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
😘

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.

Original Picture -
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 . . .
Picture taken at home.

Lyric
"As long as you are chasing happiness,
you are not ripe for happiness"
(c) Hermann Hesse
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.

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.

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

The meaning of the inner self became a fundamental and central issue for Merton. Since he believed that God was present in the depths and the ground of all human beings and that the seeds of contemplation were planted in the inner self, for Merton, the deepest self was not the “I” or “ego” of everyday consciousness but the inner and hidden self, the deepest reality of the human person in which he or she was truly sustained by a most fundamental union with God as the Ground of being. 161 The realization of this union with God through delving into one’s inner world was the goal of contemplation. Thus, an awakened person’s life was revealed by openness and compassionate love for others, the fruits of contemplation.
--Thomas Merton’s encounter with Buddhism and beyond: his interreligious dialogue, inter-monastic exchanges, and their legacy / Jaechan Anselmo Park, OSB.
Plant Identification needed...
I have never seen a plant like this one.

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)

This castle has changed hands a lot in recent years and has acquired a very special reputation. It was in fact the site of one of Europe's largest illegal drug labs and has since been abandoned...
This great room is the realization of a former industry. In 1913 he rebuilt the castle that was destroyed around 1600 and dates back to the years 900-1000.
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.
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

A figure lingered in the adjoining room, motionless. Like a chameleon, it melted into the shadows—too still, too perfect.
Then it moved.
Its skin shimmered, shifting hues as it stepped forward, briefly mimicking human form. But the girls knew better.
It lunged—unnaturally fast.
Its flesh rippled, barely containing the thing beneath. A jagged tear split across its arm, then its throat. The human illusion morphed away like a discarded mask.
Sleek emerald scales caught the fractured light. Muscles coiled beneath the surface. Predatory. Amused. Slit pupils narrowed. A jagged grin revealed rows of serrated teeth.
It was on them in a heartbeat.
“Shit,” Kayla muttered, yanking the knife from her jacket.
Adrienne racked the slide on her pistol, hands trembling.
Kayla didn’t wait. Her wrist snapped, sending the blade slicing through the air as the creature lunged—grazing its side.
Adrienne’s pulse thundered. She wasn’t ready. She knew it.
The reptilian struck—blindingly fast.
Kayla twisted, narrowly dodging its talons. She spun low, driving her blade beneath its ribs. The creature hissed, whirling toward Adrienne, yellow eyes blazing. “Go! Jump!” she shouted.
It lunged sideways, claws arcing toward her middle.
Instinct took over.
Adrienne fired seven rapid shots into the creature. Dark green blood splattered back. The creature was unphased and it reeled back to strike.
She felt the whoosh of air as the creature struck—at the same instant everything shifted.
Its claws slashed through empty air. Adrienne was gone.
Her head spun. She was alive. But she was back at the shelter. She hadn’t meant to jump. But she had.
Kayla turned, eyes wide with realization. “Adrienne—?”
The reptilian recovered instantly. It spun toward Kayla, eyes burning with rage. Hunger.
She vanished.
The creature shrieked in rage, nostrils flaring as it tore through the vacant air of an empty room with blind, savage strikes. Then, with a guttural gasp, it crumpled to the floor.
Standing behind the creature was Kayla, her knife buried deep in the base of its skull.

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.
I've Finally Reached THE WONDER YEARS
WONDER where I parked the bike?

WONDER where My glasses are?
WONDER what day it is?
WONDER what I came into the kitchen for?
Etc..Etc..Etc...

There had been a passing shower and these little pink wildflowers were glistening in the late afternoon Sun.

For Thomas, self-realization in the larger story calls for a reinvention of ourselves as participating in our genetic relatedness to Earth, as well as in the material elements of the universe. The challenge that Thomas himself underwent by integrating cultural and evolutionary history became his prophetic call. He called humans back from a hyper-individualism trapped in a use-relationship with an objectified, dead world. The three mediations evident in the cultural historical record inspired him to call for a communion experience with the Earth community as continuing the emergence of the universe.
--Thomas Berry, “The Role of the Church in the 21st Century,” in The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth, ed. Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim (Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis Books, 2009), 58.
