Now before I run to play, / Let me not forget to pray / To God who kept me through the night / And waked me with the morning light. / Help me, Lord, to love thee more / Than I ever loved before; / In my work and in my play / Be thou with me through the day. / Amen

Eagle, the master of the sky, is considered a carrier of prayers. Many Indian Nations honor this bird as possessing courage, wisdom, and a special connection to the Creator. This is often confused with the “thunderbird” image concept. Eagle is also a Directional Protector (the Sky) spirit, and an image associated with spirits and visions.

It is a daily practice of mine to try to go to Holy Hour and Mass, and God never fails me. He provides just what I need each day. There is a kind soul I see every Wednesday who quietly slips me an envelope which contains some little treasure she wants to share with me. This past Wednesday, her little care package contained these wise thoughts by St. Francis of Assisi. I thought I’d share them in hopes they will give us courage to face another day, come what may. God bless! (I took this photo in Oklahoma City at a public park where this hawk was keeping vigil over the adjoining meadow where supper was undoubtedly scurrying in the grass. The birds have no anxiety about anything; provision is always made for them; we have much to learn from them).

December 21 – The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the pre-Columbian Maya civilization among others, completes a “great cycle” of thirteen b’ak’tuns (periods of 144,000 days each) since the mythical Creation date of the calendar’s current era.[6] On this day the Long Count date at creation—written 13.0.0.0.0 in modern notation, equivalent to August 11, 3114 BC in the proleptic Gregorian calendar—is repeated for the first time in a span of a little over 5,125 solar years.[7] The completion of this cycle and the repetition of the previous Creation’s Long Count ending date have been central to various 2012 doomsday predictions since the 1960s. Academic researchers have not concluded that the ancient Maya themselves attached similar significance to this point in time.[8] Set/Design- Draven Studios Self-Portrait Canon

Taken at Münster, Germany, Clemenskirche I have to admit that it took me a while to find out who that is, as there are some saints who wear the crown of thorns. / But when I read that the church belonged to the order of the Brothers of Mercy I finally knew it was John of God. From Wikipedia: / St. John of God was born João Cidade in Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal, into a once prominent family that was impoverished but had great religious faith. His mother died when he was only a small child, and his father joined a monastic order. As a young man, St. John worked as a shepherd for a farmer, who was very pleased with his strength and diligent work. John had an offer to marry the farmer’s daughter and become heir to the property; he refused because he wanted to pursue a spiritual life in the name of the Lord. He moved to Spain, where he served as a heroic soldier under the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and fought in a few battles. After many heroic exploits, he worked disseminating religious books, using the recent Gutenberg moveable-type printing press to provide people with the word of the Lord. He experienced a major spiritual conversion on Saint Sebastian’s day (January 20), while listening to a sermon by Saint John of Ávila, the man who was later to become his spiritual mentor and would encourage him in his quest to improve the life of the poor. He then went temporarily into what appeared to be a state of madness brought on by the Lord and was subsequently thrown into the madhouse, where he recovered after a visit from Blessed John of Ávila and realized that the poor and needy deserved better treatment than he had received. He decided to devote the rest of his life to caring for the sick and the poor. Settling in Granada, Spain, he expended all of his energy caring for the neediest people of the city. Slowly he drew to himself a dedicated circle of disciples, who felt called to join him in this service. St. John organized his followers into the Order of Hospitallers, now better known as the Brothers Hospitallers of St. John of God, who care for the sick in countries around the world. One mark of honor to his labors is that this order has been officially entrusted with the medical and dental care of the Pope, the Bishop of Rome, earthly head of the Roman Catholic Church in Vatican City, Rome, Italy. He died on March 8, 1550, his 55th birthday. He was canonized by Pope Alexander VIII in 1690, and later named the patron saint of hospitals, the sick, nurses, firefighters, alcoholics, and booksellers. St. John’s feast day is commemorated on March 8.

Cologne Cathedral / Detail of the Window of the Lamentation. John the Evangelist was the son of Zebedee and Salome, and brother of James (Saint James the Greater), another of the Twelve Apostles. Yochanan was one of Christ’s original twelve apostles; the only one to live into old age; and not martyred for his faith, his traditional tomb is thought to be located at Selçuk, a small town in the vicinity of Ephesus. / He is believed to be the author of the Gospel of John, the Epistles of John, and the Book of Revelation. (Well, the author of Revelation identifies himself as “John” several times, but the author of the Gospel of John never identifies himself directly.) Originally, he and his brother were fishermen and fished with their father in the Lake of Genesareth. According to the usual and entirely probable explanation they became, however, for a time disciples of John the Baptist, and were called by Christ from the circle of John’s followers, together with Peter and Andrew, to become His disciples. The feast day of Saint John in the Roman Catholic Church, which calls him Saint John, Apostle and Evangelist, is on 27 December. / He is considered a Patron Saint by the fraternal society of Free and Accepted Masons and Christian art usually represents St John with an eagle, symbolizing the heights to which he rises in the first chapter of his Gospel. / From Wikipedia

Part of a window in the beautiful little Saint Mark’s Chapel close to the Altenberger Dom, Germany. / The chapel was consecrated in 1145 or 1147 by Archbishop Arnold of Cologne. / Here the monastery held their services while the first Romanesque convent church was built (1125-1160). / Later it was for the sick and the tramontanes. John the Evangelist was the son of Zebedee and Salome, and brother of James (Saint James the Greater), another of the Twelve Apostles. Yochanan – as he most likely was called – was one of Christ’s original twelve apostles; the only one to live into old age; and not martyred for his faith, his traditional tomb is thought to be located at Selçuk, a small town in the vicinity of Ephesus. / He is believed to be the author of the Gospel of John, the Epistles of John, and the Book of Revelation. (Well, the author of Revelation identifies himself as “John” several times, but the author of the Gospel of John never identifies himself directly. And Saint Mark’s name was also John. He was “John, who’s surname was Mark”.) Originally, he and his brother were fishermen and fished with their father in the Lake of Genesareth. According to the usual and entirely probable explanation they became, however, for a time disciples of John the Baptist, and were called by Christ from the circle of John’s followers, together with Peter and Andrew, to become His disciples. partly from Wikipedia

not sure if this works or not…....my intention is to show the inner turmoil between fear and belief in the skydiver. Fear of the unknown, the risks, the line between life and death. Belief that he can fly, that he’s invincible, that he will join the birds and soar above the earth. / His connection to his birdman suit and canopy is integral to the whole emotional experience. They spend hours carefully packing, checking, and checking the delicate layers of fabric before their flights – who wouldn’t, they can kill themselves with one crossed string, one bad fold.
