Two cats circle the sacred Bael (or Bilva) tree's rough, fissured bark at Sri Ramanasramam, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India. Revered in Hinduism as a residence of the goddess Lakshmi, deity of wealth and prosperity, its leaves and fruit play a significant role in the worship of Shiva.
The Bael (or Bilva) tree is considered highly sacred in Hinduism. Revered as a residence of the goddess Lakshmi, deity of wealth and prosperity, its leaves and fruit play a significant role in the worship of Shiva. Two Ashram cats circle the tree's rough, fissured bark which is protected by a concrete-lined dirt planter. One has a distinctive black and white (tuxedo) coat pattern, and the other is a grey tabby with striped markings. A white decorative lattice screen is also visible in the background at Sri Ramanasramam, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Round and round
the centre I spin,
Leaving the without
to enter the within.
No beginning, no end,
just the breath,
Dancing through life,
dancing through death.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Come the Revolution, I hope to be able to return to America and see it in person. 💖

You'll find the other episodes at youtube.com/@fluggaenkoe...
Be warned though, it's totally surreal. 🥳
Promises, promises ... 😉
It was indeed The Wire which turned me onto Treme. The spicy mix of whip-smart dialogue, dense plotting and soulful music kept me hooked throughout.
Broke my heart when there was no Season 5. I often wonder what LaDonna Batiste-Williams is doing now!!!

As portrayed in the best TV series of 2010-13 ...

Incredibly beautiful in its starkness and spaciousness.
Love it, love it, love it ... 🦆
D-I-V-I-N-E 💖
Congratulations! Much-needed and, I hope, well-received. ❣️
Eh, history suggests it is ...
They would like to stay in business 🤐
Very close already

rays of light
and a salty scent

The psychodynamics themselves are intense, but it was the aesthetics which reminded me especially of your body of work. 💫
A barefooted Brahmin priest wearing a traditional Indian unstitched cotton dhoti (or veshti) and angavastram shawl with woven borders crosses an outdoor courtyard covered with textured red tiles. In the background, there is a large green-framed window with white grills. Sri Ramanasramam, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India maintains a Vedic school (Patasala) with an annual certificate course for young trainee priests. It focuses on the accurate memorisation, pronunciation and intonation of the Krishna Yajur Veda, consisting of prose mantras for worship rituals. Students also perform daily recitation of the Vedas in Bhagavan Sri Ramana's Samadhi Hall.
Black is the colour
of my true love's hair
His face so soft
and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
and the strongest hands
I love the ground
on where He stands

Relieved to see that none of your photos were lost, Gilbert. This one in particular is iconic 🇨🇵
3!
It immediately reminded me of the light penetrating the Newgrange chamber on the Winter solstice ... and you can't get a moment more right than that!!! 💫
Her jealousy of CMAT knows no bounds. I'm convinced she deliberately tries to be provocative in the delusional hope of being considered relevant. 🤮
Definitely on my must-read list with that recommendation ...
Ufffffffffffffffffff, I could look at that scene, Annette, for hours (if not days). ❣️❣️❣️
The timing, the lighting, the placement, the serendipity gives me as much joy viewing this image, Niamh, as it must have been for you taking it. 🥇
Sooooooo creative ❣️
American media consider those civilians murdered to be sub-human. 🤐
