Tok en liten kjøretur før skole-henting i dag, og tror kanskje jeg fikk noen gode bilder? Regner med fotografiet ovenfor går igjennom hos Adobe Stock Photo, så ber om at evt. interesserte kjøper bildet av dem, eller aller helst direkte av PermaLiv. Men det går nok noe tid før det kommer opp hos Adobe, da godkjenningen deres går tregt, får godkjent et par-tre bilder nå og da, så frykter det kan ta hele 2021 før alle bildene mine er gjennomgått. For bildet av gamlefar som plukker epler i hagen lenger ned her, fikk jeg beskjed om at han først må undertegne en modell-erklæring, så får prøve å få ordnet dette i jula.
Vi går mot slutten av katastrofe-året 2020, hvor vårt fedreland og hele den vestlige sivilisasjon falt sammen med et brak, men så hadde da også hele rammeverket blitt markspist gjennom årtier, så annet var vel ikke å vente.
Nå, i ruinene av den vestlige sivilisasjon, er det viktigste vi kan gjøre å minnes, selv om de fleste helst ser ut til å ville glemme. Men PermaLiv skal gjøre sitt beste for å samle minner fra den skjønne tiden, med sine kamera(ter).
Som sivilisert menneske er det litt vanskelig å stå på bar bakke, uten noen sivilisasjon under føttene, i alle fall ikke noen høysivilisasjon. Men, foruten å samle minner, må vi også prøve å forstå hvordan det kunne gå så fryktelig galt? Her har The Catholic World Report mange gode analyser, hvor de nå igjen trår til med et dypdykk, for å forstå hvor vi sporet av:
- Atheism: The core of modern Western culture in the thought of Augusto del Noce
"Here Del Noce surprises us yet again. What emerged in the West was not the victory of liberty or democracy (as interpreted ad nauseum by contemporary media), but rather a “new totalitarianism,” along with a new atheism, in a sense more pernicious than those served up by the older atheistic totalitarianism in the East. To those accustomed to reduce democracy to the vote, Del Noce’s claim appears ludicrous. Yet again, Del Noce’s thought goes to the depths. The deepest roots of totalitarianism are not the mere absence of ballot boxes, but the curtailing of rationality, the ultimate denial of reason’s scope and depth. If there is no transcendent, immutable truth that our reason has access to, then there is no immutable ethics determined by reason, and political authority is in a position to define for itself the right and the wrong. Ethics and culture become subsumed by politics. Under this regime, anyone who attempts to formulate an argument against the state cannot do on any recognizably rational basis. The attempted criticism will be interpreted along the lines of the class/ race/ gender triumvirate. The state need not even get involved in “exposing” such critics. There is never any shortage of academics who are happy to do it; to reveal the class, race and gender biases of “conservatives”puts them on the cutting edge. This is the deepest root of totalitarianism, and Del Noce saw it progressively taking hold in the West. The only truth that exists is that defined by the scientistic-technocratic way of thinking that came to the fore once scientific positivism came to prevail." - Dr. Thomas R. Rourke

Kommunalsjefen i et nøtteskall! Han mener rett og slett at den eneste sannhet som eksisterer, er den som er definert av vitenskapelig-teknokratisk tenkning. Med andre ord har ikke PermaLiv rett til å tenke, eller i alle fall har ikke PermaLivs tenkning rett til å bli tatt på alvor, fordi PermaLiv ikke baserer seg på hva James Kalb definerer som scientisme. Men da denne tenkningen har som kjerne å erstatte Gud med mennesket og tradisjonene med scientisme, synes PermaLiv at satanisme er et bedre begrep på den tenkningen som bedrives nede i kommunen.
Nei, takke meg til tenketanken i Holmstadengen!

