Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Dennis Leahy]

I see that Avalon member "Wind" has posted at least one of Robin Wight's incredible wire sculptures. Here's one and a link to the artist's page.

(many of the sculptures appear very different in different light.)

OK, maybe adolescent male fantasy, but impressive artwork.

images of such elegance, sweetness and spirit can only be found in Paris, France

I should very much hope not!

. . in other places there's a different kind of elegance, sweetness and spirit

I should very much hope so!

Dennis, as I was saying only the other day on Calz's thread, life is orgasmic, which makes this much more than just adolescent male fantasy.

Mediterranean

Perhaps because my childhood
continues playing on your beach,
and hidden behind the canes
my first love sleeps,
I wear your light and your smell
wherever I go,
and piled on your sand
I keep love,plays(1) and sorrows.

I,that in my skin have
the bitter flavour of the eternal crying,
which a hundred peoples(nations)(2) have shed into you
from Algeciras to Istanbul,
so that you can paint in blue
their long nights of Winter.
Beacause of misadventures,
your soul is deep and dark.

My eyes got used to
your red dusks
like the bend to the truck...
I am a singer,I am a liar,
I like gambling(3) and wine,
I have the soul of a sailor...
What can I do?
I was born in the Mediterranean.

And you approach,and you leave
after kissing my small village.
Playing with the tide
you go away,thinking of returning.
You are like a woman
scented(4) with tar
who is missed and loved,
who is known and feared.

Oh...! If the fate(death)(5)comes
in search of me an unhappy day.
Push my boat to the sea
with an autumnal east wind(levante)(6)
and allow the storm
can strip its white wings.
And bury me without mourning
between the beach and the sky...

In the hillside of a mountain,
higher than the horizon.
I want to have a good view.
My body will be way,
I will give green to the pines
and yellow to the broom...
Near the sea.Because I was born
in the Mediterranean.

Interesting article on how emotional or physical trauma may cause a "piece(s) of our soul to flee".

The Power of Shamanism to Heal Emotional and Physical Illness

Some main points:

• Illness from A Shamanic Perspective
• Power Loss
• Soul Retrieval: How Shamans Heal Trauma

"It is believed that whenever we suffer an emotional or physical trauma a piece of our soul flees the body in order to survive the experience. The definition of soul that I am using is soul is our essence, life force, the part of our vitality that keeps us alive and thriving."

"The types of trauma that could cause soul loss in our culture would be any kind of abuse: sexual, physical, or emotional. Other causes could be an accident, being in a war, being a victim of a terrorist act, acting against our morals, being in a natural disaster (a fire, hurricane, earthquake, tornado, etc.), surgery, addictions, divorce, or death of a loved one. Any event that causes shock could cause soul loss. And what might cause soul loss in one person might not cause soul loss in another. Shamans believe that alarm clocks can cause soul loss. I think we all know what they mean."

"There are many common symptoms of soul loss. Some of the more common ones would be dissociation where a person does not feel fully in his or her body, alive and fully engaged in life. Other symptoms include chronic depression, suicidal tendencies, post traumatic stress syndrome, immune deficiency problems, and grief that just does not heal. Addictions are also a sign of soul loss as we seek external sources to fill up the empty spaces inside of us whether through substances, food, relationships, work, or buying material objects. Anytime someone says, “ I have never been the same since” a certain event and they don’t mean this in a good way, soul loss has probably occurred."

Amazing: spoof story by The Onion turns out to be a scoop:

"Haaretz graciously admitted in a blog post that: “There’s no other way around it: the fake newspaper broke the story.”

"When The Onion is the most reliable news source about your country, you know you’re a mess"

The Onion quoted a fake State Department spokesman, who said: “Bibi always gets a little cranky when he sees us talking to Iran, but a few dozen short-range surface-to-surface missiles usually cheer him right up.“Of course, we try not to spoil him by giving him a whole new tactical ballistics delivery system every single time he throws a fit, but our guy’s pretty good at getting his way. At least we’ll have a couple months of peace and quiet around here.”

Paula, it took me a long time to get over my Mother's death at 42. I was 22. Turn to alcohol, quit college, no responsibility what so ever!

BTW, sorry I missed your birthday. Happy Birthday, beautiful Lady!

Take care my dear!

How are the wood pigeons?

How are the wood pigeons?

Hi Silkie,

I’m not certain. I’m too afraid to check. A couple of things I noticed when I went back early the next day: the replacement nest was tipped in such a way that either Momma and Papa entered or a predator, and the same pigeon is still there from when I hung the nest.

I’ve been adding food for her under the tree. Either way, The Twins are in a better place than on the ground and in the baking sun. That’s the only way I can reconcile my feelings.

I thought I heard them chirping on my walk today but I was too chicken to investigate. The reason why no one sees baby pigeons is because they stay in the nest for sixty days. Which is twice as long as most fledglings. So, I figured there’s time enough to say, “Hi-ho” from a distance or time enough to accept that they’ve upgrade their wings to Angel ones.

For people that missed the post, I researched where it’s an old wives' tale that the parents won’t accept their young if handled by humans. Typically, parents are close by to keep an eye on them if they fall out of the nest. If you can’t find the original one, then build a makeshift one out of a container. Poke holds in it and add paper towel and wash clothes. The Mama and Papa will continue with their duties in the substitute home.

Oh Dan! Have a blast!

I got me a gorilla cart, for hauling around all these straw bales I got. I'm going to be trying out bale gardening in the woods, where the soil is basically sand and clay with a thin layer of humus on top (carrots are the only thing that ever grew). The new wagon will also be one heck of a toy.

Sure wish we were seeing Flash around these parts.

[RunningDeer]

I’m guessing it’s a joke? Cuz, when I pull the image onto my desktop the jpg file is called, “BILLETE AVION EN BLANCO” which translates as “plane ticket in white”. (You can also read it in the link itself.)

Check out Dan’s ticket here.

Okay, now I see I’ve over thought this.

Now that made me burst out laughing RunningDeer.

Flash was around about a half hour ago on another thread. Just in case she stops by, "Hello Flash. "

Had to look up gorilla cart. PL, you're a man of many talents...
