The Naming Of Cats by T. S. Eliot

 

«…

 

When you notice a cat in profound meditation,

The reason, I tell you, is always the same:

His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation

Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:

His ineffable effable

Effanineffable

Deep and inscrutable singular Name. »

  

«…

Si un gato ves en meditación,

el motivo nunca te asombre.

Su mente está en contemplación

de la Idea Una de su nombre.

Su inefable, efable,

efainefable,

único, oscuro, inescrutable Nombre. »

 

The Naming of Cats, de T. S. Eliot —traducción de R. Ortiz, en El libro de los gatos habilidosos del Viejo Possum—, un libro de poemas, dirigido al público infantil, donde los gatos se constituyen en reflejos de las tipologías humanas. Sobre este libro se basaría el musical Cats, y este es el fragmento final del poema que lo abre.

 

«…

 

Quand vous voyez un chat plongé dans ses « pensées »,

La raison, c’est bien simple, est sa quête insondable :

Il s’adonne en esprit au plaisir de songer

À l’image de l’idée de la pensée sans fond

De son nom ineffable, ineffable et affable,

Son indicible et profond et singulier Nom. »

 

Comment appeler son chat, d’après T.S. Eliot

a profound truth that humanity has since disregarded to its own detriment. Since the words "humility" and "humble" also derive from humus, it is rather ironic that we should have assigned our species so arrogant a name as Homo sapiens sapiens ("wise wise man") :-)

The awe-inspiring sight of a family of five majestic elephants in the stunning Maasai Mara National Reserve. This captivating photo captures the essence of the bond and harmony shared among these gentle giants, towering against the backdrop of the vast savannah. With their large, flapping ears and gracefully swaying trunks, they navigate the golden grasslands, creating a remarkable sight that embodies the harmony and strength of family bonds in the animal kingdom.

 

As you take in this mesmerizing scene, imagine the intricate social dynamics, the shared knowledge passed down through generations, and the profound sense of protection and love that unites these magnificent creatures. Let this extraordinary moment in Maasai Mara remind us of the importance of preserving and respecting the natural world, ensuring that future generations can witness the beauty and wonder of these incredible animals.

location : Nanzenji Temple Tenjyuan ,Kyoto city ,Kyoto Prefecture,Japan

南禅寺 天授庵

Tenjyuan :

 

Tenjyuan is one of the most historically important temple of the Nanzenji. It was built as a dedication of the founder of the Nanzenji , Daiminkokushi Mukanfumon .

In 1267 the Emperpor Kameyama,enchanted with the natural beauty of the spot,elected a villa on the site where where the Nanzenji Temple now stands. Around 1288 the emperor was vexed by the appearance of a ghost and asked for help from Daiminkokushi ,the third Chief Priest of the Tofukuji Temple.

The priest rid Emperor Kameyama of the gost by merely performing Zazen meditations without reciting a single sutra.

The emperor was deeply moved by this demonstration of the priest's virtue and subsequently became became his disciple,giving himself the name Hoo("Great Priest").He later converted his villa into zen temple and dedicated it to Daiminkokushi.These events took place in Hoo's later years ; the priest died before the coversation of the villa was complete.It was left for a priest named Kiansoen,the successor of Daiminkokushi.to finish the work and inaugurate the zen temple. For this reason little credit for the task is given to Daiminkokushi himself.In 1336 Kokakushiren,the 15th chief priest of Nanzen Ji Temple,asked the retired Emperor Kogon for permission to construct a building commemorating the founding of the temple by Daiminkokushi.Construction on the building was completed in the following year(1337),hence the opening of the Tenjyuan.

Tenjyuan,however ,was destroyed in the Nanzenji conflagration of 1447 .Nor was the temple spared destraction by fire during the Onin War ( 1467-1477). More then 130 years passed before the temple was finally reconstructed.

Many of the temples destroyed by wars were reconstructed in the last quarter of the 16th century,when Japan enjoyed a period of political stability. The priests of Nanzenji agreed that the Tenjyuan be reconstructed by one of the most famous Zen priests of Kyoto,Genporeisan.He appointed Ungakureikei chief priest of the Tenjyuan ,and asked the daimyo Hosokawa Yusei to finance the enterprise.Thanks to generous contribution of Hosokawa,the reconstruction of the Main Hall,the Main Gate,and the old study was completed in August ,1602.These are the Tenjyuan buildings that stand today.

The garden consists of the front ,or eastern,garden of the Main Hall, and the southern garden near the Study.