All things are possible up to a certain point. Then they become impossible.
Maybe that blue dot represents eating a ham and cheese baguette under the Eiffel Tower in three months. But as time approaches the now moment, the chance of it happening eventually falls outside of the cone of possibility.
History is a single wavering line, forever immutable.
Rabbit seems pretty relaxed and happy out here. She's been here since Thanksgiving of last year. She loves her yard and wants to be outside on sunny days. She's a fast runner and barks briefly and appropriately when her territory is challenged. (A bit of a change from our former, much-loved coonhounds.)
She and the Pyrs get along when Rabbit obeys the Immutable Laws of the Pasture, and that's most of the time.
Rabbit tried to touch Waccamaw the duck with her nose one day. Mouse appeared out of nowhere and decked her in about a tenth of a second. No bite, just a body slam and a brief grip around the neck.
Mouse let her right up and Rabbit seems to have learned her lesson. She and Mouse get along well otherwise.
She still has nightmares occasionally, and she's afraid of swinging doors. Even a one-ounce touch from a door makes her yelp. Maybe she got caught in a door once. She runs to me or Molly whenever she's scared of something.
She's a really sweet girl, always ready for a hug.
“We don’t want to be seen as human. We’re terrified of being seen as human, because if someone sees our humanity they might reject us. If someone sees our faults, if they see our shortcomings, if they see that we’re not all together, then they might distance themselves from us because they see our humanity. This is why you are on your best behavior when other people are around and you’re not, necessarily, if you’re just at your house or in your car…….. You want to protect people from being able to see your humanity, but here’s what’s beautiful: God in his immutability has seen all of your humanity and has not distanced himself. He has drawn near, and that’s where we get our confidence to keep getting back up, to keep leaning into the gospel, to keep following him with all of our hearts, because he’s not going to change his mind concerning us, despite us.”
I’m so grateful that the transcript for this sermon is finally up on the web. These very words have been replaying in my head for a few weeks. I have even been tempted to revisit the sermon to hear them again. I have been rather quiet lately here on IG. I had intended to write a New Year/End of the Year wrap up post and never got to it. When I heard this sermon I was overwhelmed by the idea of perfection. At one point Pastor Matt says (and I’m paraphrasing because I couldn’t find it) we should be spend less time on the idea/image of perfection because imagine what else we could accomplish. Wow! I know I am weighed down continuously by perfection, by not being this or that because of this or that, or that the truths I am feeling will not measure up to an invisible standard. I recently became convinced the burden that is perfectionism could most certainly be interpreted as a mental illness. Great, I thought as if Anxiety and Depression and the other “little” accompaniments to those are not enough. I have to contend with this idea of perfection too. Don’t be judgmental Maddie. Don’t be too loud or intimidating. Don’t bring up the past. Don’t communicate. Don’t be vulnerable. Don’t try because you know already it won’t be perfect or better yet your effort will go unnoticed. I am powerless to control my own life, let alone what others will feel about my humanity.
I love this idea that I can “lean into the gospel”. I am not entirely sure what it can look like, but as someone who struggles to look for help from anyone because trust, because of bone deep doubt you will not give me the help needed, or any number of history filled reasons…this notion of leaning on words gives me goosebumps. Leaning on God’s words? How hard do you think we are allowed to lean? Because I’m thinking about a suffocation level of leaning.
We are three weeks into the New Year. I’m going to polish the penny of my perfection with some grimy truth. It has been a rough three weeks. Nightmares, physical strife (thank you Depression/Stress/Stubbornness), DOUBT, and listening to the exercises of a poisonous mind. To say I’m wide awake, perked up with hope for the New Year, and ready to tackle 2018 would be a lie. I know me. I second guess myself about telling anyone things like this because I’m wondering; am I being a “Debbie Downer” by ‘never’ having anything good to say? Am I checking out from being a preacher of hope? Am I making people what to pass by my posts because here goes Maddie again about that ugly word, struggle?
In my devotions, this came up from Papa Lewis:
“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say “My tooth is aching” than to say “My heart is broken.”
And then in the wake of pondering a 2018 photography theme for my Flickr album I came across this Brené Brown quote:
"You're imperfect, and you're wired for struggle, but You Are Worthy of love and belonging."
I knew then that my album for the year would surround imperfection. 2017 I said let’s “exist” and in 2018 I want to embrace my imperfection. I want to hurdle towards my humanity knowing I have the ultimate “back-up team”, God. Hiding our humanity and perpetuating the idea of perfection is exhausting. I’m already exhausted, I don’t know about you, but I don’t need any help in that department. Your struggle is always reshaping you and standing by to use you, grow you, and change you. God never changes.
Here’s more words from the Sermon that have continued to follow me around:
“…the right play is not to RAIL against heaven but to WONDER what God is up to.”
Don’t Rail. Wonder.
And how does my picture coincide with these thoughts? I took it January 1st and stewed over it that it isn’t “special” or “perfect photography genius”. It is simply an example of how I try to see art in my “small” world and I decided I’m posting it. Imperfect 😉.

