One of the carriages of the fateful Train that was struck by the Tsunami waves on the morning of 26th of December 2004 at Peraliya, Sri Lanka. Except few passengers who manged to escape before the waves, all the 1000+ passengers on board perished during the incident, which is now considered as the worst train disaster in the world. Sign above the right window reads “Reserved for Clergy”. Shot with my old Canon Powershot A 75 (3.2 MP).

When I posted “For Mark, an American soldier, who gave his life in Iraq,” I didn’t realize that it would not print well as a card, so I’m adding this image of the same poem by Kim Graham and a different dragonfly photo to accommodate those who would like a copy of this in card size. 100% of proceeds from sales will go to the Mark W. Graham Foundation. According to the foundation’s official website, “The Mark W. Graham Foundation is a non-profit organization which provides support for young people of character and military families in crisis. It honors the legacy of Mark Graham, a fallen soldier whose strength of character and gift of service to his country are an inspiration to all who knew him. Mark was a Lafayette, La., native and his death opened the community’s eyes to the reality of war and the sacrifice soldiers make in their fight to keep our country free. He was married to Stephanie for a little more than a year when he died. Mark was 22 years old.

I cry the tears of sorrow, as there will be no tomorrow. I cry the tears of pain, as struggling is now in vain. I cry the tears of endlessness, as I am filled with emptiness. I cry the tears of love, as I now watch you from above. I cry no tears of sorrow, as there will always be another tomorrow … Picture made on Melaten cemetery, Cologne, Germany

This profound quotation is commonly called St. Teresa’s Bookmark as it was found tucked into one of the great saint’s books. St. Teresa of Avila was a Carmelite nun who lived in Spain and was a great mystic and prolific spiritual writer. I created this image today for three people: for Barbara and Jerry, my mother’s neighbors who lost their home in a fire yesterday. All of their worldly possessions were destroyed in about thirty minutes. Barbara ran out of the house with her purse, her robe and house slippers, and the cup of coffee she was holding when smoke billowed everywhere. The other person I created this for is a friend, Brenda, who emailed me to say she was feeling low and needed a word of encouragement. I thought that these three people who are deeply troubled would be comforted by these words of enduring wisdom and truth. Maybe someone else needs to hear them, too. God help us all to remember that he alone suffices and he alone is unchanging and dependable.

When someone mentions a ghost, most of us think of cemeteries, haunted houses, and human-sized transparent figures draped in sheets. / Likewise, the word “faerie” is usually linked with cute little figures with wings, magick, bright colours and merry mischief. However, mention a Banshee, and people squirm. / The Banshee, like a ghost, can represent death to many people, but that is not her actual role in folklore, or in our lives. The Banshee from the Irish bean sí, or bean sidhe (“woman of the síde” or “woman of the fairy mounds”) is a female spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a messenger from the Otherworld. / According to legend, one Banshee guards each Milesian Irish family; these are the families whose names start with O’ or Mac, though those prefixes have often been dropped, particularly by American families. / Nonetheless, there is a Banshee for each branch of these families, and the family Banshee can follow the descendants to America, Australia, or wherever the Irish family travels or emigrates. / Her moarnful cry can be heard anywhere. / The Banshee protects the family as best she can, perhaps as a forerunner of the “Guardian Angel” in Christian traditions. However, the time we are most aware of her is before a tragedy that she cannot prevent. Meaning, that traditionally, the Banshee appears shortly before a death in “her” family. Despite her grim reputation, seeing or hearing a Banshee is not what actually causes the death. / The Banshee herself is traditionally a very kind woman, as poet and historian W. B. Yeats commented, “You will with the banshee chat, and will find her good at heart.” / Perhaps her appearance and wailing before a death are efforts to protect her family from a death or other tragedy that she foresees. Here I have depicted her in her guise as the young woman she once was, tho her eyes are red from centuries of weeping and she still cries black tears. / Behind her perched majestically on the clifftop, the ruined medieval Castle of Dunluce sits still, once home to the great irish families. / Forever loyal she guards the ruins, weeping at the loss of the great families. / / “There were originally five towers; there are now only two remaining: “Macuilin’s Tower” on the east side, which contains the remains of a staircase, and a smaller tower seawards called Mave Roe’s Tower; so called after Mave Roe, supposed by some to have been a relative of the MacQuillins, and by others, their banshee, or fairy spirit, whose wail, they say, is still heard above the winter’s storm, and who keeps the apartment scrupulously clean, expecting the return of the former owners.” – From Sketches of Olden Days in Northern Ireland by Rev. Hugh Forde some interesting reading- / Banshees / Irish faeries / celtic magick / wikipedia – banshee / Legend of the Banshee / Dunluce Castle / thankyou for taking the time to view my art and (hopefully) comment… / please have a look at my other artwork… / hope you enjoy! :) /

gravity tries to break you, to wear you down. / it’s so much easier to sink away into oblivion / then to constantly fight, to hold it together / and defy the winds, the rains, the weight / of your own existence, of time itself. / a floor caves in, a fire breaks out, / another day passes and you find yourself / further and further from / where you started and what you envisioned yourself as being. / what goes up must come back down again / but the reverse isn’t true at all. / what goes down often stays there. / it’s hard to imagine why algonquin river state hospital / obstinately resists the inevitable, why it refuses / to acquiesce and with one heaving sigh rejoin the earth, / to let go of its quixotic quest / to remind the world of what it once was, / what it could have and should have been. / no one wants to hear anyway. no one wants / to look at this gaping wound, this real-life parable / that clearly shows in irrefutable terms / that many times the good samaritan never arrives, / that glorious ambitions are sometimes left to bleed out / and rot away, exposed to the elements, without / even the decency of a burial, let alone a memorial. / for a brief time algonquin river state hospital took flight, / bouyed by the belief in the kirkbride ideal, the hope / that society could and would care for those who had been / stricken with some of the most cruel and baffling illnesses ever known, / those diseases that contort the soul, poison the heart and mind, and cripple even geniuses and saints. / think what you will of what came of the way these goals were approached - / this is what happens when those ideals crash back into the ground. / what goes up always comes down. / it’s the simplest law of nature. / -—-—-—-—-—-—-—- photo taken at algonquin river state hospital. / more of my work is on www.abandonedamerica.org

A Lion once fell in love with a beautiful maiden and proposed marriage to her parents. The old people did not know what to say. They did not like to give their daughter to the Lion, yet they did not wish to enrage the King of Beasts. At last the father said: “We feel highly honoured by your Majesty’s proposal, but you see our daughter is a tender young thing, and we fear that in the vehemence of your affection you might possibly do her some injury. Might I venture to suggest that your Majesty should have your claws removed, and your teeth extracted, then we would gladly consider your proposal again.” The Lion was so much in love that he had his claws trimmed and his big teeth taken out. But when he came again to the parents of the young girl they simply laughed in / his face, and bade him do his worst. Love can tame the wildest
