Mirit Ben Nun: Shortness of breath 'Shortness of breath' is not only a sign of physical weakness, it is a metaphor for a mental state of strong desire that knows no repletion; more and more, an unbearable glut, without repose. Mirit Ben Nun's type of work on the other hand requires an abundance of patience. This is a Sisyphean work (requiring hard labor) of marking lines and dots, filling every empty millimeter with brilliant blots. Therefore we are facing a paradox or a logical conflict. A patient and effortful work that stems from an urgent need to cover and fill, to adorn and coat. Her craft of layering reaches a state of a continuous ceremonial ritual. This ritual digests every object into itself - useful or discarded -- available and ordinary or rare and exceptional -- they submit and devote to the overlay work. Mirit BN gathers scrap off the streets -- cardboard rolls of fabric, assortments of wooden boards and pieces, plates and planks -- and constructs a new link, her own syntax, which she alone is fully responsible for. The new combination -- a type of a sculptural construction -- goes through a process of patching by the act of painting. In fact Mirit regards her three dimensional objects as a platform for painting, with a uniform continuity, even if it has obstacles, mounds and valleys. These objects beg her to paint, to lay down colors, to set in motion an intricate weave of abstract patterns that at times finds itself wandering the contours of human images and sometimes -- not. In those cases what is left is the monotonous activity of running the patterns, inch by inch, till their absolute coverage, till a short and passing instant of respite and than on again to a new onset. Next to this assembly of garbage and it's recycling into 'painted sculptures' Mirit offers a surprising reunion between her illustrated objects and so called cheap African sculpture; popular artifacts or articles that are classified in the standard culture as 'primitive'. This combination emphasizes the difference between her individualistic performance and the collective creation which is translated into cultural clichés. The wood carved image creates a moment of peace within the crowded bustle; an introverted image, without repetitiveness and reverberation. This meeting of strangers testifies that Mirit' work could not be labeled under the ´outsiders art´ category. She is a one woman school who is compelled to do the art work she picked out to perform. Therefore she isn't creating ´an image´ such as the carved wooden statues, but she produces breathless ´emotional jam' whose highest values are color, motion, beauty and plenitude. May it never lack, neither diluted, nor dull for even an instant

There has been a glut of fantastic sunsets over the last few nights. This is from a different angle than I usually shoot at this area and you know what?... I like it.

HOY PARA DESAYUNAR SE ME HA OCURRIDO UNA DELICATESSEN, APTA PARA QUIENES NO PODEMOS TOMAR:GLUTEN, AZUCAR NI GRASAS:
LA RECETA:
Meter en un bol para varilla electrica todos los ingredientes de la lista y darle marcha hasta que se haga una masa un tanto suave y fluída:
1 Yogur desnatado de limón (edulcorado).
3 huevos grandes (uno sin yema).
3 Medidas de yogur de harina de maiz, mejor que no sea transgénico.
Media medida de yogur de aceite de oliva suave.
Media medida de leche desnatada.
1 Sobre de levadura.
4 ó 5 sobrecitos de Estevia (orientativo).
Raspadura de medio limón
Una vez hecha la masa añadir la raspadura de limòn.
(
Un inciso, si la masa queda demasiado espesa, se puede añadir una o dos cucharadas de leche o de zumo de naranja)
A parte:
2 Manzanas golden, un puñado de arándanos deshidratados (optativo, y son mejores que las pasas pues tienen menos azúcar)
Cortar las manzanas a cuadraditos, poner en el fondo del molde debidamente aceitado, añadir los arándanos, (está mas rica con un poco de canela en polvo por encima de la manzana) y cubrir con la masa cuidando quede bien esparcida.
Al horno calentado a 180 grados.
(Probar si está ya pinchando con un cuchillo que debe quedar limpio al sacarlo de la masa)
En unos 25 ó 30 minutos estará ya cocido el pastel ;o)
Cubrir por encima, en caliente, con una mermelada sin azucar añadido, mejor de naranja dulce o amarga al gusto, pero tambien admite otras mermeladas.
Y ya está.
Dulce despertar ;o)
¡Cuidado no he dicho que no engorde!, jajajaaa.
Mi palabra de "horror" que se prepara en menos de un cuarto de hora, jajajaaa.
¡Tremendo horror para los perezosos, palabra de cocinillas!
Jejejeee.
^_^