 

The eastern garden is a rock garden. A geometrically designed stone footpath embedded in white sand and moss connects the Main Hall with the Maingate. This footpath was made 1338 after the original construction of the Tenjyuan.

The other ,shorter stone footpath leading to Yusai's mausoleum was made after Yusai's death in1610.

 

The layout of the southern garden clearly illustrates the characteristics of late 14th century landscaping.The two central islands in particular epitomize this style. A long penninsula extending from the study and a smaller penninsula extending from the other side meet to form a curling clasp,creating an eastern and western pond.The shorelines of the two ponds so divided are thus varied.

The eastern pond is smaller than the other and has a slopping bank.In addition to this landscaping technique,the arrangement of rocks near the waterfall indicates that the garden was made around the time of the construction of the Tenjyuan in 1337.

A look back to September 1st 2021 and my favourite Lake District location. Those trees were just perfect and to lose one to Storm Arwen a month later affected me profoundly.

 

It's still a beaut of a location and suits Mr.Roadside-Location just fine:)

Nestled in the heart of Kashmir, the landscape unfolds like a masterpiece painted by nature itself. The majestic mountains rise sharply, their snow-capped peaks piercing the endless sky, a blend of soft blues and the first blush of dawn. The lake, a mirror to this breathtaking canvas, shimmers with the reflection of clouds The water, clear and still, captures every nuance of the surroundings, making it seem as though the mountains are suspended in time.

 

The air is crisp, carrying with it the faint scent of pine, the distant hum of life, and the profound silence of untouched beauty. As the sun climbs down the light dances on the surface of the lake, turning it into a pool of liquid gold. Every angle of this panoramic view speaks of serenity, of peace that stretches as far as the eye can see. It is a place where time stands still, where the spirit finds rest, and nature whispers its timeless secrets.

 

In this ethereal landscape, Kashmir reveals its soul, not just as a place, but as an experience—a dream woven into the very fabric of the earth. Every glance is a moment of awe, every breath a gift of purity.

  

Trekking in Kashmir valley is a completely different experience. You are exposed to scenic valleys, unique alpine meadows and magnificent turquoise (bluish-green colour) lakes. Tarsar Marsar trek is so beautiful, that it beats all treks in its beauty. From day one when you enter Aru, you feel as if in heaven. You are amidst, lush green pine forest, gushing Lidder River glittering in its milky colour and beautiful huts of the village. Throughout the trek, you are enthralled with such beauty. Not only this, in the later days of the trek the beauty climbs its peak when you are at the charming lakes. View of Tarsar Lake from the shores to far end leaves you awestruck. The lake looks so beautiful that you feel the world of sheer beauty. Even the view of Marsar lake from distance makes you feel as if looking at one of the wonders of this earth. Another lake which takes your heart on this trek is the Sundarsar lake. Viewing the lake from Marsar ridge with rugged mountains in the background and sunlight piercing through clouds is a magical experience.

 

I want to go again and again.......

“Everyday creativity is profoundly human in activity and scope. It’s gritty, soulful stuff. Or it can be. It can make us feel—and even be—more alive. There can be tremendous meaning in that. Meaning that transcends happiness. Meaning that’s found in the making itself, as we discover more about ourselves, our work, and the direction it’s leading.”

Windy village in spring

______________________

Montemarcello si trova su un'altura nel cuore del Monte Caprione, a dominio del golfo della Spezia e fa parte del circuito dei borghi più belli d'Italia.

Le sue origini sono dovute alla vittoria del console Marco Claudio Marcello nel 155 a.C. sui Liguri Apuani e da allora la struttura del paese ha conservato l’antica origine romana.

Le mura, di cui oggi restano solo alcuni tratti, lungo Via delle Mura fino all’antica porta d’entrata del paese, furono costruite nel 1485. Nel 1944 subì un bombardamento tedesco che portò alla creazione di piazza XIII Dicembre.

Nel borgo si trova la chiesa di San Pietro, del XV secolo, con un prezioso trittico del XVI secolo, profondamente ristrutturata in stile barocco nel XVII secolo.

Dal 1985 il paese è al centro del Parco Regionale di Montemarcello Magra, con il vicino Orto Botanico.

_______________________

Montemarcello is located on a hill in the heart of Monte Caprione, dominating the gulf of La Spezia and is part of the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy.

In 155 B.C. its origins are due to the victory of the consul Marco Claudio Marcello in 155 BC. on the Ligurian Apuan Alps and since then the structure of the town has kept its ancient Roman origins.

