Never alone, never unheard and never forgotten. What was once in secret is now our story...to overcome, to heal, to thrive and to inspire others. From out of the darkness and ashes we RISE!!! 💛💛💛

The clouds of judgement gather,
The time is growing late;
Be sober and be watchful;
Christ is at the Gate.
The Judge who comes in mercy,
The judge who comes in might
To put an end to evil
And diadem the right.

Those who have chosen the path of least resistance in life, who cannot bear to bring themselves to make a stern value-judgment in criticism of their own most intimate feelings, achieve what they deserve: not self-understanding but radical self-superficialization, not a discovered but a self-ascribed identity that explains nothing, reveals nothing, means nothing, and ultimately accomplishes nothing culturally or intellectually.

La pivoine chez les Grecs
Dans leur culture, la pivoine est bien plus qu’une jolie fleur des beaux jours, elle est d’abord considérée comme une plante médicinale. Cette faculté a par ailleurs nourri un mythe grec, où se mêlent colère des dieux et guérison. Son nom d’après les rumeurs, lui viendrait du médecin Péon, disciple d’Asclépios, dieu de la médecine. Ce dernier aurait trouvé un remède à la douleur des femmes durant leur accouchement. Son maître jaloux de son talent, se dit que finalement, il mériterait bien de mourir celui-ci. Fort heureusement pour Péon et pour nous, Zeus proposa une punition moins dramatique et changea le jeune médecin en la fleur qu’il avait découverte : une pivoine. Aussi réputée pour ses couleurs vives, ses teintes et nuances ont également inspiré une légende qui continue d’exister dans notre monde moderne, à travers l’expression : “rougir comme une pivoine”.
L’histoire parle ici de la nymphe Péone, qui comme la plupart des naïades était d’une incroyable beauté. Courtisée par tous les dieux, elle eut la mauvaise idée d’en faire un peu trop et d’enfreindre le code divin de la pudeur. Un faux pas, provoquant l’indignation des tout-puissants, qui décidèrent alors de la changer en une fleur extraordinaire : une pivoine. Quant à son erreur de jugement, pour l’inscrire à jamais dans l’histoire, ils donnèrent à ses pétales la couleur de la honte, le rouge. D’où l’expression…
La pivoine au pays du Soleil Levant
L’ Asie regorge de mythes et légendes, qui nous en apprennent un peu plus sur notre fleur préférée. La première, raconte en partie pourquoi le printemps est la saison favorite des pivoines. En Chine durant la dynastie Tang, un jour de grand froid d’hiver, l’impératrice Wu Zetian après avoir bu un peu trop de vin, exigea des fleurs de son jardin qu’elles fleurissent pendant la nuit, pour la satisfaire au petit matin. Le calendrier des fleurs était apparemment le cadet de ses soucis...
Son nom signifiant “celle qui discipline le ciel”, cette dernière était persuadée qu’aucune variété fleurie n'oserait lui désobéir. Le lendemain, seule la pivoine avait décidé de n’en faire qu’à sa tête et d’attendre le printemps. La reine de la saison apparaît alors pour la première fois, comme une fleur au caractère bien trempé. Folle de rage, l’impératrice exila toutes les pivoines du pays à Luoyang, où finalement, elles s’épanouirent fièrement, donnant lieu à un merveilleux spectacle fleuri. La ville est depuis la capitale de la pivoine, et organise chaque année un festival qui lui est dédié.

The peony among the Greeks
In their culture, the peony is much more than a pretty flower for sunny days, it is first and foremost considered a medicinal plant. This faculty also nourished a Greek myth, where anger of the gods and healing mingle. Its name, according to rumors, comes from the doctor Péon, disciple of Asclepius, god of medicine. The latter would have found a remedy for the pain of women during childbirth. His master, jealous of his talent, said to himself that in the end, he deserved to die this one. Fortunately for Peon and for us, Zeus proposed a less dramatic punishment and changed the young doctor into the flower he had discovered: a peony. Also famous for its bright colors, its shades and shades have also inspired a legend that continues to exist in our modern world, through the expression: “blush like a peony”.
The story here is about the nymph Péone, who like most naiads was incredibly beautiful. Courted by all the gods, she had the bad idea to do a little too much and break the divine code of modesty. A false step, provoking the indignation of the all-powerful, who then decided to change it into an extraordinary flower: a peony. As for its error of judgment, to inscribe it forever in history, they gave its petals the color of shame, red. Hence the term...
Peony in the Land of the Rising Sun
Asia is full of myths and legends, which teach us a little more about our favorite flower. The first, partly tells why spring is the favorite season for peonies. In China during the Tang Dynasty, on a very cold winter day, Empress Wu Zetian after drinking a little too much wine, demanded flowers from her garden to bloom during the night, to satisfy her in the early morning. . The flower calendar was apparently the least of his worries...
Her name meaning "she who disciplines the sky", the latter was convinced that no flowering variety would dare to disobey her. The next day, only the peony had decided to do as it pleased and to wait for spring. The queen of the season then appears for the first time, like a flower with a strong character. Mad with rage, the Empress exiled all the peonies in the country to Luoyang, where they finally blossomed proudly, giving rise to a marvelous flowery spectacle. The city has since been the capital of the peony, and organizes a festival dedicated to it every year.
Against my better judgment, but with no other option since the bus was not going to stop, I chanced my arm taking this shot through glass and from a moving bus. Not so bad I think, but imagine how it may have looked if I'd been standing still using a decent zoom lens.

