"The period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult period in one's life." - Dalai Lama
Sunrise this morning; the first of 2016...? No I'm joking Lol smile emoticon. This was actually my new year "meditation". I sat in my small office this afternoon with the air-con buzzing making this composite image of Yoga Balance. Both images mine. Models shot with Canon 6D (F4, 1/160 sec, ISO 500) a week or so back. Pier was done with my old Canon 550D (5 sec, ISO 100, F22 - Sigma 10-20). Partial tutorial by Maria Semelevich Art (very partial - I got lost wink emoticon. Go check out her art & tutorials). Simple composite but a start smile emoticon.
On June 25, 2016, a team from Messiah Foundation International participated in Pride 2016 in Cusco, Peru. There, they gave the message of divine love to people from all walks of life and showed them the divine signs of the Awaited Ones, Lord Ra Riaz and Lord Jesus Christ. They also distributed leaflets in Spanish regarding the Absence of Spiritual Knowledge. The response was fantastic and we’re excited to continue our activities in Cusco soon.

Something you might not know... The Piano has an Extensive Range

Metaphors are sometimes used in the Bahá’í writings to convey intangible spiritual concepts. One metaphor that comes up in several places is the tree, such as in the Tablet of Ahmad, written by Bahá’u’lláh: “Verily He is the Tree of Life that bringeth forth the fruits of God, the Exalted, the Powerful, the Great.” In the quote below, knowledge is a fruit of the human tree.
“Strain every nerve to acquire both inner and outer perfections, for the fruit of the human tree hath ever been and will ever be perfections both within and without. It is not desirable that a man be left without knowledge or skills, for he is then but a barren tree. Then, so much as capacity and capability allow, ye needs must deck the tree of being with fruits such as knowledge, wisdom, spiritual perception and eloquent speech.”
—Bahá’u’lláh, The Compilation of Compilations vol. I, p. 247
“A Little Knowledge… goes a long way”…
An elemental is a creature, usually a spirit that is attuned with or composed of one of the four classical elements: air, water, earth, and fire. The elements balance each other out through opposites: water quenches fire, fire boils water, earth contains air, and air erodes earth. Elementals care for, guard, and protect the environment.
Initially, fairies (fairies, fey) were not considered elementals, but are now grouped with and considered elementals because they guard and protect the environment.
Fairies, like crows, cats, squirrels, and I, love to collect brightly colored and shiny things; things of nature; nature’s castoffs; found objects; and little treasures of all kinds such as glass, buttons, twigs, etc. There is nothing that compares to spending an afternoon searching, hunting, and looking for found objects.
Wondrous, enchanted, and magical places to find these treasures exist everywhere. Once found, finding a secret place to squirrel them away is very important. It can be a bottle, an old tin, the hollow of a tree, a bird’s nest or a hole in the ground.
My elemental bottles, filled with found objects, are made to encourage you to “gently” shake them. Gentle shaking will, obviously, reposition the inside found objects and give you a new perspective on them. Much like life… sometimes it is a good idea to shake things up, do something new or take a different path in order to gain new insights, ideas, spark your imagination, stimulate creativity, and see things differently.
This is an air elemental bottle kissed by the earth. The silver glitter star top with the dangling heart, suggestive of the Heavens, the multiple different colored feathers inside, obviously, from birds, which fly, and once their feathers fall off, they float, as well as the postage stamp, let us know this was initiated by an air elemental. However, air enlisted the help of an earth elemental in collecting the found objects inside, which speak to and for the earth: the fallen twigs, the tree bark, the acorn cap, and the pieces of metal for grounding.
This is my original idea and creation. It is not to be copied in any way or in any medium.

Project : “gliSSSSSSSSSendo”
Location: Catharinaplein
With his technical knowledge, his creative forces and his inventive talent UliK developed a construction that allows musicians to glide through space. With his knowledge of stage- and costume-design, his musical choices and his feel for good entertainment he produced a magical show with the innovative brass band Fanfare Le SNOB.
Since the 1994 Fanfare Le SNOB (the abbreviation for “Service de Nettoyage des Oreilles Bouchées” (trans. cleaning service for blocked ears)) produces performances exploring the sound spectrum of brass instruments. Rooted in excellent musicianship their joy and enthusiasm for street performances is part of their magic.
The eye and ear opening performance of UliK and Le SNOB induces its subject from musical term “glissando”, which can be translated as “gliding”. In the case of the performance “gliSSSSSSSSendo” there are nine monk-like figures in long black robes and burning hats gliding through darkness in urban space, carried away by their music. The musical program comprises brass band traditionals as well as contemporary compositions by Philipp Glass or Michael Nyman.

Pulse Front: Relational Architecture 12 is the new searchlight piece by acclaimed Mexican-Canadian electronic artist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. The groundbreaking installation uses 20 robotic searchlights, 200,000 watts of power and includes displays up to 20 metal sculptures positioned along Toronto's harbour. Each piece is installed with a biometric sensor. When a participating spectator grabs the handles on the sculpture the sensors convert their pulse into beams of light in the sky, visible up to 15 kilometers away. The life force of honoured guests at the TELUS-hosted event will launch the beating matrix of searchlights.
