Una luz turbadora, me atrae,
me aprisiona.
A veces puedo salir.
Salgo y vivo mi vida normal.
¿La vida es normal?
¿Quién lleva una vida normal?
Aquel mendigo que duerme en el portal,
¿lleva una vida normal?
La señora de los rulos de lunes,
¿lleva una vida normal?
Cada vida es normal y anormal.
Cada vida esta hecha para ser vivida anormalmente
Deseo una luz con penumbra.
Una luz con sueño.
¿Una luz con sombras?
¿Sombras?
The road to a new normal is a race won with perseverance and prayer, not speed . The one who finds the spiritual discipline to realize that he or she cannot do this on their own is the one who will find the strength of the one who is, who was, and who will be. In letting go and trusting our Creator to be our dragonslayer we will overcome what seems unsurmountable. In plain english, when we are weak, our Creator’s strength can be made visible.

With all them festive thingies all finished the normal routine is back, I dont go back to work till tomorrow so iv'e lost track of the days, lots of lazy do nothings just chillin abouts I have had so tomorrow will be a killer ;-(((
mom dad and one child
such a wonderful sight to see
but i was lucky i had a sister
today its hard to figure how this can be
life now has so many choices
so many family styles
you can have one parent two or more
they can be as big a variety as wide as your door
and just to know you can be so much more
you can be a he, she, shehe or maybe a goat
i've heard say there's a guy who thinks he's a boat
but why do we worry
it's a time to just scoot and scurry
while children grow up in this slurry of muddy soups
children dont know if your a tree or a bug
they just want a lot of hugs
children need love and a guiding light
as long as your tail is bright and right.
First used normal oil painting effect at 70%. Had planned to crop, but really enjoyed the surrounding foliage so decided against it. Finished by enclosing in the film strip 6 frame, which also darkened some of the photo corners. Located in my neighbor K’s rose garden.

Hi friends, it’s been grey and cold (temperatures averaging -7°C | 19.4°F) here in Ontario, which makes me want to hibernate. :) I’ve been listening to a lot of great music, practicing daily yoga, and playing with the iPhone that I got for Christmas. Funny fact, this is the first cell phone that I’ve ever had. Ever. I’m having a lot of fun taking photos and making short videos. And fun is good. :)
Flickr always seems too serious to me for smartphone photos, but I would like to see that change. I know that several of you post iPhone images, so I might get brave enough eventually and join you. Yesterday was the first day this year that I took a photo with my DSLR, compared to loads of photos/videos that I’ve taken with my iPhone... I love photos that are taken more spontaneously. I find that DSLR photography has become almost too sterilized. Too perfect. If you know what I mean. I will try to expand on my thoughts about this at some point in a later post.
The photo above is from last year. I took it with my Nikon the same day that I took the photo of the sign at the tattoo shop. Thank you for all your warm and wonderful comments on that image (and all my images!). For the record, I don’t actually have any tattoos, and I don’t intend to ever get any. Still, I find tattoos cool and interesting, and that sign was amusing to me.
Sending out love and good wishes to all of you! I’ve missed you, and I’m grateful for your friendship/presence here! I hope that 2022 will be a magical and inspiring year for all of us. x

After a very wet leadup to Christmas, it's great to finally get some normal winter conditions and be able to strap on the snowshoes. Hope everyone had a good weekend and the good folks to the south of us in the US are safe with the stormy weather they are having there.
“Get at the root: union with God. On these days of recollection drop everything and hide in yourself to find Him in the silence where He is hidden within you, and listen to what he has to say. There is only one thing to live for: love. There is one unhappiness: not to love God. That is what pains me on these days of recollection, to see my own soul so full of movement and shadows and vanities, cross-currents of dry wind stirring up the dust and rubbish of desire. I don’t expect to avoid this humiliation in my life, but when will I become cleaner, more simple, more loving? “Have mercy on me, O God. My sun is always before me.”

Norm
The norm is not a natural law, but something that makes demands and coercion regarding the areas in which it is applied. Therefore, the norm claims power. [The norm is linked to a positive intervention and transformation technique, a norm-maker project. - Michel Foucault, Abnormals]
At least Flickr is back to normal.
I was using GIMP, and the shape of my toolbar changed. Why? Who knows.
At least when I shut down my computer, it went back to the normal shape.
I can't wait till fall! But it might be late and short, too hot!
I'm sure O'hare is as big of a mess as Schiller Park was on this fine snowy afternoon. The WC Y0175 pig transfer for Bedford Park is sitting on the Gauntlet with Super John Fenliciki chomping at the bit to go while a CSX Grand Rapids crew (you can plainly see) is in their usual no hurry to depart on CP 504 out track 7 to B-12. He's doubled out of the south end of the yard at Soering Avenue before power switches and CTC... A SOO SD60 is very rare on jobs that always rated CP SD40's and sometimes MLW's in their final winter in 1996.... I'm sure 3025 is warm, I guess its time to crawl back up on my geep and have another cup of coffee, it's going to be another all day, one-way adventure...

Reflections through a closed restaurant.
Having worked as a chef for 28 years, my heart goes out to my band of sisters & brothers through this incredibly tough time.
Resilience, creativity, hard work & ability to work together, we will get through the toughest service we have ever had.
Christmas is over and the shops and streets are starting to get back to normal.

Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Mankind is about 140 thousand years old. If we compress the Earth's existence into a normal full day of 24 hours, then we’ve been on this planet for... 2.5 seconds.
In 2.5 seconds we’ve become the dominant species with a rapidly growing population, causing a catastrophic impact on the environment. We have created the industrial revolution and burned fossil fuels creating more carbon in the atmosphere than ever before. We have caused global warming at a record pace, endangering our own existence. We have cut trees and destroyed forests more than ever before, polluted air, water, and soil. We have created an island of waste, the size of the state of Texas, in the middle of the ocean. We have caused the 4th mass animal extinction. Three-quarters of Earth’s land surface is under pressure from human activity. In just 2.5 seconds we’ve turned the planet into our own personal factory.
It took almost 4.5 billion years of evolution for us to exist and we have changed so much in so little time.
The problem is us. And it is up to us if we want to make it to the 4th second.

With my project “2.5 seconds” I hope to bring awareness about climate change, to start a conversation about the issue and to educate more people about the facts, the urgency of the crisis and the seriousness of its consequences. The project is a series of photographs that highlight the environmental crisis through metaphors and symbolism. Each one of them illustrates and represents a specific environmental issue using allegorical figures and subjects, props, costumes and natural landscapes.
I used “2.5 seconds” as a title because I wanted to invoke the power of numbers and perspective to create a strong, straightforward and shocking effect.
It all started with an idea I had almost 3 years ago. I have always loved nature, and have been both amazed and captivated by our planet’s beauty. I've traveled to many places before, but none of them could compare to what I felt and saw in Iceland. Visiting Iceland for the first time had a great impact on me and made me realize that our planet is fragile and its beauty may disappear. The thought that nature is being affected and destroyed by the changing climate became personal, shocking and upsetting. I wanted to capture and preserve Iceland's incredible beauty through my art while I still can.
The pressure from human activity is having a catastrophic impact on the environment that endangers our own existence. But I feel like ecology problems that are threatening our environment and affecting everyone on the planet do not get enough media attention.
I am using photography as my unique voice to express how I feel and share my fear for the future. I want to bring more meaning to my work and create a strong message for all the people out there. I hope my art will be louder and clearer than words.
The time to act is now.