The walls, of which only a few sections remain today, along Via delle Mura up to the ancient entrance gate of the town, were built in 1485. In 1944 it underwent a German bombing which led to the creation of Piazza XIII December.

In the village there is the church of San Pietro, from the 15th century, with a precious triptych from the 16th century, profoundly restructured in Baroque style in the 17th century.

Since 1985, the town has been at the center of the Montemarcello Magra Regional Park, with the nearby Botanical Garden.

Primate DNA is only five percent different from ours. Like us, they feel jealousy, envy, love, shame, grief, depression... They are very social beings, they are sensitive and each one has a different personality, according to the experts, as happens in humans. They develop tools for specific purposes, which involves reasoning, anticipating the future and acting with the tool. They adopt orphans, which demonstrates social bonds, empathy and altruism. They have self-awareness, cooperative problem-solving and learning by example and experience, so they have symbolic capacity and a culture of their own, which they pass on from one generation to the next. Chimpanzees even surpass humans in certain memory tasks. An ape at the age of two is able to do small sums and use tools, while a two year old does not even know how to do sums or reason the why of the tool. They give pets to their children and they even learn words in sign language, being able to establish a conversation with their caregiver. They are able to teach their offspring sign language so that they can communicate with their caregivers. And so on. And they share a very important trait with humans, a trait not found in any other animal... laughter.

 

This image is dedicated to Bobby. Bobby was a chimpanzee used for decades as a laboratory animal at the Coulston Foundation in Alamogordo, New Mexico. He was born in captivity and at a very young age participated in biomedical experiments. By the age of 19, he had been anaesthetised more than 250 times and biopsied as many times. His life was spent in solitude inside a tiny metal cage. His body was bruised and scarred. In a deeply depressed state, he was incessantly self-harming, a clear sign that he intended to end his life. In 2002 he was transferred to Save the Chimps, a chimpanzee sanctuary in Louisiana, USA. Dedicated to Jeannie. Jeannie was in the service of science for nine years. At the age of six, she began her career in the pharmaceutical laboratories of Merck, Sharpe and Dohme. Shortly afterwards she was donated to the Buckshire Corporation and ended up at LEMSIP, Laboratory for Experimental Medicine and Surgery in Primates in New York at the age of 22. During that time she participated in several invasive experimental protocols including repeated vaginal douching, multiple cervical, liver and lymph node biopsies. She was infected with HIV and hepatitis C, and participated in rhinovirus vaccination protocols. She was anaesthetised more than 200 times. She died at the age of 31 at the Fauna Foundation, Canada's only primate sanctuary. Dedicated to Newt. Newt was born in 1979 at LEMSIP. At the age of four months he was sold to the Southwest National Primate Research Center in San Antonio, Texas. Newt was HIV-positive and was widely exposed to hepatitis B virus. Before he was four years old, he began intermittently self-harming. In 2003 he had his canines removed. Newt's clinical reports indicated that he had bites and lacerations on his hands, fingers, thighs, arms, legs, wrists and scrotum. A psychiatric report determined that Newt was in a profound state of insanity and derangement. He was attempting to commit suicide and end his life. This image is dedicated to all primates who have suffered psychological and physical torture, deprivation of liberty, abominable experiments and death in scientific laboratories, pharmaceutical, automobile, cosmetic, aeronautical, aerospace multinationals... and dedicated especially to Bobby, Jeannie and Newt.

We are the prehistory that will have the future. We are the remote annals of man. These years are the past of the sky. These years are a certain agility with which the sun draws you into the future. They are the truth or the end, they are god. We are left, those who can smile in the midst of death, in full light.

.....

PS: When I look into the eyes of an ape, all I see in them is sadness and eyes that ask me, why, why? And I can only lower my gaze to the ground, while I shed some tears and feel a deep shame... shame of being human... a "Homo stupidus".

Some of us, like me, take photos for the beauty of what we see in SL. Others make their beauty, some tell stories with their art or they have art with purpose.

 

scylla.rhiadra's art has meaning and purpose. Her photos tell a story , some of the stories are hard hitting , socially relevant and profound.

 

She uses darkness to help illuminate her story in a way that leaves me in awe. I did not experience her art till she bumped into me one day at 777 motors. I checked out a few of her exhibits at different galleries and was blown away with the topics she covered and shared with her arts in an SL gallery. I felt like I could have been at any modern museum , maybe in SoHo New York.

