I am a cat
meditating on the dance floor
observing
see humans jumping
in dresses they wouldn't normally wear
doing things they wouldn't normally do
hugging and spinning
......
what a strange world
how strange humans are
But then again
I am a cat
I am not a name
I am not a height,
I am not a weight or an age.
I am not a color
I am not a gender
I am not a race
I am not where I am from.
I am who I am learning to be,
I am where I am going,
I am where I am, here,
and I am Human.

It is a great wonder how we humans who live on this planet can look so different. We belong to different races, these races or tribes have different skin color, body shapes, average heights, eye color, face shape, voice, hair, strength... and the list goes on. But something that unites us all is what comes in and out of the eyes no matter what color or shape they are. It has been said that all creatures that have eyes possess a soul. Maybe that which lives inside each of us that we cannot see is using our eyes to communicate and to see. When someone wants you to be honest with them, they ask you to look them straight in the eyes, because the eyes, or what looks through the eyes, is not able to lie. The truth of us, of who we are and of what lives inside us has the eyes for its gateway. If electrical impressions can come in to the eyes, then it would suggest that they can come out in the same way. So much mystery lives in our very own human design...

Having completely decluttered due to a house move 2 years ago, it appears I am becoming a human Magpie again, filling my home with pointless, shiny objects. I googled 'human Magpie' and found the following:
Nine reasons why people have clutter -
1. You have a busy life.
2. You're comfortable with mess.
3. You've suffered an illness or a bereavement.
4. Your life is out of balance.
5. You or someone close to you has cared for someone through a period of depression or illness.
6. One or both parents was a collector/hoarder/inventor or creative.
7. You're struggling with loneliness.
8. Your personality type.
9. We live in a consumer society.
Or indeed none of the above.
Aachen 18.1.25
There were repeated, sometimes violent, actions from the counter-demonstrators against the registered main demonstration and the police forces.

On January 18, 2025, violent riots broke out in Aachen during a registered demonstration by right-wing nationalists.
Every day the silly human runs into Williamsburg to photograph the colors and textures of Brooklyn. Every day she tells me, "you can take the girl out of Brooklyn, but you can't take Brooklyn out of the girl!"
Well, Silly Human, what I say is, "home is where the heart is" AND I'M IN QUEENS! " sigh..........

Cerca de Úbeda la grande
cuyos cerros nadie verá,
me iba siguiendo la luna sobre el olivar

Sarebbe bello se potessimo cogliere questa occasione per un nuovo mondo, più equo e sostenibile. Una svolta green che gli interessi economici hanno sempre ostacolato in favore del puro profitto.
La Natura siamo noi. E se non la aiutiamo, lei diventerà nostra nemica. Ed è più forte e resiliente di noi.

"The need of expansion is as genuine an instinct in man as the need in a plant for the light, or the need in man himself for going upright. The love of liberty is simply the instinct in man for expansion." Matthew Arnold
"La necesidad de expansión es un instinto tan genuino en el hombre como en una planta la necesidad de luz, o la necesidad en el hombre también de salir a flote. El amor a la libertad es simplemente el instinto en el hombre por la expansión ". Matthew Arnold

Part of my brief "Human After All". Done by layering adverts from magazines on top of each other, then placing a layer of brown paper on top. I then cut away layers of paper to reveal parts of the advert to spell out "Human After All". I added some stickers I had lying around as well, since I thought it looked a bit empty on that side.
Gorille au Bioparc de Valence (Espagne)
L'ADN des gorilles est de 98 % à 99 % identique à celui de l'homme. Ils sont les êtres vivants les plus proches de l'homme après le Bonobo et le Chimpanzé.
Les gorilles vivent dans les forêts tropicales ou subtropicales. Leur présence couvre un faible pourcentage de l'Afrique. On les trouve cependant à des altitudes très variées. Le gorille des montagnes vit dans les forêts de nuages des Montagnes des Virunga, d'une altitude allant de 2200 à 4300 mètres. Les gorilles de plaine vivent eux dans les forêts denses et les marécages des plaines.
Les gorilles vivent en groupe avec à leur tête un mâle adulte appelé «dos argenté». La composition des groupes varie de deux à trente individus, la moyenne se situant entre 10 et 15. En général chaque groupe se compose d'un mâle adulte (mâle à dos d'argent), d'un ou de plusieurs mâles plus jeunes (mâles à dos noirs), de plusieurs femelles adultes (cinq à six) et de quelques petits. Lorsqu'il y a plusieurs mâles dans un groupe, seul le mâle dominant peut s'accoupler.
Male Gorilla at Valencia Bioparc (Spain).
Gorillas constitute the eponymous genus Gorilla, the largest extant genus of primates by size. They are ground-dwelling, predominantly herbivorous apes that inhabit the forests of central Africa. The genus is divided into two species and either four or five subspecies. The DNA of gorillas is highly similar to that of a human, from 95–99% depending on what is counted, and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after the bonobo and common chimpanzee.
Gorillas' natural habitats cover tropical or subtropical forests in Africa. Although their range covers a small percentage of Africa, gorillas cover a wide range of elevations. The mountain gorilla inhabits the Albertine Rift montane cloud forests of the Virunga Volcanoes, ranging in altitude from 2,200–4,300 metres (7,200–14,100 ft). Lowland gorillas live in dense forests and lowland swamps and marshes as low as sea level, with western lowland gorillas living in Central West African countries and eastern lowland gorillas living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo near its border with Rwanda.
