The nigella flower has been an exceptionally popular garden bloom since the Elizabethan era. This is namely due to the general loveliness of the flower, and it’s uniquely shaped foliage. However, gardens are not the only medium in which this plant has exhibited its special charms. Over time, these blossoms have become a large part of myth and magic. Although most people think that the name “love in a mist” came about purely for the nigella’s frothy appearance, some legends tell a different story. One such tale tells of Frederick I Barbarossa – the holy Roman Emperor – who, in fact, drowned in the Saleph River while leading a Crusade through Turkey. During this Crusade, it is said that a spirit of the water seduced the Emperor, leading him into the shallow river which ultimately led to his demise. On the shore, a delicate nigella flower blossomed, and is thought to represent his own departed spirit – which is now enmeshed with that of water. In magic, the nigella flower is considered a Venus herb. Unlike most Venus herbs, though, these plants are not only used to attract love, but to represent the strong feminine power of an alluring woman. As well as being used in love charms, these plants are also applied to spells that can bring about glamour and the binding of a person’s spirit.
The magical associations with the nigella flower carry over into its symbolism. These blooms are often said to represent the chains that bind people together – usually in love, but sometimes in bitterness. They are also said to express perplexity and intrigue, and are often given as gifts to tell the recipient that the giver is fascinated, or simply has a crush.
This final exterior picture of the series shows what picture #4 hinted: that, surprisingly, the house is mostly straight except for the implosion of gable in the northwest and the corresponding segment on the northeast. At first glance from the north side, the house seems to have totally imploded.
The south side faces what is probably a small river or else a large stream and has multiple windows on the first and second floors and a porch that is partially collapsed. In its day, before it became enmeshed in vegetation and before the collapse, it would have been a nice farm house in a beautiful location, with primary views south to the river and west. Nowadays, little of the house could be seen while the vegetation is in leaf.
In response to a question yesterday, I peaked into a door that was part of the collapsed part on the northwest side. I shall temporarily post a couple of pictures tomorrow.
Excerpt from torontobiennial.org/work/dana-prieto-at-small-arms-inspec...:
In October 1992, the Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) purchased the Arsenal Lands, a 15.7-hectare property located on the City of Mississauga’s waterfront and the site of the Small Arms Inspection Building (SAIB). Alongside this acquisition, the TRCA performed an environmental audit of the land to determine the extent of contamination associated with its prior use as a large munitions plant that manufactured rifles and small arms for the Canadian Army. The testing identified the presence of large concentrations of low-level radioactive waste, PCBs, heavy metals, petroleum compounds, volatile organic compounds, and combustible gasses. Since then, the TRCA has directed an extensive screening of the grounds, extracting and segregating toxic particles and debris while removing over 70,000 tonnes of radioactive soil that have been stored in a containment facility neighbouring SAIB. Beyond the haunting ubiquity of forever chemicals scattered across the Arsenal Lands, this site is entwined with cycles of migration, settlement, war, displacement, natural disasters, butterfly visitations, the prospects of a tenuous biocultural restoration, and a revival of community and cultural happenings.
Dana Prieto’s commission for the Toronto Biennial in 2022, Footnotes for an Arsenal (2022), proposes an exercise of attunement toward ways of thinking with the ground we stand upon, an invitation to enact an unflinching, caring, and responsible attention to that ground, and to the profound social, historical, and chemical enmeshments that link us to it. The work meditates on the past, present, and future histories of SAIB and the land where it is located. The installation resembles a mundane scene around a tiled patio or playground, comprising an arrangement of terracotta clay tiles that hold an assemblage of containers. Incorporating fired soil , this prosaic tableau offers mnemonic traces of a convoluted and ostensibly hazardous ground, charting the uncontainable nature of earthly bodies while tendering forms of life that are not defined by its damage.

The theme for this week is 'mesh'
If I could put this in my bedroom, I would. Or any room in my house...maybe even every room! Not wallpaper, not a mural, the real deal. This is one of the most magical waterfalls I've experienced and I'd love to wrap it all around me and become enmeshed in it and eat, sleep and breathe it!!!

In this world it is terrible how things “hang together.” The enmeshing of passions, flame within flame, nets and ropes of fire that is pleasure, the world nested in a moving mesh of unending fire, passion, passion, passion!
-Raids on the Unspeakable, Thomas Merton
Street noir... Despite the sunny March light, dark mysteries abound. The awning's shadowy bars enmesh the unwitting passersby in cages of circumstance. What is in the envelope? Why is the car window down - a simple appeal for directions, or a pending drive-by? What secrets is the man in black reading on his phone? What's with the cow toque? And why in God's name does the mermaid have two tails!?!
Water droplets make a nice little lens when enmeshed in the mesh. It looks like Van Gogh and Dali decided to collaborate and Warhol got to sell the prints. Sometimes the flower wins sometimes refraction wins.

