“It's like doughnut holes. Whether you take a doughnut hole as a blank space or as an entity unto itself is a purely metaphysical question and does not affect the taste of the doughnut one bit.”

Metaphysics of peeping

The mountain knocked against my bones
And I invited it to take over
A vast visitor
Making space inside me and tearing my terrain apart
There is no gall left nor a spleen
Useless body things
I traded my limbs for valleys and slopes
A fortress of trees to guard me
And snow capped peaks that cause
The people below to gaze in a cerebral wonder
Shiver and exclaim
“I bet it’s freezing up there!"
You cannot transform me anymore
One day you reminded me that the cells in one’s body
Change over completely every 7 years.
Now, it will be 700
I might even get angry and erupt
Emerge like if Joan of Arc was a landscape
And everyone I know will be dead.

Ha! The alternative entry to Sydney's Luna Park.
This photo, taken in May 2023 with my Canon 5D Mk IV, was inspired by the metaphysical-style art of Giorgio de Chirico, with his use of shadows and illogical, mysterious, perspectives.
Check his work at 'Art News':

And speaking of 'Crazy Blue' here is my current favourite artist on Spotify, Soundcloud and Youtubemusic - it's IMY2.
I LOVE the lead singer's cool blue hair and her absolutely sensational voice. Her name is Annalise Mahanes, and here she is with Gnarls Barkley's song 'Crazy'. And she even says 'Ha Ha Ha' in the lyrics, lol. Very gorgeous!!!

Il quadro nella foto è di Piero Marussig (Trieste 1879 - Pavia 1937 ). Guardandolo ho immaginato che il ragazzo del quadro continui a giocare nelle sale del museo.

The kids and I were talking metaphysics and look who showed up. A barred owl flew into our view at 3pm. Owls aren't usually flying around mid-day. And of course, I had to run out and get a photo.

Thank you for looking at my images. It is very much appreciated.
An image was placed on the walls of Tibetan monasteries thousands of years ago called the Bhavachakra, translated as The Wheel of Life, or The Wheel of Existence.
An image, a form of mandala, a portal to psychological and metaphysical truths about our mind, our behavior, our existence in our reality and beyond.
Although an overwhelming visual spectacle at first, if we want to start the discovery somewhere, we can look at the very center of the Bhavachakra, right at the core there is a circle. And inside that circle we can observe three animals: a pig, a rooster and a snake, all chasing each other, forming a circle themselves.
In his early teachings, Buddha identified “three poisons,” or three fires, or three negative qualities of the mind that cause most of our problems—and most of the problems in the world.
The three poisons are Ignorance, Greed and Hatred.
Inside the Bhavachakra image, ignorance represented by the pig, greed as the rooster and hatred is shown in the form of a snake, and by them biting into each others tale they keep all the wheels turning like an unstoppable force, like an engine behind all things.
We don’t need to look far to see these three poisons at work. We see them every day in the news and in the streets, and if we pay attention, we can see them in our own mind and actions. The arising of these feelings may be outside our control—we don’t choose to be angry, for instance. But recognizing how greed, hatred, and ignorance cause tremendous harm in the world can help us learn to manage them.
Although this teaching may appear negative, a wise understanding of the three poisons is ultimately positive and empowering. With this understanding we can clearly see and feel the factors that are causing confusion, unhappiness, and suffering in our lives. And with this clarity and insight, we can make the choice to eliminate those factors.
The three poisons are opposed by three wholesome, or positive attitudes essential to liberation: generosity (dana), lovingkindness (metta), and wisdom (prajna).
There is a sentence in Aristotle’s Metaphysics that says, “God moves the world as the beloved moves the lover.” This is also the meaning of learning, to be moved by that which is of the Spirit, to find joy in the existence of the Spirit, to love the Spirit. In the language of the Bible, the Hebrew word yada ידע, which refers to the concept of knowledge, is also used to mean both knowledge and the act of love. Yada ידע means not only knowledge through reason, but the most intimate interaction with things. It means knowing things lovingly.

The Würth Sculpture Garden invites visitors all year round to enjoy a stimulating encounter with contemporary art in the middle of the picturesque grounds at Arenberg Castle. The art project at Arenberg Castle is a collaboration between the Salzburg Foundation of the American Austrian Foundation and the Würth Collection.
This photo was taken in Capri, at Villa San Michele, Axel Munthe's house. It clearly reminds of the Italian metaphysical painter Giorgio de Chirico.

Sabbioneta (Mantova)
From UNESCO world eritage List:
Mantua and Sabbioneta, in the Po valley, in the north of Italy, represent two aspects of Renaissance town planning: Mantua shows the renewal and extension of an existing city, while 30 km away, Sabbioneta represents the implementation of the period’s theories about planning the ideal city.
Sabbioneta, created in the second half of the 16th century under the rule of one person, Vespasiano Gonzaga Colonna, can be described as a single-period city and has a right angle grid layout.
