Whenever I visit our home in the village the boys come over especially to enquire about the parts of the camera & the tripod. Their questioning is never ending, which I enjoy thoroughly. I make them take photos too if a couple of them are interested. Here, I asked them what is friendship & they put their hands on each other’s shoulders, however I tried to made them laugh a bit to bring some fluidity to the image.

5395. A Naval Board of Inquiry was convened to determine the cause of the accident and several people on duty that night gave their version of the event to the Board but it was the pilot [eds: SubLt Brian A. Dutch] who naturally underwent the most questioning and his version is the best account of what actually happened. He informed the Board that on returning from the first detail of the night the conditions in the circuit were slightly turbulent but didn’t worry him at all. The detail as awhole was successful and the landing uneventful. After refueling we took off for the second detail in the same aircraft. But because the radar was unserviceable this time we returned to change aircraft. We experienced very severe wind gusts in the circuit area this time. On one occasion the weather sent us down 200 feet and then up 400 feet in a very short time. It was not a very nice night. Within half an hour we had changed aircraft and were airborne
again. Shortly after take off Brian had trouble with his oxygen equipment. We stayed low until he sorted out the problem. Fortunately this was not long and we were soon chasing our target [a Vampire flown by Lieutenant Rolley Waddell-Wood] all over the sky for a successful mission. Now it was time to return to base and have a couple of beers to celebrate the completion of
yet another night fighter course. Below 3,000 feet near NOWRA the turbulence started again. In the circuit area the pilot was doing those meaningful little things that a pilot does when
coming into land. As I said earlier, I had considerable confidence in Brian’s ability as a pilot and I was not concerned in the circuit — after all, there was nothing I could do; flying the aircraft was his part of [the] ship! On the run upwind at 900 feet the turbulence was again quite severe.
In fact we gained 100 feet on the turn downwind and this was not caused by bad flying. The airspeed at this time was around 250 knots decreasing to wheels down speed of 210 knots. I did my usual pre-landing checks; there weren’t many but because of the turbulence my navigation bag down by my right leg was bouncing around. I bent down to secure it. While I was doing that I felt the bang. I bolted upright! The windscreen was opaque. My radar was on my lap – I pushed it back. Fortunately it stuck in its cradle otherwise it ejected with me or I left my legs behind at the kneecaps. I switched on my microphone and shouted BIRDSTRIKE, EJECT,
EJECT!!
Naturally in a situation like this nothing works as it should. Of course the intercom was U/S. It says volumes for my power of command that the pilot heard me and responded in the only way possible — by ejecting the canopy. Normally it was the Observers job to do that little chore but these were not “normal” times. I don’t know where Brian got the extra hand from to release the canopy but he did it. After all at that time he had the control column back in his stomach getting
height and the throttle full on getting power. I suppose it comes back to that old adage “If you want something done in a hurry — ask a busy man.” As soon as the canopy went, I went! No
good hanging around at that time.

