Rememberance; Paint the town...

Red

Rememberance

❡ And you wait, keep waiting for that one thing

which would infinitely enrich your life:

the powerful, uniquely uncommon,

the awakening of dormant stones,

depths that would reveal you to yourself.

In the dusk you notice the book shelves

with their volumes in gold and in brown;

and you think of far lands you journeyed,

of pictures and of shimmering gowns

worn by women you conquered and lost.

And it comes to you all of a sudden:

That was it!
And you arise, for you are

aware of a year in your distant past

with its fears and events and prayers.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Translated by ⎆ Albert Ernest Flemming




Sir, I thank you everso kindly... for I love Rilke; if not for your translating...

Diaphanous ~ my new Flickr group

I reworked this photo for my new group, very new indeed, I'm the only one in it, it's called Diaphanous a flickr group for photos seen shot through window screens, windows, shades, fabric, curtains,, (if car windows the focus of this group is not on car mirrors) fences, and anything related, I've not thought it out fully yet.
the original

I've been very drawn to these types of shots, I have more then a few in my archives. I'm excited about the group. Come join us, haa, right at the moment, it's just me, there isn't yet an us)
Anywho, it's incredibly close and humid here today (again), 94% humidity for that matter, and me, without access to the sea I feel like one of those folks that complains about the weather, I just really miss the seaside, and you Andy. Back online now to renew Dad's passport, hmm didn't I just do this for myself a bit ago, yeas, Oh the fun.

I brought some chamomile blossoms back from Hayling Island with me on my return in 2007, seed, to plant, to seed..

They are so very tiny, it's amazing just how small they are, probably due to the crowded planter.

They were all so cute, I'couldn't decide on which to remove.

It's raining again, day 7 since that 747 took my honey away, we dream of a "real" freedom, of being able to come and go as we please, but the world is a different place than what it once was.

Oh btw, anyone know what has happened to blogger, jeez first it's youtube, I guess we are no longer able to log in our YT account, I found I must use

my gmil account and aren't I glad I have one, now this new out-a the blue change to the blogger "design".. somethings are best left allow Goggle!

{okay, truth be told, I've come to really like the new blogger designs}

You have to look with the heart ..

The rain has stopped still the sun is covered, I needed an archive to remind me the sun does & will eventually shine down on us once again..

Everything needs tending, from garden (if one would call it that) to roof to the belly of the basement, I'm tired of the sand castles, it feels like that, fix it so a wave can come and sweep it away from me...



"People where you live," the little prince said, "grow five thousand roses in one garden... yet they don't find what they're looking for...
"They don't find it," I answered.

"And yet what they're looking for could be found in a single rose, or a little water..."

"Of course," I answered.
And the little prince added, "But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart." "

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (The Little Prince)
