while walking around by the tide pools, i got a crazy idea: "why not lay down in front of where the waves break to get a photo?"
My camera's okay, but I got saltwater in my mouth. Nasty.

This isn't a particularly good photo - I was after all shooting under heavy glare through fingerprint-laden glass. I felt however, that I should post something to commemorate Paige's moving from Level 1 to Level 2A in her swim class.
I spent Wednesday through Friday in New York, NY. Paige's swim class is on Wednesday. As I was packing up to leave, Marna had the great idea to take some time out to go with her to Paige's swim class. From there we would all go to the airport, have lunch, and see me off on my business.
About half-way through the class, the school owner called for a couple names. He suggested that it was time to move Paige up a level! She'd mastered the water familiarity basics and was ready for more challenging lessons.
Some of what lies ahead includes tummy and back float, as well as jumping in and then rolling to her back for breath.
Tibetan lamas teach about religion itself which is one of the reasons I find Tibetan Buddhist thought so useful, it is self aware religion - meta-religion. The following is the traditional teaching about the levels of faith, and when your faith is strong enough, emptiness itself - any thing becomes possible and you are master of your own destiny:
"There are different levels of faith.
First, "clear faith" refers to the joy and clarity and change in our perceptions that we experience when we hear about the qualities of the Three Jewels and the lives of the Buddha and the great teachers.
"Longing faith" is experienced when we think about the latter and are filled with a great desire to know more about their qualities and to acquire these ourselves.
"Confident faith" comes through practicing the Dharma, when we acquire complete confidence in the truth of the teachings and the enlightenment of the Buddha.
Finally, when faith has become so much a part of ourselves that even if our lives were at risk we could never give it up, it has become "irreversible faith.""

What kind of faith do you have?

The High Level Bridge is a road and railway bridge spanning the River Tyne between Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead in North East England. It is considered the most notable historical engineering work in the city.[1] It was built by the Hawks family[2] from 5050 tons of iron. George Hawks, Mayor of Gateshead, drove in the last key of the structure on 7 June 1849[3] and the bridge was opened by Queen Victoria later that year. (Wikipedia)
Taken at the upper level of Union Station. This floor hosts a few restaurants, shops and a coffee shop. Also, the entrance to the parking garage is located on this floor. I am fascinated by the patterns found on this ceiling. I think it is such a unique design.

The Famous Gaden Namgyal Lhatse, popularly known as Tawang Monastery was founded by Merak Lama Lodre Gyatso in the year 1680-81. The monastery stands on the spur of a hill, about 10,000 feet above sea level and has ravines in the south and west, narrow ridge on the north and gradual slope on the east. It offers a commanding and picturesque view of the Tawang-chu valley. From a distance it appears like a fort as if guarding the votaries in the wide valley below. Tawang monastery is the largest of its kind in the country and is one of the largest monasteries in Asia. Though it has the capacity for housing about seven hundred monks, the actual number of resident lamas (monks) at present is a little more than 450. This monastery is the fountain-head of the spiritual life of the people of this region.
The approach to the monastery is from the north along the ridge. Just near the entrance to the monastery there is a building housing the dung-gyur mani from where the water is fetched for use in the monastery. To the south of its is the kakaling, the entrance gate. The kakaling is a hut-like structure with its two lateral walls made of stone. It serves as a gate. The ceiling of the kakaling is painted with Kying-khors (Mandalas). The inner walls are painted with mural of divinities and saints. After passing through the kakaling there is a big gate further south which is without any door.
Further south stand the main gate of the monastery, which is fitted with huge doors and is set in the northern wall of the monastery. It is about 925 feet long and the height varies from about ten to twenty feet. There is another gate near the southern end of this wall. It is fitted with a huge door. Emergency Locksmith Charlotte NC could certainly secure this door with high security locks. Near it there are two slits in the wall to see out through all along the outer side of the eastern wall connecting this gate with the kakaling. It is said that the yarn given by the Vth Dalai Lama to Merak Lama enclosed the area bounded by the four walls.
A paved path runs from the main gate toward rear of the monastery and leads to a stone slabs court. Religious dances and outdoor ceremonies are held in this court. The entire eastern half of the monastery is covered with sixty residential quarter's called (Sha/Hut) for housing the resident monks. Each of these dormitories has been constructed by a group of villagers on voluntary basis. They also carry out the repairs and are responsible for its maintenance.
A three storied building stands on the western side of the court. It is the par-khang (Library). All the holly scriptures including. A long two-storied building flanks the southern side of the court. A part of this building is used as store for the provisions of the monks. The other part is occupied by the Dra-tsang buk and his entourage. A two storied building, on the eastern side of the court is called Rhum-Khang which is used for cooking the food-offerings for the rituals as well as refreshments for the monks on ritual days.
The most imposing building of the monastery is the assembly hall known as Dukhang. It is a three-storied building standing on thenorthern side of the court and houses the template and the Labrang (The establishment of the Abbot.) The inner walls of the Dukhang. are painted with murals of various divinities and saints. The altar occupies the entirenothern wall of th hall. On the left of the alter is the silver casket wrapped in silk containing the Thankas of Goddes Dri Devi (Palden Lhamo) the principle deity of the monastery, which was given to Merak Lama by the Vth Dalai Lama. The said painting came to be known as Ja-Droi-Ma, which means it had warmth of a bird, which symbolized that the Thanka was of a living type.
A colossal richly gilded statue of Lord Buddha occupies the middle of the northern side. It is seated on a platform and its body, rising up, terminates in a huge head above the first floor. It is the largest image of the monastery also has a Center for Buddhist Cultural Studies where young monks are taught Arithmetic, English and Hindi besides traditional monastic education.
In brief, this monastery is simply awe-inspiring and majestic in its appearance and grandeur. A visit of Tawang Monastery is most spiritually refreshing experience.

The irony of the word "level" and the number seven just cracked me up.
The rambling, weird, occasionally racist, often animal-centric graffiti of an anonymous woman in Kowloon, Hong Kong. She writes about dogs, cats and other pets, often about their mistreatment. She also often includes the words "Anglican" "Scotts" or "Scotland" and the number 1497 in what she writes.

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
