Sometimes you get suddenly answers on questions you have since a long time....
I will write more, but not now
There are those days when the vision suddenly becomes clear and unobstructed.
My chiropractor, graduate, he studied in England, almost ripped my new MRI out of my hands yesterday.... Because he too was unsure about my symptoms.
He looks at it and says.:
Moni, there's a cyst, a big cyst in the sacrum, it's pressing on the nerve bundle....
He immediately compared it to an MRI from 2019. And this cyst can also be seen there.
No one took note of it before, everyone just focused on the discs.
A now viable explanation for my recent problems. Which can really only be explained if the spinal canal is deeply affected or .... the sacrum.
A confirmation.
I am not crazy.
I knew there is something else besides my operated disc, besides the postnucleosyndrome, besides the new herniated disc one floor below, which is just too small for the sensations and numbness I have had lately....
I don't know what all this means now.
Now I have to have conversations with my doctors.
But it seems to be an explanation why I'm not getting anywhere....
And that's why I'm glad that the view is clear now.
To find a way...
I wanted you to know, my friends, why I am away very often now, calm, without words...
I have to focus on my life, more.
On my health.
I have to be present, there, in my life.
I have a lot of work, really a lot, in the office too, obviously.
Take care of you my friends, take care
😘
location :Genko-an temple,Kyoto city,Kyoto Prefecture,Japan
Genko-an temple ,formal title is Yohozan Hojyurin Genko-an,is located in the Takagamine district in northwestern Kyoto. It was founded by Tatsu'o Giko,the second abbot of Daitokuji Monastery ,of the Rinzai school of Zen,in1346,and used as his retirement hermitage.

The little mechanic builds…
Skippy was inspired to create his universe with the help of the amazing new designs from THOR's Old’s Cool Collection!
In addition, the little man worked with a number of pieces from THOR's The Little Den in Genoa Collection!
Motorbike to THOR’s Mainstore!
Let's keep building a world where we lift one another up, where kindness and compassion are the foundation, where love and light shine bright!
A place on stilts that rises in the sea in front of the beach of Gabicce, where Marche border with the Romagnola Cattolica. According to the project of the 50s, it had to look like a typical river boat, with a huge paddle wheel drawn on its sides. The realization has betrayed the project a little, and to evoke the epic of the great river the name above the sign has remained.
Thank you so much for choosing my photo as your group cover! I am so honored, and your group is so lovely <3

One day she realized that she could
never please everyone, so she gave up
trying and decided to be herself.
Whether other people liked it or not was
not her business.

Marimurtra, Blanes, La Selva, Girona, España.
Situado en Blanes, en la Costa Brava, el Jardín Botánico Marimurtra es uno de los jardines más bellos de la orilla del Mediterráneo. Sobre unos acantilados que bordean el mar se pueden contemplar algunas de las panorámicas más espectaculares de la costa y conocer más de quatro mil especies vegetales, la mayoría exóticas, así como un buen número de ejemplares extraordinarios por su edad o dimensiones.
Marimurtra es la obra de un hombre apasionado por la naturaleza. Carl Faust (Hadamar, Alemania 1874-Blanes 1952), empresario establecido en Cataluña, dedicó su ilusión, su esfuerzo y todo su patrimonio a la realización de su sueño, el Jardín Botánico Marimurtra.
Located in Blanes, on the Costa Brava, the Marimurtra Botanical Garden is one of the most beautiful gardens on the Mediterranean shore. On some cliffs that border the sea, you can see some of the most spectacular views of the coast and get to know more than four thousand plant species, most of them exotic, as well as a good number of extraordinary specimens due to their age or size.
Marimurtra is the work of a man passionate about nature. Carl Faust (Hadamar, Germany 1874-Blanes 1952), businessman established in Catalonia, dedicated his illusion, his efforts and all his assets to the realization of his dream, the Marimurtra Botanical Garden.
“The saints are what they are, not because their sanctity makes them admirable to others, but because the gift of sainthood makes it possible for them to admire everybody else. It gives them a clarity of compassion that can find good in the most terrible criminals. It delivers them from the burden of judging others, condemning other men. It teaches them to bring the good out of others by compassion, mercy and pardon. A man becomes a saint not by conviction that he is better than sinners but by the realization that he is one of them, and that all together need the mercy of God!”
- Thomas Merton from New Seeds of Contemplation p. 57
Shame is a powerful emotion for some of us. The realization that you have lost control of your own life could be depressing or liberating. There are actually three choices. Do you let it keep you down? Do you embrace your newly realized status? Or do you refuse the path chosen for you and change course? What do you choose when your own home no longer seems like a safe haven?
How does she sleep?
🎵 Home is Anywhere You Hang Your Head 🎶
Home is Anywhere You Hang Your Head - Elvis Costello and the Attractions (1986), Blood and Chocolates, Elvis Costello
Here comes Mr. Misery
He's tearing out his hair again
He's crying over her again
He's standing in the super-market shouting at the customers
Here comes Mr. Misery
He'll never be any good with a mouth full of gold and blood
He's contemplating murder again
He must be in love
But you know she doesn't want you
But you can't seem to get it in your head
Oh and you can't sleep at night
And she haunts you when you go to bed
When you're tired of talking and you can't drink it down
So you hang around and drown instead
Home isn't where it used to be
Home is anywhere you hang your head . . .

