God Beauty Perfection Love :: Synonyms
To a practitioner of Tendai (Buddhism), everything is wonderful. ~ Saiko
From the film, Apocalypto: And a Man sat alone, drenched deep in sadness. And all the animals drew near to him and said: "We do not like to see you so sad…Ask us for whatever you wish and you shall have it." The Man said, "I want to have good […]
A rumination of mine on Steely Dan’s "Green Book". (Lyrics ) A fantasy — the Green Book — a tome of loves had, and loves lost, and loves never known — and from them a conglomerate, a creation of iconic love, Marilyn 4.0…a vision of nostalgia that never was, before […]
So I wonder at myself, again. I wonder when will I choose to live? Yes. I’m alive, I’m manifest in this corporeal form. I made that choice before I had a body to live in. I’m here, asking this question, because I made the choice to be alive. But I […]
Peter, et. al. I thought we could expand on our Divine Synonyms by listing synonyms for them.

Life hands out challenges like that, doesn’t it? Beauty is found in the most unusual places. Had I known his politics before having read most […]
The butterflies are gorgeous, gorgeous. All of them, but I really love the monarchs and daisies. They’re special. I know you’ve already sold Tweet on the lonely butterfly, but … if you’re going to go with butterflies anyway, those are stronger images. I do like Tweet’s avatar, though! Was it […]
Hey Staci, Found some more butterfly images to play with. I’m thinking about making them part of the site theme. I’ll have to talk to Tweet about the Twitter one. We’ve been having a little to-and-fro on that. I’m really liking two, which I think will work well: the one […]
I love Passion ! Now that’s an inspiring gallery. But sweetness, how ever did you miss this Chekirov print? Hmmm? Ms. Passionate Parisien? Yes, Paris is a date…Quatorze Juillet at the North East leg…and then after the Tower, we’ll find a wonderful little pension and while away the days as […]