Nome: Nebulosa da Águia, NGC 6611, Messier 16
Tipo: Aglomerado aberto estelar com nebulosidade
Distância: aprox. 7.000 anos-luz
Magnitude Aparente: 6,4
Constelação: Serpente (Cauda) [1]
A Nebulosa da Águia é uma notável região ativa de formação estelar localizada na constelação da Serpente (cauda). A nebulosa, uma nuvem gigante de gás interestelar e poeira, já criou um considerável aglomerado de estrelas jovens. O aglomerado é também chamado de NGC 6611 e a nebulosa como IC 4703. O aglomerado foi descoberto em 1745 por Philippe Loys de Chéseaux. Em 1764, Charles Messier catalogou novamente o aglomerado como M16 mas descreveu a presença de uma tênue névoa, provavelmente indicações da nebulosa. [1]
Este enxame estelar tem somente 5,5 milhôes de anos (de acordo com Sky Catalog 2000 e Gotz) com uma formação estelar ainda ativa na nebulosa; isto resulta na presença de muitas estrelas quentes do tipo espectral O6. Estima-se que o aglomerado tenha uma extensão de 15 anos-luz e a nebulosa tenha uma extensão aproximada de 70 x 55 anos-luz. [1]
Os destaques desta nebulosa não param por aí. Ainda temos nesta nebulosa os famosos "Pilares da Criação", estruturas com formato similar à estalagmites localizadas no centro da imagem. Essa região já foi alvo do telescópio espacial Hubble em 1995 criando imagens que encantaram o mundo. As colunas dos pilares são compostas de hidrogênio e poeira, que agem como incubadoras de novas estrelas. Dentro das colunas e na superfície, os astrônomos encontraram nós, ou glóbulos, de gás mais denso, chamados EGG (Evaporating Gaseous Globules - Glóbulos Gasosos em Evaporação). Várias estrelas estão sendo formadas no interior destes glóbulos. [2]

Name: Eagle Nebula, NGC 6611, Messier 16
Type: Open cluster with nebulosity
Distance: near 7,000 light-years
Apparent magnitude: 6.4
Constellation: Serpens Cauda [1]
The Eagle Nebula Messier 16 (M16) is a conspicuous region of active star formation, situated in Serpens Cauda. The starforming nebula, a giant cloud of interstellar gas and dust, has already created a considerable cluster of young stars. The cluster is also referred to as NGC 6611, the nebula as IC 4703. The discoverer, Philippe Loys de Chéseaux, describes only the cluster when recording his 1745-1746 discovery. Charles Messier, on his independent rediscovery of June 3, 1764, mentions that these stars appeared "enmeshed in a faint glow", probably suggestions of the nebula.[1]
This stellar swarm is only about 5.5 million years old (according to the Sky Catalog 2000 and Götz) with star formation still active in the Eagle Nebula; this results in the presence of very hot young stars of spectral type O6. The cluster has a linear extension of about 15 light years. The nebula extends much farther out, to a diameter of over 30', corresponding to a linear size of about 70x55 light years. [1]
The highlights of this nebula don't stop here. We found in this nebula the famous "Pillars of Creation", structures similar to stalagmites situated in center of image. This region was target of Hubble Space Telescope in 1995 that made incredible images. The columns of pillars are composed of hidrogen and dust, that act like incubator of new stars. Inside of columns and surface of this structures, the astronomers found nodes, or globules, of dense gas, known as EGG (Evaporating Gaseous Globules). Various stars are being formed inside this globules.[2]

The Brooklyn Bridge is a pretty amazing bridge. Every trip to NYC this bridge is a highlight for me. One nice thing about visiting the same spot again and again is the opportunity to see new angles or to explore it. Of course, the big attraction of this bridge is the network of cables that seem to enmesh you as you walk across it. So many photos of this bridge feature these cables, some of those photos I have even made on previous trips. But this time I found myself getting a bit closer than I have before to the cables themselves and this image was the result.

Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas ☄️
Aka: C/2023 A3 or Comet A3
Ringwood, NJ 2024/10/17 7:34pm EDT
Nikon D500 200-500mm
The coma (comet head) currently measures about 130,000 miles (209,000 kilometers) in diameter, accompanied by a tail stretching out for some 18 million miles (29 million km).
Right now, as Comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS continues to make its way through the inner solar system, it is shining as brightly as the brightest stars, but it is also enmeshed in the twilight glow of the sun. So, despite its extreme brightness, making an actual sighting of this object will not be a slam dunk.
Comets move fast. Really fast. According to data from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the maximum orbital speed of Comet A3 is a whopping 150,000 miles per hour (41.666666667 mile/second)
The orbital period of Comet A3 is 80,000 years. That’s because it has an awfully long way to travel—out to the Oort Cloud, a minimum of 2,000 astronomical units (AU) away from the sun. For context, one AU is about 93 million miles.
Like a Bridesmaid adorned for a wedding: the garland of flowers was a pink tiara upon the precipitous headland.
And this was the set location for the filming of Ryan's Daughter. Ryan's Daughter is a 1970 British epic romantic drama film set between August 1917 and January 1918. It tells the story of a married Irish woman who has an affair with a British officer during World War I, despite moral and political opposition from her nationalist neighbours. The film was a box office success.
While we were exploring and marvelling at the very rugged cliffs and the majesty of it all, we were really attracted to these delicate pink flowers right at our feet. What an absolute contrast: these delicate pink flowers adorning the majestic clifftops. There were pockets of them on little ledges down the cliffs. These 'delicate' flowers, in a 'delicate colour', in 'delicate clusters' in a bold rugged setting.
We saw in these clusters of blooms a visual parable for the story of Ryan's Daughter, who in her loving was enmeshed in the powerful hatreds and conflicts of war and nationalism!

Using the great Google tech, I determined that this butterfly is the orange-barred sulphur. Could be wrong. Google lens does lead me astray at times. But, pretty confident. It was really hard to get a pic of these butterflies. They were erratic in flight and unpredictable in flight. They came rarely and went quickly and were often enmeshed in the plants. But, pretty enough to inspire me to give it the good college try.

God Explains Space to His Angels
You'll have to slow down.
I mean, very, very slow, like travelling
an inch and a half (they call
it distance) in eight hundred
million years (they call
it time.) you'll have
to distinguish between here
and there - yes, yes,
we all know there's only
the here and now,
but you'll have to see
in their way - with everyhing
reduced to three dimensions.
It comes with being
exiled in a mortal
body, you see, which is not
entirely a curse, i assure
you. Space is the disposable
furniture of a mind
enmeshed in its own
metaphors, brandishing
a meter stick under
our immesurable sky.
You'll need wings.

He was determined, it appeared, to push back the encroaching squalor of the unnaturally contorted flora in an attempt to bring some order and sanity to our environment. Beyond the unimaginable tangle of briars and queerly placed stands of shrubs enmeshed in them, was a curiously shaped mound of earth directly behind a small stone out-building less than twenty foot square and with a tiny cupola perched on the roof facing the house (now lost to time) that made it resemble more than anything else, a miniature school house.

Goodbye Troubles
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Love let new spring be you
Fresh in its new beginning
Heart always young and true
From growth now singing
Let me know of your laughter
Every footstep new and bold
Beautiful day’s morning after
Growth in earth from the old
Love look to my path afresh
Let me see the forest growing
So I'll know how to enmesh
With the tide's timeless going
Give my heart spring once more
Pull the way for gracious love
I need your feelings to be sure
What this throbbing is all of
Doubtful old days into the past
Those wonderful sights ahead
Rainy clouds I have by-passed
Goodbye troubles get joy instead
Pull up your friendliest smile
All the outside’s now looking in
Let aspiring hope be here awhile
Where has the laughter been?

Within the Great Tree
That is my Life
Sing two birds of note:
One flits around from branch to branch
Sometimes joyously intoxicated
Sometimes devastatingly morose
It seems to stretch with every sound
Towards that other Bird
Waiting there in the higher branches
The illuminated- immovable One
That lives in a dimension beyond
The world of the five senses
Singing with such sweetness
Such profoundness
Bringing forth the essence
Of all that is possible
In the Universe of Music
This mysterious Songbird
Enraptures the aching one
Exudes an invitation
To experience more than the tree
As if every note
Contained the essence of Eternity
The immortal seed of Creation
The ecstasy of abundant Peace
The fixed point of Meditation
The wellspring of all Songs
The sacred Source
Reverberating Asupiciously
from Absolute Silence

The Ancients of the Vedic culture used to describe the soul and the Great Soul as two birds singing within each of us. Every soul is enmeshed with earthly life and experiences a restlessness and is ever in contact with another bird which represents the Great Oness within which sings its Divine inspirations straight from Source and sings the Music which shows the soul its true Home. More and more I feel this to be true within my Heart and whenever I forget, the soul gets agitated and needs to listen and look up to its Divine Essence again.
