Spring is having an identity crisis, I woke up to 4 inches of snow this morning and it's still snowing like it's January here... expecting another 2-4 inches today and who knows for tomorrow but good news... Weds it's supposed to be 54 degrees out so it will melt quickly...
"BEGIN AGAIN"
A meditation on identity. When we take away our veil, our mask, the thing we hide behind - who are we? How do we find that person under the layers of identity others put on us?
This series asks these questions, and I hope you find an answer creeping up in you as you view them. I hope you enjoy the journey of looking at all these images - 11 in total. They are hanging in the JoAnne Artman Gallery in NYC through mid-August.
Let me know which one resonates with you most!

I haven't read the comics, so I don't know if this was ever explained, but one thing that always bothered me is, how the heck does Gordon never recognize his own daughter?! It's almost as silly as Lois not recognizing Clark Kent.

As the iconic Travel Service scheme fades into the past, seeing the livery again was a real treat. This aircraft is currently based in Cologne operating on behalf of Eurowings.
It's great to see individuals express their individuality and identity within a subculture through fashion.
A subculture is a group of people that differentiate themselves through their own norms and values while keeping a number of the parent culture's principles.

Zen Mind
Zen mind is the "Natural" state of our beings: No self, no identity, no memes, no beliefs.
Any idea of "what is" takes us away from what is - to be in the moment, all ideas need to be gone. There's not even an "I" to have the ideas.
The natural being acts as an outcome of the movement of the universe, in the same way that an artist's brush is moved by its "universe".
All "teachings", "spiritual" paths or "sacred" practices actually take us away from the moment, because it needs an "I" to do them, with an agenda of some kind, something to gain. All of which removes our beingness from the identity-free moment.
The only way that "what is" can be experienced is to lose all traces of self, in which case the "what is" can't be experienced because there is no one there to experience it.
Any description of the state of the natural mind is false, including this one. "It" cannot be described. "It" is always "bigger" than the limiting description.
There is not even an "ultimate" state to gain, because the very idea that there is, takes us away from it.
All there is, is the operation of the universe in its all-ness. There's no such thing as "enlightened" or "unenlightened". These are just ideas of what is.
Even "bliss" or "transcendence" is a state of mind that needs an "I" to experience those feelings.
Thoughts are the glue of our belief structures. "I" is the creation of thoughts and beliefs.
What's happening, when we think we are functioning human beings, is the operating system of the brain, running sophisticated meme/belief structures that create the content of our identities and sense of self.
The only act awareness can "do" is to let go of "self" awareness. Awareness, to be fully there, needs to have no "I" attached to it.
Where there was self, there is now "active" emptiness.
Action, from this place, is an instantaneous, pure response to the call of the moment. It is the moment, the universe acting, not the person.
True peace is an absence of agitation, an absence of self-generated internal activity. So peace cannot be "done", or created - it's an absence of doing. This allows unadulterated "what-is" to be.
All action out of this state is completely harmonious and non-conflicting. There is nothing there to conflict with anything else.
A transcended being feels the world cleanly, whereas an "I", full of beliefs and ideas of self, overlays those unadulterated feelings with external content, imbuing them with emotional "charge". This charge is reactive to the world around it, continually creating conflict as it attempts to dissipate.
Whatever is actual or real can only be there when all ideas, all thoughts, all belief, all traces of identity are gone - when there is no "I" left to take us out of the moment. If the eternal now moment is all there is, this may be the only way to be in it.
Thought is only necessary, only of any use, when it is called for by the moment, for a particular task. To keep thinking beyond the particular call of the moment is the same as keeping your arm above your head all the time, or hopping on one leg all the time.
What comes out of the moment relates only to that moment. It's already past and nonexistent as it is experienced. To hold to anything experienced or said in that moment, is to live in the dead past.
If you can't touch it, show it, taste it, does it have any reality?

I just so happened to catch Harpo with his muzzle halfway through the cat door (really just a cat-shaped hole hacked into our back door). This is a dog who seems to think he's a cat, despite being about 70lbs.

MASQUERADE: DISCOVER YOUR OTHER.
Young people from GYRO have responded to the Keith Haring exhibition through interactive workshops.
The work presented in Tate Exchange explores the various ways that young LGBTQ+ people express themselves. The young people wanted to share that their LGBTQ+ identities are very important to them and that they do not exist in isolation from the rest of their identity.
Visitors to Tate Exchange will be encouraged to explore their own identities through a series of activities.

Interesting images, but I didn't know what LGBTQ+ stood for.
So "Google" provided the answer:
People often use LGBTQ+ to mean all of the communities included in the “LGBTTTQQIAA”:
Lesbian
Gay
Bisexual
Transgender
Transsexual
2/Two-Spirit
Queer
Questioning
Intersex
Asexual
Ally
+ Pansexual
+ Agender
+ Gender Queer
+ Bigender
+ Gender Variant
+ Pangender
LGBTQ is the more commonly used term in the community; possibly because it is more user friendly --------------- your not joking there.
----------- And I thought we were all just people, turns out to be a whole lot more complicated.
I wonder why people want to be classified at all? What's wrong with just being you ?
Well I guess that these days everybody has a right to be whatever they want to be; but I can see it creating all sorts of problems that we as a society may not want to face.
How does one feel about national identity ?
Personally, I’d identify myself mainly as Scottish, then European - though occasionally British (currently with a degree of embarrassment, sadly)
A pair of MARC RDCs purchased from NJ Transit and also lettered for the PRSL sit at the Riverside Shops in Baltimore back in 1990.
This was the fun rainbow era of MARC, where F and E units rubbed shoulders with RDCs, and leased CSX freight motors.
It was over way too soon as a fleet of MK-rebuilt GP40WH-2s and then later MPI MP36PH-3Cs and SC44s descended upon Charm City and the variety dried up.
