Enlightened or Evaporated? Life

The ancient Mayans knew more about time than any other civilization...we are only just NOW catching up to them in our efforts to understand time and our connection to it and our connection to the Planet and the Universe. Time moves through the universe in a forward motion and in a cycle...everything in our universe is made up of cycles. The day-night cycle, the seasonal cycle- the tides-moon cycle, the cycle of a woman's body, the death-birth cycle. Some people believe through religious faith that they will live forever....I saw we already DO. My DNA which has my fathers & mother's DNA was passed to my son...my DNA will go forward with time & space, since space is the vessel carrying time along on its forward march --to what? Some believe we have expanded from our center The Big Bang..and when 2012 comes we will begin to contract..like a rubber band now stretched to its fullest size it will now retract and we will move BACK in TIME!..WOW I dont think if we do it means we will see our Great Great Grandmother again, but we will see our Planet and the Universe renewed...

All the past Era's of time have found this Earth in various stages of growth..we had an intense cooling off period, we had an ice age, we had the age of dinosaurs, now we have the age of man, and what is next?? No one can say...

Well as the Mayans knew and now we know, time will soon be coming to a completion of a cycle. Every circle has a beginning and an ending, it doesnt mean the Earth will END, or cease to be, not in my mind, it means we will be entering a new era one not seen for roughly 26,000 yrs. We come into a cycle where we ,the Earth, are aligned with our Sun, and the center of our Milky Way Galaxy...all in one alignment...and that will occur on Dec. 21, 2012!

This will end an era of time, we will be leaving the constellation of Pisces and entering into the age of Aquarius, finally!..What does all this mean for us, humans? No one knows!...All we do know is our Universe has gone through 4 "worlds" 4 cycles and now we are entering the 5th world. The Navajo believe that man is living in the 4th world after coming up from the 3rd world creeping up through a reed from the watery world...fascinating idea...since the Bible record mentions a great Flood on the Earth.

We have drifted the furthermost point from our center and now we will be returning closer to the source...maybe it will be a time of peace and renewal not just for the planet but our Spirits as we have drifted so far from center...its evident by our complacent idealism. Ive done a bit of reading about his event and according to the Mayan Long Count calendar , or the measurement of time will be reset on that date to 13.0.0.0.0 and we will begin again, closer to our center...So I guess we will all have to see what happens!

So the cycles of the Earth and of Life brought this piece of art to me...I simply call it LIFE!

(ps: check the History Channel this week, they had a story called Ancient Astronauts--some very interesting stuff ancient history connecting to the Mayans, the Ancient Egyptians, and much more.)

Tid Bits

I took this photo of a train on a recent trip out of town. Its a pano 3 frames stitched and I like the curve effect. I used HDR filters to process it and I like 3D look it gives the photo. - Photo Missing Satisfied with the results.

                                                 

 Spring is here and its official today is our frost date, so I finished planting my veggie garden..I have lettuce, tomato, onions, cucumbers, snow peas, green beans, yellow squash, green squash, butternut squash, green peppers, banana peppers, radish, and beets!...and a few white potatoes. It happens to be tax day also for us in the USA.

 I did mine already and e-filed and got my refund direct deposit. It was not so bad this year...not so for my son. I did his taxes and I think this will be the last time, I just cant get myself involved in his affairs, its too distressing to me as he had to pay last year and this year. It upsets me terribly. I have no art projects ongoing currently..so Ive been playing with some photographs.

I love photography and creative editing. Most of my photos are of nature, birds, landscapes, trees, flowers, insects such as that, or anything I see outside. Today the Blue Grosbeak came to the feeder the first time this year...very good to see that stunning fellow again, of course I had no time to get his photo..if he hangs around I'll give it a try..but its hard to sneak up on a bird!...

The hummingbirds have also arrived as have the Summer Tanagers, and the Purple Martins. They checked out my martin condos but chose the neighbors pasture...I have no horses in mine now. The blue birds will nest there probably and the Great Crested Flycatchers as well so Im not bothered. A small flock of cattle egrets showed up in the corn field nearby, they landed in the pine tops before deciding to glide down to the ground.

Photo missing.

                                                          


  Last night we saw bats swooping in the front yard, probably gobbling up mosquitoes since we have had a fair bit of rain as late. Last year when I visited Utah, we took an evening dip in the pool and the bats began to swoop just over the surface of the pool with us in it!..Kinda freaky~they came very close. That was a new experience. It reminded me of when I went to the Bahamas, a lizard climbed up on my pool chair and was waiting on my towel when I got out of the pool...Gave me a quick startle for sure...Im cool with everything except SPIDERS, so no harm done.
