Ogni giorno è diverso dall’altro, ogni alba porta con sè il suo speciale miracolo, il suo istante magico, in cui si distruggono gli universi passati e nascono nuove stelle. I Navajo,infatti, insegnano ai loro bambini che ogni mattina il sole che sorge e’ un sole nuovo. Nasce ogni giorno, vive solo per quel giorno, muore alla sera e non ritornera’ piu’. Dicono ai loro piccoli: Il sole ha solo questo giorno, un giorno. Vivi bene la tua vita in modo che il sole non abbia sprecato il suo tempo prezioso.

Un poème Paul Eluard :

Je te l’ai dit pour les nuages

Je te l’ai dit pour l’arbre de la mer

Pour chaque vague pour les oiseaux dans les feuilles

Pour les cailloux du bruit

Pour les mains familières

Pour l’œil qui devient visage ou paysage

Et le sommeil lui rend le ciel de sa couleur

Pour toute la nuit bue

Pour la grille des routes

Pour la fenêtre ouverte pour un front découvert

Je te l’ai dit pour tes pensées pour tes paroles

Toute caresse toute confiance se survivent.

Love Poem is a macro photograph of an anthurium.

" I was born on the holy ground,

Running wild and free,

Across wide meadows by the stream,

Between the mountains and the sea,

 

I grew up there in boyhood days,

Filled with sights and sounds,

My roots run deep here in the clay,

Upon this hallowed ground,

 

Our children came in the early years,

They ran wild but not so free,

For the meadows gone and the stream lies still,

Between the mountains and the sea,

 

Now I am old and not so wise.

As I am supposed to be,

And the nights draw in and the wind blows cold,

Between the mountains and the sea,

 

I was born on this holy ground.

And once ran wild and free,

Across wild meadows by the stream,

Between the mountains and the sea "

Poem

From the short and intense evening,

your light seeps into my face,

the smell of your hair is strong

like the smell of the sea

Love Poem 2 is a macro photograph of an anthurium.

Enjoy your weekend!

Mediodía con sol,

redondo y sin final como el deseo.

Cuerpo y roca o sopor que los omite.

Soledad absoluta y el silencio

tan especial del mundo cuando calla.

Ausencia y plenitud.

Estancias y retornos.

Existir:

luz ya que en mí confluye. Sobrevivo.

Sint Nicholaskerk is the most seen and at the same time overlooked church in Amsterdam as well as being one its most recent constructions, no one can miss this iconic structure upon arrival to the city walking from Centraal Station your eye is immediately drawn to it at 58 m in height it towers over the city skyline.

 

This Roman Catholic Church was designed by Architect Adrianus Bleijs and is a nod to the past combining elements of neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance styles, completed in 1887 it was made a minor Basilica in 2012.

 

The church is dedicated to the 4th century charitable patron saint of children that became our Santa Claus as well as the patron saint of sailors and prostitutes, another winning combination.

 

In the Netherlands Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas and a feast has been celebrated for over 700 years in his name and adopted in the early part of 20th century the tradition of leaving small gifts in children’s shoes was practiced on Dec 6th which has evolved now to become a Dec 5th evening tradition of gathering of family and friends to exchange gifts and laughter.

 

While Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations are mainly for the children its adult component is an annual grievance poem written to the recipient that must rhyme and be read out loud by the subject at the evening party all in good fun but beware you may get as good as you give.

 

I took this on Sept 10th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 58mm 15 sec f/16 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

La sede della preveggenza nell'arte astratta risiede nell'anima dell'artista, nel suo universo interiore di emozioni, intuizioni e spiritualità, da cui scaturisce la necessità di liberare una "verità più profonda" che va oltre la realtà visibile, usando forme e colori puri per comunicare concetti e stati d'animo, come sosteneva Kandinskij, pioniere di questa ricerca di una dimensione "interiore" dell'arte.

In sintesi, la preveggenza nell'arte astratta non è predizione del futuro, ma la capacità dell'artista di percepire e comunicare l'essenza nascosta delle cose, attingendo a un livello di conoscenza intuitivo e spirituale, rendendo l'opera un ponte tra il mondo interiore e la percezione dello spettatore.

Time, just a bodily experience;

With the change of times...

Events unwarranted , undesirable

Mere glimpses as it appears,

Of ever-changing substance...

 

The viewer and the view

Change like a flicker

Every perception an illusion

Every perceiver the same

 

Certain is the state

Before birth and after death

Uncertain is the state

In between birth and death

 

Look at those changes

Like an entertainment

Scenes changing in a play

Queer, and a source of enjoyment

 

Open the inner eyes

Awaken the Soul

You are neither body nor a living being

Your power knows no bounds.

Why is it we call what we do "mistakes"

And to grow from them is a must.

