The Rhythm Of Time
A poem by Bobby Sands
There's an inner thing in every man,
Do you know this thing my friend?
It has withstood the blows of a million years,
And will do so to the end.
It was born when time did not exist,
And it grew up out of life,
It cut down evil's strangling vines,
Like a slashing searing knife.
It lit fires when fires were not,
And burnt the mind of man,
Tempering leandened hearts to steel,
From the time that time began.
It wept by the waters of Babylon,
And when all men were a loss,
It screeched in writhing agony,
And it hung bleeding from the Cross.
It died in Rome by lion and sword,
And in defiant cruel array,
When the deathly word was 'Spartacus'
Along with Appian Way.
It marched with Wat the Tyler's poor,
And frightened lord and king,
And it was emblazoned in their deathly stare,
As e'er a living thing.
It smiled in holy innocence,
Before conquistadors of old,
So meek and tame and unaware,
Of the deathly power of gold.
It burst forth through pitiful Paris streets,
And stormed the old Bastille,
And marched upon the serpent's head,
And crushed it 'neath its heel.
It died in blood on Buffalo Plains,
And starved by moons of rain,
Its heart was buried in Wounded Knee,
But it will come to rise again.
It screamed aloud by Kerry lakes,
As it was knelt upon the ground,
And it died in great defiance,
As they coldly shot it down.
It is found in every light of hope,
It knows no bounds nor space
It has risen in red and black and white,
It is there in every race.
It lies in the hearts of heroes dead,
It screams in tyrants' eyes,
It has reached the peak of mountains high,
It comes searing 'cross the skies.
It lights the dark of this prison cell,
It thunders forth its might,
It is 'the undauntable thought', my friend,
That thought that says 'I'm right! '

Time runs away between our fingers. We can't do anything, well just one thing: accept it :)
El tiempo escapa entre nuestros dedos. No podemos hacer nada, bueno sí, una cosa: aceptarlo :)
El temps se'ns escapa entre els dits. No podem fer res. Bò, si, podem acceptar-ho :)

*************************
I’ve been to Venice once or twice for brief business trips during my life, which had the same characteristics as the business trips I described in a separate Flickr album about Paris — i.e., they basically involve flying into a busy airport at night, taking a taxi to a generic business-traveler’s hotel (a Hilton in Venice looks just like a Hilton in Cairo,except perhaps for the canal outside the main entrance), and then spending several days working in the hotel (if the purpose of the trip was a seminar or computer conference), or at a client’s office (also “generic” in most cases — you can’t even tell what floor you’re on when you get off the elevator, because every floor of “open office” layouts is the same). The trip usually ends in the late afternoon or evening of the final day, with a mad dash back to the airport to catch the last plane home to NYC. Thus, a business trip to Venice is almost indistinguishable from a business trip to Omaha. Or Albany. Or Tokyo.
But Venice is different from almost any other place in the world, and I’ve had a couple of vacation trips to experience that side of the city. But it’s been a long, long time: the first such visit was back in 1976 (which you can see here on Flickr), and the second visit was in 1983 (pictures of which do exist on Flickr, but have been restricted to family-only access, since they consist mostly of boring pictures of drooling babies and kids sticking their collective tongues out at me).
Thirty years is a long time between visits … but for a city like Venice, I doubt that very much has changed. Well, perhaps there wasn’t a McDonald’s outlet in Venice when I first came here (and I did photograph one such outlet on this current visit, which you’ll find in this album), and you can certainly guarantee that people weren’t walking around with cellphones and smartphones the way they are today. And while the tourists typically did have cameras back in the good-old-days, they were typically modest little “Instamatic” film-based gadgets, rather than the big, garish, DSLR cameras that everyone now seems to carry around with them, complete with advertising logos all over the camera-straps and bodies to remind you that they, too, can afford to buy an expensive Canon or Nikon gadget that they really don’t know how to use properly. (Sorry, I got carried away there …)
But the buildings, and the people, and the canals, and the gondolas … all of that is the same. And that’s what I’ve tried to capture in this set of photos. The tourist crowds are now so thick (even in May!) that I didn’t even bother going to the square at San Marco, and I didn’t bother taking any photos from the Rialto bridge over the Grand Canal; but you will see some photos of tourists in this album, along with photos of the local people who are still here …
I don’t expect to come back to Venice again in the next year or two … but if it turns out to be 20 or 30 years before my next return, I suspect it will all look pretty much exactly the same as it did on this trip, and in 1983, and when I first saw it in 1976.
New Pinky:st figures arrive!
Well, new to me. They're actually nearly twenty years old.
This is my first new-to-me Pinky Street figure purchase in a long, long time.
I never had the Go! Go! box set, as it was always too expensive and hard to find back in the day. The seller indicated that the open box Tenjou Tenge figure was missing a part, but the part is actually in the box attached to the doll body. The seller also included a cute littleTokyo Swallows baseball-themed Omiyage Danboard minifig.
Additionally, I placed the eBay order Monday afternoon, and the parcel arrived from Japan via FedEx on Wednesday afternoon. That's kinda mind-blowing. FedEx doesn't even deliver domestic (in country) parcels that quickly.
It's pretty fun to have a Pinky Street figure parcel arrive in the mail once again!

This week's WOW word is plenitude. It means abundance. My picture of this week is a clock compose of 30 coins and one button. This creates the shape of a clock. The first things i think of for plenitude is time. Time is plenitude. It is a thing continues forever. It will not stop or go fast if you want to and there are still a long period of time waiting for you.
When I start creating my clock. I think of the people now in this society, they need money. Every day, every night, all the time. They are working to earn more money. So I choose money to become my composition of my clock. I do not have any lines that told what is the time now. Because all the time, people are working and time is passing all the time.
Putting some small 5 cent coins on top of 1 yuan coins are really difficult than what I think. It tools me about 5 minutes to put them in good position and 5 minutes to set the top part up. When I am taking the photo, my brother is beside helping me hold the torch to provide light not using flash on the camera. I choose a low f/stop to create the blurry in the background, a high shutter speed because the little move can make the whole picture not clear. During the process of taking the picture, I accidentally hit my table by my body and all of the coins fell down in one second which let me want to give up doing this.
