All my life I keep on searching for that special thing
How I've tried to always find a love and
understanding
To always see the light of day and to know that I am living All my life I'll
never take if I'm not giving
Only when the rain comes down
Only when the lightning strikes me Will I find the answer
for myself
It's got to be real
Be the best nothing less than wonderful It`s got to be real this time What's waiting there

Viganò: considerations on the Great Reset and the New World Order
www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/vigano-considerations-on-the...
-------------------------------------------------------------
Jan Theuninck has been painting the evolution of Western totalitarianism for 20 years - he saw the evolution within the political spectrum where the socialist parties were lost (Fagospatose, 2001) in the Third Way (The third way is no way, 2004) movement of Clinton , Blair and Schröder with which they gave a face to communitarianism of the New World Order. He has often compared the latter to a new kind of National Socialism. His attention has always been fixed thanks to the more than 50 years of misery with blackmail games of the services and torture practices with chemical and energy weapons (Beyond the limit, 2001, Rinascimento, 2009, The culture of learned helplessness, 2011, Neostasi, 2012, Derailed system , 2012, The banality of Evil, 2013, Zersetzung, 2014, ils nous tiennent, 2015, Submission, 2015, Threat, 2016, Utopia, 2016, Conformity, 2017, Brainwashing, 2018, Warnung, 2019, Dein Kampf, 2019, Censorship, 2020, Post-truth society, 2020 and in 2021: Political Pandemic, New World Order, The Great Reset, Angel Vaccine, Aryan Corona Passport, Cytokine Storm, Back from never been away .

[j]ust as the myths still live on in ghostly life as fables after they have died as real meaning, so the old rhythmic consciousness of Nature (it should rather be called participation than a consciousness) lives on as the tradition of metrical form. We can only understand the origin of metre by going back to the ages when men were conscious, not merely in their heads, but in the beating of their hearts and the pulsing of their blood—when thinking was not merely of Nature, but was Nature herself.
-Owen Barfield, Poetic Diction, 157.

“A photograph is not necessarily a lie, but it isn’t the truth either. It’s more like a fleeting, subjective impression.”
El Capitan is a vertical rock formation in Yosemite National Park, on the north side of Yosemite Valley, near its western end. The granite monolith is about 3,000 feet from base to summit along its tallest face and is a world-famous location for big wall climbing, including the disciplines of aid climbing, free climbing, and more recently for free solo climbing.
The formation was named "El Capitan" by the Mariposa Battalion when they explored the valley in 1851. El Capitán was taken to be a loose Spanish translation of the local Native American name for the cliff, “Tutokanula” or "Rock Chief".
The "Rock Chief" etymology is based on the written account of Mariposa Battalion doctor Lafayette Bunnell in his 1892 book. Bunnell reports that Ahwahneechee Chief Tenaya explained to him, forty-one years earlier, in 1851, that the massive formation, called Tutokanula, could be translated as "Rock Chief" because the face of the cliff looks like a giant rock Chief. In Bunnell's account, however, he notes that this translation may be wrong, stating: “I am not etymologist enough to understand just how the word has been constructed… I am found in error, I shall be most willing to acknowledge it, for few things appear more uncertain, or more difficult to obtain, than a complete understanding of the soul of an Indian language.”
An alternative etymology is that "Tutokanula" is Miwok for “Inchworm Rock”. Julia F. Parker, the preeminent Coast Miwok-Kashaya Pomo basket-weaver and Yosemite Museum cultural ambassador since 1960, explains that the name Tutokanula, or “Inchworm Rock”, originates in the Miwok creation story for the giant rock, a legend in which two bear cubs are improbably rescued by a humble inchworm. In the story, a mother bear and her two cubs are walking along the river. The mother forages for seeds and berries while the two cubs nap in the sun on a flat rock. While the cubs sleep, the rock grows and grows, above the trees and into the sky. The mother bear is unable to climb the rock to get to her cubs and she becomes afraid and asks for help. The fox, the mouse, the mountain lion, and every other animal tries to climb to the top of the giant rock but they each fail. Finally, the lowly little inchworm tries the climb and successfully makes it all the way to the top and rescues the cubs. All the animals are happy to see that the little inchworm has saved the two bear cubs and the rock is named in the inchworm's honor.
The “Inchworm Rock” version of the meaning of Tutokanula is also described in the story "Two Bear Cubs: A Miwok Legend from California's Yosemite Valley" by Robert D. San Souci and in the First People Miwok recounting of the El Cap legend.
The top of El Capitan can be reached by hiking out of Yosemite Valley on the trail next to Yosemite Falls, then proceeding west. For climbers, the challenge is to climb up the sheer granite face. There are many named climbing routes, all of them arduous, including Iron Hawk and Sea of Dreams.
There’s something quietly beautiful about companionship—the kind that doesn’t need grand gestures or elaborate plans, just the simple presence of another soul. Whether it's sitting side by side in comfortable silence, sharing a laugh over an inside joke, or swapping stories deep into the night, there’s a warmth in knowing someone is there with you, without expectation or demand.
Companionship can be found in the everyday—watching the world go by together, listening to music or watching a movie with someone, or simply existing in each other’s space. It’s the ease of unspoken understanding, the familiarity of a well-worn bond, and the reassurance that even in quiet moments, connection is alive.
It doesn’t always need words; sometimes, a shared glance, a hand resting beside yours, or just the awareness of someone being near are enough to remind you that you’re not alone. And that is a gift in itself.

