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
On July, 3, 1863, the armies of the Union and the Confederacy were engaged in battle at Gettysburgh, PA. The strategic goal of the rebel forces was to push eastward in order to surround Washington, DC, and cut off the capital from the rest of the Union.
Major General George Pickett was in command of the Confederate forces attack against the center of the Union Army. The rebels crossed the field in this photo under fierce artillery fire and briefly overran the Union line, but were beaten back. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the Confederates were devastated and withdrew to the south.
This spot is known as the high water mark of the Confederacy. Never again would the North be so profoundly threatened by Southern forces. On the same day, the Union Army prevailed at Vicksburg, MS, far to the west, and the South was fully engaged on two fronts.

Spending time deep in the desert late at night is such a profound experience, the smell of sage and granite the light wind and the silence is deafening with no bugs or birds, nothing but wind. After spending a few days here I think that's why the Anasazi people chose this area to build their civilization. I hiked 3 miles of trail right along the base of the canyons and the sounds made, each different in tone and speed, speak to the traveler as he or she passes by, providing a fresh burst of cool air. This structure was erected in 1050 and has since survived the elements remarkably well.

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.

“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.”
~David duChemin, Ch. 13, The Problem With Muses; Notes on Everyday Creativity, 2020

Have you seen the film Being there with Peter Sellers? Watch it! Simple and profound comedy. It is one of those films that pop up in my mind from time to time. When I tried to do this image in black and white, it immediately took away from the sense of being there. And also, to me, it seems that something extraordinary is about to take place next in this image.
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.
I am entirely on the side of mystery. I mean, any attempt to explain away the mystery is ridiculous. I believe in the profound and unfathomable mystery of life which has a sort of divine quality about it.
Aldous Huxley
Jan Hus was a Czech church reformer executed in 1415. His teachings had a profound influence on the history of the Czech nation.
Jan Hus’s contribution to the development of the Czech literary language was the introduction of diacritical marks, such as: č, š, ř, ž, á, í, é. The purpose of this innovation was representing each sound by only one symbol and eleminating digraphs (sounds represented by two letters).
The inscription on the monument reads “Milujte se, pravdy každému přejte”, which means more or less: “Love one another, wish the truth to everyone”. This is a shortened version of a quote from one of Hus’s letters from prison. The day of his execution, July 6th, is a public holiday in Czechia (Jan Hus Day).
Kindness in word,create confidence.
Kindness in thinking,crate
profoundness.
Kindness in giving create love.
(Lao-Tze)
True love is a magical and profound experience that has captured the hearts of countless people throughout history. It's an emotion that transcends time, culture, and language, and can bring immense joy and happiness to those who experience it.

Black Bears are so fascinating to watch with their interesting individual personalities. A beautiful and too often misunderstood animal that is deserving of our profound respect. For one they help make our forests so beautiful with the way they fertilize the forests with the fish they eat.
""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.""

It might behoove me to say something profoundly profound about this photograph, something about being, being there and not being anywhere, about time being light, being nothing and everything being time, you, me, the mountains, the rivers and the sea, and all the blah blah blah. Instead…I wrote this drivel to check if you’re paying attention.
"I desired dragons with a profound desire. Of course, I in my timid body did not wish to have them in my neighborhood. But the world that contained even the imagination of Fáfnir [a dragon] was richer and more beautiful, at whatever the cost of peril."
- J.R.R. Tolkien, On Fairy-Stories
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...

“Yesterday, Day of Recollection, realized again above all my need for profound and total humility—especially in relation to any work I may do for peace. Humility is more important than zeal. Descent into nothingness and dependence on God. Otherwise I am just fighting the world with its own weapons, and there the world is unbeatable. Indeed, it does not even have to fight back: I will exhaust my self and that will be the end of my stupid efforts. To seek strength in God, especially in the Passion of Christ.”
“On the night watch, hurrying by, I pushed open the door of the novice’s scriptorium and flashed the light over all the empty desks. It was as if the empty room were wholly full of their hearts and their love, as if their goodness had made the place wholly good and rich with love. The loveliness of humanity, which God has taken to Himself in love, and the wonder of each individual person among them. This is of final and eternal significance. To have been appointed by God to be their Father, to have received them from God as my children, to have loved them and been loved by them with such simplicity and sincerity, without nonsense or flattery or sentimentality: this is completely wonderful and is a revelation...”
- Thomas Merton, The Intimate Merton (December 11,1961)
„All profound distraction opens certain doors. You have to allow yourself to be distracted when you are unable to concentrate.“

I took this photograph in New Jersey. A storm was forming, and I saw the face of the Devil in the clouds. I also could see where the rays of light are that there is a cross beside it. There is also a white dove flying towards the cross. It's interesting what one can see in the clouds if you take the time to examine them. I'm sure some dummy will think I used AI to produce this image or some sort of composite with Photoshop. But I didn't. This is 100% real. As you can see, the EXIF data it was taken with my phone. Processed with Snapseed. I also won't be making these little claims with every photo. I just want to let my following know that I will never use AI no matter how popular the trend becomes. The earth is mysterious enough. It doesn't need anything added to it. Go out there and look for the strangeness. I guarantee you'll encounter it sooner or later if you actually take the time to put in the effort to explore it. It's certainly more rewarding than sitting on a computer and typing in elements and objects to form an imaginary photo that doesn't exist. As you can see, I shot this with my cell phone. I didn't have my camera with me this day. Your best camera will always be what you have on hand. So go out there and shoot some real photos. Life is very interesting. Sitting on a computer having AI create images for you that isn't real isn't interesting and is dishonorable. Also, note that studies show too much sitting around increases your mortality rate.

The prayer of a soul at judgment
In ancient Egypt the jackal god Anubis led the soul into the halls of Maat (truth) where his or her heart would be weighed by the god Osiris against a feather.
It was important that you were not concerned with the trivia of life "I have not learnt the things that are not.."
To enter paradise you had to answer negatively to a list of transgressions that were different for every walk of life.
If your heart was light of sin you passed into the blissful Field of Reeds.
Should your heart not be found pure it would be thrown to the floor and devoured by Amut the gobbler. You would then cease to exist.
The ancient Egyptians were profoundly spiritual and their prayers (Egyptian Book of the Dead) read like poetic psalms and probably influenced the Biblical psalms.
Years ago we visited Egypt with my Dad but at the moment the Royal BC Museum is hosting an Egyptian exhibit.
You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by force. Pubilius Syrus
Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.
John Ruskin
Kindness is like snow- It beautifies everything it covers. Kahlil Gibran
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
Lao Tzu
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
The profound and the trivial; where I am coming from and where I am going to; those departed and those absent; the memories and the oblivion; all my spirits, good or bad; all are present for a moment in peaceful coexistence, under the Christmas tree, alone.
The silence is so beautiful and profound, you can hear the leaves gently touching the ground. After a spring and summer of providing the woods with what it needs to survive as an ecosystem, from the silent fungi to the nesting of the songbirds on their branches, trees are one of the most precious resources. Their work is done for the season now and a long winter's rest is ahead, before the cycle starts again with springs warm greeting.
