One of my artworks for the exhibition TIME WARPS at Kondor Art Garden.

Thanks to my partner Eli Medier for his poem:

 

"Run

before the cold reaches you

and freezes your thoughts

Under a crescent moon

and a strange lonely star

Three degrees

and even less in the wind

without defenses

Run

escape the spell

of the night

that infernal color

It is a purple

or a blue

they play dead"

[TAKE IT - EZ] SINGLE POSE - CHILL UP

Once a year (but be warned: according to the Balinese calendar!) young people meets and - after a very joyous body-painting - they walk through dozens of villages - where all the people is expecting them. Why?They parade, singing, shouting, playing. Addressed to the whole Universe: "This is our land! Evil Spirits away from here!"Through rice fields, forests and rivers. For hours and miles. They stop every once in a temple and pray.

"This is our land! Evil Spirits away from here!"

You would say: "folklore" - "primitivism."But better to know that in Bali, the first day of the year (again according to the Balinese calendar!) three indications are strictly complied with:- no fire - no walking - no working plus one:- Silence.

And, for 24 hours, the streets are deserted, no flights in or out!, all the families at home.

Why? There's an explanation: this is the day when the evil spirits are coming flying over the island. They see it deserted ... and they go where humans - taken from their activism - are not realizing what is happening, and let Bad Spirits enter in their villages, in their houses, in their hearts.An example of a very powerful Bad Spirit? Greed!!!

Can you imagine something like in your country? Can you imagine the power of 24 hours of silence… 24 hours with no TV, no Internet, no cars, no work, no planes, no politicians, no advertising, no newspapers, no thieves (in every village, for some urgencies you are authorized to move, of course, but a self-organized village guards pay attention to movements from special places called Bale – a rotten-built small house you can see in every village).

Look at their faces, look at the beauty of being aware of the personal and collective responsibility to be free!To guarantee a balance between taking and giving - with the environment and among men - is the key of the Balinese spirituality in every day life.That's why they smile and look at you in the eyes every time they meet another human being.

PS: "Thank you" in Indonesian is "Terima Kasih" - they say in Dictionaries. But the true translation is: "To Give, To Receive"

✨"I love Loving Nature.."✨

✨ I love Loving Nature pouring love everywhere, No one or even "Still Life" is spared, everything is growth, greenery, even the paved roads let life appear... by its small solitary flowers piercing the tar ... .

 

💕 Everything is harmony between all living species on Earth; Let's look at the Earth with all these Colors, these Shades.... it's Harmony! , it's a Work of Art!.... and everything that is ugly, black, in this painting that we are looking at, take a good look, it's the Human Being who creates it. 💕

 

Fragile..., Nature does what she can, but some have lost their values, by the lure of gain, material wealth... . Wealth makes us lose the goodness of the heart, we don't value what Mother Nature offers us..., we kill her little by little, and this is only the beginning, with this climate in disarray.

We Kill it and we Suffer it... by Our Fault.

 

Material wealth helps Happiness, but it's not Happiness.. I don't care if I earn a little or a lot, the important thing is what I grow inside my garden and what I share on the outside.... but it"s true that if I am the only one to share my Interior... well I will have nothing to share with those who are different from me, who are closed and never say what they think.

 

Pride, an oversized ego, greed, vanity, lying and falsehood are not part of my life. And I'm not even here to support it! lol!.

 

Happy with my simplicity, and happy to share it with people who have the same values ​​as me, and that my parents and God taught me. A sensible, healthy life with values ​​of Respect, Sharing, Authenticity, Compassion, Love. ✨L.A. 10/10/2022

✨ " Me encanta la Naturaleza amandonos "✨

✨ Me encanta la Naturaleza que nos ama derramando amor por todas partes, Nadie, ni siquiera la "Naturaleza muerta" se salvan, todo es crecimiento, verdor, hasta los caminos pavimentados dejan aparecer la vida... por sus pequenas flores solitarias perforando el alquitran... .

  

💕 Todo es armonia entre todas las especies vivas de la Tierra; Miremos la Tierra con todos estos Colores, estos Tonos... ¡es Armonia! , es una Obra de Arte!.... y todo lo que es feo, negro, en que estamos mirando, fijense bien, es el Ser Humano Quien lo Crea. 💕

 

Fragil..., la Naturaleza hace lo que puede, pero algunos han perdido sus valores, por el senuelo de la ganancia, la riqueza material... . La riqueza nos hace perder la bondad del corazon, no valoramos lo que nos ofrece la Madre Naturaleza..., la vamos matando poco a poco, y esto es solo el principio, con este clima en desorden.

Lo Matamos y lo Sufrimos... por Nuestra Culpa.

 

La riqueza material ayuda a la Felicidad, pero no es Felicidad.. No me importa si gano poco o mucho, lo importante es lo que cultivo dentro de mi jardin y lo que comparto afuera.... pero es cierto que si soy la unica que comparte mi Interior... pues no tendré nada que compartir con los que son diferentes a mi, que son cerrados y nunca dicen lo que piensan de verdade !.