Yet others we call liars, cheats and fakes

Who have surely broken our trust.

 

For all of you who "allegedly" did me wrong:

I am sorry I doubted you (it shouldn't have taken this long).

On the pillars is a poem couplet written by Yu Da Fu, aptly describing Haw Par Villa then.

 

In the quietness of the hills amidst the rolling white clouds

 

There stand a bright glorious house like blossoming flower petals

 

You can see the vast and clear blue ocean

 

And grazes into the and ripples of the sea waves in the far horizon

Every morning

the world

is created.

Under the orange

 

sticks of the sun

the heaped

ashes of the night

turn into leaves again

 

and fasten themselves to the high branches–

and the ponds appear

like black cloth

on which are painted islands

 

of summer lilies.

If it is your nature

to be happy

you will swim away along the soft trails

 

for hours, your imagination

alighting everywhere.

And if your spirit

carries within it

 

the thorn

that is heavier than lead–

if it’s all you can do

to keep on trudging–

 

there is still

somewhere deep within you

a beast shouting that the earth

is exactly what it wanted–

 

each pond with its blazing lilies

is a prayer heard and answered

lavishly,

every morning,

 

whether or not

you have ever dared to be happy,

whether or not

you have ever dared to pray.

Happy Caturday 11.1.2020 "Poem"

 

Nik Silver efex pro 2

 

A poem from Mr. Goethe:

 

Zum Fressen geboren, zum Kraulen bestellt

in Schlummer verloren gefällt mir die Welt.

Ich schnurr' auf dem Schoße, ich ruhe im Bett

in lieblicher Pose, ob schlank oder fett.

 

So gelte ich allen als göttliches Tier, sie stammeln

und lallen und huldigen mir, liebkosen mir

glücklich den Bauch, Öhrchen und Tatz

ich wählte es wieder, das Leben der Katz.

 

translated by deepl.com:

 

Born to eat, ordered to crawl

lost in slumber I like the world.

I purr on your lap, I rest in bed

in a lovely pose, whether slim or fat.

 

So I am considered to all as a divine animal, they stammer

and slur and worship me, caress me

happy belly, ears and paw

I chose it again, the life of a cat.

 

Happy Caturday! :-)

Lies waiting a spark, to invigorate a flame

A spark pervasive, in darkness always

Every atom advancing, perpetual in ethereal waves

Every Sun an atom and every atom a sun

Though candles are different, with same fire they burn

Like atoms of life of vain personalities

Every living being, deriving motivating force

From the living ocean of power, the unlimited source

All bodies are mine, one and same consciousness pervading

'Beyond' is just what the senses can't perceive

This is my favourite poem by Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff:

Schläft ein Lied in allen Dingen, die da träumen fort und fort, Und die Welt fängt an zu singen, Triffst du nur das Zauberwort

This is my TRANSLATION:

There sleeps a song in all things that are dreaming on and on, and the world starts singing when you only find the magic word.

This first edition of the poems of Nathan Lanesford Foster was printed and bound in 1841 in the print shop in Philadelphia where my great-great-great grandfather worked at the time.

 

For those of you who know Philly: the print shop was located in what is now the 'Old City' section of Philadelphia, near the Betsy Ross House and Independence Hall.

 

More modern editions of this volume are available at select booksellers:

HMM!

Ah vastness of pines, murmur of waves breaking,

slow play of lights, solitary bell,

twilight falling in your eyes, baby doll,

snail of the earth, in you the earth sings!

 

In you the rivers sing, and my soul in them flees

as you desire it, and you send it where you will.

Mark for me my road on your brows of hope

and I in my delirium will release the flock of arrows.

 

Around me I see your waist of fog

and your silence accosts my troubled hours,

and you are with your transparent arms of stones

where my kisses anchor and my damp desire nests.

 

Ah your mysterious voice that love colors and tolls

in the resonant and dying evening!

Thus in deep hours over the fields I have seen

the ears of wheat tolling in the mouth of the wind.

 

Pablo Neruda

In darkness let me dwell; the ground shall sorrow be,

The roof despair, to bar all cheerful light from me;

The walls of marble black, that moist'ned still shall weep;

My music, hellish jarring sounds, to banish friendly sleep.

Thus, wedded to my woes, and bedded in my tomb,

O let me living die, till death doth come, till death doth come.

 

My dainties grief shall be, and tears my poisoned wine,

My sighs the air through which my panting heart shall pine,

My robes my mind shall suit exceeding blackest night,

My study shall be tragic thoughts sad fancy to delight,

Pale ghosts and frightful shades shall my acquaintance be:

O thus, my hapless joy, I haste to thee.

It is a morning full of storms

in the heart of summer.

 

The clouds travel like white handkerchiefs bidding farewell,

the wind shakes them with its wandering hands.

