21st - 23rd Nov 1949 at the Empress Hall, London - the Nijinsky Gala Benefit Performance for the Nijinsky Trust Fund.
It is my junior year, 1978, when disco and Rocky movies are the cultural rage. We are in an unusual sociology class at Brandeis, something Morrie calls "Group Process." Each week we study the ways in which the students in the group interact with one another, how they respond to anger, jealousy, attention. We are human lab rats. More often than not, someone ends up crying. I refer to it as the "touchy-feely" course. Morrie says I should be more open-minded.
On this day, Morrie says he has an exercise for us to try. We are to stand, facing away from our classmates, and fall backward, relying on another student to catch us. Most of us are uncomfortable with this, and we cannot let go for more than a few inches before stopping ourselves. We laugh in embarrassment.
Finally, one student, a thin, quiet, dark-haired girl whom I notice almost always wears bulky white fisherman sweaters, crosses her arms over her chest, closes her eyes, leans back, and does not flinch, like one of those Lipton tea commercials where the model splashes into the pool.
For a moment, I am sure she is going to thump on the floor. At the last instant, her assigned partner grabs her head and shoulders and yanks her up harshly.
"Whoa!" several students yell. Some clap. Morrie finally smiles.
"You see," he says to the girl, "you closed your eyes. That was the difference.
Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too--even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling."

Polesdon Lacey is a National Trust house and estate in the North Downs. The house is in a beautiful setting in a fold in the hills, with many field and woodland views.
Although we walked round the gardens a few times in the mid-1990s, we’ve never been round the house before. What a delight it is. It’s such a homely house (apart from one very grand room). The National Trust have set it up as though it’s an Edwardian house party, from the time of its owner Mrs Greville, who was given the house in 1906 by her father (Mr McEwan, of McEwan’s export beer). She entertained many famous people of the day, including kings, queens and maharajahs. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
(I’m sure there was a Mr Greville, but Mrs Greville seems to have been the dominant one in the partnership.)

Tatton Park is a vast estate near Knutsford and hosts an annual RHS flower show. As parkland it is the lungs of Greater Manchester, and some important conservation work is undertaken, but as a garden concept, or design, overseen by the National Trust, it lacks character and appears rather municipal. This ancient topiary, near the walled vegetable garden, is the only really interesting area.
I Trust You
I trust you, on all the things, I trust you…
My trust is like child that in his or her mother’s breast lay down to sleep.
I trust you, I trust on the diamond in your loyalty.
I trust in the support that my restlessness offers the tree of your serenity…
I trust you, when you’re close to me, the same is you aren’t..
And continuing your hours, step by step, my thoughts go…
And I trust in the beauty trust from yourself, that teaches me to trust me…
In all of the moments, in all the moments….I Trust You!

One of the most elegant country houses in East Anglia.
Truly a hidden gem, the Hall is a place of surprises and delights, a mixture of opulence and homeliness where each room has something to feed the imagination.
Outside, the decorative and productive walled garden is a gardener's delight, providing fruit and vegetables for the restaurant, flowers for the hall and inspiration.
The rolling landscape park with a lake, 211 hectares (520 acres) of woods and waymarked trails is a great place to explore the nature and wildlife on this bountiful estate.
It boasts a fine gothic style library and a magnificent collection of Grand Tour paintings.
The house, its contents, and estate was left to the National Trust by Robert Wyndham Ketton-Cremer, the last Squire of Felbrigg Hall, who died in 1969.
The Walled Garden at Felbrigg Hall is widely renowned as one of East Anglia's finest. Get up close to the double borders and herb beds and really breathe in the scent of lavender, sage and mint. You can find a good many modern surprises within this traditionally laid out garden.

I agree this looked to me like a fairly sturdy structure. But it has stood vacant for quite a few years. The reason I believe is that it stands at the near-edge of a cliff that has been eroding for quite some time as the Souris River meanders through down below! That river as everybody in the vicinity knows did a nasty job of flooding it's banks this spring. The house in question is in the photo. If you click on the link you will see the house in background pointed out. And that mighty river is not so mighty in the photo. But if you browse through my pic's you will see the damage this river created when it was mighty!

