Crane_Corr
Secret Knowledge, Patience, Longevity
"Corr brings the qualities of patience and perseverance. The crane is capable of standing for hours motionless in the water waiting for the right moment to capture its prey. ... Together with the ability to operate in the Underworld, the crane symbolizes science arcana, the Secret Knowledge, which in the Druid tradition is represented by the writings of Ogham - the tree language of the Druids. In a broader sense learning this language requires the ability to read the 'Book of Nature'."
Gru_Corr
Conoscenza Segreta, Pazienza, Longevità
"Corr porta le qualità della pazienza e della perseveranza. La gru è capace di stare per ore immobile nell'acqua aspettando il momento adatto per catturare la sua preda. ... Insieme alla capacità di operare nel Mondo Sotterraneo, la gru simboleggia la scienza arcana, la Conoscenza Segreta, che nella tradizione dei Druidi è rappresentata dagli scritti di Ogham - la lingua arborea dei Druidi. In un senso più vasto imparare questo linguaggio richiede la capacità di leggere il 'Libro della Natura'."
Testo tratto da L'oracolo dei Druidi. Lavorare con gli Animali Sacri della Tradizione Celtica. Text taken from The Oracle of the Druids. Working with the Sacred Animals of the Celtic Tradition.

The widest focal length I had at my disposal for a long time was 18mm, but that changed when I acquired a used Nikon Z6 and the incredible 14-24 f2.8 lens recently. Unlike telephotos, at wide focal lengths, a slight change in focal length dramatically affects the lens's behavior. It also means you have to think about framing the scene more. The 24-70mm lens is a lot more forgiving in that regard. My challenge was that I did not have any other Z lens or the adapter at hand to convert my DSLR lenses.
I have always found that my best images often are a product of some kind of constraint, and it was no different this time when I found myself at convict lake on a freezing morning. The wind made me think twice about getting out of the car. But, finally, the warm glow on the mountain top and the frozen-over lake won over, and I got out with my new toys at hand. Since it was so cold, I limited the gear I took with me and ventured out with just the Z6 and the 14-24. Again, I was surprised by how well the mirrorless system responded to handheld shooting, even in low light conditions. The freedom to shoot without a tripod allowed me to get closer than I usually would, and the results were better than I had ever expected.

THE SILENCE OF SOLITUDE
In the silence of my solitude my mind is free to dream,
To contemplate the things that were, that are, and those that might have been.
While a life yet still to come which I have never seen seems tentative at best
Stirring up a future hope from which I never rest.
For memory is part of life and dreams of future speak,
But in the now my soul resides in a body strong and weak.
In my body works the weakest frailty of men and it may lay me low
To steal away the freedom we call life as we daily come and go.
When we do and say the things that make us what we are
Naked truth in action, unblemished or with scar.
Where we seek the touch of love's forgiving soft caress
The refuge of all lives set free of loneliness.
My mind can see so clearly in the still and rest of peace
The many deeds of men that daily never cease,
The good, the bad, the selfish and societal conformed.
But I must contemplate my life since the day that I was born.
For I am far from blameless in so many varied ways,
And shall be ever still until my dying days.
Even in my solitude with secrets I don't share
I need to know that somewhere close there's someone who does care.
I crave to feel that comfort of someone holding hands
Secure within the knowledge that there's nought I can't withstand.
Grateful for the one who sees me in my need, for we are all the same
When finally The Reaper comes to make his mournful claim.
Here in the silence of my solitude, my refuge and tormentor,
I must face myself alone without a friend or mentor.
No one can hear the words or set my spirit free,
No one can share the happiness no one but me, but me.
And shall I ever be allowed to open up my soul?
Perhaps I will upon the day that we are all made whole.
Here in my solitude I know love, anger and loss
As I draw from my wells of joy, and resent my failure's cost.
Reflection, fulfilment, and memories reside for me
Here in my safe place where unspoken words fly free.
And I must wait until the end of time for me
To know the sense of what it was to live reality.

Tau Lewis’ hands-on process of making is committed to healing personal and collective traumas, especially in relation to histories and lived experiences within the African diaspora. In Symphony, reclaimed clothing and fabrics have been repurposed into an expressive portrait of a “mutable being devoid of gender, that can transmute into blossoms”. A clairvoyant spirit connecting geographies, souls and time, both earthly and ancestral, Symphony has eyes formed of seashells and arms welcoming in an open embrace. Reflecting on non-gendered motherhood and gardens as sources of knowledge and growth, the work envisions a world of radical care, self-reservation and resilience in which joy, freedom and triumphant love are nurtured and shared. --- --- --- canadianart.ca/features/tau-lewis-groundations/
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

"Knowledge was never simply born in the human mind; it was always reborn. The relaying of wisdom from one age to the next, this cycle of rebirths: this was wisdom. All else was barbarity."

