This is contemporary take on the myth of Icarus whose father made him a pair of wax & feather wings so he could fly and escape his imprisonment… but not heeding his fathers advice to not fly near the sun during a trial, Icarus did and his wings melted off and he plunged to his death. It took much research and trials to come up with a ‘convincing’ design for today’s athlete who is out to escape the physical limits of mortal man by using inhumane methods of body alteration to get the advantage over competitors… all in the name of world recognition, fame and a sense of power… although often disguised by truisms like “I liked the challenge” or “we’re pushing the boundaries in the name of science and humanity”. / Here Icarus has had surgical implants to enable his wings to be driven by his body’s diverted blood pressure system connected to pistons which drive the wings. This leaves his hands free for balance, carrying gear etc. Perhaps the very thing we strive for is the very thing that holds us back in our true human quest for meaning and significance. This is the first part of a diptych. The second is the “white board” display of the aftermath of this failed attempt to get off the ground… with a full analysis of what worked, what didn’t and the appeal by the Project Manager to gain more funding from the Corporate sponsor. I’ll try to put it up if anyone’s interested, but it is detailed and pretty hard to see on screen.

Every year sealers bludgeon seals with clubs and “hakapiks” (clubs with a metal hook on the end), drag conscious seals across the ice floes with boat hooks, and toss dead and dying animals into heaps and leave their carcasses to rot because there is no market for their meat. Seals are also shot, but bludgeoning is preferred, because pelt buyers deduct money for every bullet hole in a seal’s skin. Veterinarians who studied a past hunt concluded that the hunters failed to comply with Canada’s basic animal welfare standards and that 42 percent of the seals appeared to have been skinned alive. Despite Canada’s ‘new and improved’ methods being implemented this year, sealers are still slaughtering these pups in the same way they have for previous years. It’s unconscionable. For more information, please visit any of the following websites for first-hand accounts and ways you can help save the seals.

[Taken in natural light and straight from the camera] This photo was taken just before Lillian was beaten by an older boy who used her as a source of income. I was on the way to Tunga/Zuga Village, a Remote village in Kebbe State, Nigeria, and we stopped to re-fuel our off road vehicles. One of our team, Pastor Joshua, our medical officer, got into conversation with with this young girl as she came to our vehicle and asked us to buy peanuts. My Spirit was drawn to her and I asked her if she ever went to school. She said No. We noticed an older boy who was lurking behind a wall, who was shouting and calling her name. I did not know what he was saying, but Pastor Joshua did as he is a native Nigerian. She became afraid and left us and went back to him. He began to push her and punch and kick her. She dropped her tray and run back to us. Sister Saidi, our mission Co-ordinator, comforted the girl, while our driver caught the older boy and beat him. (The driver was very angry. We could not stop him.) The girl explained she was raped and beaten by the boy and by truck drivers. She said she had nowhere to live or stay except with him. We took her with us and left her with Pastor Joshua’s aunt, who lived in a village that we would pass on our way to Tunga/Zuga village. A year later now and she is well cared for and loved by her new family. We contribute towards her keep. Her name is Lillian. I thank God for arranging our meeting with Lillian. These verses seem to be written just for Lillian’s new family: Mark 9:35 * And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. / 36 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, / 37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
