Knot of rope securing boat to Harbour, Looe Cornwall England
Old Oak tree has lost all its original limbs but recently sprouted a new top.
This yellow dory was tied to the wharf for the winter. The boat launch had quite a steep angle to it… you can see the ocean far below, so the dory was secured with these blue ropes.I loved the contrast between the yellow boat and the blue ropes holding it securely. / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / laminated print / /

I was obscured by sea scrub bushes as he lumbered along the sandy path with difficulty; his knees stiff with arthritis, his knobbly hands clasped behind his back. He reminded me of an old tree full of whorls and gnarls and knots in the wood. I wondered fleetingly of his love for the ocean that made him hobble and drag himself across the sand towards the silvery lace of the sea. As he passed by unaware of my presence, he said in rusty tones, ‘Well love, looks like we’ve got the beach to ourselves today.’ Iwatched him walk to the water and put his feet in, imagining the salty comfort of his toes. I wondered what he missed the most: the smell of love on his skin, in his clothes and hair, or the feel of love beside him in his bed, or love’s face waiting for him at the end of each day that made all the days of rubies or coal worth it, or the way life felt measured by the love’s grace. I wondered if he missed the sound of love humming their favourite song in the next room. His hands of wood and knots stayed clasped behind his back. I bet he was a hand-holder, I thought, my eyes stinging. I bet he can still hear music in the next room.
Abstracts from Nature / This was once a brown tabby cat. Honest! Sebastian, my photo-ham kitty had me take one last pose. They were all beautiful shots, but I could only send one to RB, so I made a copy of one of them and started to play with it in Picture Publisher 5. It was okay. Then I got ahold of Pic Pub 10, and played with the effects it had to offer. Then I turned ti lime green- it looked okay, but not “finished”. The use of Light Artist did what was needed- added the brass and brown tones, and sort of aged the brightest lime color. I’d like to have a sculpture of this some day. But I suppose nobody would understand it. Now you do, though. Unravel it and it’s a cat!

A week after receiving a ‘deeksha blessing’, I kept envisioning this same symbol, over and over again, so yesterday I decided to attempt drawing it, photographed the drawing then began playing with it in photoshop7 and redfield plug-in fractilius. After finishing the piece, my curiosity got the better of me and I began searching to see if there was a meaning behind it… Turns out that it is one of eight “Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism” or Ashtamangala, associated with the physical form of Buddha. The endless knot or shrivatsa (sanskrit) is a closed, graphic ornament composed of right angled, intertwined lines. It is conjectured that it may have evolved from an ancient naga symbol with two stylized snakes. / It signifies a dramatic interplay/interaction of the opposing forces in a dualistic world of manifestation, leading to their union and ultimately to harmony in the Universe. This fact is amply reflected in the symmetrical and regular form of the endless knot. The intertwining of lines reminds us how all phenomena are conjoined and yoked together as a closed cycles of cause and effect. Thus the whole composition is a pattern that is closed on in itself with no gaps, leading to representational form of great simplicity and fully balanced harmony. Since all phenomena are interrelated, the placing of the endless knot on a gift or greeting card is understood to establish an auspicious connection between the giver and the recipient. At the same time, the recipient is goaded to righteous karma, being reminded that future positive effects have their roots in the causes of the present. This is because the knot represents a connection, a link with our fates, binding us to our karmic destiny. Not surprisingly, this is one of the most favorite symbols of Tibetan Buddhism, and often occurs independently on its own. Since the knot has no beginning or end it also symbolizes the infinite wisdom of the Buddha.

This is actually an old favorite of mine that I am bringing back = ) / We all wear a mask for different situations, work, family friends etc. Hopefully there is at least one person with whom the mask is chunked and you are free to be the real you 100% I am fortunate have several of these wonderful souls in my life. So in this I have tied the mask to the wall and wear it no more. Making this really made me think and even ultimately like me for me. I wrote this a few years ago and decided I would never be so caught up in the game of everyday life that I became this person. I hope you like the art/poem. Have an awesome day!
