Thinking of John Coltrane on his 100th anniversary. Am small-a, non-militant atheist (I disbelieve in gods rather than one in particular). But am least atheistic, or wish I was not atheistic, listening to A Love Supreme. More than even Bach, this for me is most profoundly moving religious music.

No visible eclipse here (Midlothian) due to clouds. But without those clouds we wouldn’t have this iridescence.

Spectacular high-resolution image of our home planet viewed through the Orion Crew Module window by the Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon on Flight Day 2, 3 April 2026 (pic: NASA)

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Remember maybe ten years ago when both historians and socialists were warning about the rise of fascism, as the media class smirked and joked on TV. Next time, I say we just listen.

Welcome, new blueskiers, to a safer harbour.

Aerial photograph (my own) of the twin harbours of Mevagissey, Cornwall, UK. December 2023. The water is azure and a few fishing boats shelter in the outer harbour, smaller boats in the older inner harbour. A 19th century cast iron lighthouse marks the entrance.

St Cuthbert’s Church, Crayke, North #Yorkshire “St Cuthbert” window (2020) #HelenWhittaker The detail shows the Tale of the Affectionate Sea Otters who were reputed to have warmed & dried Cuthbert's feet after a night of him meditating & praying whilst standing in the sea. #StainedGlassSunday

The window drew inspiration from the book 'Cuthbert and the Animals 'by John Mc Manners & the Lindisfarne Gospels. So two otters link to “The Tale of the Affectionate Sea Otters” who were reputed to have warmed and dried Cuthbert's feet after a night of him meditating and praying whilst standing in the sea.
The Celtic knotwork border is influenced by designs in the Lindisfarne Gospels.
