gazing can quickly become a fun hobby, trying to see and photograph as many as you can. I'm afraid I'm becoming a geezer geyser gazer (see The Discovery of Yellowstone).