 

El orgullo, un ego sobredimensionado, la codicia, la vanidad, la mentira y la falsedad no forman parte de mi vida. ¡Y ni siquiera estoy aqui para apoyarlo ni soportalo ! lol !

 

Feliz con mi sencillez, y feliz de poder compartirla con personas que tienen los mismos valores que yo, y que mis padres y Dios me ensenaron. Una vida sensata, saludable con valores de Respeto, de Compartir, de Autenticidad, de Compasión, de Amor. L.A. 10/08/2022

 

************************ ❤ **********************

✨"J'aime la Nature Aimante .."✨

✨ J' aime la Nature Aimante nous déversant de l'amour en toute part , Personne ni même "Aucune Nature Morte" n'est épargnée, tout est croissance, verdure, même les route goudronnées laissent apparaitre la Vie ... par ses petites fleurs solitaires perçant le goudron ... .

 

💕 Tout est harmonie entre toute les espèces vivantes sur Terre; Regardons la Terre avec toutes ces Couleurs, ces Nuances.... c'est Harmonie ! , c'est une Oeuvre d'Art !.... et tout ce qui est moche, noir, pauvre, dans ce tableau que nous regardons, regardez bien c'est l'Etre humain qui le crée. 💕

 

Fragile..., la Nature fait ce qu'elle peut, mais certains ont perdu leurs valeurs, par l'appât du gain, les richesses matérielles ... . Les richesses nous fait perdre la bonté du coeur, on ne valorise pas ce que Mère Nature nous Offre.., on la tue petit à petit, et ce n'est que le début, avec ce climat en déroute.

Nous la Tuons et nous la Subissons... par Notre Faute.

 

Les richesses matérielles aide au Bonheur, mais ce n'est pas le Bonheur.. Moi je m'en Fou de gagner peu ou beaucoup , l'important c' est ce que je cultive à l'intérieur de mon jardin et que je partage à l'extérieur.... mais il est vrai que si je suis la seule à partager mon Intérieur... et bien je n'aurai rien à partager avec ceux qui sont différent de moi, qui sont fermés et ne disent jamais ce qu'ils pensent.

 

l'Orgueil, un ego surdimensionné, l'avidité, la vanité, le mensonge et la fausseté ne font pas partie de ma vie. Et je ne suis même pas là pour la supporter ! lol !.

 

Heureuse par ma simplicité, et heureuse de la partager avec des personnes ayant les mêmes valeurs que moi, et que mes parents et Dieu m'ont enseignées. Une vie sensée, et saine avec des valeurs de Respect , de Partage, d'Authenticité, de Compassion, d' Amour. ✨ L.A. 10/08/2022

something made me feel safe. Was it him?

Or was it me feeling more in control now that I could see his face?

His face his eyes ... his whisper... why was i calm?

It would be very greedy if I ate all of these myself. Could be for gluttony if I ate them all at once as well.

52 weeks of 2023 - Seven deadly sins

This is what it looks like when a coot sees you standing by the canal bank and thinks you've got food! The trail behind it was probably twice as long as the picture shows.it was determined not to take off, but belted along as fast as its legs could move it for some 20-30 metres. Unbelievable! Serious aggression too! No...we're not bird feeders. No bread or other edibles were used in the making of this picture!

GREED: Greed is called the excessive desire of a person to have wealth and goods.

CODICIA: Se denomina codicia el afán desmedido de una persona por tener riquezas y bienes.

"I like to think that my arrogance, impetuosity, impatience, selfishness and greed are the qualities that make me the lovable chap I am."

─ Richard Hammond

Black Vulture, meaning business (-;

Not to be a dooms sayer, but I wonder how many of us who post this will find our accounts eliminated over the weekend. Jyst call me Squished Pickle

 

The reason I'm Bitter

No account is safe.......

 

I had my only flicker pro account deleted because of content, though they were never clear as to what content was offensive, all my picks on that account were safe?...

 

this was during the first weeks of Smugs takeover.

A cat is tied and carried along a penny inlaid road followed by a workman pushing a cart filled with coins. Power, control, or just plain greed? This is the first violent installation I've seen from artist Tom Otterness. The violence takes place along the Hudson River where other serene bronze characters sit with their feet dangling in the river or viewing the Statue of Liberty through binoculars.

 

This group of work is titled "In the Real World" and can be found in a playground in the Rockefeller Park section of Battery Park where children can climb or sit on many of the installations . I'd love to hear how the parents describe these sculptures to their children...

This little chipmunk really like peanuts. He stopped by many times to grab more

Standing before his throne, my mind went into a whirl of memories

...moments of want and desire ... of things that were never meant to be mine

 

Yes Greed was very familiar to me, his face was a mirror.. not a reflection but a depth,

one that continued beyond places I had long forgot

 

There was a sameness to this moment.....

 

He took a deep breath and began to hiss...

 

on a self seeded wild flower in my garden.

The remains of the old bank in Ryolite, Nevada stands as a reminder of the emptiness of greed. A life dominated by the "want of money" and "things" is a hollow thing indeed!
