According to superstition, a broken mirror supposedly brings seven years of bad luck, as the human soul is seen in its reflection and is said to take seven years to heal if it breaks. This belief stems from ancient beliefs that mirrors house the soul or are portals to parallel worlds inhabited by evil spirits.

Laut Aberglauben bringt ein zerbrochener Spiegel angeblich sieben Jahre Pech, da die Seele des Menschen im Spiegelbild gesehen wird und sieben Jahre brauchen soll, um zu heilen, wenn sie zerbricht. Diese Überzeugung stammt aus alten Glaubensvorstellungen, wonach Spiegel die Seele beherbergen oder als Portale zu Parallelwelten mit bösen Geistern gelten.

Broken windmill, broken trees, broken and abandoned house.

I first published this house the day after I took this photo. I had a new camera and old software. I've learned a lot in the year and few months since then.

The house has been either torn or burned down. It was full of stuff, like the family just walked away. If only the walls could talk. Of course, it was too creepy to get real close so I wouldn't hear the walls even if they did talk... :)

"In life man commits himself and draws his own portrait, outside of which there is nothing. No doubt this thought may seem harsh to someone who has not made a success of his life. But on the other hand, it helps people to understand that reality alone counts, and that dreams, expectations and hopes only serve to define a man as a broken dream, aborted hopes, and futile expectations."

- Jean-Paul Sartre

"And whatever your labors and aspirations,

in the noisy confusion of life,

keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,

it is still a beautiful world."

- Max Ehrmann

'You Can't Always Get What You Want" - Rolling Stones

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MY PUN IMAGE FOR SLIDERS SUNDAY THREE WEEKS AGO WOULD TURN OUT THAT SPOT ON! What a sad sad day for us who believe in togetherness and solidarity instead of isolation and xenophobic fear-mongering :( I am heartbroken with the results of the British referendum.

Wishing everyone a spooky Sliders Sunday!

I dropped my heart egg while putting away my Easter decorations, so this is its farewell before being dropped into the trash.

The once majestic vessel now lay battered and broken, its hull marred by jagged crevices and splintered wood. Each crack told a story of tumultuous journeys endured upon unforgiving waves. The ship, once a symbol of strength and resilience, now seemed frail and vulnerable against the relentless sea. Yet, amidst the wreckage, there lingered a whisper of defiance—a testament to the resilience of those who had sailed her. Like scars etched upon weathered skin, each fracture bore witness to the trials faced and conquered. Though broken, the ship stood as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, hope and the spirit of survival endure.
