Sempre que vejo plantas surgindo de rochas, penso na dificuldade que elas tiveram para brotar e se desenvolver em um suporte tão duro e aparentemente impenetrável. Morro da Conceição, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
Whenever I see plants emerging from rocks, I think of the difficulty they faced to grow and develop on such a hard and apparently impenetrable support. Morro da Conceição (Conceição Hill), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Coming up through the cracks in the pavement......
"They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to seem 'em
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you’ve got
‘Til it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot"
gotta love joni mitchell... :-)

In this world, there is nothing softer or thinner than water.
But to compel the hard and unyielding, it has no equal.
That the weak overcomes the strong, that the hard gives way to the gentle -- this everyone knows. Yet no one asks accordingly. - Lao Tze
Aunt Dora and Uncle Ernie visit Salvador Dali in downtown Buffalo New York ( 1951) and are talked into having their picture taken for a study of a new painting by Mr Dali.

The Persistence of Memory, Salvador Dalí, Mexico City, February 2018
.
Wandering around the streets of Mexico City one can chance on the fascinating and unexpected. So it was that in February 2018 I came upon a collection of Salvador Dalí’s surrealist sculpture installed in a small park near the Zocalo.
.
Perhaps the most prominent surrealist of the 20th century (certainly the most well-known,) Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, was born on May 11, 1904 in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain. Dalí, a skilled draftsman whose skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters (including Raphael, Bronzino, Vermeer and Velázquez), is best known for his striking and bizarre images. His best-known work, “The Persistence of Memory,” a surrealistic image of soft, melting pocket watches, was completed in August 1931. Dalí's expansive repertoire included film, sculpture, and photography, sometimes in collaboration with other renowned artists including Picasso, Miró, Buñuel and Man Ray.
.
Dalí, also known for indulging in unusual, grandiose behavior, dismayed his admirers and critics alike, as his attention-grabbing public actions overshadowed his artwork. Yet in a strange twist of irony, Dalí once said, “There is no way I’m going back to Mexico. I can’t stand to be in a country that is more surrealist than my paintings.”
.
On the morning of January 23, 1989, while listening to his favorite record of Tristan and Isolde, Dalí died of heart failure.

Y Clonc Mawr 27

Nelson Mandela
Beth yw`r Clonc Mawr? Taith gerdded Gymraeg ar gyfer oedolion sy`n dysgu Cymraeg a`r Cymry sy`n mo`yn eu cefnogi nhw. `Yn ni`n cerdded rhan fach o Lwybr Arfordir Sir Benfro bron bob mis ac yn mynd o dde`r sir i`r gogledd.

The Clonc Mawr 27
Pembrokeshire Coast Path, Wales, July 2011
Newgale to Solva
“It is not a calamity to die with dreams
unfulfilled,
but it is a calamity not to go
on the Clonc Mawr.”
Nelson Mandela
What is the Clonc Mawr? The Clonc Mawr is a walk for adults who are learning Welsh and the Welsh speakers who want to support them. We walk a small part of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path almost every month and we`re walking from Amroth in the south to Poppit in the north. It`s a chance for adults who are learning Welsh to use their Welsh outside the classroom, and adult learners of every level are welcome. We started in Amroth in south Pembrokeshire in March 2009 and we`ll finish the Clonc Mawr near Poppit Sands in the north in 2013, so the Clonc Mawr will take about four years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y Clonc Mawr
(English version below)
Fel arfer `yn ni`n cwrdd am 10.30 mewn caffi neu 10.45 os nad oes caffi cyfleus a dechrau`r Clonc Mawr am 11.00. `Yn ni`n cael picnic ar y ffordd ag `yn ni`n cyrraedd pen y daith erbyn 3.00. Lifftiau wedyn yn ôl i`r ceir ac i gaffi am glonc a dished. `Yn ni`n aros yn y caffi tan 4.30. Dyma dros bump awr rhwng 10.45 a 4.30 i`r oedolion sy`n dysgu Cymraeg ei siarad hi.
Mae`r Cymry`n bwysig ar y Clonc Mawr i gloncan da`r dysgwyr achos trwy siarad Cymraeg â`r Cymry mae`r dysgwyr yn dysgu`r iaith. Fel mae Dafydd Iwan yn dweud yn ei gân enwog*:
“I`r Clonc! I`r Clonc!
Dewch Gymry hen ac ifanc.
Dewch i`r Clonc!”
So pobol yn dysgu iaith yn y `stafell ddosbarth. Maen nhw`n cael y patrymau sylfaenol yno ond maen nhw`n dysgu siarad yr iaith trwy ei siarad hi â siaradwyr brodorol tu fa`s i`r `stafell ddosbarth. Ar y Clonc Mawr mae`r dysgwyr yn cael y cyfle i ddefnyddio, ymarfer ac ymestyn y patrymau maen nhw wedi dysgu yn y `stafell ddosbarth. Felly mae`r Cymry`n hanfodol i`r broses `ma ac mae`n bwysig iawn i ni gael Cymry ar y Clonc Mawr. A beth mae`r Cymry`n ei wneud ar y Clonc Mawr? Dim ond cerdded `da ni a chloncan `da pawb am y byd a`r betws.
`Yn ni`n cerdded dim ond tipyn bach o`r Llwybr Arfordir bob tro achos mae`r pwyslais ar siarad Cymraeg, dim ar gerdded. Mae croeso i`r bobol sy` ddim yn mo`yn cerdded gwrdd â ni yn y caffi am yr awr ola` i gloncan.

