"La Martyre" - and I'm sorry but I don't know the artist. It clearly dates from the First World War - there's a German helmet on the piano and that appears to be a Red Cross nurse lying dead beside the enthusiastically performing Death. #31DaysOfHalloween #gothic #GreatWar

It’s wild how messages line up when you’re meant to get them. For me, it’s hawks screaming close overhead back to back, followed by strangers out in public saying the exact words tied to what I’m chewing on. "Reality" really just turns the volume all the way up. #FolkWitchFriday #WitchSky #FolkWitch

A juvenile Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) soaring overhead against a clear blue sky, its broad wings and banded tail backlit by bright sunlight to reveal feathered flight patterns.

POPE LEO: “Intelligence must draw on memory. The mind must not simply compile data—as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can—but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences.”

Intelligence must draw on memory. The mind must not simply compile data — as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can — but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences. Everything that is good begins "with the Spirit" and thus possesses a breath, a dynamism and a sense of communion that, once experienced, are engraved upon the heart.

It seems to me that the world really is filled with people who are completely mad, living in fantasy worlds with just enough points of intersection with our social reality that they are not only functional members of society, but often hold positions of extraordinary power or influence.
