[T]he soul of every person, no matter when he lived or what degree of holiness he acquired, whether he attained to the very heights of perfection or whether he was but entering upon the road of righteousness, whether an adult or an infant is united with God through grace, and entertains the Holy Spirit as his Guest. True, this union can be more or less perfect, it can admit of degrees which vary ad infinitum, but the mystical union is everywhere and always essentially the same.
-Barthelemy Froget, The Indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Souls of the Just According to the Teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas (New York: Paulist Press, 1921), 118.

It was really cool being out yesterday the conditions were right for a walk in the woods, but beware of the obstacles.
"Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence."
-Henry David Thoreau
Sometimes we have obstacles placed in our path and how we choose to deal with them can define who we are. I am so relaxed with a situation like this. Just sit back and enjoy the interlude.

This is "Fancy Pants" from last weekend. After takeoff it put on an aerobatic show for me, weaving around trees and dodging cliff outcrops. Looked like a joyride, but was probably looking for rodents.

This was a long exposure mixed with fog on the ocean. It was 27 degrees in Tacoma, WA this morning, but I was determined to capture this scene. A worn out bike suspended across two poles.

The human capacity to fight back will always astonish doctors and philosophers. It seems, indeed, that there are no bad circumstances and no obstacles so big that man cannot conquer them.

On the beach of Petten, you can find this obstacle run ;)
These poles have been placed as a monument, reminding us all of the old village of Petten. This village was washed away by a major storm hundres of years ago.

As some of you know. I have been without a camera for some time now... each time I would think I was going to choose that next baby. A financial obstacle would always get in the way.
Awhile ago... a fellow Flickr friend made an incredibly generous offer to give me his old camera to use. Free of charge, no strings attached... at the time, I had politely declined. The offer alone was enough to bring a tear to my eyes.
"You are a sweetie Brent"
I eventually decided to take him up on this wonderful offer... the camera arrived this past weekend. (and) I have a series of shots I did Sunday that I will post this week.
But first, I wanted to start my new Flickr life with a few photos featuring the camera itself... some of you may recognize it. Please check out his photostream. Brent and the rest of the gang in Winnipeg are quite special people.

As for my financial situation... things are much smoother now and I even have a camera I've been thinking about. But, right now, more than anything, I want to thank Brent for making it possible for me to get an early start on this.

This was computed for a loaded crude oil tanker, but it doesn't really matter. For a different type of large ship, the absolute values might change but the relative difference and especially the fundamental behaviour would be the same.
Scenario 1 - Crashback: Power from full ahead to full astern (BTW, in reality this takes some time to implement in reality), rudder a-port 25 degrees. The ship turns to port initially but as sshe loses way the effectiveness of the rudder is diminished and finally, inertia just has its way, the rotational energy of her engines turning and rotating her to starboard. She might end up colliding with her vulnerable side against the obstacle that the commanding officer was trying to avoid in the first place.
Scenario 2 - Crashback and rudder midships. As the rudder no longer counteracts her natural tendency to swing to starboard, the turn is much more pronounced. So it might seem that it is best to leave the hands off the rudder. But in fact that is not so.
Scenario 3: Crashback, rudder hard a-starboard. Now the rudder and the natural tendency to swing are acting together, increasing the initial rate of turn until the rudder becomes ineffective as she loses way.
And finally, scenario 4: leave her engines going at full ahead and do it all with the rudder, keeping mind she may have a preferred direction of turn. That will result in the shortest turn radius.

When you are a small bird in a big world what do you do when your food is bigger than your house. Like this Downy Woodpecker - just hunker down and dig in.
No obstacle is too big. 😊

Many of my contacts know I have been battling health problems for quite some time now.. hence why i keep taking time out from Flickr.
Over the last 9 months it has gotten quite out of control, leaving me feeling very depressed, frustrated, in pain and totally uninspired ..
I have had chronic back pain for a long time now, but have been experiencing other weird 'unexplained' symptoms, especially my ongoing tinnitus/jaw/headaches pain issues ..
I finally had an appointment with a Rhumatologist earlier this week ( after waiting 3 months)
He concluded that I have Fibromyalgial Syndrome.
I remember at one stage I used to find touching my hair/head very painful, and that is one of the most common symtoms of this condition apparently..
It is a complex thing, but in my case it has probably been brought on by many years of having chronic pain, and now i have become super sensitive to any level of pain.
My body has gone so haywire with it that i have no option but to go onto strong medication ( nerve blockers)
My problems started when I was quite young with experiencing pain, and i guess my body is now saying 'No More' ! therefore my brain signals are being overloaded..
This is what I understand at this stage about it. It can be genetic as well apparently..
Different people suffer to varying degrees with it. I also have TMJ as part of it , which is one of the reasons It is may be causing the severity of my tinnitus ...
It is very similar, so I am told ( symptom wise) to MS, but not as serious ...
So I guess now the next thing for me to do is start trailing meds for it, to see which one will help me the most. Once they do start helping me, i will then have to start trying to get myself a lot healthier in order to cope long term and have better quality of life :)