First afternoon off work because I felt like it...upon arrival...the realization that idle time is a burden set in...the mind wanders...there was only one solution...take a walk with the MKIII and the 100-400mm. After about 15 minutes in the still 85 Deg F heat I was done...my first thoughts on what to call this shoot was "Butterflies & B.S." A Variety of Things Seen.
The Swallowtails were on the Ironweed as was eye too...and like you, I became bored...the end.

I would like to combine this photo of the Saxon lavender near the town of Niesky with a small message. A realization that just hit me when I was thinking about a suitable text.
But actually it's more the title than the photo that carries my thoughts. The photo should just look good. Which it does quite well with all the bright lavender. At least I think so.
But what else do I care about? For me it's about perspective and truth. On the one hand my perspective and on the other hand that of the setting sun.
The statement in the title applies to each of the two perspectives. But the answer to the question of who is hiding from whom behind the barn could be completely opposite from every perspective.
Of course, this is only meant figuratively. The day a sun hides from me would have fundamental effects on my world view and my ego.
So who is right? What is the truth ? Very easy. Nobody is right. Both are right. Because something like "the truth" only ever exists in the spirit of one's own observation and one's own perspective.
Maybe you'll remember this the next time you find yourself on the brink of conflict. Because as one of my most important teachers once said: “Do you want to be right or be happy?”
Diese Foto, vom sächsischen Lavendel Nähe des Ortes Niesky möchte ich mit einer kleinen Botschaft verbinden. Einer Erkenntnis, die mich gerade ereilt hat, als ich über einen passenden Text nachgedacht habe.
Doch eigentlich ist es mehr der Titel als das Foto, welcher meinen Gedanken trägt. Das Foto soll einfach nur gut aussehen. Was ihm, mit dem ganzen leuchtenden Lavendel auch recht gut gelingt. Finde ich zumindest.
Doch worum gehts mir sonst noch. Es geht mir um Perspektive und um Wahrheit. Und zwar zum Einen meiner Perspektive und zum anderen die der untergehenden Sonne.
Für jeden der beiden Blickwinkel trifft die Aussage im Titel zu. Doch die Antwort auf die Frage, wer sich hier vor wem hinter der Scheune versteckt, könnte aus jeder Perspektive völlig gegensätzlich ausfallen.
Natürlich ist das hier nur sinnbildlich gemeint. Der Tag an dem sich eine Sonne vor mir versteckt hätte fundamentale Auswirkungen auf mein Weltbild und mein Ego.
Wer hat also recht ? Was ist die Wahrheit ? Ganz einfach. Keiner hat Recht. Beide haben Recht. Denn so etwas wie "die Wahrheit" existiert immer nur im Geiste der eigenen Betrachtung und eigenen Blickrichtung.
Vielleicht erinnert Ihr Euch daran, wenn Ihr das nächste Mal am Rande eines Konfliktes steht. Denn wie einer der für mich wichtigsten Lehrmeister einmal gesagt hat: "Willst du Recht bekommen, oder glücklich sein ?"

Every sunset, 'I' have missed more than a million realizations!
Only those that got into my senses have got into glorifications.
Every sunrise, 'I' sense what is not,
Those that 'I' feel, in fact are all mortal
Every sunrise, 'I' wake to see subtle illusions,
Those that got into my imagination, not real, mere delusions.
Every sunset, 'I' dream, the shadows of illusions ,
'All' that remains, is true, immortal.

March 3, 1966: “A flash of sanity: the momentary realization that there is no need to come to certain conclusions about persons, events, conflicts, trends, even trends toward evil and disaster, as if from day to day and even from moment to moment I had to know and declare (at least to myself) that this is so and so, this is good and this is bad. We are heading for a “new era” or we are heading for destruction. What do such judgments mean? Little or nothing. Things are as they are in an immense whole of which I am a part and which I cannot pretend to grasp. To say I grasp it is immediately put myself in a false position, as if I were “outside” it. Whereas to be in it is to seek truth in my own life and action, moving where movement is possible and keeping still when movement is unnecessary, realizing that things will continue to define themselves and that judgments and mercies of God will clarify themselves and will be more clear to me if I am silent and attentive, obedient to His will, rather than constantly formulating statements in this age which is smothered in language, in meaningless and inconclusive debate in which, in the last analysis, nobody listens to anything except what agrees with his own prejudices.”
- Thomas Merton - Exploring Solitude and Freedom from The Intimate Merton, March 3, 1966
First afternoon off work because I felt like it...upon arrival...the realization that idle time is a burden set in...the mind wanders...there was only one solution...take a walk with the MKIII and the 100-400mm. After about 15 minutes in the still 85 Deg F heat I was done...my first thoughts on what to call this shoot was "Butterflies & B.S." A Variety of Things Seen.
The Swallowtails were on the Ironweed as was eye.