"A scientific mode of thinking that imperiously surveys the world and which objectifies and dominates nature must be supplanted by a philosophy that understands the world as a dynamic, living organism 'pregnant' with myriad of potentialities. By refusing to sever the 'organic bonds' that link us immutably to external nature, we can come to the realization that we are part of an 'eternal body', a generalized flesh that can never expire. Evoking Bergson, Merleau-Ponty argues that our body reaches out to the stars and is co-extensive with the universe as a whole, thereby constituting a 'primordial We. As he writes: 'There is a kinship between the being of the earth and that of my body. This kinship extends to others, who appear to me as other bodies, to animals whom I understand as variants of my embodiment, and finally even to terrestrial bodies' (Merleau-Ponty, 1970: 122-3)" (Michael Gardiner)
Wise words that feel so true in my flesh. In city life where we have learned to believe so firmly in effectiveness, growth and traditional natural scientific thinking, it is easy to go along to treating nature, world and other people as "resources" and assuming an operative and instrumental attitude towards the world. Bigger perspective gets lost easily and life becomes narrow and self-centered. In nature things that seem so important in everyday city life return back to a vast and deep perspective where they belong: feeling the pulse of the world and losing oneself into the fabric of being that is the whole world makes reducing the world into our western everyday beliefs impossible. That's one of my reasons for loving being in nature and countryside.

Το 375 μ.Χ. μία σεισμική δόνηση απέκοψε τη χερσόνησο δημιουργώντας ένα βράχο που έμελλε να μείνει στη θάλασσα αγέρωχος και αναλλοίωτος στην αιωνιότητα, φυσικό φρούριο, προστάτης ψυχών, διακηρυγμένος πόθος των μεγαλύτερων αυτοκρατοριών που γνώρισε ο πλανήτης. Αυτός ο βράχος, κάποτε μονοπάτι του Μυκηναϊκού και του Μινωικού πολιτισμού, χάρη στη μία και μοναδική πρόσβαση (μόνη έμβαση) που τον ενώνει με την Πελοπόννησο ονομάστηκε Μονεμβάσια.
In 375 AD an earthquake cut off the peninsula, creating a rock that was to remain at sea cocky and immutable in eternity, a natural fortress, professed desire of the largest empires the world has known. This rock, sometimes the path of the Mycenaean and Minoan culture, through a single access who joins the Peloponnesus, called Monemvasia.
The Course of Empire is a five-part series of paintings created by Thomas Cole in the years 1833–36. It is notable in part for reflecting popular American sentiments of the times, when many saw pastoralism as the ideal phase of human civilization, fearing that empire would lead to gluttony and inevitable decay. The theme of cycles is also one that Cole returned to frequently, such as in his The Voyage of Life series.
The series was acquired by The New-York Historical Society in 1858 as a gift of the New-York Gallery of Fine Arts and comprises the following works: The Course of Empire – The Savage State; The Course of Empire – The Arcadian or Pastoral State; The Course of Empire – The Consummation of Empire; The Course of Empire – Destruction; and The Course of Empire – Desolation.
The series of paintings depicts the growth and fall of an imaginary city, situated on the lower end of a river valley, near its meeting with a bay of the sea. The valley is distinctly identifiable in each of the paintings, in part because of an unusual landmark: a large boulder is precariously situated atop a crag overlooking the valley. Some critics believe this is meant to contrast the immutability of the earth with the transience of man.
Art at Parker Center
Sook Jin Jo, 2009. Parker Center, 150 N. Los Angeles Street near Parker Center.
Text from the plaque: There are three primary elements in this public art project: columns, bells, and ribbons. The numbers associated with these elements carry a unique meaning, from the nine columns (consisting of five larger and four smaller columns) to the 108 bells and ribbons suspended from the central trellis system. The number 5 references the five-member Board of Police Commissioners, and the number 4 references the four-star insignia of the Chief of Police. When added together, the numbers 5 and 4 create the number 9. Across various cultures, the number 9, as the highest single digit number, suggests perfection, immutable truth, and a triumph of stability and balance over volatility and disparity. The bells symbolize elements of renewal, peace, harmony, freedom, protection and spirituality. Each ribbon hanging from the bells is etched with text contributed by the community. As part of the Japanese-Buddhist culture, beginning on New Year's Eve and continuing into New Year's Day, it is tradition to ring bells 108 times to commemorate the passing of the old year and the coming of the new year, and of the 108 human desires that are thought to be the cause of human suffering, one desire is dispelled with each tolling of the bells.

