It's not

What you thought

When you first began it

You got

What you want

Now you can hardly stand it though

By now you know

It's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

'Til you wise up

You're sure

There's a cure

And you have finally found it

You think

One drink

Will shrink you 'til you're underground

And living down

But it's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

'Til you wise up

I love owls. When I was in third grade my father owned a fish camp in a very rural and remote part of Florida. I got to school via a school bus, which came very early since we lived so far from the school. I stood alone at the top of our drive, by a huge oak tree, awaiting the bus. Every morning a small owl was sitting above me in the tree and would gently make owl sounds; "whoooo, whoooo." I remember making the sound back to it and considered the little owl my friend. The joys of childhood memories!

Message from the Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers:

 

"As you move through these changing times... be easy on yourself and be easy on one another. You are at the beginning of something new. You are learning a new way of being. You will find that you are working less in the yang modes that you are used to.

 

You will stop working so hard at getting from point A to point B the way you have in the past, but instead, will spend more time experiencing yourself in the whole, and your place in it.

 

Instead of traveling to a goal out there, you will voyage deeper into yourself. Your mother's grandmother knew how to do this. Your ancestors from long ago knew how to do this. They knew the power of the feminine principle... and because you carry their DNA in your body, this wisdom and this way of being is within you.

 

Call on it. Call it up. Invite your ancestors in. As the yang based habits and the decaying institutions on our planet begin to crumble, look up. A breeze is stirring. Feel the sun on your wings."

Quando sono andato a scuola, mi hanno chiesto cosa volessi diventare da grande. Ho risposto “felice”. Mi dissero che non avevo capito l’esercizio e io risposi che loro non avevano capito la vita.

“The wise man knows that it is better to sit on the banks of a remote mountain stream than to be emperor of the whole world.”

Lately I feel a certain inertia. I talk to my SL brothers and explore Sims. Was it in a coming and going of Chouchou that I came across this image: desolation, contemplation, hope? I took several angles, read the profile, talked to the stranger, asked permission to upload the image. Honestly, I was undecided, but it is for a common feeling that I will share it: contemplation and desolation.

 

This music is all:

If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much.

This is my friend's cat. He is 19 years old and still active enough to jump onto his favourite chair.

 

Happy Caterday!

I last photographed this cat seven years ago. That portrait is in the first comment.

#Sound

 

For "Sound" it had to be my violin. If I don't play it (and I know I should, but, oh dear, the overcoming!), I can at least honour it with a bit of Flickr sunshine from time to time. Maybe I should work on my "scratch resitance" (sound-wise), it might help me to get over the first caterwauling hours of exercise after so many years of not practicing ;-)

 

This, you've guessed it, is a small part of the F hole, about 2 cm / 0,78 inches wide. I decided to go for a slightly more "obscure", kind of vague low key look with a very shallow DOF, because when it comes to music, sound in general, it often is not very clear at all why we like a song, a specific sound, or why we positively hate it. Sound, music moves us, either way.

 

I have a busy day today, so I can only stop by here today occasionally, I hope to catch up with you later! HMM, Everyone, and have a nice and safe week ahead!

 

Für das Thema "Sound" musste es meine Geige sein. Wenn ich sie schon nicht spiele (ich sollte, ich weiß, aber die Überwindung!), kann ich ihr wenigstens von Zeit zu Zeit ein wenig Flickr-Sonnenschein gönnen. Vielleicht sollte ich an meiner (klanglichen) Kratzfestigkeit arbeiten, um, nach so langer Zeit des Nichtspielens, die ersten Stunden des Katzenjammers zu überstehen, bis es wieder rund klingt ;-)

 

Dies ist, Ihr habt es schon erraten, ein Teil des F-Lochs. Ich habe hier bewusst auf geringe Schärfentiefe gesetzt, um den Charakter von Musik, von Klang generell zu verbildlichen. Wir können ja oft gar nicht definieren, warum wir ein Musikstück mögen oder einen bestimmten Klang geradzu hassen. Musik, Klang bewegt, so oder so.

 

Ich habe heute viel zu tun und kann hier nur gelegentlich reinschauen. Ich hoffe, heute Abend wieder mehr Zeit für Euch und auch den MM zu haben. Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne neue Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, passt gut auf Euch auf!

A blushing little Mayflower

Turned away her head,

Too polite to let a weed

Hear a word she said.

Today is their day! This image is 2 winters old. No sunshine right now, rather dreary and grey and gloomy.

It is always wise to look ahead, but difficult to look further than you can see

Looking close on ... Friday

Äg ditt liv.

Följ ditt hjärta!

Sätt upp ett mål

Gör en plan

Följ planen, steg för steg

Och dina drömmar går i uppfyllelse.

 

❤️❤️❤️

 

Own your life.

Follow your heart!

Set a goal

Make a plan

Take action, step by step

And your dreams come true.

We will continue to walk through the storm despite the fatigue

and let time pass with its rotation

it will shape ourselves to be stronger to withstand all attacks

 

in the darkness we are increasingly alert

in the light we will be wiser

"darkness will return to its original place and the stars will begin to shine in the dark ocean"

 

Happy New Year 2021

for everything

One of Peter's creations, which I have posted pictures of before.

Looking like the three wise men there in Bryce Canyon.

Elephants are such amazing creatures.

I will tell you how the spirit he becomes a camel, as the cammel becomes a lion, and as the lion finally becomes a child

The walking Buddha image in Sukhothai

Wise men say

Only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you

 

Shall I stay?

Would it be a sin?

If I can't help falling in love with you

 

Like a river flows

Surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be

 

So take my hand

Take my whole life, too

For I can't help falling in love with you
