God's Gift to Mankind

I don't have the answers to mankind's depravity and the human condition. One of the elements that breaks my heart every time I'm exposed to it is those who prey on the weak and innocent. Try as we may we will never be able to rid the world of these reprobates and their incessant drive to hurt those who don't deserve it.
What we can do is love, understand, and empathize with those who are scarred or are being tormented. We can't turn the other way and pretend it doesn't exist and where ever and whenever possible we must protect the innocent. We must be the proverbial "Holy Water" and be a healing stream in the lives of the broken and abused. Make it your goal to offer a cup of cold water this weak and make a difference in someone else's life.
Thank you so much, my friends, for your loving support and admonitions. You bless me every day and I am grateful for you all. Please...be blessed!
Somewhere there's a stolen halo,
I used to watch her wear it well,
Everything would shine,
Wherever she would go,
But looking at her now you'd never tell
Someone ran away with her innocence,
A memory she can't get out of her head,
And I can only imagine,
What she's feelin' when she's prayin',
Kneelin' at the edge of her bed
And she says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water,
Holy water
She wants someone to call her angel,
Someone to put the light back in her eyes,
She's looking through the faces,
And unfamiliar places,
She needs someone to hear her when she cries
And she says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
She just needs a little help,
To wash away the pain she's felt,
She wants to feel the healin' hands,
Of someone who understands
And she says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me
She says take me away,
Then take me farther,
Surround me now,
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
all mankind is loving and good :-)

A close up view of warp and weft in a woven fabric.
Warp and weft are terms for the two basic components used in weaving to turn thread or yarn into fabric. The lengthwise or longitudinal warp yarns are held stationary in tension on a frame or loom while the transverse weft is drawn through and inserted over-and-under the warp. A single thread of the weft crossing the warp is called a pick.
Inventions during the 18th century spurred the Industrial Revolution, with the "picking stick" and the "flying shuttle” (patented by John Kay, 1733) speeding up production of fabric (Wiki).

#Macro Mondays - #MacroMondays - #Paper
In a time of absolutely excessive digitisation and a fight against our own history it would be necessary to stop for a moment a to remember. Where would we stand today, if there were not uncountless people who wrote down their knowledge and their experiences on paper. On what would we built our future ? I have my doubts that some hundret years from now USB sticks, harddrives our clouds
will reach the same importance.
This here, is the oldest paper I own. It belongs to a chant book printed in 1883.
In einer Zeit der absolut exzessiven Digitalisierung und dem Kampf gegen die eigene Geschichte wäre es mal nötig anzuhalten und uns zu Besinnen. Wo wären wir heute, wenn es nicht unzählige Menschen gegeben hätte, die ihr Wissen und ihre Erfahrungen zu Papier gebracht hätten. Worauf würden wir unsere Zukunft erbauen ? Ich habe meine Zweifel, dass USB Sticks, Festplatten und clouds in ein paar hundert Jahren den selben Wert erlangen werden. Dies ist das älteste Papier, was ich besitze. Es gehört zu einem Gesangbuch was im Jahr 1883 gedruckt wurde.
or the holders of power... become lovers of wisdom :-)
Plato, The Republic
Plato, 428/427 or 424/423 – 348/347 BC) was an Athenian philosopher during the Classical period in Ancient Greece, founder of the Platonist school of thought, and the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world.
He is widely considered the pivotal figure in the history of Ancient Greek and Western philosophy, along with his teacher, Socrates, and his most famous student, Aristotle. Plato has also often been cited as one of the founders of Western religion and spirituality.
Let us hope that joe and kamala are lovers of wisdom ;-)

