This is an image of ‘random static noise sampling’
run through a “mirror effect.”
The result appears to reveal a tapestry
I live in Safety Harbor Fl. I was out last nite (6/24/06) and caught this shot.
Tell me if you don’t see a body rising to the left. With the bolts are like veins in its wings.
I am a photographer but this one I thought was quite interesting.

I saw this in the sky last winter on the way to the post office. I grabbed my camcorder to get some shots. We get a light show a couple of times a year courtesy of the Department of Defense. This was one of the minute man missile interception tests off in the western sky over the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes when you see these things on the move they actually look like they are incoming… it is a relief to see them finally explode.

Look at the face on this spider!
This is a seed?
Tilt head to the right …
Hope everyone is having a great week

I would recommend going full screen on this one
When I watched and listened to this video
it was/is such an interesting experience
I wonder what to call such a thing?
(thanks for sharing this ..Liz)
so maybe we don’t try to give it a name and label it or
even attempt to describe it in terms of symbols or numbers
no counting or division yet at that same time
we could just accept it and handle the information by grouping it
with one hand and yet not dividing it in any way
that is to say to mentally accept it
in with a larger group of stuff
…. primary information associations
that is the stuff we wonder deeply about..
and every now and then
enjoy giving our attention to
If i were to label such thing as a group
to point to such experiences of feeling realizations
as a category I would put them in a very large expanding box
of things that are all…
Mind Blowing Powerful Information
Let me show you what I am talking `bout
Now cats are normally the best of my zen teachers
They are very present beings …
When they are hungry, they eat
When tired, they rest
Alert and focused in the moment of their existence,
they seldom miss a trick.
Totally undistracted by temporal worries …
They are the epitome of willing playfulness
Usually i don’t mind being their servant
i feed them when they ask,
usually thats once a day.
That is, if they have crunches
that are fresh and clean water placed in strategic spots
…for some reason they don’t tip over
those nice cobalt blue bowls
don’t even think of using a coffee cup
Seeing as how I am visited by an urban wild kingdom of critters
like opossums and raccoons
A pet door is out of the question
This means I am their door boy
since they must ask me to open the door for them…
Going outside for a cat is irresistible …
The house is a place of safety and comfort
but so boring
Outside is where it’s happening and
they are ever curious
about what is going on
out there right now
I don’t mind abiding by their wishes
usually…
In and out all day is fine…
They like to sleep at night and pop out for a morning prowl about 7 am…
Fine during the week, I get up then any way
and on the weekend I can open the door for them at seven on automatic
without totally losing the dream
sometimes…
Their normal pattern is something i have accepted…
However lately, this cold weather, rainy, snow stuff
has them all excited…and stirred up
They look out the windows …
they know it is cold as hell and raining
but there is something fantastic going on out there
and they don’t want to miss it
So at 2 in the morning Linus decides he has to go out to investigate…
A deep throaty Meoooww
penetrates into the dream scape i am experiencing
….like a glossamer thread of steel …
pulling me back to this … reality
But I don’t want to leave this dream!
..come on cats!! dang…
so i hang in the dream until..
a second more insistent command…
a spell of intention that compels me
to return to this waking life….
MEOOOOOOOWWW …
Linus does that in the stair well where the acoustics resonate
and amply his voice perfectly
Ok Linus …
stumble down stairs …
but I give him a boost in the fanny on the way out
Just to let him know …damn cats!
Whizzz…Two cats flash in from the ‘dark wet’…….
Nala and Shanti….. pop back in …
Half soaking wet and yet totally energized by the experience
now the cats and i hang out quite a bit …
they like a good rub behind the ears and are very good company
usually…
but when they are cold and wet …
i am not just the door boy I am also a reclining heating pad for them
during the day that is fine but when i am trying to sleep …
please !!
and the little thing they do with their claws…needing !@#@!
that’s right out…
and just not happening !!
They eventually nap and I can finally sleep
Yes~!
No ~~~~ The deep MAO….of Linus returning…
As I expected the cold and wet stifled his curiosity…
in about an hour!
He wants in NOW…
Krike….it’s three am
and of course Linus, the old warrior,
past his prime but still king of the neighborhood
..needs a recharge, his paws are so cold!
And people wonder why i tend to describe all cats as female?
So I have decide…This is IT
I am putting my teachers up for auction on E-bay….
A Cat and a Crystal in a box

” People have a hard time letting go of their suffering.
Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.”

