BESIDE – JON & VANGELIS
A B V for Vulture
you're so beautiful
African White-backed beauty
standing so dutiful
How I love to watch you fly
soar across the storm-swept sky
dipping down and rising high
so incredible; I want to cry
People are afraid of you
but let me plead your case
you do not claw or maim or kill
you feast on carrion; already long-dead carcass
You may be large; your wing span broad
but you are a gentle giant bird
disinterested in those who gaze at you
in awe; to disrespect you is absurd
How I long for you to look
just once to last me all my days
to meet my eyes; see an open book
to be filled with wonder; I'm so amazed
People carry on their journey
giving you just a cursory glance
but my friend and I; we both linger
life is to be savoured; a joyful dance
Hurrying and scurrying past; in the rain
your proud features begin to blur
I make a memory with one click
and still you do not stir
Within me my heart beats fast and hard
excited by your omnipresence
oh, if only you would turn to me
grace me with your undivided presence
At last I force myself to leave
at last you take to flight
but alas, I lack the photographic skills
to capture your essence in beautiful flight
You are from the old world
and I am of the new
you are critically endangered
please do not worry;
we will try our best to save you.

Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the very kind comments and faves.
Enjoy a very happy weekend, dear friends <3
For when you're looking...
You never asked me what else lingered. And in my haste to stand on solid ground, I never quite told you. I never quite gave you the recount of what else I carry with me.
Like the unshakable feeling of walking on thin ice – the creaking, the cracking, the visible fractures expanding with every footfall. The fear of the ice giving in, the fear of the frozen dark waters underneath consuming me whole, inhabited by someone else’s monsters of the deep. The apprehension, like a living, breathing creature, sucking the air out and exhaling black, oppressive smoke that made it impossible to see or even breathe.
There’s an omnipresence to it– it echoes in the deepest recesses of my consciousness. Well and truly embedded, that I am robbed of any certainty as to my recoil – is it the memory, or the actual sound? Is it a treacherous footstep, or the imagination of one? Has my foot truly gone through – is it touching those dark waters – or is it just that odd precipice like a night start or a lucid dream?
And there it was, a sense of dread you instilled. A clamping, silencing proverbial hand, because so much as a breath threatened to break the ice…
Yet it broke anyway. Not fractured by my weight, nor by a whisper of an exhale. It was the things that lurked beneath, rearing their heads. I’d glimpsed them, ghost-like, through the thinnest ice. I’d heard their wails. I knew they existed as surely as I knew I existed. And now I saw them, free at long last.
They’d been ravenous, and now they demand to be fed.
Do you truly begrudge me the aversion to being cannibalized by your monsters?

The idea of "everything is connected" comes with Endless Knot. I hope it goes with Macro Monday's theme "connection"
Wikipedia says
" The endless knot or eternal knot (Sanskrit: Shrivatsa; Tibetan དཔལ་བེའུ། dpal be'u; Mongolian Ulzii) is a symbolic knot and one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols. It is an important cultural marker in places significantly influenced by Tibetan Buddhism such as Tibet, Mongolia, Tuva, Kalmykia, and Buryatia. It is also sometimes found in Chinese art and used in Chinese knots.
Various interpretations of the symbol are:
The eternal continuum of mind.
The endless knot iconography symbolised Samsara i.e., the endless cycle of suffering or birth, death and rebirth within Tibetan Buddhism.
The inter-twining of wisdom and compassion.
Interplay and interaction of the opposing forces in the dualistic world of manifestation, leading to their union, and ultimately to harmony in the universe.
The mutual dependence of religious doctrine and secular affairs.
The union of wisdom and method.
The inseparability of emptiness (shunyata) and dependent origination, the underlying reality of existence.
Symbolic of knot symbolism in linking ancestors and omnipresence (refer etymology of Tantra, Yoga and religion) (see Namkha.)
Since the knot has no beginning or end it also symbolizes the wisdom of the Buddha."

He buscado por todas partes la ciudad soñada,
y al fin la he encontrado en Ronda.
No hay nada más inesperado en España
que esta ciudad salvaje y montañera.