Fish hatchery building at Fish Hatchery park Hastings, Mi
The community hatchery initiative began in 2001 with the realization that local trout fisheries in our area were declining. Previous stocking efforts had been providing large-bodied fish that did not reproduce well in our smaller in-land lakes, especially under changing climate conditions. Following several community meetings, a group led by Dennis and Mary LeFeuvre decided to create the North Hastings Community Fish Hatchery with the support of many sponsors and partners. Construction of this state-of-art hatchery facility began in 2007, and volunteers have been producing fish since 2008.
The hatchery is raising a unique local strain of Lake Trout (named the ‘jewel’) that has adapted over time to the conditions in our area and is more likely to sustain healthy lake trout populations into the future. In recent years, the hatchery has also expanded production efforts to include brook trout and brown trout.
This hatchery was the vision and dream of Dennis LeFeuvre. He was a founding member and driving force in its development. Dennis passed away suddenly on June 2, 2010 but lived long enough to see Jewel lake trout start their life cycle in the hatchery and be stocked into local lakes. This hatchery is his legacy to our community.

The Swallowtails were on the Ironweed as was eye too...like an Angel spreading Its Wings...inviting a path to salvation...to be lifted from the rabble...and from this babble I move on to Lavender Wildflowers...more boring Beauty.

Once upon a time, in a grand, shimmering aquarium, lived a mermaid named Marina. Her home was a world of wonder, filled with colorful coral reefs, playful fish, and sparkling seaweed. Every day, Marina would glide through the water, greeting her aquatic friends and enjoying the tranquility of her underwater kingdom.
One sunny morning, Marina decided to explore a new part of the aquarium. She swam through a series of winding tunnels, each leading to a different, enchanting chamber. As she ventured deeper, she noticed a peculiar glimmer. Intrigued, she swam closer and discovered a hidden door. With a curious heart, Marina pushed the door open, revealing a secret chamber filled with even more breathtaking treasures.
As Marina explored the secret chamber, she didn't notice the door slowly closing behind her. When she turned to leave, she found herself trapped inside. The door was firmly shut, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open it. The realization that she was locked out of her own home filled Marina with despair.
Knowing she couldn't do it alone, Marina called out for help. Her voice echoed through the underwater tunnels, reaching the ears of her fish friends. A school of curious goldfish, a wise old octopus, and a brave, red-tailed hawkfish all rushed to her aid.
Together, they devised a plan. The goldfish used their agility to swim through narrow crevices and find a way to reach the other side of the door. The octopus, with its powerful tentacles, tried to pry the door open. The hawkfish, using its sharp beak, attempted to pick at the lock.
After many hours of teamwork and perseverance, the fish managed to wedge a large, flat rock between the door and the wall. With a final push, the door swung open, and Marina was free. She was overjoyed to be reunited with her friends and her beloved aquarium.
From that day forward, Marina always made sure to check behind her before venturing into new areas. And she learned a valuable lesson about the importance of teamwork and the power of friendship.

Beyond the limit of realization
Your shadow I finally found
At the moment when
I’ve become to trust everything invisible
I throw myself into the ideal
When the blue light flowing on me
Faces you and me
All the colored emotions inside
Become the unlimited range
The brightest presence in my world
The absolute value, you
My my IDEA
You are you are you are (killing me)

When you love somebody
They'll always leave too soon
But a memory, a memory
Can make a flower bloom
We wanna be remembered
Don't wanna live in vain
But nothing lasts forever
This world is in a losing game
I wanna mean something to somebody else
Feel a significance in the real world
It's not enough to live out a lucky life
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours
And you were mine

Manhattan, NYC. This gentleman was actually signaling to his girlfriend (she had gone into the subway entrance behind the window).
Park at Realization Point, take the Range View Trail, which offers views like this. I took this on December 16, and although I took micro spikes, there was no need for them. Usually, this is a snowy trail in December.
The Indian Peaks Wilderness Area is on the horizon. Niwot Ridge, the site of the University of Colorado Mountain Research Station, is also visible.
Boulder Canyon is in the very center of the photo.