 

I was honored when she asked if I'd take a pic with her. Her version shows how much she understands the use of lighting and darkness to share her vision. I took a photo, she captured a moment.

The process of germination and growth of acorns offers profound insights into the very essence of life itself. From a tiny seed, a great tree may arise, representing the awe-inspiring potential for growth and transformation inherent in all living beings. The sprouting of the acorn into a seedling also highlights the delicate balance of environmental factors necessary for life to flourish, such as water, soil, and sunlight. Moreover, the process of growth can be seen as a reflection of the cyclical nature of existence, as the seedling transforms into a mature tree, which in turn produces its own acorns, perpetuating the cycle of life. Overall, the germination and growth of acorns offer a powerful reminder of the beauty and complexity of life and the interconnectedness of all things.

 

Strandarkirkja is a Lutheran (Church of Iceland) parish church in Selvogur, Iceland. It is often referred to as the 'miracle church' in Iceland, with the locals' longstanding belief that it has profound, divine powers.

Every photograph in order to be successful should convey a message to its viewer ... A message sometimes subtle and vague, while others strong and profound.

 

A frame with a latent underlying message is what we have here ... A photo that consists of two mutually contradictory both physically and symbolically elements that are nevertheless "condemned" by an act of fate to a harmonic, pleasant to the eye and not likely to easily come across elsewhere symbiosis ...

 

A stony, tiny in size underground blockhouse still stands in one piece against all odds .. A second world war remnant that still holds its "proud" figure intact ... This symbol that reminds us of man's insatiable, hostile and aggressive nature is being "attacked" this time by a fully blossomed almond tree that "decided" to become its long-term partner in life ...

 

A scene that bears a strong anti-war message, a truly optimistic scene .... Devoted to all of you who are fed up with the unbelievable ugliness that lurks around our lives lately ...

I will be taking a break from Flickr for a while to do some rethinking of my approach to creativity in general and photography in particular. My wish is to experience photography more profoundly and thus, to communicate, more intuitively perhaps, with my viewers. Lately, one of my pics was accepted to “Gallery 24” of the popular Croatian Blur Magazine (can be downloaded from here – Photo #20). And when I contrast the creativity and talent of other photographers seen in other issues to my own, I cannot help but come to the conclusion that I sill have much to learn from experience and experiencing, neither about creativity nor inspiration but of something out there in the field.

Ecclesiastes 7:24 “Whatever it is, it's far off and most profound. Who can attain it?”

e comunque e per fortuna nasce un nuovo giorno ...il cielo e i tetti di Parigi sono ancora lì...i Parigini "stracciati" dalla violenza riprenderanno le loro vite e piangeremo tutti quelle spezzate in questa notte di orrore folle, senza senso o che forse un senso ce l'ha ma rimane ancora incomprensibile...resta l'amaro in bocca sì, ma anche la stramaledetta voglia di dire basta alla violenza insensata...crediamo nel profondo senso di umanità che ci contraddistingue e adoperiamoci per spiccare il volo...un volo creativo e di speranza verso una vera libertà....Je suis Paris...

 

and in any case, and fortunately there is a new day ... the sky and the roofs of Paris are still there ... the Parisians "bargain" by the violence will resume their lives and mourn all those broken on this night of horror insane, senseless or a sense that maybe have it but still incomprehensible ... remains a bitter taste, yes, but also the damned desire to put a stop to the senseless violence ... we believe in the profound sense of humanity that distinguishes us, and work to stand out the flight ... a flight creative and hope towards real freedom .... Je suis Paris ...

(english follow)

Dans un phare quelque part sur la côte de Terre Neuve (Canada), le 8 novembre 1876

  

Ce matin là, le gardien du phare regardait le bateau de ravitaillement quitter une dernière fois avant l’hiver. Il sentait son coeur se déchirer comme la mer qui s’abattait avec force sur les contreforts rocheux du phare. Mais son réflexe de survie lui refusait obstinément l’abandon. Après tout se disait-il, il comptait parmi les rares privilégiés à comprendre le jeu incessant du brouillard et de la lumière... et le danger qu’il représentait pour les pêcheurs et les navires marchands. Alors, il but son thé en toute sérénité, sachant qu’il écrivait à chaque jour de solitude, une histoire profondément humaine. (Patrice)

---------------------

 

In a lighthouse somewhere on the coast of Newfoundland, November 8th, 1876...