A la sombra de una barca,
fuera de la mar, dormido.
Descalzo y el torso al aire.
Los hombros, contra la arena.
Y contra la arena el sueño,
a la sombra de una barca,
fuera de la mar, sin remos

El hecho de no verte y de saberte
te agrega horror, cosa de magia que osas
multiplicar la cifra de las cosas
que somos y que abarcan nuestra suerte.
(Jorge Luis Borges / La Rosa Profunda)
A Halloween decoration emanates an eerie feeling of omnipresence as it beckons me from the shelf of a discount store. Even in the context of a brightly lit retail environment, full of shoppers and just one aisle away from potato chips, the eyes radiate pure malevolence. In moments like this it all feels directed solely at me. It's almost as if only I can see these things as they truly are, rather than the cheap plastic skull that other shoppers see. My mind always seems to work in this two-track system: interpreting what I actually see versus how things make me feel. There's often a wide gulf separating the two. It's the simultaneous curse and blessing bestowed upon artists. I snapped the picture then hurried on with my shopping. But memories of this moment will linger.

One of the recent residential highrises of the Wilhelminapier (Boston(Van Dongen-Koschuch) flags the omnipresence of OMA/Rem Koolhaas. De Rotterdam. Well, the dreary light brown textured brick (this type of brick is the bane of contemporary architecture) facade sorely needs it.

Friedhofskirche zum heiligen Karl Borromäus,
Wiener Zentralfriedhof
St. Charles Borromeo Cemetery Church,
Vienna Central Cemetery
"In his design for the church, the architect, Max Hegele, spanned the entire spectrum of architecture and art: extending from more contemporary concepts, as in the instance of art nouveau to older Christian architecture – as in Saint Charles church in Vienna and St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome – and reaching as far back as the temples and burial sites of the pharaohs in ancient Egypt, with their belief in life after death. Painted on to the firmament in the dome vault are 999 stars – a reference to God’s omnipresence. The cemetery church consists of an upper and a lower church, which was conceived as a tomb complex. The floor-level of the upper church is three metres above that of the cemetery itself." ar-tour.com/guides/central-cemetery-vienna-austria-1/the-...

WASSER ,
die Ader allen Entstehens,
die Ader allen Lebens,
die Ader der Bewegung,
die Ader der Vergangenheit,