Peace? check. Love? Got it. Understanding? Sometimes but not usually. Tolerance is more common, but Understanding is, understandably, hard to come by.
Sorry, not trying to preach. But I always try to tie my titles and stories in with my insatiable desire to drop pop culture references.
Understanding the causes
of being and beings
is a task without end

Valsesia, Italy.
Corno Bianco, 3320m, seen From North. With the huge NE pillar, with a prominence of more than 650m, and the long W-NW ridge.
The fierce aspect and the remote position of this mountain have been the inspiration for numerous legends.
One of these tells the story of a wild man, “Das Wilte Mandje”, that lived alone on a distant grassy plain, right below the severe cliffs of the mountain, a place called “Saccu Bode”, the plain of the donkey.
I have heard more of a version of this legend.
In a first one, this wild man fought against a group of evil witches that terrorized the people living in the green valleys below. He won the fight and forced the witches to get back on the top of the mountain, to stay there forever. Despite the help that he gave to the people of the valley, the wild man never earned any popularity, and he lived until the end of his days alone, in his remote home.
In another version, the wild man had a visit from another man. This last one offered to the eremite to transform the wild and sever valley into a heavenly place, where the winter is warm as the summer, green grass grows in every season, and fresh waters runs even in the warmest of the days; asking, in exchange, the soul of the eremite. The wild man, understanding that he was speaking with the Devil, refused; and the valley remained a place where, during winter, the sun never kisses the iced ground.
In the link below you can see the place where, according to the legend, this man used to live.
Il Corno Bianco visto da Nord. Con il grande pilastro NE, alto più di 650m, e la lunga cresta W-NO.
L'aspetto frastagliato e la posizione remota di questa montagna sono stati l'ispirazione per numerose leggende.
Una di queste racconta la storia di un uomo selvaggio, “Das Wilte Mandje”, che viveva da solo su un isolato pianoro erboso, proprio sotto le severe pareti della montagna, un posto chiamata “Saccu bode”, il piano dell’asino.
Conosco due versioni di questa storia.
Nella prima versione, quest’ uomo selvaggio affrontò un gruppo di perfide streghe che terrorizzavano le persone che abitavano le verdi vallate sottostanti. L’uomo vinse la lotta e costrinse le streghe a tornare in cima alla montagna, per rimanere confinate lassù per sempre. Nonostante l'aiuto che diede alla gente della valle, il selvaggio non guadagnò mai alcuna popolarità, e visse fino alla fine dei suoi giorni da solo, nella sua remota casa.
Nella seconda versione, il selvaggio ebbe una visita da un altro uomo. Quest'ultimo offrì all’ eremita di trasformare la sua valle in un luogo paradisiaco, dove l'inverno è caldo come l'estate, l’erba verde cresce in ogni stagione, e fresche acque scorrono anche nel più caldo dei giorni; chiedendo, in cambio, l'anima dell’eremita. L'uomo selvaggio, capendo che stava parlando con il Diavolo, si rifiutò; e la valle rimase un luogo in cui, durante l'inverno, il sole non bacia mai la terra ghiacciata.
Nel link che segue, trovate uan foto del posto dove la leggenda vuole che quest'uomo abbia dimorato.

The groin, or entrance to the river and marina was busy with various forms of water craft coming home, perhaps understanding that the storm, whilst still not imminent, wasn't too far away. I'm sure you have to have be careful of all the various distractions on the water. The light had changed too, becoming duller.
We know what he wants and he knows we know.

A completely posed picture - from sliding him around on the floor to get him where and how I wanted him, to the tilt of his head and the direction of his gaze.
A posing natural - at least that's how I remember it.
I could check through the oldest pictures and see if memory serves, I suppose, but some part of me likes thinking of him as perfect.
It's been a rough couple weeks, with the thought of him having cancer hanging over our heads (he didn't).
Here's hoping we have many more years of happy photo shoots ahead of us.

A melting lunchtime sketch today in London.
Author, The Urban Sketching Handbook: Understanding Perspective available online and in stores.
Love, her colourful dress,..
Elle sait,..Elle comprends,...
She told me, Real,..
Je vais t'expliquer, again,..:-)
She descended in silence, a wisp of the divine sculpted into flesh. The heavens split behind her, spilling gold across the storm-ridden sky. Her radiance was moonlight upon the crest of a wave.
Her wings were a cathedral of white feathers, each bearing the weight of untold sorrows and whispered prayers. She was not merely beauty. She was purpose incarnate. A sentinel between the mortal and the eternal.
Her gaze held no judgment, only understanding. She did not come to strike down nor to redeem. She was the quiet before the reckoning, the pause before the truth.
As the clouds swirled around her and the earth trembled beneath her feet, the world held its breath, waiting for the words she would speak, the message she would bear.
For an angel does not come without reason.
And this one had come to change everything.
When it's three o'clock in New York, it's still 1938 in London.

The Hamerkop is an interesting bird. My understanding is that it is in a family all it's own, just the one species. Closet relatives are thought to be pelicans and the shoebill. They also build enormous nests. Often several per year.
Quite common thru most of Africa. This guy was soaring in the early morning light in Masai Mara, Kenya.