Light, endless Light! Darkness has room no more.
Life's ignorant gulfs give up their secrecy:
The huge inconscient depths unplumbed before
Lie glimmering in vast expectancy
Light, timeless Light immutable and apart!
The holy sealed mysterious doors unclose.
Light, burning Light from the Infinite's diamond heart
Quivers in my heart where blooms the deathless rose.
Light in its rapture leaping through the nerves!
Light, brooding Light! Each smitten passionate cell
In a mute blaze of ecstasy preserves
A living sense of the Imperishable.
I move in an ocean of stupendous Light
Joining my depths to His eternal height.

Met up with some friends, some of which I had only "met" online, to see two unusual orchid spikes, with this unusual interflorance.
Very striking plants, and well worth the scramble to and back from their well-hidden location.
-------------------------------------------
Pelorism is the term, said to be first used by Charles Darwin, for the formation of 'peloric flowers'[1] which botanically is the abnormal production of radially symmetrical (actinomorphic) flowers in a species that usually produces bilaterally symmetrical (zygomorphic) flowers.[2] These flowers are spontaneous floral symmetry mutants. The term epanody is also applied to this phenomenon.[3] Bilaterally symmetrical (zygomorphic) flowers are known to have evolved several times from radially symmetrical (actinomorphic) flowers, these changes being linked to increasing specialisation in pollinators.
elorism has been of interest since a five-spurred variety of the common toad-flax (Linaria vulgaris L.) was first discovered in 1742 by a young Uppsala botanist on an island in the Stockholm archipelago and then in 1744 described by Carl Linnaeus. The mutant, spreading vegetatively, had five spurs rather than the usual one; however, the rest of the plant was normal. Linnaeus found that this variety was contrary to his concept that genera and species had universally arisen through an act of "original creation and remained unchanged since then". Linnaeus called this type of mutant a 'Peloria', the Greek for 'monster' or 'prodigy', because of the huge implications for the then current belief that species were immutable. He wrote that "This is certainly no less remarkable than if a cow were to give birth to a calf with a wolf's head." The peloric plant fascinated Linnaeus to the extent that he grew it at his summer residence in Hammarby and his explanation for it was that a toad-flax had been pollinated by another species.[5] Charles Darwin, Charles Victor Naudin, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Hugo de Vries amongst others analysed and wrote about.
Peloria derives from both new Latin and from the Greek word pelōros, meaning 'monstrous'

Llandrindod Wells is an amalgam of two very different settlements. Early Llandrindod in the
form of the old parish church and Llandrindod Hall occupies a spur sandwiched between
valleys that drop down towards the Ithon from the high ground to the east. One kilometre to
the north-west on lower ground which has been ridged and hollowed by several streams is the
Victorian and modern creation of Llandrindod Wells.
This brief report examines Llandrindod’s emergence and development up to 1750. For the
more recent history of the settlement, it will be necessary to look at other sources of
information and particularly at the origins and nature of the buildings within it.
The accompanying map is offered as an indicative guide to the historic settlement. The
continuous line defining the historic core offers a visual interpretation of the area within
which the settlement developed, based on our interpretation of the evidence currently to hand.
It is not an immutable boundary line, and may need to be modified as new discoveries are
made. The map does not show those areas or buildings that are statutorily designated, nor
does it pick out those sites or features that are specifically mentioned in the text.
We have not referenced the sources that have been examined to produce this report, but that
information will be available in the Historic Environment Record (HER) maintained by the
Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust. Numbers in brackets are primary record numbers used in
the HER to provide information that is specific to individual sites and features. These can be
accessed on-line through the Archwilio website (www.archwilio.org.uk).
History of development
The name refers to the 'Church of the Trinity', but the former name of the church and its
parish was Llandow in 1283 and Lando in 1291 meaning ‘church of God’. Llandynddod
appears only in 1535, but the change to the Trinity is one that can be recognised in several
other churches in Wales.
The earlier focus occupies a spur overlooking this area. Whether the church represents an
early medieval foundation is unclear. The 'llan' prefix might suggest this but there is no
corroborative evidence. Its later history, too, is uncharted. The occurrence of platforms
opposite the church hints at more than just an isolated church, but the evidence as yet is not
compelling.
Llandrindod Hall by the old church was converted into a large hotel in about 1749, but it
functioned for less than forty years and was demolished by its proprietor, reportedly because
of its unsavoury clientele. It was replaced in the 19th century by a farmstead.
Reportedly the origins of the spa town go back to the late 17th century. Cae-bach Chapel
(30000; Grade II listing) in Brookland Road was founded in 1715. Saline and sulphur springs
were discovered in the 1730s and these were noted in various publications in the following
twenty years. But the emergence of Llandrindod Wells is essentially a 19th-century
phenomenon and thus falls outside the scope of this report, although in expanding over
Llanerch Common, the town enveloped the Llanerch Inn, which has some 17th-century
features.
The heritage to 1750
The old parish church of Holy Trinity (16027) lies more than 1km south-east of the town and
was sited on the edge of an extensive tract of common upland. It originally had a single
chamber of 13th/14th-century build with a south porch and small west spire. It was completely
rebuilt in 1894, after the archdeacon of Llandrindod had removed the roof in order to
'encourage' townspeople to attend the new church in the town. The old church houses several
18th and 19th-century monuments but its 'sheel-na-gig' (5960) uncovered during building work
in 1894 and presumably of medieval origin, is now in the local museum.
The churchyard (16199) is irregular in design, its shape on the west and south dictated by the
natural topography. The Tithe map depicts a smaller enclosure around the church, a short
distance away from the road and no longer distinguishable at ground level, but may not be an
accurate representation. A holy well (81710) lay close to the churchyard, though the story
attached to it point to a healing well.
The spur on which the old church sits is naturally irregular with rock outcrops protruding.
North of the church on land that was common until the 19th century are several flat terraces
some of which are certainly artificial constructions that probably supported dwellings
(16094); there is at least one authentic platform and perhaps two others, together with
enclosure boundaries and a trackway. Further earthworks (16095), the most obvious a low
curvilinear bank of unknown function, are apparent just to the south-east of Llandrindod Hall
(30020).
Capel Maelog (2055) which was excavated between 1984 and 1987 lay off Cefnllys Lane less
than 1km east of the town centre. Its foundations have now been reconstructed near County
Hall.

