"Find a calm lake and wait for the twilight in silence! There, existence will visit you with all its magnificence! The existence of the Existence can best be felt in the presence of dimness and in the absence of crowds and noises!"

...
when I am another, my acts
are more mine when they are the acts
of others, in order to be I must be another,
leave myself, search for myself
in the others, the others that don't exist
if I don't exist, the others that give me
total existence, I am not,
there is no I, we are always us,
life is other, always there,
further off, beyond you and
beyond me, always on the horizon,
life which unlives us and makes us strangers,
that invents our face and wears it away...

Existence is short but if you need me
You can find me trapped between
The open mouth of the sky monster
Glaring eyes above and below
Teeth that pierce the clouds
A forest face and a dense destructive blue
Please note that my call back hours are short
The internet connection is quite drained
It is better to visit in person or
Write your tender message
On a folded fortune cookie strip
and blow it upwards.

A solitary pansy ekes out an existence in a narrow crack between the paving stones where ants have disturbed the soil below allowing it to find enough nutrients to survive.

You were taken away by the wind,
but a breeze brought me the most beautiful whisper...
...What we have in our hearts is the only truth,
and if we deny it, we deny our own existence.
For all the time of its existence, fortress has changed 3 names. The original name is Agarani (historians have identified it as Kojris tsikhe). It is located on Mount Azeula (Trialeti Ridge). The exact date of construction of the fortress is unknown. According to archaeologists, it was built in the late eighth-early ninth century. It controlled the caravan route from Gardabani to Shida Kartli and from Tbilisi to Trialeti.
Since 1080, the fortress passes to the Seljuk Turks. Under their rule, the name Ker Oglu appears. This name is common to this day. Then the fortress passes to Emir Fadlun.
1118. The fortress was recaptured by David IV Agmashenebeli (the Builder) from the Ganja Emir Fadlun. After some time, the fortress again passes to the emir, then, after three months of fighting, the fortress again passed to David. In 1123, David IV gave the fortress to Prince Ioane Orbeli.
1177. The fortress appears in the history of the uprising against Tsar George III (the father of Queen Tamar). The princes of Orbeli (or Orbeliani) did not share something with the king, they made a noise. The rebels took refuge in the fortress, and in the same year the fortress was taken by storm. As a result, the Knizia were defeated, losing all their lands.
And what about without Queen Tamar (1184-1212). The chronicles mention that Tamara, who was seriously ill, spent about six months here.
Since the XV century, Agarani belongs to the Solagashvili family and appears in the sources as Kojris-tsikhe. The ruins of the Kabensky Monastery are relatively close by. One of the churches was a tomb of this kind.
In 1488, Iranian troops besieged the Kojor fortress. After that, the fortress does not particularly appear in the chronicles. Only the appearance of the palace in the XVII century is mentioned. There were no other key events in the history of the fortress.
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

My soul, a mysterious flower!
My little heavenly soul!
The abode of Light, the source of Beauty!
The servant of Love, the Divine healer!
When you open your petals
and exude tenderness with your fragrance,
your steps become airy and light,
and serenity becomes a soft veil.
Like the surface of water, and the silvery light,
and the moonlit path in the reflection.
A solemn, ecstatic moment-
The fire of love in earthly transformation!.....(Rose from my garden)What a demonic beauty!
And you can't take your eyes off it!
It has so much fiery passion
And a noble demeanor!
Its exquisite form is flawless,
It evokes a surge of emotion.
With its timeless sophistication,
It exudes elegance and glamour!
Its sharp thorns compel us to ponder,
As we pluck its petals,
And kneel before it,
To enjoy perfection once again!
From it's most earliest days in the early 1900's to it's sad end in the mid 1950's Packard maintained a signature design element on their grill surrounds. Starting lower on the sides the grill surrounds would bump up and raise in the center, and you will find versions of this on every model of every Packard for every year of Packard's existence. When I first came upon the Reo in the photo the first thing I noticed was the Packard like grill surround, and thinking, in fact, that it was indeed a Packard. Well, that was only true until I noticed the emblem in the center with the letters R E O emblazoned on it. Like Packard in their day, Reo was considered somewhat of a luxury automobile, and as such, they were priced accordingly. I suspect, however, that they didn't have the same panache that Packard enjoyed. So, was the Packard like grill surround on this 1930 Reo a design coincidence, or could you say that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?" REO, the company, was founded by the former founder and owner of the Oldsmobile company, Ransom E. Olds (Notice the first letters in his name REO.) The company started in Lansing, Michigan, and had a long and somewhat successful history producing cars and trucks from 1905 to 1975. In 1936, Reo stopped producing cars in favor of devoting it's time to the end in 1975 to producing trucks.

Although truck orders during World War II enabled it to revive somewhat, the company remained unstable in the postwar era, resulting in a bankruptcy reorganization. In 1954, the company was still underperforming, and sold its vehicle manufacturing operations (the primary asset of the company) to the Bohn Aluminum and Brass Corporation of Detroit. Three years later, in 1957, Reo's vehicle manufacturing operation became a subsidiary of the White Motor Company. White then merged REO with Diamond T Trucks in 1967 to form Diamond Reo Trucks. In 1975, this company filed for bankruptcy and most of its assets were liquidated. Volvo later took over White and thus currently owns the rights to the REO brand name.

The older I get the more I begin to believe that the lifespan of the human species is finite. I think there is no question that at some point in the future we will manage to exterminate ourselves. Which when you think about it is superbly ironic for supposedly the most intelligent life form on this planet! Perhaps we should ask the ants and the rats for advice because I'm sure like these wonderful old trees they will out survive us and go on to thrive long after we have either blown ourselves to smithereens or managed to pollute ourselves out of existence.
Have a good day everyone! 😇
