"A fool is one who goes on trusting; a fool is one who goes on trusting against all his experience. You deceive him, and he trusts you; and you deceive him again, and he trusts you. Then you will say that he is a fool, he does not learn. His trust is tremendous; his trust is so pure that nobody can corrupt it.
Be a fool in the Taoist sense, in the Zen sense. Don't try to create a wall of knowledge around you.Whatsoever experience comes to you, let it happen, and then go on dropping it. Go on cleaning your mind continuously; go on dying to the past so that you remain in the present, here now . as if just born, just a babe.
In the beginning it is going to be very difficult. The world will start taking advantage of you...let them. They are poor fellows. Even if you are cheated or deceived and robbed, let it happen, because that which is really yours cannot be robbed from you, that which is really yours nobody can steal from you.
And each time you don't allow situations to corrupt you, that opportunity will become an integration inside. Your soul will become more crystallized."- Osho
At Books, Inc. in San Francisco on February 10, 2009. That's my thumb in the pic, so I'm TOTALLY able to be in the contest.

I was trying to get a good picture of my new specs, but I ended up with this picture of me and all of my pets, reflected in our mirrored Ikea wardrobes. I really need to dust those things.
My hair came out good today. I mixed a little honey into my DevaCurl Angell.

o così o "Still loving you".
Keeping up appearances
Keeping up with the Jones'
Fooling my selfish heart
Going through the motions
But I'm fooling myself
I'm fooling myself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again
You do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again
You do it again
Everybody thinks you're well
Everybody thinks I'm ill
Watching me fall apart
Falling under your spell
But you're fooling yourself
Your fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again
You do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again
You do it again and again and again and again and again
But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again
You do it again
You say your sorry's
Then you do it again
You do it again
You say you love me
And then you do it again
You do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again
You do it again and again and again and again and again

Sunrise from Fool's Rock, Whitesides Mountain. So called because you would be foolhardy to stand here, if not for the fence. Even so it feels quite exposed.

Seven fooling around men (one, me, taking pictures, and another one lost somewhere in the picture) on the road to their hotel after a conference informal faraway in Wien. November, late after midnight, an impossible 16° Celsius heat, why not stopping o take a look to the last coiffure proposal in video along the road? Just to stay laughing and commenting for almost one hour. :-)

Happy April Fools day everyone!
I am sorry to say that this may be my last photo, as I may delete my Flickr account.* D':
*JK! Happy April Fools Day!
Whilst the adults were getting serous I went off again to fool around with the kids and practice my miserable Swahili.

0 THE FOOL/ Schattenspiel Tarot
Meanings and Details
0 THE FOOL
The Fool is an unnumbered card, but it is assigned the symbolic mathematical equation 0, or, "Zero is one plus minus one." This releases him to travel all over the deck, and The Fool has been known to occupy both the first and last place in the order of the cards. In playing cards, The Fool is also known as the "Wild Card".
Another name for the Fool is the Innocent. He may represent naïveté and the spirit of the pure unconscious, but this should not be mistaken for ignorance. I chose to photograph the Fool as a young child to convey ideas of innocence and beginnings, for he is embarking upon the journey of life. He is carrying a sack which contains his few belongings; it is often assumed that these are the Tarot's four symbols-- the cup, the sword, the pentacle, and the wand. The stick supporting the sack could however symbolize the wand. The Fool is using another stick as a support. Later, the magician will hold it aloft as a sceptre and the Hermit once again return it to its initial usage as a support. The sword, coins and cup appear muted in the border as he is still in the land of the unconscious. They reappear fully visible for the Magician.
I created a sack out of a cloth covered in skeletons, as endings are inherent in beginnings, and it is wiser to embrace the notion of Death than to live in denial of it. Although the Fool appears as yet oblivious to it, the anticipation of Death is nonetheless part of the burden we carry through life and it often remains an unresolved issue. We also carry within us the seeds of our innocence which as we travel through subsequent roles in life can help sustain us. Through the more difficult dilemmas, it may be important to recall the wonder of this initial engagement with life. Otherwise, Death may take on the appearance of a solution rather than a conclusion.
Engaged in an exploration of the world he is newly encountering, the Fool is oblivious to the dangers around him. The steep cliff is a representation of this. The dog who accompanies him is trying to warn him that danger is immanent, for in his raptures he is oblivious to his mortality. The dog, his animal guide, helps protect him. A budding tree reveals that it is springtime to further emphasize the notion of beginnings and reminding us of the cyclical nature of life. The roots reveal the interwoven foundation which provides us with support. As this is a Celtic influenced deck, it is also a reference to Celtic Knot Design and the pre-Christian worship of trees ,in particular, the Oak, in the British Isles.
On a personal note, this card represents my youth, which was spent travelling with a backpack through an endless stream of adventures and dangers. Somehow I managed to blunder my way through them all without literally falling off the cliff. I chose my son to portray the Fool, as it is now his turn to embark upon the wheel.
The dog's name is Ogre. He once consumed my favourite leather face mask. We had to fill my son's moccasin with cat food in order to to attract Ogre's interest!

Hugo Vihlen set a new record for smallest boat to have crossed the Atlantic in this boat in 1968. She's 5-foot, 11-inches!
Someone broke his record in 1993, so he set out again, at 72 years old, in an even smaller boat (Father's Day - 5 foot, 4 inches). It took him 105 days! In something that small!

Gino my eldest son sent us a email that came from his children’s school this morning, informing the parents of year 1 and reception that it has come to their attention that they have forgotten important English lessons last term so they are cancelling the Easter holidays and they need to return to school today. The email is waiting for the children at breakfast with their school uniforms neatly stacked. The funniest thing is his wife Siobhan has just told him that Hamish is in year 2 :-)