I go through some “times” like tonight
unconsciousness….
I find my self worried…
About the state of things
When you step back and look at our culture
and see things that we are doing
see them as they are right now,
and by that i mean,
There is an overwhelming amount of insane behaviors that fall under the category of unconscious temporal justifications which are being disguised and sold and done under the illusion that they are necessities. These ’problems’ arise from the past… compelling us to do unconscious actions now with the promise that it will insure a desirable future
Our eye for an eye culture lacks the fundamental basic ethic
that being
You cannot do that which is wrong now in order to bring about something you desire in the future…no matter how nobel the objective.
The unconscious execution of a “murder” like Sadam is a good case in point.
These wrong doings, like the war, are being imposed on and by our culture and are clear and present challenge to our fundamental freedom.
Our freedom,
Your and mine
Freedom is not found in the past
You will not find freedom by hoping for freedom in the future
Freedom does not come by waiting for it.
Words only point, like an icon, to the truth
and are not the truth itself
in just such a way
Freedom as a word is not the truth
just so the word war points to a truth
killing, the murder of our fellow man points with
even greater presence to that same truth
freedom is only lived
directly in the felt moment of immediate experience
In that eternal moment are you free to decide
Or you are not free at all
freedom is not…. a matter of belief
If the internal temporal model in your mind
is your internal reference point
~the Matrix has you~
Neo
You may be assured you have chosen the road
down which you will always believe
You must fight to be free.
Nothing can force you to give away your inherent state of present be~ing
and no one can take it from you
You alone are the ultimate authority
of freedom in your life.
The choice as always is yours
He said,
“The messengers and the prophets will come to you
and give you what belongs to you.
You, in turn, give them what you have, and say to yourselves,
‘When will they come and take what belongs to them?”
The warrior does not see
the mountain stream.
The army does not see the man.
Last years war is not real war.
This years war is war indeed.
The blaze of fire left untended.
Sheds no light on the path
upon which to strew flowers.
The politicians, secretly spying
find nothing to see.
Last years wine and this years rose.
Their taste and fragrance are as of old.
This moment the presence of heaven
Pass us by
The sun rises and the moon sets
The oceans deepen and
the land becomes hot.
Behind him and before him
He sees only a vision of the road
And the twisting of a path.
While before his eyes
Already
He is in the land of the immortals.
these pictures are for
Who
wanted to see some
Diamantina Crystals
The Diamantina Mine in Minas Gerias Brazil is famous for the unique crystals that come out of it. The laser wand crystal is a long slender crystal terminating with small faces. The crystal tapers from the base to the termination. The angles of the sides of the crystal are often curved and have unique etchings and/or markings upon them.
The ecthing on the Diamantina crystals are in fact often a result of quartz over growths which qualify them as elestial crystals…many of the crystals are also ‘singers’ which means that if you tap them lightly they will ring like a bell
Diamantinas
I am …
The rest is a dream
As real as you want…
such are the themes.
The creator of time is you
only the moment sings.
The One who listens
knows what to bring.
Nothing …
Is so much more than it seems
(for those that are interested
i down loaded some picture ..
you can find them in the photo section under crystals 2)
Teachers’ remarks that changed the history of physics
Archimedes, you are late again. Don’t tell me that you were locked again in the bathroom.
Copernicus, when will you understand that you are not the center of the world?
Galileo, if you will drop stones from the top of the tower one more time, you will be dismissed forever.
Kepler, till when will you stare at the sky?
Newton, will you please stop idling away under the apple tree?
Ohm, must you resist Ampere’s opinions on current events?
Nikola Tesla, I see that everyone is attracted to your magnetic personality.
Einstein, a crocodile is greener or is it wider?
Schrödinger, stop abusing cats!
Heisenberg, when will you be sure of yourself?
the last few days I was finding myself feeling pitiful
but trying not to pay that much attention
with varying degrees of success
I had this viral infestation …
(don’t even suggest the chem trails i photographed lately!)
A cold kinda thing
and the energy drain was…
worthless for writing…
when i sat/sit down at the ‘puter
all i do is stare at the computer screen
it stares back and nothing much happens
but the Moose is loose so
taking pictures is a pleasure
mouse over the pics and sometimes i name them
Shanti hogs the Stage sometimes
The Canadians sent me another unwashed,
never before seen the light billion year old
Amethyst Crystal….YES
I am going to go wash it ’bout now
this one was the previous ”newborn”
Here is ’just” a small shard
This picture is almost to scale
It is huge!
And so it this one!
P
Have a great week
My friends