 

That morning, the lighthouse keeper looked after the supply boat leaving for the last time before winter. He felt his heart tear apart like the sea that lashed forcefully on the rocky counterforts of the lighthouse, but his survival reflex stubbornly stopped him to surrender. After all, he said, he was among the few privileged to understand the continuous game of fog and light . . . the danger that it posed for the fishermen and the commercial boats.

So he calmly drunk his tea, knowing that he was writing with each day of solitude, a profoundly human story.

""Bells hold profound meaning in Buddhism as well. They often represent enlightenment and are used in rituals and meditation practices. The sound of a Buddhist bell signifies the presence of the sacred and encourages mindfulness among practitioners. Bells, such as the large temple bells found in many monasteries, symbolize the voice of Buddha, expressing teachings and guiding individuals on their spiritual journey. The clear ringing sound also serves to focus the mind during meditation, cultivating peace and awareness.""

Tower of the Abbey Church, surrounded by art.

 

Part of a 10 m high spiral staircase in oak from Gauthier Oushoorn (Belgian artist).

 

He has a profound interest in the definition of space. Architecture is his recurring frame of reference, while his training in craftsmanship acts both as a tool and an obstruction. Through sculptural means he explores the elements for creating space, which he simultaneously uses as a functional tool for the realized work.

 

The stairs obey to mathematical laws which replace the ego of the artist, as in Islamic art.

Bathed in soft, ethereal light, this photograph captures a quiet moment of devotion inside an Orthodox Church in Tbilisi, Georgia. The intricate frescoes, golden icons, and graceful arches speak of deep-rooted tradition and sacred artistry. A lone worshipper stands in prayer, adding a human connection to the spiritual ambience. The interplay of light and shadow brings a serene solemnity to the scene, reflecting the profound sense of peace and reverence that fills this timeless sanctuary.

Where one can discover the illuminated splendor of Lahore Fort and Huzoori Bagh with the History by Night tour by the Walled City of Lahore Authority. Where history dances under the stars.

 

An enchanting and mesmerizing tour to Mughal era, like traveling in a time machine to the court of Emperor Akbar where a captivating saga of grandeur and magnificence unfolded. Renowned for their refined tastes and opulent lifestyles, the Mughal emperors orchestrated nightly spectacles that went far beyond the ordinary, embracing the extraordinary with unparalleled finesse. For the Mughals, the shroud of darkness wasn’t merely an absence of light; it served as a canvas upon which they painted a vibrant tapestry of extravagant entertainment, a testament to their sophisticated sensibilities and profound love for the arts. Immersed in a rich fusion of art, music, dance, and culinary brilliance, these imperial evenings not only dispelled the shadows but also left an enduring imprint on the pages of history.

This makes me profoundly sad, I remember businesses waiting for shops to become vacant here. The worst of it is this is far from the only set of shops closed in this high street.

... the profound take, for 28 Jan 2023 Happy Caturday theme, "My Cat is..."

I've recently watched an interview with Salvador Dali where he was stating that all his artwork are based on his dreams coming to him 10 minutes before he was fully asleep.

 

Dali learned over time to take control of his lucid dream state and with that, he mastered accessing his subconscious and used what he had found in his act of creating. Of course, the way he materialized what he found is truly amazing as well, in any ways, all his artwork are now fascinating manifestations of one man's creative mind, ideas and experiences, for all of us to see and wonder about.

 

This all made me think, this 10 minutes time period of lucid dream state, mystical space before we all are fully gone somewhere else; I cannot help noticing a parallel notion happening in the way nature behaves just before it awakes or falls asleep; the most unexpected, wonderous and profound events, colours, particles, sensations are seem to manifest themselves in those couple of minutes of lucid dream states of nature, just before it all settles again.

One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Star".

 

This week we would like to pay tribute to Hans (flic.kr/ps/2bpyNi) and his wonderful macro photography by posting one of his past themes.

Hans gave us many great themes over the years and it was hard for us to choose. We have decided on the theme Star . Chosen because he was a person who had a profound influence on others and was a source of inspiration. Indeed, he was a Star.

song: Christian Scott - Perspectives

Music can have a profound effect on both the emotions and the body. Faster music can make you feel more alert and concentrate better. Upbeat music can make you feel more optimistic and positive about life. A slower tempo can quiet your mind and relax your muscles, making you feel soothed while releasing the stress of the day. Music is effective for relaxation and stress management.

 

The tiny little helpers from little world need a break to relax from time to time as well :)

 

At the end is up to yourself and mostly gets dircted by the mood we are in at the moment. If you feel that you would like to relax and refresh youself - you might give this a try...