die Ader die uns umgibt,
die Ader die durch uns fließt,

WATER,
the vein to all originate,
the vein all life,
the vein of the movement,
the vein of the past,
the vein of the future,
the vein to us surrounds,
the vein by us flows,
long before our birth.
“We know that God is everywhere; but certainly, we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us; and it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His worlds wheel their silent course, that we read clearest His infinitude, His omnipotence, His omnipresence.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Observa las cascadas
Si les retiraramos las piedras de su camino,
perderían su canción .
Son los obstáculos que hacen que nuestras aguas prosigan.
Ninguna roca, por más dura y resistente que sea,
es capaz de detener el agua.
Ésta tiene la sabiduría para contornarla y seguir adelante,
con la fuerza de la suavidad…
Nada es más suave y al mismo tiempo tan fuerte como el agua,
que fluye firme y lentamente,
con la sabiduría de tener el mismo destino del hombre
...seguir adelante.
(Autor Desconocido)
Une pensée pour tous ceux qui ont faim et froid ...
Que Dieu les protège!!!
Los castillos se quedaron solos,
sin princesas ni caballeros.
Solos a la orilla de un río,
vestidos de musgo y silencio.
A las ventanas suben
los pájaros muertos de miedo.
Espían salones vacíos,
abandonados terciopelos.
Ciegas sueñan las armaduras
el más sutil de los sueños.
Reposan de largas batallas,
se miran en libros de cuentos.
Los dragones y las alimañas
no los defendieron del tiempo.
Y los castillos están solos,
tristes de sombras y misterios.
(María Elena Walsh / Tutú Marambá)
Before all the wondrous shows of the widespread space around him, what living, sentient thing loves not the all-joyous light -- with its colors, its rays and undulations, its gentle omnipresence in the form of the wakening Day?
- Novalis (1800)
Architecte : Jacques Ferrier.
La singularité du bâtiment de Jacques Ferrier se fonde sur le lien que le nouveau siège communautaire crée avec le paysage de Rouen. Son profil contraste avec l’omniprésence des plans horizontaux qui caractérise ce site portuaire, et sa silhouette fait écho aux bâtiments industriels rénovés de la rive droite. Les obliques du volume répondent aux silhouettes des grues et des objets portuaires, aux étraves des navires qui passent. Le bâtiment révèle et se sert de la puissance du site pour intensifier la vie urbaine sur la rive gauche. En prolongement du futur parc, le bâtiment est à son tour créateur de contexte pour le futur écoquartier dont il sera la proue.
Son architecture facettée et transparente est conçue pour jouer des variations de lumière du ciel normand, des reflets de l’eau et des couleurs du climat. Le bâtiment est revêtu d’une façade d’écailles de verre colorées. Irisant et diffractant la lumière solaire, elles parent le bâtiment de touches de couleur qui se démultiplient avec les reflets du fleuve. Ce registre poétique est inspiré de l’impressionnisme et de Claude Monet. Le verre est revêtu d’une couche d’oxydes métalliques qui, de l’extérieur crée un reflet iridescent coloré, et s’efface vu de l’intérieur, n’altérant pas la vision des espaces de travail.
Architect: Jacques Ferrier.
The singularity of Jacques Ferrier’s building is based on the link that the new community headquarters creates with the landscape of Rouen. Its profile contrasts with the omnipresence of horizontal planes that characterize this port site, and its silhouette echoes the renovated industrial buildings on the right bank. The oblique lines of the volume respond to the silhouettes of cranes and port objects, and to the bows of passing ships. The building reveals and uses the power of the site to intensify urban life on the left bank. As an extension of the future park, the building is in turn a creator of context for the future eco-district of which it will be the prow.
Its faceted and transparent architecture is designed to play on the variations in light of the Normandy sky, the reflections of the water and the colors of the climate. The building is clad in a façade of colored glass scales. Iridescent and diffracting sunlight, they adorn the building with touches of color that multiply with the reflections of the river. This poetic register is inspired by impressionism and Claude Monet. The glass is coated with a layer of metallic oxides which, from the outside creates a colored iridescent reflection, and fades when seen from the inside, not altering the vision of the work spaces.
Retour aux anciens Bains et Thermes liégeois transformés en Cité Miroir, un lieu de débat, d'éducation et de culture.
L’échevin liégeois Georges Truffaut lance le projet des Bains et Thermes. Il comprend deux bassins de natation, une station d'autobus, une section d'hydrothérapie, des locaux annexes, un café-restaurant, un dancing. L'architecte moderniste Georges Dedoyard sera désigné au terme d'un concours au règlement très strict.
Le bâtiment est achevé sous l’occupation nazie et ouvre ses portes au public en mai 1942. Georges Truffaut, décédé en résistant en Angleterre un mois auparavant, ne verra jamais son projet abouti.
Considéré comme l’une des plus importantes réalisations du style moderniste de l’entre-deux-guerres, le bâtiment de la Sauvenière adopte les formes d’un paquebot aux proportions majestueuses. A l’intérieur, l’élément le plus singulier est le grand hall des bassins qui s’étend sur 80 mètres de long et plus de 10 mètres de haut.
Dedoyard s’est inspiré du courant artistique et architectural allemand Bauhaus. Les formes élémentaires - ici le cube et la sphère - sont mises en valeur, la symétrie règne. Les murs nus, les lignes épurées, l’omniprésence du béton armé et du verre vont dans le sens de cette architecture essentiellement fonctionnaliste.
Return to the old Liège baths and thermal baths transformed into a Cité Miroir, a place of debate, education and culture.
The Liège alderman Georges Truffaut launched the Bains et Thermes project. It includes two swimming pools, a bus station, a hydrotherapy section, additional premises, a café-restaurant, a dance hall. The modernist architect Georges Dedoyard will be appointed after a competition with very strict regulations.
The building was completed under the Nazi occupation and opened its doors to the public in May 1942. Georges Truffaut, who had died in resistance in England a month earlier, would never see his project succeeded.
Considered one of the most important achievements of the Modernist style of the interwar period, the Sauvenière building takes the form of a liner of majestic proportions. Inside, the most unique feature is the large pool hall which stretches 80 meters long and more than 10 meters high.
Dedoyard was inspired by the German Bauhaus artistic and architectural movement. The elementary forms - here the cube and the sphere - are highlighted, symmetry reigns. Bare walls, clean lines, the omnipresence of reinforced concrete and glass go in the direction of this essentially functionalist architecture.
Running, cold from cold, mind to eye
a mood within a mood set to rely
upon omniscient twilight of january
rubbing shoulders with time so carefree
pensive our these days isolated by hurts
mysterious to the mobility of all efforts
rasping gales in the showing mind of flypast
caught on the breeze hope remains steadfast
it's just a dream within a pane of a day agleam
a vista neither here nor there in dido scheme
call upon the view again in sunsetting splendour
a journey to speak of in this setting venture
now could be forever were it not for the missing seconds
taken to redeem shattered days of forgotten legends
remembered tonight like the proudest silhouette
resplendent crowns adorn the memory of a living vignette.