Mae sawl Clonc Bach o gwmpas Sir Benfro hefyd. Dyma gyfle i`r oedolion sy`n dysgu Cymraeg gwrdd am ddwy awr mewn caffi neu dafarn i gloncan yn Gymraeg. Mae`r Cymry`n hanfodol yma hefyd. Gallwch chi gael manylion y Cloncie Bach trwy Gwglo: Cloncie Bach.

What is Y Clonc Mawr? `Y` means `the, `Clonc` means `a chat` and `Mawr` means `big`. So `Y Clonc Mawr` means `The Big Chat`.
The Clonc Mawr is a walk for adults who are learning Welsh and the Welsh speakers who want to support them. We walk a small part of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path almost every month and we`re walking from Amroth in the south to Poppit in the north. It`s a chance for adults who are learning Welsh to use their Welsh outside the classroom, and adult learners of every level are welcome. We started in Amroth in south Pembrokeshire in March 2009 and we`ll finish the Clonc Mawr near Poppit Sands in the north in 2013, so the Clonc Mawr will take about four years.
We usually meet at 10.30 or 10.45 when there isn`t a convenient cafe and start the Clonc Mawr at 11.00. We have a picnic on the way and we reach the end of the walk by 3.00. Lifts then back to the cars and to a cafe for a clonc and a cuppa. We stay in the cafe `til 4.30. This is over five hours between 10.45 and 4.30 for the adults sho are learning Welsh to speak it.
Welsh speakers are important on the Clonc Mawr to chat to the adult learners because by speaking Welsh with Welsh speakers the learners learn the language. As Dafydd Iwan says in his famous song*:
“To the Clonc! To the Clonc!**
Come Welsh people old and young
Come to the Clonc!”
People don`t learn a language in the classroom. They get the basic patterns there but they learn to speak to speak the language by speaking it with native speakers outside the classroom. On the Clonc Mawr the adult learners have the chance to use, practise and extend the patterns they`ve learnt in the classroom. This means that Welsh speakers are essential to the this process and it`s very important for us to have Welsh speakers on the Clonc Mawr. And what do the Welsh speakers do on the Clonc Mawr? Just walk with us and chat to everyone about anything and everything.
We only walk a small part of the Cioast Path each time because the emphasis is on speaking Welsh, not on walking. People who don`t want to walk are welcome to meet us in the cafe to chat with us for the last hour.
For details: Google `Y Clonc Mawr` or phone 01437 776785.

There are several Clonc Bachs (`Clonc Bach` means `Little Clonc`) around Pembrokeshire as well. This is a chance for the adults who are learning Welsh to meet for an hour or two in a cafe or pub to chat in Welsh. Welsh speakers are essential here as well. You can get details of the Cloncie Bach by Googling: Cloncie Bach.
The poem below by the Cloncmaster is to the Welsh speakers who come to the Clonc Mawr and the Cloncie Bach (Little Cloncs) to chat in Welsh with the adult learners:
The Welsh people of the Cloncs**
You`ll have fun and sport,
Biscuits, cakes and a cuppa of renown.
And when you come as a host, all the way,
Into the merriment, and break the ice,
You`ll have the honour, without noticing,
Of bringing your Welsh to us.
This is an englyn by the `Prifardd` Idris Reynolds to the people who are learning Welsh*:
Learner**
In a garden that was prettier – and its
colours
Very much brighter
There are roses once again
Enlivening the dear border
This is an englyn by the `Prifardd` Ceri Wyn Jones.
The Clonc Mawr**
Because the fun of the small talk on the walk
is the best lesson anywhere,
by persistence and chattering
a second language walks on.

My Dali Collection prints "Persistence of Time" Harmon embossed signature & 2 edges
New edition to my Salvador Dali collection.
This ones an "after" Dali lithograph.
I bought it because I wanted to get any of his prints that had this one graphic editors markings , especially the finger print shown.
It was one of three prints that came up on ebay a while ago (from the same seller) -
All of them had the finger print.
I actually was surprised to get this as cheap as I did as seller contacted me and sold it to me as a "second chance" offer.
I lost the auction but he sold it at my 2nd highest bid price.
The graphic editor ( Harmon) got Dali's finger print after Dali could no longer sign prints due to his illness , before death and used them to allegedly authenticate the lithographs.
Actually this shouldn't be considered an "original" Dali litho as I am sure he didn't do anything as far as the production of it ,
including allowing the size changes or additional images added to the original "Persistence of Memory"