“...perhaps mankind must have a time of darkness so that we will one day again know what a blessing is the light.”
― Marion Zimmer Bradley, The Mists of Avalon
Searching for peace to mankind starts with each and one of us.
The time for cleansing is right now, within yourself. Look at your reactions, why do you act like you do - have someone hurt you sometime? Try to forgive and the energy that is stuck within, which hurts, may disappear more quickly than you will imagine.
And not to mention getting rid of things and people that won't do you any good...
Swooooosch gone, done it √
Not finished yet tho 😂
I'll never give up hope for mankind, we will wake up 🙏
Ooooops my blah blah went on again, theehee
Johannes Gensfleisch, genannt Gutenberg (* um 1400 in Mainz; † vor dem 26. Februar 1468 ebenda), gilt als Erfinder des modernen Buchdrucks mit beweglichen Metalllettern (Mobilletterndruck) und der Druckerpresse. Die Verwendung von beweglichen Lettern ab 1450 revolutionierte die herkömmliche Methode der Buchproduktion (das Abschreiben von Hand) und löste in Europa eine Medienrevolution aus.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Our Blue Planet is in great Danger
Mankind will soon be here a stranger
If nothing is done
We won’t have anymore Fun
As Life will become a Struggle
We’ll soon get into Trouble
Together with Flora and Fauna
We’ll end up in the Nirwana
Let’s safe our blue-tiful Planet
We can’t ignore it nor leave it

The Baroque Garden is not the Castle’s only garden. To the left of the Baroque Garden is the romantic, English-style garden, where the small Bath House Castle is also located. With its small lakes and shrubberies the Romantic Garden was created to convey moods and present the beauty of nature.
A landscape garden with meandering paths, canals and lakes was laid out by Frederik VII (1848-63) in the Indelukket enclosure and Lille Dyrehave woods around the Badstueslottet castle, built by Frederik II.
On a small island in the Ødam pond, the king built a miniature version of a Norwegian manor, and this became a favourite place for the royal couple.
By contrast, the straight lines and sharp angles of the Baroque Garden display the beauty implicit in mankind’s control of nature.

I tried to think of something that would make one Smile and I kept coming up blank. So I thought maybe I can photograph my contender in a kinda funny way??? The Safety Pin...I pinned a fallen leaf back on to shrub hoping it would stop the leaves from falling.....(and winter coming)
On April 10, 1849, Walter Hunt was grantedUS patent for his safety pin.

Humans on a mokoro. AERIAL VIEW
Wish you a great weekend
Will be away 10 days, so stay well ALL. Hugs
************************************************************
A mokoro is a type of canoe commonly used in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. It is propelled through the shallow waters of the delta by standing in the stern and pushing with a pole, in the same manner as punting.
Mekoro are traditionally made by digging out the trunk of a large straight tree, such as an ebony tree or Kigelia tree.
christian musical | Gospel hymn | "God's Hopes for Mankind Have Not Changed" | God Wants to Gain a Group of Overcomers
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/God-s-hopes-have-not-chan...
Introduction
Ever since He created man in the beginning,
God has yearned for a group, a group of overcomers,
a group that will walk with Him and are able to
understand,
comprehend and know His disposition.
Regardless of how long He still has to wait,
regardless of how hard the road ahead,
no matter how far off the objectives He yearns for,
God has not altered nor given up on His expectations
for man.
This wish of God has never changed.
This wish of God remains the same.
This wish of God has never changed.
This wish of God, this wish of God will never fade.

*Working Towards a Better World
President Barack Obama is in Hiroshima, Japan today. He is the first sitting U.S. president to visit, Hiroshima Japan and said that "mankind possessed the means to destroy itself". Unfortunately, I am afraid that the way things are going presently this is quite possible, he also called for "Moral Revolution" and I personally, join him in that call!
More than 120,000 people are still alive having survived the horrors of the atomic bombings in 1945. We must make a worldwide concentrated effort to avoid this ever happening again!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜

Nicéphore Niépce
The first partially successful photograph of a camera image was made in approximately 1816 by Nicéphore Niépce, using a very small camera of his own making and a piece of paper coated with silver chloride, which darkened where it was exposed to light.
There would be so many things to choose from. Not only is the camera an idea but also the things that the wee people are doing.
Happy Smile on Saturday

Antique Man's watch
The Flickr Lounge - Weekly Theme - It's About Time
I've been always fascinated by old watches. Unfortunately, this example no longer runs but it is still beautiful.
Peter Henlein is believed to be the inventor of the watch.