"Here is a true riverworld. It pervades everything, provides nearly everything, and although constantly moving is immutable. It is THE force of nature."
Journal excerpt, June 1999
Niki's Oasis Restaurant & Jazz Bar 138 Bree Street Newtown Cultural Precinct Johannesburg South Africa with Simnikiwe Sondlo and Bushy Dubazana Jazz Band with the Immutable Themba Fassie
"I had a finer and a grander sight, however, where I was. This was the mighty dome of the Jungfrau softly outlined against the sky and faintly silvered by the starlight. There was something subduing in the influence of that silent and solemn and awful presence; one seemed to meet the immutable, the indestructible, the eternal, face to face, and to feel the trivial and fleeting nature of his own existence the more sharply by the contrast. One had the sense of being under the brooding contemplation of a spirit, not an inert mass of rocks and ice--a spirit which had looked down, through the slow drift of the ages, upon a million vanished races of men, and judged them; and would judge a million more--and still be there, watching, unchanged and unchangeable, after all life should be gone and the earth have become a vacant desolation." -- Mark Twain, "A Tramp Abroad" (seen from Interlaken Switzerland)
Awakening is that, it is this Awareness conscious of itself, immutable, quiet, understanding, peace, this freedom ofwatching what is manifested, knowing it is like that and it can not be any otherway. So all this weight disappears, all this sense of exclusion disappears, this whole sense of isolationism, separatism, of inadequacy disappears. ~Master Gualberto ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Despertar é isso, é essa Consciência ciente dela própria, imutável, silêncio, compreensão, paz, essa liberdade de olhar para aquilo que se manifesta, sabendo que é assim, que não pode ser de outra forma. Então, todo esse peso desaparece, todo esse sentido de exclusão desaparece, todo esse sentido de isolacionismo, separatividade, de inadequação, desaparece. ~Mestre Gualberto ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ramanashramgualberto #mestregualberto #satsang #ramana #ramanamaharshi #awakening #advaita #nonduality #mahadeva #arunachala #artedeviver #jefffoster #ramdass #mooji #guidance #spiritualawekening #medidate #pray #prayers #mind #destiny #oracao #devotion #devocao #love #amor #liberdade #freedom #surrender #yoga⠀⠀
Three of my co-workers unknowingly portraying the three fates......
The Moirae, Moerae or Moirai (in Greek Μοῖραι – the "apportioners", often called The Fates), in Greek mythology, were the white-robed incarnations of destiny (Roman equivalent: Parcae, euphemistically the "sparing ones", or Fata; also equivalent to the Germanic Norns). Their number became fixed at three.
The Greek word moira (μοῖρα) literally means a part or portion, and by extension one's portion in life or destiny. They controlled the metaphorical thread of life of every mortal from birth to death.
Zeus and the Moirae
Even the gods feared the Moirae. Zeus also was subject to their power, the Pythian priestess at Delphi once admitted. Hesiod referred to "the Moirai to whom wise Zeus gave the greatest honor",[1] though no classic writing clarifies as to what exact extent the lives of immortals were affected by the whims of the Fates themselves, and it is to be expected that the relationship of Zeus and the Moirae was not immutable over the centuries.
A supposed epithet of the greek is legit Zeus Moiragetes, meaning "Zeus Leader of the Moirae" was inferred by Pausanias from an inscription he saw in the 2nd century AD at Olympia: "As you go to the starting-point for the chariot-race there is an altar with an inscription to the Bringer of Fate.[2] This is plainly a surname of Zeus, who knows the affairs of men, all that the Fates give them, and all that is not destined for them."[3] At the Temple of Zeus at Megara, Pausanias inferred from the relief sculptures he saw "Above the head of Zeus are the Horai and Moirae, and all may see that he is the only god obeyed by Moira." Pausanias' inferred assertion is unsupported in cult practice, though he noted a sanctuary of the Moirae there at Olympia (v.15.4), and also at Corinth (ii.4.7) and Sparta (iii.11.8), and adjoining the sanctuary of Themis outside a city gate of Thebes[4]
H. J. Rose writes that Nyx ("Night") was also the mother of the Moirae[5] as she was of the Erinyes, in the Orphic tradition.
When they were three,[6] the three Moirae were:
Clotho ( /ˈkloʊθoʊ/, Greek Κλωθώ [klɔːˈtʰɔː] – "spinner") spun the thread of life from her distaff onto her spindle. Her Roman equivalent was Nona, (the 'Ninth'), who was originally a goddess called upon in the ninth month of pregnancy.
Lachesis ( /ˈlækɪsɪs/, Greek Λάχεσις [ˈlakʰesis] – "allotter" or drawer of lots) measured the thread of life allotted to each person with her measuring rod. Her Roman equivalent was Decima (the 'Tenth').
Atropos ( /ˈætrəpɒs/, Greek Ἄτροπος [ˈatropos] – "inexorable" or "inevitable", literally "unturning",[7] sometimes called Aisa) was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner of each person's death; and when their time was come, she cut their life-thread with "her abhorred shears".[8] Her Roman equivalent was Morta ('Death').

