Today, the third Thursday in November, World Philosophy Day is celebrated. I will wear the same shirt in RL with the image of Betrand Russell. The pic is taken in the Library of Alexandria, where Hypatia researched, wrote and taught her classes.
SAPERE AUDE!
....or you are always with me...

Tracks vanishing in the mist have a strange symbolism. Like to never take a train to some other world as master Miyazaki had portayed. The train would be full of spooky strangers anyway. Only ghosts could travel to such a mist. And yet, the hope lingers. Or is it a fear of that actually happening one day? To fly away or to become a ghost, there is no difference...
As every year, on the third Thursday of November, we celebrate World Philosophy Day. We are few philosophers and not very well known, but our activity of reflection and teaching of this wonderful discipline is increasingly important in these complicated times we live in.
I personally teach philosophy to young people and it is the most exciting activity I have ever done.
Socrates, Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Kant are the great minds that will help us to understand ourselves. Sapere Aude!
Happy World Philosophy Day
“Just because you pretend the universe doesn't have teeth doesn't mean you won't get eaten in the end.”
― Paul Russell, The Coming Storm
Paul Russell is a professor in philosophy at Lund University, where he is Director of the Lund/Gothenburg Responsibility Project [LGRP]. Paul Russell is also a professor in philosophy at the University of British Columbia, where he has been teaching since 1987.
We spent some days in Kyoto, Japan. Timing was perfect for Hanami, or cherry blossom viewing. We took a taxi to the philosopher's path (哲学の道) at dawn, a canal that has plenty of Sakura trees. You can see the reflection of photographers standing on a bridge.
I processed a balanced, a photographic and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Numbers are significant in the Buddhist tradition. These three little statues were found in a garden at Lindisfarne, Tasmania. In Mahayana Buddhist philosophy “a bodhisattva is an ordinary person who takes up a course in his or her life that moves in the direction of Buddha. You and I, actually, anyone who directs their attention, their life, to practicing the way of life of a Buddha is a bodhisattva.” tricycle.org/magazine/what-bodhisattva/
In Buddhist philosophy (remember I am not talking about religion here, so this applies equally as well to non-Buddhists) all of life is interconnected. There is a “Buddha nature” (Buddha Dhatu) that pervades all existence. The English Christian theologian and poet John Donne (1572-1631) understood this as well when he wrote that, “No man is an island”. The way of interdependence is the way of compassion, of feeling for the needs of others, the way a true adult will feel, regardless of religion. So in a sense the desire to be a Bodhisattva is a way of growing up.
As Kosho Uchiyama defines it, “The life that flows through each of us and through everything around us is actually all connected. To say that, of course, means that who I really am cannot be separated from all the things that surround me. Or, to put it another way, all sentient beings have their existence and live within my life. So needless to say, that includes even the fate of all mankind—that, too, lies within me. Therefore, just how mankind might truly live out its life becomes what I aim at as my direction. This aiming or living while moving in a certain direction is what is meant by vow."
"In other words, it is the motivation for living that is different for a bodhisattva. Ordinary people live thinking only about their own personal, narrow circumstances connected with their desires. In contrast to that, a bodhisattva, though undeniably still an ordinary human being like everyone else, lives by vow. Because of that, the significance of his or her life is not the same. For us as bodhisattvas, all aspects of life, including the fate of humanity itself, live within us. It is with this in mind that we work to discover and manifest the most vital and alive posture that we can take in living out our life.” tricycle.org/magazine/what-bodhisattva/
It’s a wonderful outlook on life.
Oh yeah, it's that stink bug again.... we were chatting for a while a few days ago... and no matter how small the little rascal was, it felt like it was constantly looking down on me.... well, not as a person then but as a human being... as a representative of the idiocy of evolution.. and/or the creator's bizarre humor... and once again it felt like we need to do more to care for our dear planet, our mother Gaia... and it feels like we're on the right track.. NOT!!
Think about how strangely unexpected encounters can make thoughts fly.... Show less
I always wonder why birds stay in the same place
When they can fly anywhere on the earth
Then I ask myself the same question
I wish you a colorful weekend, my friends!
Salvation Mountain is a hillside visionary environment created by local resident Leonard Knight (1931–2014) in the California Desert area of Imperial County, north of Calipatria, northeast of Niland, near the Slab City squatter/art commune, and several miles from the Salton Sea.
The artwork is made of adobe bricks, discarded tires and windows, automobile parts and thousands of gallons of paint. It encompasses numerous murals and areas painted with Christian sayings and Bible verses, though its philosophy was built around the Sinner's Prayer.
Kunstwerk - Salvation Mountain, Südkalifornien
Salvation Mountain ist eine visionäre Umgebung in Hanglage, die von Leonard Knight (1931–2014) aus der Region im kalifornischen Wüstengebiet des Imperial County nördlich von Calipatria, nordöstlich von Niland, in der Nähe der Slab City Squatter / Art Commune und mehrere Meilen entfernt des Salton Seas geschaffen wurde.
Das Kunstwerk besteht aus Lehmziegeln, weggeworfenen Reifen und Fenstern, Autoteilen und Tausenden von Gallonen Farbe. Es umfasst zahlreiche Wandgemälde und Bereiche, die mit christlichen Sprüchen und Bibelversen bemalt sind, obwohl seine Philosophie auf dem Sündergebet basiert.

My entire philosophy when it comes to railroad photography, is that I strive to shoot both the old and the new, pretty and ugly. As I’ve spent more and more time in this hobby, I’ve watched as things change and evolve. Older power slips off the Class Is and Shortlines get the scraps. Every shot, to me, is a record of what once was, what still is, and what will be. While I’m not too big of a fan of the paint scheme given to this unit, knowing it was leading its first ever train with this livery, I decided to drive the five hours out here and chase. I might not like how it looks, but in twenty years when this thing is rotting away in a scrapyard, I can proudly tell people I was the first person to shoot it in daylight.

seeing with the eyes of the other,
to hear with the ears of the other,
to feel with the heart of the other."

Thomas Monds (1829-1916) was the son of a convict who bought the mill at Carrick in 1867, and then in 1908 built this milling plant in Launceston. Immigrant Thomas Affleck (1837-1898), established mills in Perth (Tasmania) and Longford. After their deaths, their sons amalgamated the companies to form Monds and Affleck for the production of flour. In 1995 the company was sold and renamed the Tasmanian Flour Mills.

It is interesting to compare this painted photograph with the cyanotype of the scene I posted yesterday. The aim here (especially with the sky) is to produce that vintage postcard look.
Until the philosophy, I will like to divide it with those which want to learn...
Which hold one race
Superior and another, inferior
Is finally, and permanently
Discredited and abandonned
Everywhere is war
Me say war

#1 Believe and it shall be yours.
#2 Where there is hope there can be faith. Where there is faith, miracles can occur.
#3 Hope is desperation. Faith is relaxation.
#4 May we grow beautiful as we grow wise.
#5 The one great thing about life is laughter
#6 How you climb up the mountain is just as important as how you get down the mountain. And, so it is with life, which for many of us becomes one big gigantic test followed by one big gigantic lesson. In the end, it all comes down to one word. grace. It's how you accept winning and losing, good luck and bad luck, the darkness and the light.
#7 One of the best tools for longevity and good health is not just taking a walk outdoors, but taking your walk while holding the hand of God. When we walk in gratitude for each and every moment, we empower ourselves by empowering our spirits. When we breathe in nature through our eyes, ears and lips, we become certain that not only are our souls eternal, but that God knows how to manage our lives, our troubles, our worries and our days better than we do. So today and everyday "let go and let God".
