yesterday somebody stole my bag - in it were my gloves and 2 cameras, and all sorts of little goodies that I will miss. It's lucky I was in a good mood yesterday, for today I have cold hands and a little less trust
Series of six. Returning from a very wet and unproductive walk round the local park today, I flushed a Sparrowhawk from my garden and thought I would not see it again today. Luckily it returned about a hour later and sat on five different locations in the garden before flying off emptyhanded. I missed the best clear shot on the fence getting my camera and another on the back of a bench but it was nice to get three different locations.
The long-ago vested CCT church, locked with single keyholder, who lives at a house named "Mxxx" with neighbouring properties called "Mxxx Cottage" and "Mxxx Barn Cottage". There followed a bizarre overlong farce with keys. I went to the wrong Mxxx property in all innocence. Meanwhile an electricity meter reader had picked the right property and had the key, meeting my friend who I had left back at the church. I arrived back emptyhanded, a ten minute discussion took place about the keyholder in which I eventually decided we were talking about different houses, but meter reader would not take the responsibility to let us have the key and return it. Instead he drove off only to return with the key saying it was OK for us to have it.
After all that fuss the church was a crushing disappointment inside - I question whether the CCT would accept it for vesting if it was offered today. We returned the key - I made my friend knock the door to make sure!
THE AUGSBURG CHALK CIRCLE - Der Augsburger Kreidekreis by Bertolt Brecht (school performance)
The story is set during the Thirty Years War. Zingli, a protestant of means, delays leaving his home in Augsburg until the Catholic forces are plundering the city. His wife spends too much time packing her clothes, and so is forced to flee emptyhanded, leaving the child behind. Their maid, Anna, a simple girl, rescues the child and flees to her brother's farm in the country.
To avoid humiliation as an unwed mother, Anna claims that she is waiting for her husband to return for her. Given the nature of the war, the ruse is plausible for a time, but eventually, to avoid suspicion and possible eviction, she feels compelled to produce a husband. She marries a man who is on his deathbed, expecting to be a widow soon; however, he recovers and she must live with him for a few years.
When the war ends, Frau Zingli returns to reclaim her son. Ignatz Dollinger, a wise judge, cannot determine who is the real mother, so enacts a version of the Judgment of Solomon. The child is placed inside a chalk circle with two ropes tied around him: one in the hands of each claimant. Anna is unwilling to risk harm to the child, so pulls only lightly, while Frau Zingli pulls with force that could have "ripped the child in two." Although Anna appears to have lost the contest, the wise judge rules that, having shown the greater love, Anna is the fit and rightful mother.

not that I'm complaining or anything but after we got home from thrifting/yard saleing yesterday it occurred to me that I was the only one in our 10 person possee that came home empty handed.....

Of course, I didn't leave B&H emptyhanded, an orphan SIgma 8-16 now has a safe home :) (And the 10-20 may soon be for sale...)
Series of two. A very dull day recently at a local reservoir, it was cold, grey, wet and the birds had more sense than to come out to play. A rather soggy Kestrel appeared hunting for a while, just so I did not go back to the car emptyhanded.
Divinely-inspired EAS, my favorite Rome Fiumicino airport company. Maybe they thought DEN was their denaro.
Day 196, July 15: Roseville candle holders sit on the mantle without candles. They were my Grandma's, though I never knew she owned them while she was alive. I've tried to use them, but every candle I offer the pair to hold seems to wobble. I chipped one of the candle holders while we were moving and was so angry. But things happen, life happens. Rarely are things perfect. Sometimes things look a little shabby and can't perform what they were originally created to do. Then, in a strange way, some things can transcend their original purposes, fulfilling new roles, offering new perspectives.

The squirrel has been running along the fences, going house to house checking the gutters for peanuts the jays and magpies hide. he was sitting outside our bed room window, looking up at me, empty handed.
Rome airport (FCO) baggage handler 'operator error' (s) kept these in Rome, giving me the opportunity to know my toothbrush and airplane clothes much better.

we headed to home depot in search of a toilet for the bathroom reno, but we couldn't agree... so we left emptyhanded. drats.
Ryokan, a Zen master, lived the simplest kind of life in a little hut at the foot of a mountain. One evening a thief visited the hut only to discover there was nothing in it to steal.
Ryokan returned and caught him. "You may have come a long way to visit me," he told the prowler, "and you shoud not return emptyhanded. Please take my clothes as a gift."
The thief was bewildered. He took the clothes and slunk away.
Ryokan sat naked, watching the moon. "Poor fellow, " he mused, "I wish I could give him this beautiful moon."
Today was the most difficult day of the 365 Project so far. I went out looking for a picture but came back emptyhanded. Afterwards, I spent over an hour at home trying to come up with something before I was finally content. These are some sockets in my tool kit.
I used some gloves and school supplies to make sure I got the background black...

My people are cruel... They went shopping today and I came up emptyhanded... The spoo-manity of it all!
faces
i saw
i shot
faces
that
linger
on my
consciousness
like a blood clot
giving life to
a moment
a poor mans lot
wrinkled face
painfully etched
eyes bloodshot
seeking hope
nervously
somewhat
you came
as a beggar
emptyhanded
you go back
as a beggar
criminally
conceived
cosmic plot
you leave
behind
every thing
you bought
death where
is thy sting
says the soul
distraught

I actually don't know why I'm still in this stagnant state I am in right now.
Too much contemplating eats the life out of me.
