Today’s bunch of bananas included this important sticker:

Party with Potassium, really?
They provided a handy website too. Forget that, what would it REALLY be like to party with potassium?
Ask this Gummy Bear
Or perhaps a Candy Cane
Don’t invite it swimming
But be sure to wear an outfit as seen in this video.
No wonder the money looks like this now

CUM MINOTHAURO PUGNAT THESEUS [IN] LABORINTO*

Theseus fights with the Minotaur in the Labyrinth
* see Mom – all those years of Latin and I finally found a way to work it into a post…
Latin aside – what I really wanted to share with you was a couple of pictures of a local labyrinth.

Labyrinth at Earth Sanctuary April 2007
There are some wonderful sites out of the web documenting the history of the labyrinth. One such site is Labyrinthos. Check out all the typologies – makes me want to collect all the rocks in my yard and get busy!
Other than trapping Minotaurs and evil spirits – the labyrinth is considered a form of pilgrimage. People can walk the labyrinth ascending towards enlightenment or salvation.

The path of the labyrinth is designed to help achieve a contemplative state, settling the mind by the loss of direction inside the windings.

Happy Sunday.

Friday morning the air was so clean that all I could think was the Earth had washed all night to remove the scent of man. It may rain a lot where I live, but the air and water are extraordinary.

I’m annoyed. Why are so many of my photo links broken? I just spent the better part of an hour putting the links back together. I ended up deleting a bunch a posts too because there were just too many links to restore.
Not happy.

First an apple
Remember the talking apple tree in the Wizard of Oz? Mean old tree. I was casting around for a video of that tree, but I found this instead. Even better. The entire Wizard of Oz in 5 minutes!

I just read his obit in the NYT.
Bless the onward journey of this man who brought us beautiful songs from the avian world.
If you follow the link inside the news article you can play in the audio collection housed at Cornell. Sample around – so many stunning songs.

Tuesday evening the full moon was filtered with cloud cover. This is silly of course, but I thought it looked like the Bat Signal.

I came across a scarf tied onto a large stone. The pulled threads seemed to ask for consideration.

Black and White

Remaining fabric weave

Collected raindrops

Gone to fuzz