Where The Journey Begins
© 2026 Kurosawa Michiyo
Stonehenge has a long, partly mythical history associated with solstice celebrations, and many experts still do not fully explain how or why it was built. Among these gatherings, the summer solstice remains one of the most well-known celebrations at the site.
Testimony
This journey begins with exploration and evangelism.
In 2012, before social media widely helped share cultural and heritage practices, some individuals criticised the summer solstice celebration at Stonehenge as being “just for hippies” and “weirdos.” They described it as inappropriate, particularly due to accounts of people running around in the nude, followed by arrests carried out by on-site police. My response to those who discouraged travellers from visiting Stonehenge during the summer solstice was, ‘I do not believe being or not being a hippy justifies not exploring and travelling to different sites.’ I remember friends telling me they were concerned that being labelled a “hippie” would create a negative impression and discourage people from stepping outside rigid social expectations.
I believe our current generation started to practice the notion of internationalism, questioning traditional and stereotypical ideas that exclude, isolate, or filter out other perspectives out of fear of the labelling effect, criticism, stepping beyond discomfort, being or thinking differently and challenging the fixation of “outside the box” about what the cultural and social norms interpret in our lives.
There were only a couple of hundred people who visited the sites. They brought a subcultural instrument to appreciate nature. These individuals were open-minded and showed a warm welcome to their beliefs, contradicting the criticism of them being weird and not following the robotic social patterns of ordinariness. I witnessed individuals painting their bodies with glowing paints on their nude bodies and circulating the site before the police had to remove them. There was space to walk around to explore the stones and stand on the stone as one wished to see the sunrise between people. It was a small festival that the ‘ordinary’ would not want to attend.
One would choose to stay in the restricted zone area of the site away from the stone till it was opened for the ticketed visit surrounding the site only. I was able to assist the volunteers and staff to clean up the trash after the festival alongside the visitors. The entire visit was beautiful and peaceful.
Returning to Stonehenge for the second time in 2026, I witnessed the positive effect of social media that brought Stonehenge to different audiences and broke down stereotypes, which encouraged people from diverse backgrounds to explore the beauty of historical sites and heritage practices across the world. At Stonehenge, the summer solstice celebration connects with a wide range of spiritual traditions. People dress in diverse ways, and some bring instruments to play subcultural music. The event also attracts individuals from different backgrounds and spiritual beliefs, united—at least in part—by their wonder at the meaning of what Stonehenge represents to the ancestors who built it. There were so many people at the site, completely packed, competing for a spot just to witness the beauty of a summery sunrise.
There was intensified security after years of disorder/ criminal damage, as well as the dramatically incrase of visitors, forcing the escalation of enforcement of security and safety. We were also forced to leave the sites by guards without the opportunity to stay longer than usual to assist in cleaning up the site.
Before becoming a follower of Jesus Christ in 2018, I also sought positivity through various spiritual practices. I felt that something essential was missing within me, and I tried practices intended to “cleanse” negativity—such as incense, white sage, and palo santo. Many who use these rituals believe in confronting darkness and evil with a positive intention: to bring light, joy, and peace. They view these practices as distinct from harmful “cursing,” or efforts to bring misfortune upon others.
I was part of that search. I continued to look for ways to remove negativity and rebuke darkness. I used tarot cards, and I believed certain symbols indicated demonic influences—something I believed could not be used safely without inviting spiritual danger. I was still questioning God as I explored these ideas more deeply. I sought out angel cards to better understand Heaven and what angels might mean, and I practised with white sage incense and crystals. I remember feeling a warmth associated with those angel cards, and it led me to ask: if angels are real, then the Creator behind them must also be real.
So I ordered an English Standard Version Holy Bible from Amazon. When it arrived, I opened it to a random page—and I felt an immediate warmth at the centre of my heart. My fear, worries, and anxiety lifted at once. I had not fully understood what the Bible said in detail, but what I “knew in my heart” was that this book felt real, powerful, and unmistakably different from anything else I had tried. Even opening it seemed to rebuke darkness instantly, without me needing to study a single passage.
That same night, I dreamed a completely white dream. I saw a crowd of people—so bright that I could only make out the shapes of their bodies. They stood around another human-shaped figure, also intensely bright, with only the outline of His form visible. He was preaching to the crowd. Then, suddenly, his very bright face turned to his right, and although I couldn’t see clearly, I knew he was looking at me. When I woke, I understood that I had seen God, and had been describing them, ‘the very bright people’. I did not yet know anything about who Jesus Christ was, but I knew I had seen heaven. I did not know anything about the book called the Holy Bible, but I knew to my heart that as long as this book is with me, I was safe and I wouldn’t have to worry about anything anymore. I relied on the book and brought it everywhere with me agaisnt darkness.
Later, I compared the methods I had used to “rebuke negativity.” In my personal experience, white sage might remove negative energy while it burns, but the negativity returns once the incense stops. Palo santo seemed to restore spiritual abundance temporarily. I never fully understood the purpose of crystals, but I appreciated their beauty and connected them with nature and creation. The cards are too limited, with only a few explanations when Jesus Christ shows me both the past, the present, and future events altogether beyond a few cards, but of all-knowing at the scope of the world and beyond. Compared to the Holy Bible, these methods did not bring the same lasting sense of peace, freedom, love and the complete shield from darkness and deceptions. With Jesus and the Holy Bible, the rebuke of all darkness and restoration of the fruit of the Spirit is completed. He is the only way for a complete and eternal abundance compared to the temporary methods.
I threw away the cards and stored the incense to embrace the Holy Bible and Jesus Christ daily. I can pray to a God who orders and moves His angel servants. Why do I need to understand His servants when human beings hold more authority in Jesus’ name than His servants do? The most powerful personal experience of walking with Jesus is witnessing every dark force run and flee instantly, without hesitation, under the authority of Jesus Christ, and even seeing the control of weather movement in His name for His children to enjoy His creation in this world. I would use the remaining incense and the wood to lighten up the indoor smell without the necessity to rely on them for negative energy removal.
