Save me from my superstitions
Now I'm free from the soul's condition
Wait just a while
And I'll greet you with a smile
Hold me 'cause I'm sure
I'm hated
Promises they are overrated
Wait just a while
While I'm drowning in denial.
The protest did not take place in view of the Coronavirus crisis but residents are finding other ways to make their representations heard.
If Someone wants to be a part of your life, they will be there.
Don't bother saving a spot for someone who won't
أذا أردا شخص ما أن يكون جزءً من حياتك , سيكون فيها .

Khajuraho, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a famous tourist and archaeological site known for its sculptured temples dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu, Jain patriarchs, and others. Khajuraho was one of the capitals of the Chandela kings, who from the 9th to the 12th century CE developed a large realm, which at its height included almost all of what is now Madhya Pradesh state. Khajuraho extended over 21 sq. km and contained about 85 temples, built by multiple rulers mostly between 950 to 1050. In the 12th century the Chandelas, in a period of chaos and decline, abandoned Khajuraho and moved to hill forts elsewhere. Khajuraho puttered along until the 14th century (Ibn Batuta was impressed by its temples) but was afterwards largely forgotten and overtaken by jungles, which probably saved it from the desecration that Muslim conquerors sometimes inflicted on Hindu monuments. In 1838 a British army captain, TS Burt, employed by the Asiatic Society in Calcutta, came upon information that led him to the rediscovery of the complex of temples in the jungle in Khajuraho.
Of the 85 original temples—most constructed of sandstone—about 20 are still reasonably well preserved. Both internally and externally the temples are richly carved with excellent sculptures that are frequently sensual and often sexually explicit. The temples are divided into three complexes—the western is the largest and best known, containing the magnificent Shaivite temple Kandariya Mahadev, a 31m high agglomeration of porches and turrets culminating in a spire. Khajuraho's name derives from the prevalence of khajur, or date palms, in the area.
There are many theories explaining the real reason for incorporating erotic art with the temples. One of the most popular theories is that they were meant to provide education about earthly desires. During the medieval era, young boys were sent to hermitage and practice bramhacharya till reaching maturity. The sculptures were meant to educate them about grahasthahram.
Yet another theory states that they were meant to represent kama (desire) as the third purushartha (aim of life). The sculptures are also accredited to the rise of the Tantric cults during that time. However, several experts reject these theories.
However, the most credible explanations for the erotic sculptures at Khajuraho are as follows:
1. Sign of happiness, prosperity and auspiciousness: During the medieval era there was a common belief that having erotic sculptures were considered alankaras or decorative motifs, protective and auspicious. This hypothesis is based on the authoritative religious texts like the Shilpashastras and the Brihat Samhita. According to the Brihat Samhita, mithunas (couples), goblins, creepers and erotic sculptures were meant to be carved on the temple door to bring in good luck and as a sign of auspiciousness.
2. Mock the Ascetics: Yet another theory explaining the old erotic art at Khajuraho states that the coital couples represent ascetics as well as people from the royal class. It is also believed that the sculptures of couples participating in the orgies are scenes imagined by the artists. Also, it is also said that the artists used ascetics in sensuous and passionate moods as a way to mock the extreme Tantric sects that rose during that era.
3. Code Language: According to experts, the erotic figures were used as a code language to convey Tantric doctrines and non-communicable experiences. For e.g. A sculpture wherein a washerwoman clings to an ascetic may look erotic and sensuous for the layman. However, in the Tantric language, the washerwoman represents the Kundalini energy that has ascended up to the chakras i.e. the neck of the ascetic. Thus, the erotic sculptures have a deeper meaning related to the Tantric cult.
4. Conceal the Magico-Propitiory Yantra: According to the architectural text of the Shilpa Prakasha, every temple must have a Kamakala Yantra strategically placed to protect it from evil spirits and natural calamities. However, the Yantra, which is basically a set of lines drawn symmetrically, must not be visible to the lay man. Thus, a few erotic sculptures with the head down posture were made corresponding to the lines of the Yantra and superimposed on it.
5. Non-duality: It is possible that the erotic sculptures symbolically represent the union of two opposing forces or energies like, inhalation and exhalation, in a timeless state of non-duality.
The erotic art at Khajuraho is considered to be the pinnacle of love and passion. However, during the period between 900 – 1300 AD most Hindu, Jain and Buddhist temples across western and southern India comprised of erotic art.
However, at other temples, these sculptures were carved at the plinth level, below the eye level and thus did not get noticed. It is only at Khajuraho that these sculptures were so prominently displayed on the main wall of the temples

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
I found it very apropos that the bar was playing all Frank while we were there (save for one totally random Beck song).
This just goes. Atmosphere. Love.
The Bayou Ranger returns from a tour of Horsepen Bayou which was part of an effort to stop a flood control project in Clear Lake City that threatened the wildlife and would have dramatically changed the natural beauty of the bayou. It was a major effort put forward by the residents in the area to halt the construction project. Many people contributed to the effort and they were successful at getting the project cancelled.
The bayous are still under a tremendous amount of pressure from the development in the area, but at least they have a fighting chance.
Anyone interested in touring the bayou can book a tour on one of the Pontoon Cruises and discover the bayou of the bayous. Cruises are available through the Armand Bayou Nature Center. There is also a rental service that will deliver kayaks to the bayou so that people can experience the bayou at their own pace.

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
[Ephesians 4:1-6 NIV]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
Amazingly 8 out of the original 10 DBR class have been saved for preservation.
Two have made their way to a new home at the Glenbrook Vintage Railway and are enjoying full restorations for service on the GVR.
1267, 1199 and the other 4 remaining members of the class were purchased by a private individual, plans unknown, and are now stored at Steam Incorporated's site in Paekakariki, Wellington.

In this case, the old Richfield filling station on our Mother Road, Rt. 66 in Rancho Cucamonga California…The land was posted for sale and no doubt would have been turned into another puke palace such as ‘star-blocks’, had it not been for the caring folks at the Inland Empire California Association (IECA)…It is in their plans to restore the building to its former glory and rebuild the shop in back which has succumbed to father time…details can be found on their website: route66ieca.org/about_the_cucamonga_service_station/servi...
Making the most of my eyesight while it lasts! This stitching is about 6" long, on a napkin found in a charity shop.
Just a small vignette I made to raise awareness of the situation in Ukraine. The protest has been largely peaceful but also very steadfast. The initial protests that started in November controlled several large swathes of the capital, Kiev, with many embittered of a rejected EU deal as a result of pressure from Russia. As of now, protesters have primarily concentrated in Independence Square and their objections now call for the resignation of the government.
For those who have been paying attention, the first deaths of the movement came yesterday, and as such, I felt a need to make a small portrayal of the events in the brick. Those in the back are peaceful, those up front are taking action, and several, including leading figures, are injured braking up scuffles between protesters and the police. The title is for those in between trying to maintain the peace.
