We experience the physical and metaphysical aspects of time. We often say "time flies", but what has moved?

Gare Montparnasse (1914) is a painting by the Italian metaphysical painter Giorgio de Chirico. Many of de Chirico's works were inspired by the introspective feelings evoked by travel. He was born in Greece to Italian parents. This work was painted during a period when he lived in Paris.
The painting depicts the Gare Montparnasse railway station in Paris, France. It is a classic example of de Chirico's style, depicting an angular perspective on an outdoor architectural setting in the long shadows and deep colours of early evening. On the horizon is a steam train with a plume of white smoke billowing away from it. The train image appears several times in de Chirico's work. In the foreground is a bunch of bananas, another recurring image in de Chirico's work (cf. Le Rêve Transformé).
In 1916, de Chirico painted another work simply titled The Melancholy of Departure.

from a poem I forgot I'd written: "lightseekers"
and then I saw great waters parting and joyful wavelets clapping in
delight, singing the song of
what is, what was and what is
to be… a metaphysical world, disembodied

I was watching a documentary, Wildest Amazon, the other night and was entranced by the pitcher plants. So I grabbed my iPhone and took a picture from my SmartTV and manipulated it into this... SmartMe!
I love technology when it's creative!

But the Infinite, by its very nature, cannot be captured by any proposition and thus remains unknown. Nevertheless, the very thing the human mind seeks is the knowledge of the Infinite, since the mind is itself a participation in the Infinite: it is a finite reality that subsists as otherness in the act of the Infinite. And this allows it to cast its gaze always more deeply into the unattainable infinity of the true.
... Leibniz thus reaches a notion where the world, in the words of Ludwig Feuerbach, looks like “crystal that refracts the light (of divinity) into a rich spectrum of infinite colors.”

Went out for some more sunrise photos but I couldn't capture the right lighting and fit and then I headed home.
Walking up from the beach I turned around and this reminds me of what every photographer suggests ... when you can't find you want in front of you ... turn around!
This seagull didn't even attempt to communicate with me but concentrated on what was happening far away: farther away than I could see. Strangely I heard a voice in the breeze about something about Hawaii ...
But it didn't matter because I captured the entire scene and now I get to show you what I almost missed if I continued to just look ahead ...
Alternate Story:
Seaguille awoke from the night before with a chainsaw hangover and realized he had to change the pattern of his life. It was simple. Stay where he was or quit the nocturnal flying and learn to live a normal life.
then he looked out across the Salish Sea and realized that the San Juan Islands were just the first step ... he was young, he was proud and Juanita was just down at the next lamp post. They could make a life somewhere, anywhere but here ...
When the sun hit sea, he had made his decision. Yes anywhere was different than here ... but he would always wake up with himself ... so he decided to stay, at least for a day.
Juanita flew closer and gave him the squawk. He smiled. It was settled. They found a perch on the cliffs and raised 17 broods of young seagulls who all longed to look at the sea ... but they all stayed home because home really is where the heart is ...
The Chapel of the Holy Cross is a Roman Catholic chapel built into the red-rock buttes of Sedona, Arizona. It was commissioned by sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude, who is said to have drawn her inspiration in 1932 from the newly constructed Empire State Building, on which a cross seemed to her to be superimposed.
The Chapel was completed in 1956 at a construction cost of $300,000. In 2007, Arizonans voted the Chapel to be one of the Seven Man-Made Wonders of Arizona. It is also said to be the site of one of the so-called Sedona vortices, where some believe that heightened spiritual and metaphysical energy can be found.