The name of Jesus Christ is my white sage and palo santo—yet smoke-free; my nature and crystals, my oracle cards, my recorder of past events and revealer of what is to come; the most powerful rebuker of dark forces; my Love, Nurturer, Friend, Listener, Father, Teacher, Carer, Shelter, Protector, Provider, Advsier, and the Everything of everything. Why would I need anything else when I have Jesus Christ?
What I found most striking was this: keeping the Bible open felt like it calmed fear and restored my heart. When I did eventually read and pray, I felt God was forming a protective shield or a solid dorm—shielding against darkness and negativity—especially when I prayed for spiritual and environmental protection. Over time, I came to believe that the Holy Bible is more powerful than any other ritual tool for confronting fear and darkness. And I came to understand that the name of Jesus Christ carries a unique authority for us—bringing love, peace, and abundance in a way that far exceeds the power of spiritual rituals such as white sage and palo santo.
My ego blocked me for a while from reading and understanding God’s words through personal interpretation. Yet God continued to show me visions, even when I did not know the Scriptures. About three years after I bought the Bible, I prayed to Him for wisdom to prevent deception. Then I was finally able to read and understand Scriptures. I learned that ‘the very bright people’ I had seen in my dream the night I bought the Bible are called “lampstands” in the Bible—and that the people of God themselves are the light source.
Revelation 22:5 “There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.”
Matthew 7:7–8 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”
The Bible did not expand my understanding of who Jesus Christ is in my life, but the confirmation of His existence, which I had already been revealed about Heaven and the Creator through visions and miracles before the Holy Bible, a guide for the spiritually blind, mute, and the deaf. I regard the Bible as a daily guide, helping me stay grounded and ensuring I am not lost. I already believed in my heart that the Creator and His Love are real, without needing the Bible to “prove” it in the first place. Hence, I have a firm foundation to know the Bible is real and He is the truth without lies, not through the written words, but His revealing of Himself that matches everything the scriptures say about God in the Holy Bible that I learned later.
The purpose of the Holy Bible is to convey to us the necessity of receiving Jesus Christ for salvation and describe a bit about what He does and His power to His little children, whom we are all ignorant about His existence, blinded by every distraction from the fallen. He did not need a small written book to prove His magnificent existence. He can simply show up to prove how powerful He is, with the power that is enough to turn the whole world upside down, if He wants to. In fact, He did not need us at all. He revealed Himself and gave us the Holy Bible because He gave His Son, Jesus Christ, so that we would not fall into the same fate He destined for Satan and all the fallen angels, so that we would continue to walk according to how He chose to create us in the first place. We can be so insignificant in His creation, but because He is a Loving God and a merciful God, He sends His Son and continues to interfere with human life just to rescue all of us from falling astray. Hence, the Bible is a little teaching book aiming to rescue all of us and free us from slavery rather than the boast of who He is, or the Holy Bible is too understated and undermines our Creator, but the Holy Bible to His existence is merely a cute and small booklet to guide His little ones.
Psalm 38: 13-15 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, like the mute, who cannot speak; I have become like one who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply. Lord, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God.
Matthew 18:12, “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?”
Our Creator created this world with different elements and us to hope that we will appreciate and enjoy the world that He admires and adores. Hence, it is important to enjoy every part of this world that God created for us to enjoy, including the warmth of the sun. Nonetheless, the deceivers produce endless distractions for many to overlook the most essential longing of all: love. The purpose of gathering at Stonehenge was to seek positivity and love. They were seeking love and attempting to find it through many different avenues. If anyone ever challenged me for being “hypocritical”, as a Christian standing alongside people who practise different spiritual traditions, I understand why that question may arise. However, I was (and I remain) a seeker in the same way they are. Jesus accepted me as I was, so I see no reason not to offer joy, welcome, and acceptance to others who are pursuing the same kind of search.
They are brothers and sisters in Christ through my eyes. I do not want to exclude, isolate, or discriminate against them. If some describe these practices as “hippy” traditions to burn sage or palo santo with oracle cards, wouldn’t the “most hippy element " be having the most powerful Holy Bible to witness the rebuke of darkness instantly? I believe Jesus calls people toward the light, not toward separation.
Ephesians 6:12 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
I have also heard accounts at the Stonehenge gathering that some misrepresented Christianity in the historical contexts to oppress many, together with their cultural practices, rather than to set them free from slavery. These stories deeply saddened me. I believe the message of the Bible is to free His people from every form of slavery. It grieves me when people exploit Christianity, distort Jesus, or twist the purpose of love to justify bondage. I believe my duty as a follower of Jesus Christ is to understand others, stand alongside them, and spread the Good News of the name of Jesus Christ, not to impose beliefs or control people’s hearts, but to invite people toward love. Ultimately, it is Jesus’s perosnal and intimate relationship with them that brings genuine transformation.
In addition, I urge the public not to be misled and deceived by forces of darkness that exploit the language of inclusion and diversity to embrace extremism and enact oppression and slavery. There is a singular type of ideology that one cannot find in the photographs and the videographs of the Stonehenge festival, which has been publicly calling for inclusion while refusing to voluntorily participate in the diverse festivals with others, but to demand acceptance from all to centralise themselves. This active inconsistency can reveal a deeper exploitation, but mock other groups of faiths while using our past to launch personal attacks agaisnt us and our faiths, as well as grasp obvious kindness and Love for one another for weaponisation to uplift extreme ideology. For instance, in 2025, that particular spiritual extremist who worships satan but did not attend the Stonehenge festival looked at me with disgust to claim I used oracle cards ( over a decade ago). satan is the accuser who refuses to forgive, but keeps us captive in our past to shame our faith in Christ through all forms of deception they themselves added in this world to enslave us before putting us all astray.
Revelation 12:10, “Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: ‘Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.”
2 Corinthians 2:11 “so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.”
Galatians 6:7, “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”