The old house stands empty and the people who once lived there made a choice to leave it as they could not trust it's stability any longer.
The apostle Paul reminds us that our heavenly Father grafted us into His family through our faith in Jesus Christ, and that Jesus Himself pursued a relationship with us so we could come to know and trust Him. (see Galatians 4:5-6 and see 1 Peter 3:18).
But lets face it, trust is a choice, a risk we take and it is not always an easy choice to trust someone we don't know. And if our relationship with Christ is new we will never learn to trust Him unless we risk walking with Him! Much like the people who lived in the old house, they did not know that when they built the house it would become unstable. That's why trust is a risk and we will never learn whether someone or something is worthy of our trust unless we take that risk. And that's exactly what God invites us to do. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good, David says, blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (Psalm 34:8 KJV). God wants us to take that risk with Him!
When you take that risk to walk with the Lord, you will find out for yourself that He is a trustworthy guide with your best interests and safety at heart and you will learn to trust Him. The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him (Nahum 1:7). With all the turmoil going on in this big old world, God still remains focused on us. Everything He has done through the ages reflects that!
In the Garden, He pursued us.
In the ark, He protected us.
In the wilderness, He provided for us.
And on the cross, He proved to us that He alone is worthy of ultimate trust.
Because God is trustworthy, what He says is also trustworthy. In the beginning was the Word says John, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1). It is impossible to separate who God is from what He says.
The psalmist says that God's Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path (Psalm 119:105). There will be times when your path through this old world will be dark, times when you will desperately need His light to guide you. And when the shadows of life hide Him from your view, you will need the light of His promise that He will never leave you nor forsake you (Joshua 1:5). When life's circumstances rob you of your security, you;ll need the beacon of His assurance that He knows what you need before you ask him (Matthew 6:8). We can trust His Word to guide us when life is dark because He can see better than we can. A man's ways are in full view of the Lord, and because he examines all his paths (Proverbs 5:21). Why don't we trust the Lord? Why don't we trust the words in the bible? Why do we trust our feelings more than we trust what God tells us?

Petworth, West Sussex.
Petworth House (owned and managed by the National Trust) is a late 17th century Grade I listed country house, having been rebuilt in 1688 by Charles Seymour, 6th Duke of Somerset, and altered in the 1870s to the design of the architect Anthony Salvin. It is famous for the extensive art collection of George Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont (1751-1837), and contains many works by his friend, J.M.W Turner.
Grade I listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, Petworth Park is owned and managed by the National Trust, and the wall around the 700 acre deer park is 14 miles long. The grounds are managed sustainably for wildlife and are protected under a Higher Level Stewardship agreement with Natural England. Petworth Park and Pleasure Grounds were transformed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown throughout the 1750s, the formal gardens being replaced with the graceful curves and wide sweeping vistas of a perfect ‘natural’ looking landscape. The Park and Pleasure Grounds were one of Capability Brown’s earliest large-scale commissions and considered by many to be his masterpiece, taking 12 years and no less than five contracts to complete.

Many Chartres sculptures are said to be Masonic or pagan or Middle Eastern in origin. Here, a woman receiving advice from a dragon - dragons symbolised earth energy, and the presence of the creature and a scroll supposedly means the woman had access to restricted knowledge.
O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

The house was recognised as a local tourist attraction and was purchased by the town and doanted to the National Trust in 1926 where it operates as a visitor centre in summer months.
After all the B&W last week, it's time for some vibrant color :) This was taken this past Saturday. It was a busy day. I had to work and then after work we were out doing things. As we were going home the day was close to ending. I was watching the sky and commenting to Andrezza that it could turn into a nice sunset. She looked at the grey clouds, then looked at me in disbelief thinking there was no way this sky was gonna give us a sunset. But I had a gut feeling you know. So not long after we got home, I grabbed the camera and was like, "I'm gonna go down to the pond to see if there's anything worth shooting. Wanna come?" She reluctantly tagged along. Once we got there, we didn't have to wait long. Soon the sky was filling with color, and the lack of wind made the pond like a mirror. It was truly beautiful. Andrezza just kind of shook her head with a wry little smile, then took my camera to shoot a few frames of her own. Moral of the story… trust your gut :)

The secret ideals which have nourished in the American Indian, a unique character among the peoples of the earth.
It's simplicity, it's reverence, it's bravery and uprightness must be left to make their own appeal to the American of today, who is the inheritor of our homes, our names, and our traditions.
Since there is nothing left us but remembrance, at least let that remembrance be just!