Jean-François Millet (1814-1875)
The Angelus
Between 1857 and 1859
L'Angélus [The Angelus]
A man and a woman are reciting the Angelus, a prayer which commemorates the annunciation made to Mary by the angel Gabriel. They have stopped digging potatoes and all the tools used for this task – the potato fork, the basket, the sacks and the wheelbarrow – are strewn around them. In 1865, Millet said: "The idea for The Angelus came to me because I remembered that my grandmother, hearing the church bell ringing while we were working in the fields, always made us stop work to say the Angelus prayer for the poor departed". So it was a childhood memory which was behind the painting and not the desire to glorify some religious feeling; besides Millet was not a church-goer. He wanted to catch the immutable rhythms of peasant life in a simple scene. Here he has focused on a short break, a moment of respite.
Alone in the foreground in a huge empty plain, the two peasants take on a monumental quality, despite the small size of the canvas. Their faces are left in shadow, while the light underlines their gestures and posture. The canvas expresses a deep feeling of meditation and Millet goes beyond the anecdote to the archetype.
Perhaps that explains the extraordinary destiny of The Angelus: it triggered an unbelievable rush of patriotic fervour when the Louvre tried to buy it in 1889, was venerated by Salvador Dali, lacerated by a madman in 1932 and became a world-famous icon in the 20th century.

When we visited the Musee D'Orsay in September, 2016, we had less than 90 minutes to actually view the collection, so I concentrated on the Impressionist works on the top floor:

When we returned to Paris in May, 2017, I made sure to cover the floors and areas of the Museum that I had missed on my first trip.
Since the D'Orsay owns many more top flight paintings and sculptures than it has room to show at any one time, and lends many works to other institutions, there were many works of art on display in May that had not been there the previous September, so there is little overlap between the two albums.
I also have a separate album about the special exhibition - "Beyond the Stars -The Mystical Landscape from Monet to Kandinsky (Au-dela des Etoiles - Le Paysage Mystique de Monet a Kandinsky)":