Images of Australia 49/100 The Tree of Knowledge.
The Tree of Knowledge, located in the small outback town of Barcaldine, has an iconic place in Australian history.
In the 1870's shearers had to sign a contract to gain employment, but an excess of workers meant that owners were able to decrease the wage of shearers. In 1891, shearers began to go on strike, and this action quickly spread. Strike camps were set up and the tree became a meeting place for the strikers. Violence increased, some shearing sheds were burnt down and the Police took firm action. The strike leaders were arrested and sentenced to prison, lack of food, funds and bad weather caused the strike to be abandoned. Thus, over the years the tree became a symbol of a 'fair go, and fair wages for a fair days work'.
The tree itself is ghost gum and over the years suffered from insect attacks, termites and fungal diseases. Before its final death a small number of trees were grafted from it to keep the tradition alive. The tree itself was preserved and the current memorial built around it.
Editing the photograph as I have, was an attempt to portray both the historical and the current setting of the tree.
This takes the cake as my favorite weapon included with the Rocket Commando. It also helps that this is my favorite gun in the Brickarms arsenal. I've managed
to get 3 of these beauties including this one. Enough gloating! The gun is a work
of art. Due to it being a blend of many rayguns from a variety of sources, this gun fits with many minifigs and scenes. The one detail that completes the utter
awesomeness that is this gun is the trigger in the trigger guard. This is, from
my knowledge, the first gun to have this, and I hope this isn't the last. It looks
amazing, and makes the raygun feel finalized.

Lovely place to visit. Have been before but this part was locked...Really worth a visit if you're in the area - extremely peaceful inside...
www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/st-olaves-priory/
The following words have been taken from the English Heritage website...
This small Augustinian priory was founded by Roger FitzOsbert in about 1216. It is dedicated to Olaf, the 11th-century king and patron saint of Norway whose stark Christian message was ‘baptism or death’.
An inventory taken in 1536 records little of value and the priory was probably already in decline when it was suppressed a year later. In 1547 Sir Henry Jerningham converted the buildings to the north of the cloister into a private house, but little of this survived when the priory was dismantled in 1784.
Around 1825 the floor of the refectory undercroft was raised and the building was converted into a cottage which was occupied until 1902.
The hidden gem in this unassuming ruin is its 14th-century refectory undercroft. Its vaulted brick ceiling is an important early example of the use of brick in England. Supported on Purbeck marble columns, it is still almost complete and retains much of its original plasterwork.
The only parts of the church to survive are a stretch of the south aisle, the west wall and parts of the north wall. The foundations of some of the brick-faced piers that supported the cloister arcade are visible, but nothing remains of the west range except the flintwork cloister wall, which is pierced near the north end by a 14th-century doorway.
At the back of the refectory is a fragment of Jerningham’s 16th-century house that escaped destruction, which includes a reused 14th-century doorway.

After discovering that the Eiffel Tower turned off at night (GRRRR!!), we spent the night huddled beneath, waiting for the light of day. I have some indelible memories underneath the darkened (GRRRR!!) tower:
* The two squads of machine-gun-toting guards, who randomly walked the grounds.
* The bicyclists who solicited donations and later argued stupidly with the guards.
* The cheesesteak vendor in the Ryder Truck, cooking sandwiches all night to club goers heading home.
* The strange dancers next to the cheesesteaks, who were impossibly flexible and gave those waiting for their sammies something to watch.
* The freezing cold and the wind that seemed to work into my bone marrow.
* The port-o-lets which our ladies pronounced filthy, while I didn't think it so very bad.
* Leaning against a ticket booth for hours as shelter from the wind.
* Hearing burglar alarms going off as it approached morning, and having the office security guard politely inform us that we were the ones setting it off.
* Lovers sitting beneath the tower, somehow impervious to the cold and wind, lost in each other.
* And mostly, the drums. Always the sound of multiple deep bongos, and sometimes singing. What were they there for? How long would they play?
These are my memories, along with the constant look at the watch and the knowledge thanks to the GPS of when the sun would come up. When it did, I put my camera onto the manhole cover signaling the center of the tower, and fired the longest exposure I could without a bulb.
And, wordlessly, we left the Eiffel Tower for the train to take us back to St. Michel and thus back to the airport. All of us were ready to quit Paris and go home.
Knowledge opens the door of the world.
No matter how dark the place is.
It is a ticket to the next place, one step in the ascending spiral staircase.
True love from the heart is eternal. I take pride in being 100% real and bleed passion and knowledge it self. People come in and out of our lives, we can just hope when it's time to part we can live forever within each other. Good spirits travel and stick to true love of our connections.

Bear Butte is a geological laccolith feature located near Sturgis, South Dakota, United States, that was established as a State Park in 1961. An important landmark and religious site for the Plains Indians tribes long before Europeans reached South Dakota, Bear Butte is called Mathó Pahá, or Bear Mountain, by the Lakota, or Sioux. To the Cheyenne, it is known as Noahȧ-vose ("giving hill") or Náhkȯhe-vose ("bear hill"), and is the place where Ma'heo'o (God) imparted to Sweet Medicine, a Cheyenne prophet, the knowledge from which the Cheyenne derive their religious, political, social, and economic customs. The mountain is sacred to many indigenous peoples, who make pilgrimages to leave prayer cloths and tobacco bundles tied to the branches of the trees along the mountain's flanks. Other offerings are often left at the top of the mountain. The site is associated with various religious ceremonies throughout the year. The mountain is a place of prayer, meditation, and peace. The park includes a campsite west of South Dakota Highway 79 where horseback riding, fishing, and boating are permitted. On the summit side of Highway 79, a moderately sized herd of buffalo roams the base of the mountain. An education center and a summit trail are available. Official park policy advises visitors to Bear Butte to respect worshipers and to leave religious offerings undisturbed. Park fees are waived for those undertaking religious activities. In 2007, Gov. Mike Rounds of South Dakota announced a proposal to use state, federal and private money to buy a perpetual easement in order to prevent commercial and residential development of some land on the western side of Bear Butte. This would cost more than $1 million, but would prevent development of nuisance businesses (such as potentially lucrative biker bars) on ranch land near the mountain on the northern edge of the Black Hills.
