“The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery” (Anaïs Nin)
A bull elephant stands under the shade of a tree in the midday heat of 34C during Winter at Etosha national park, Namibia...the only movement was its ears flapping to keep cool and this very slight turn of its head acknowledging that it was aware of our presence...
For this weeks theme "blue for you me - 2023".
Our health is the most precious thing we have, we cannot take it for granted.
Background:
"Forget ME not" was created to raise awareness about M.E (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) - an extremely debilitating, life changing, complex chronic disease that has received shamefully low attention and fundings for research for decades. Patients are being disbelieved, misunderstood and dismissed. There is no treatment and no cure.
Over 20 million people across the globe are affected and in the aftermaths of COVID this number is quickly rising (many Long Covid patients end up being diagnosed with M.E).
During our events in May we will create awareness, break the stigma and fundraise for the "Open Medicine Foundation" who conduct research into M.E, Long Covid, Fibromyalgia and related chronic conditions. They are a registered, US based non-profit organization that has been around for over 10 years.

The United Nations General Assembly has designated November 25 as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (Resolution 54/134).[1] The premise of the day is to raise awareness of the fact that women around the world are subject to rape, domestic violence and other forms of violence; furthermore, one of the aims of the day is to highlight that the scale and true nature of the issue is often hidden.
May 12 is ME/CFS/Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day, a day to bring attention to how ME/CFS/Fibromyalgia affects those suffering from the illness.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a serious, long-term illness that affects many body systems. Often, people with ME/CFS may not be able to do their usual activities. People with ME/CFS have severe fatigue and sleep problems. ME/CFS may get worse after people with the illness try to do as much as they want or need to do. This symptom is known as post-exertional malaise (PEM). Other symptoms can include problems with thinking and concentrating, pain, and dizziness.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a medical condition characterised by chronic widespread pain and a heightened pain response to pressure. Other symptoms include tiredness to a degree that normal activities are affected, sleep problems and troubles with memory. Some people also report restless legs syndrome, bowel or bladder problems, numbness and tingling and sensitivity to noise, lights or temperature. Fibromyalgia is frequently associated with depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder. Other types of chronic pain are also frequently present.
Thanks for viewing 💙💜💙

After one windy day, I headed outside with my camera. The limb of a tree had landed at the edge of the street. Within the foliage, small green forms caught my eye.
Breaking off a small part of the branch, I began to study the tiny plants that had been swaying overhead just moments before tumbling to the ground. It reminded me that so much of the time we all have our eyes focused straight ahead, not even noticing the sky or the treasures on the ground.
as a musician I just notice that sound seems absent in photography; are you really aware of this obvious fact?

A Statement Against Pollution
This was a sculpture I did for an exhibition done in collaboration with the Moving Ethos Modern Dancer Company called Purity & Pollution. It was floating in the pool during the exhibition. It is entirely made out of garbage (rubbish) and is mostly made of plastics, although glass and cans (tins) are included and the surfboard of course. I am trying to encourage people to throw their garbage (rubbish) in the appropriate places, not just throw it anywhere thereby destroying, land, birds, animals, the ocean, and other waterways.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

thinking about this a lot today.. how the adversity and challenges help us to grow.. and also how the truth sets you free

E' una parola giapponese intraducibile in italiano.
E' la sensazione struggente che si prova quando si sta vivendo un momento di grande bellezza, che si sa effimero e destinato ad esaurirsi velocemente.

I think it's always important to be vigilant of what you're doing and aware of your surroundings.

With this series of images I'm hoping to raise awareness of mental health and stop the stigma, when it comes to mental illnesses. Stay strong!
Being aware is being alive, remember that you aren't your mind and your thoughts, you are the one observing it the "I" that is consciousness.

October
O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away.
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes' sake, if the were all,
Whose elaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost—
For the grapes' sake along the all.
Robert Frost
We should all be considerate of global warming, which is a ticking time bomb that we need to defuse before it explodes.
Sending a powerful message about climate change, Italian artist Lorenzo Quinn has built a monumental sculpture for the 2017 Venice art Biennale, to raise awareness about this modern issue.