The poem by Eli Medier makes it talk, ty Eli :)
"No more dreams
lead now I am
anchored to the ground
by gray children
of gray ideologies
of power and death
I live in a separate reality
spend my days
to count the days
I aspire to heaven
and sink into the abyss
Nothing more distinguishable
trapped now
in this semblance
deceptive of life
I float in hyperbolic spaces
negative geometries
the existence curve
on the infinite limit circle
I find a crack
and disperse in myriads
of subtle vibrations
Diaphanous strings
envelop me
in narrow universes
The heart dries up
with rigorous metrics
We are peripheral numbers
sobs of ancient gods
indifferent anthropophages
Inhuman tangential presences
mark the solitude
of incomprehensible absences
Forced into this garden
multitude of fools
we are in labels
of white coats
Imperfect mechanisms
aspirants to human
Our disease
is in a divine folder
an irrevocable judgment"

When we understand the importance of living together without judgement we will have arrived at a significantly better place than we are today. It is easy to be judgmental, but what purpose does it have? If we live together in peace and allow one another to live the way we wish as long as it does not physically harm anyone, that is what we should be aiming for. Compassion, love, tolerance, understanding, acceptance, respect, equality, diversity and decency will take you a long way. Steer your children away from hate, greed, selfishness and power, this type of behavior only causes pain and sadness to so many, so let's embrace our differences. This should happen globally with all nationalities being involved. So let's get started now!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

15th century wood panel in St Michael's (St Albans, Hertfordshire) depicting the Last Judgment. This used to be a tympanum (art work over an entrance) and is best to be read as theological teaching: when the trumpets of the Last Judgment sound and the graves open you better be prepared and among the faithful if you want to enter heaven. If not, hell is waiting for you. And it does not matter whether you are king or not.
This panel is no longer crowning a doorway, but it is still in the church. Secular culture today pretends that it has nothing to do with this. That is not true. The quest for immortality is as strong as it always has been. It is just the forms and the images that have changed.
The prayer of a soul at judgment
In ancient Egypt the jackal god Anubis led the soul into the halls of Maat (truth) where his or her heart would be weighed by the god Osiris against a feather.
It was important that you were not concerned with the trivia of life "I have not learnt the things that are not.."
To enter paradise you had to answer negatively to a list of transgressions that were different for every walk of life.
If your heart was light of sin you passed into the blissful Field of Reeds.
Should your heart not be found pure it would be thrown to the floor and devoured by Amut the gobbler. You would then cease to exist.
The ancient Egyptians were profoundly spiritual and their prayers (Egyptian Book of the Dead) read like poetic psalms and probably influenced the Biblical psalms.
Years ago we visited Egypt with my Dad but at the moment the Royal BC Museum is hosting an Egyptian exhibit.

" Judgment Awakened My Heart " | praise and worship music With Lyrics
Introduction
What should I seek in my faith? Now I have had an awakening. Before, I believed in the Lord just for blessings. I enjoyed God's grace quite greedily. But judgment awakened my heart. I said all the right things in prayer, but in practice did whatever I wanted. What I did for God was for my future and fate. The truth I did not practice. Then judgment awakened my heart. I worshiped God living in religious rites, but in my heart, I was empty, not filled. My corrupt disposition was not cleansed. How could I carry out God's will? God’s words are like a double-edged sword, piercing my heart and spirit. I've suffered much through trials and refinement, my corruption being cleansed. I've tasted God’s love, and I am determined to seek and gain the truth. I will faithfully fulfill my duty to God to repay His love and be His true witness.

The Hymn of God's Word "God Has Returned Triumphant"
Accompaniment: Ah … ah … ah … ah….
1. O Zion, shout for joy! O Zion, sing! God has returned triumphant; God has returned victorious! O all peoples, line up quickly. Oh all things, stand still. For God’s original person faces the entire universe and appears in the East of the world! Who shall not kneel down to worship? Who shall not confess the true God with his tongue? Who shall not look up to Him with a heart of fearing? Who shall not praise? Who shall not praise? Who shall not shout for joy? God’s people will listen to God’s voice. Who shall not praise? Who shall not shout for joy? God’s people will listen to God’s voice.
2. Mountains and rivers and all things should all shout for joy and leap unceasingly. At this time, no one, no one dare leave, and no person, matter, or thing dare rise to resist or revolt. This is God’s, God’s wonderful deed, much more God’s mighty power! God will make all have a heart that fears Him, and even more will make all praise Him, praise Him. This is the ultimate purpose of God’s six-thousand-year management plan, management plan, and this is also determined by God, this is also determined by God.
3. All God’s people will stream to God’s mountain, and will become subject before God, because God is possessed of majesty and judgment, also possessed of authority. Nothing will be difficult, and all things will be destroyed by the word of God’s mouth, by the word of God’s mouth, and established and accomplished by God’s word. This is God’s mighty power and God’s authority. God is brimming with power and filled with authority, no one dare hinder, and God has long overcome everything, and overcome all the sons of disobedience. Thus, all people have a heart of fearing God. This has been planned by God from the creation of the world. Thus, all people have a heart of fearing God. This has been planned by God from the creation of the world.

... it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.
(Hebrews 9:27)
Perched high and mighty, this hawk surveys its domain with the cold precision of someone who’s seen too much. Its talons grip the branch like it’s holding onto secrets. Its gaze? A mix of judgment, suspicion, and “I know what you did last nesting season.”
The bare branches add drama. The plumage screams “I woke up like this.” And the overall vibe? Corporate predator meets woodland drama.
Some say it’s the hawk that fired the squirrel from the tree. Others claim it once dive-bombed a drone for invading its airspace. But one thing’s certain: this bird didn’t come to play it, came to audit your soul.