Questioning...
Since the beginning of time questioning is part of human nature.
Because of questioning we know that we are not the center of the universe, we study history, we believe in religion or in science.
Sometimes because of questioning people die, other times achieve freedom.
It's just part of us.
But in artist questioning it's not only a innate attitude, they raise it, grow it, sometimes too much, refining with their works how they see reality.
Sometimes everything can be put in doubt, so exploring notions of sculpture and space becomes the theme of an exhibition, like "There is a crack in everything..."
And just when you start giving answers a small black dog runs through the artworks jumps on your legs, and as happy as ever asks for attention....
Do dogs question them-selves, I ask myself?

Dazzled by the hyperreality of digital journalism we may find ourselves questioning the possibility of truth among contradictory narratives and sensations. British MP Jo Cox’s death in June 2016 has represented such a scenario most archetypally with an extraordinary display of media bias provided by the so-called left and right, from national newspapers to independent media.
In this work, the artists aim to create a user-experience of robotic journalism. Audiences can map out and generate news using artificial intelligence and data mined from a range of UK media online by using a mixer interface. The result will be displayed in an installation composed of data visualization, a ticker and research material.

This mom was questioning the boy (who looks like he's about 3 years old, to me) about what he'd done in school. Had he worked in his "language book"? She was very concerned he'd done his language work.

"And as they're telling stories about Irving, Irving this, Irving that, a light bulb goes off. In the fancy new modern plant, there was no Irving. Irving didn't want to commute to the north side. There was no maze of hallways. There was no half hour trip where the sausage would get warmed before they would cook it. In the new plant, they just stuffed the sausages in a cold room and cook them in a smoke house in the room next door to it. Irving's trip was the secret ingredient that made the hot dogs red. So secret even the guys who ran the plant didn't know about it."
Jim Bodman
"So we said, oh my god, that is of course the reason. Why didn't we know that? That's the dumbest thing in the world to not realize it's right there. How do we fix it? And the solution to the problem was the room that we're standing in right now. And this was a new addition put on at the plant about two years after we built the facility."
Ira Glass
"So you had to build this room?"
Jim Bodman
"This whole room. The outside bearing wall is that wall right there. We put this whole room on and in this room, we emulate the old area of the old plant."
Ira Glass
"And so this room essentially is to simulate Irving?"
Jim Bodman
"That's exactly right. We should have called it Irving, Irving's corner."
Ira Glass
"It's warm in Irviing's corner. And it smells nice too, smoky, like hickory smoke and spices. Since I first heard this story years ago from a tour of this very plant, I've found myself telling it now and then. I think that what I love about it is the fact that these guys at the factory had done everything right, finally built their dream factory with the best equipment and expertise that money could buy. But you can't think of everything. Sometimes, you have no idea why you were a success in the first place."
I loved this short story that I heard on the radio program: This American Life from July 2003. The title of the episode is
"Call in Colonel Mustard For Questioning." It reminds me of a character I have created, except this guy is the real thing, so I felt I had to draw this story. I once thought sending it to TAL as a completed pamphlet but alas it has sat in my file drawer so here it is. Text is transcripts from TAL's website.

i moved into my dorm today. i love it here, but i hate it at the same time. i'm lonely & i'm not exaggerating when i say i have no friends. i don't know if i want to be here. but at the same time, if i left i'd regret it. it sucks. i don't know what to do, i really don't.
Questioningly
Questioningly her eyes looked at me
And then she spoke-
Aren't you someone I used to know
And weren't we lovers a long time ago?
Looked at her close
Forced her into view
Yes, I said you're a girl
That I once may have knew
But I don't love you anymore
Why do you want to talk to me for?
You should have just let me walk by
Memories make us cry
In the morning I'm at work on time
My boss he tells me that I'm doing fine
When I'm going home
Whiskey bottle movie on TV
Memories make me cry
And I'm alone just me
Just me
Questioningly
But I don't love you anymore
Why do you want to talk to me for?
You should have just let me walk by
Memories make us cry
Looked at her close
Forced her into view
Yes, I said you're a girl
That I once may have knew
Questioningly her eyes looked at me
And then she spoke-
Aren't you someone I used to know
And weren't we lovers a long time ago?