Gottes Licht und Mut im Herzen tragen
1.) Gottes Licht und Mut im Herzen tragen,
In dem Sturm des Schicksals nicht verzagen,
Was die Menschheit hoch erhebt und ehrt
Mit der Seele reinster Glut umfassen,
Für die Wahrheit Leib und Leben lassen,
Hat dein Beispiel, Gottesheld, gelehrt!
2.) In der Zweifel und des Harrens Zeiten
Sichern Weg dem Heiland zu bereiten,
Der des Himmels Reich der Erde schuf.
Kühn die Macht des Irrtums niederbeugen,
Mit dem Blute für die Treue zeugen
War dein welterweckender Beruf.
3.) So geschah's - die Welt, in Nacht versunken,
Weckten deines Geistes Blitzesfunken,
Deines Wortes donnernde Gewalt.
Eines schönern Tages Morgengluten
Tauchen aus des Irrtums finstern Fluten,
Gleich der Tugend leuchtender Gestalt.
4.) Wie dein Heldenmut bekämpft das Böse.
Ehrst in Demut du des Mittlers Größe,
Wählst den Kerker, dass er Zeugnis sei:
Wie die Gottgebornen Gott nur achten,
Nur nach seines Reiches Frieden trachten,
Fern von aller Furcht und Heuchelei.
5.) Höhern Ruhm, als alle Welt kann geben,
Hat der Heiland deinem Gottesstreben,
Deinem wandellosen Sinn erteilt:
'Sucht ihr einen Menschen, des' Gedanken
Wie die euern hier- und dorthin schwanken,
Dessen Sinn auf niedern Lüsten weilt:
6.) O, dann habt ihr Toren euch betrogen! -
Nein, ein Mann, von Gottes Geist erzogen,
Und von Gottes Licht und Kraft erfüllt,
Wie noch keinen diese Welt geboren,
Ist Johannes! Höret, habt, ihr Ohren:
Gott hat sein Geheimnis euch enthüllt.'
7.) Möge uns dein Sinn und Geist durchdringen,
Dass wir dir ein würdig Danklied singen,
Würdig deiner Hoheit uns erfreun.
Möge deines Glaubens Sieg uns stärken,
Deine Tugend uns zu edeln Werken
Licht und Liebe, Mut und Vorbild sein.
8.) Keine sichre Bürgschaft kann auf Erden
Für den Himmel uns gegeben werden,
Als dem Dienst der Menschheit uns zu weihn,
Als mit ganzer Seele, ganzem Herzen,
Unter Kämpfen, Duldungen und Schmerzen,
Gott und seinem Willen treu zu sein.

This photo was captured in 2011 (see the first comment below for the original) and edited last week. Since I seem to have moved on from G.I. Joe (temporarily, at least), I thought this dark, somewhat military-flavored photo could serve as a palate cleanser after the glut of Old West photos... and before the glut of Old West photos that's sure to come.

Every year, the bounty of the growing season can produce more than individual growers in Dorset and elsewhere can possibly use. Clockwise from top left....
Cucumbers - Donations please to the Children's Society.
Apple windfalls - Please help yourself.
Blackberries - foraged from the hedgerows.
Chillies - free, help yourself.
All are gratefully put to very good use!

Sorry about the glut of baby Snowy Owl photos, but for some reason I overlooked this one,. I think this gives the best view of the complete cutesy package! Look at those fluffy white pantaloon legs and feet (and those talons)! Made Explore #314 on 14th July 2008. She is a girl not a boy. To see how she is growing access the photostream of her owner Yumnic!

Sorry folks, for the glut of shorebird shots, but you know...I just can't help but click over 500 shots when I see them. They move so quickly through the shallows, gathering food and every shot is a new pose. Enjoy...and oh, I will be going back whenever the sun comes back to see if I can spot any other peeps out there.

Grown by Kim, there has been a welcome late glut of cucumbers. Some have been eaten raw in salads and sandwiches whilst these are to make a second jar of pickles.
Built in 1941 as an emergency grain store, it is the only one of its type left in Victoria. A second, larger shed with double the capacity was also constructed at Murtoa in 1942-43 and demolished in 1975. A third shed was commenced at Murtoa but never completed.

The wood carved image creates a moment of peace within the crowded bustle; an introverted image, without repetitiveness and reverberation. This meeting of strangers testifies that Mirit' work could not be labeled under the ´outsiders art´ category. She is a one woman school who is compelled to do the art work she picked out to perform. Therefore she isn't creating ´an image´ such as the carved wooden statues, but she produces breathless ´emotional jam' whose highest values are color, motion, beauty and plenitude. May it never lack, neither diluted, nor dull for even an instant