 

Innumberable heart of the wind

beating upon our loving silence.

 

Buzzing amongst the trees, orquestral and divine,

like a language full of wars and songs.

 

A wind that swiftly steals away the fallen leaves

and deflects the beating arrows of the birds.

 

A wind that strikes her down in a foamless wave

and weightless substance, and fires bowing down.

 

It breaks and submerges its volume of kisses

fought at the gate of the summer wind.

Wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim'rous beastie!

 

This is the first line from a poem written in 1785 by the Scottish poet Robbie Burns. Although the title of the poem is To a Mouse (apparently written in sorrow having accidentally destroyed the home of a mouse while ploughing in his field), much of the poem could be applied to a wee snail!

 

For Macro Mondays theme 'Book'. This wee book is a collection of poems by Robbie Burns, dating from 1913. You might wonder why I would put a snail on such an antique book, but the cover was easily wiped off and care was taken to not allow the snail to come into contact with the thin, delicate pages.

 

No snails were ploughed or otherwise harmed in the making of this photograph.

my dreams are filled with

abandoned places and

closed doors

and

realms that can't be explained in the real world.

and often,

I am curled up into a ball while Lewis screams in the background,

and still,

the echo of silence

reverberates off the walls

until I find an open door-

and ignore it.

“Gardens are poems

Where you stroll with your hands in your pockets.

  

(Les jardins sont des poemes

Ou l'on se promene les mains dans les poches.)”

― Pierre Albert-Birot

Another Sunday, another poem. First the English Translation, then the German original. Have a wonderful day!

 

Mist Over the River

 

The river drifts so still, so mild,

and carries dreams where they’ve been filed.

Tell me, what will lie ahead?

Words the wind has softly shed.

 

A silver mist wraps all around,

it makes the distant small, profound.

And though no eye can clearly see,

the current whispers: “Go on, be free…”

 

Each wave speaks gently, calm and true:

Each morning grants a power new.

And in the haze, the heart still knows:

The river softly, quietly flows.

 

Here the Original:

 

Nebel über dem Fluss

 

Der Fluss zieht still und sanft dahin,

und trägt die Träume fort darin.

Sag mir, was wird vor uns liegen?

Worte, die im Wind verfliegen.

 

Ein Silbernebel hüllt uns ein,

er macht das Ferne sanft und klein.

Denn auch wenn keiner klar es sieht,

der Strom uns flüstert: "Geht weiter, zieht..."

 

Jede Welle sagt uns sacht:

Jeder Morgen schenkt neue Macht.

Und in dem Dunst das Herz noch weiß:

Der Fluss fließt still, der Fluss fließt leis.

The River - Bruce Springsteen

The poetically lovely dahlias are holding court in the gardens now. Marvels of symmetry, shapes and colors they brave the cold evenings to bask in the warm October sun.

 

And this, October 27th, 2014, would have been Dylan Thomas's 100th birthday.

 

"Poem in October" read by the poet: [www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnoHCSU5yn8}.

 

Have a wonderful week, everyone! :)

Leaning into the afternoons I cast my sad nets

towards your oceanic eyes.

 

There in the highest blaze my solitude lengthens and flames,

its arms turning like a drowning man's.

 

I send out red signals across your absent eyes

that move like the sea near a lighthouse.

 

You keep only darkness, my distant female,

from your regard sometimes the coast of dread emerges.

 

Leaning into the afternoons I fling my sad nets

to that sea that beats on your marine eyes.

 

The birds of night peck at the first stars

that flash like my soul when I love you.

 

The night gallops on its shadowy mare

shedding blue tassels over the land.

 

Pablo Neruda

"I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree"

This picture only needs a few lines of poem as a companion.

Here I am with you dear, no yesterday nor tomorrow

Hold on to my hand, close your eyes, see the glow

No stranger am I, or you, to this land

Got this birth, deputed, not for own lots to mend

 

See the green boughs stirred, by the gentle wind

Free the flowers dance, merrily they unwind

From interlocking leaves, by themselves, their own will

Never solitary you are here, why fear this lovely place

 

What is part of you, is part of everything around

See that part of whole, and the whole this Existence

The fire is always same, whatever makes it burn

Never does the light perish, nowhere does it go

Poems Of The Atoms — Armand Amar

 

youtu.be/si6rLeYU5BQ?si=o3z_wtnXWcnESZeV

  

O day, arise! The atoms are dancing.

The souls are dancing, overcome with ecstasy.

I'll whisper in your ear where their dance is taking them.

All the atoms in the air and in the desert know well, they seem insane.

Every single atom, happy or miserable,

Becomes enamoured of the sun, of which nothing can be said.

for everyone who has lost someone that they care about i have written this hope you like it. jean
