New Moon




Last night I needed a pick me up- so, clearly, I decided the best route to sweet dreamies was a dose of Rivers and Tides by the most enlightened individual I've come across...


It's unbelievable that after watching that movie at least once a week for the bast four years or so I still notice little things each time that I'm certain I hadn't noticed before. I would like to attribute that to his intricate details and I'm less inclined to admit that I'm rarely more than have lucid when I watch, but regardless of the honest negotiated point of my existence between those two possibilities, nothing explains what I saw last night: before the first scene in which we are introduced to andy's family, there is an unbelievable frame with a lunar eclipse (i think it's an eclipse, if it's not, they should re-define what a lunar eclipse is) and in the course of the moon's journey, we see two of andy's circles change colors, go invisible and then go vibrant white, and it i fucking incredible! How did i not notice that amazing brilliance and planning and stellar construction in the myriad viewings prior? Bizarre!

smart people

Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.
Anton Chekhov (1860 - 1904)

All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.
Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662)

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

You do not merely want to be considered the best of the best. You want to be considered the only ones that do what you do.
Jerry Garcia

There is no remedy for love but to love more.
Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862), Journal, July 25, 1839

Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.
Voltair

Wow-me canal-me













Herengracht
= ‘’Gentleman's Canal’’
The section of this canal which runs from Leidsestraat to Vijzelstraat is known as the ‘Golden Bend’. The most beautiful and most magnificent of all canal houses are located in this bend of the canal. A lovely example is the house on the corner with Leidsegracht. It features a beautiful Dutch classicist clock gable. The house is named after the plaque featuring four knights on horseback (Vier Heemskinderen). Several of the other houses sport family coats of arms.



Keizersgracht = ‘’Emperor's Canal’’

From number 40 Keizersgracht you see four warehouses where once 100,000 liters of cod liver oil were stored. Behind number 100 you see Cultural Center De Rode Hoed (The Red Hat). Number 123 is the ‘House with the Heads’. Legend has it that the maid caught six burglars red-handed and beheaded them with an axe. Number 546 boasts one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful clock gables.

A plaque in the wall of number 560 reminds us of the fact that writer/lawyer Jacob van Lennep lived here from 1830 until his death in 1868. Van Lennep is responsible for supplying the city with clean drinking water from the dunes. As a result, the poor people no longer had to drink the polluted water from the canals.



Prinsengracht = ‘’Prince's Canal’’
Some of the houses on this canal are very old indeed. The Papeneiland pub at number 2 dates from the 17th century! Holland’s first professional school for nurses, the Prinsengracht Hospital, is also located along this canal. The Wallon Orphanage stands at the corner with Vijzelgracht. The building’s wing on Prinsengracht dates from 1726.

The Prinsengracht also boasts a church, the St. Willibrord Church. It is better known as De Duif (The Pigeon). Number 808 features a porcelain tile with an advertisement for an insurance company. Reckless people meet with misfortune while the more cautious types – predictably – find fortune.

Daffodils




"Daffodils,
That come before the
swallow dares, and take
The winds of March
with beauty"
- William Shakespere,
The Winter's Tale

Today, people associate the bright,
yellow daffodil as a symbol of rebirth —
a sign of the new beginnings that come with spring.
Indeed, the daffodil is the birthday flower for March,
the month in which the spring equinox begins.
Daffodils are said to bring good fortune to the person who avoids trampling on them.
Lest they bring unhappy vanity to the bride, daffodils should never be present at a wedding.

They generally should be understood as saying:
"the sun is always shining when I'm with you."

This gentle sign cannot hurt your directly, it is their weaknesses that can scramble your brains. The majority of Pisces people are kind and gullible.The young Pisces are adventurous, ambitious, impulsive, enthusiastic and full of energy. The Pisces are pioneers both in thought and action, very open to new ideas and a lover of freedom. These people possess a curiously natural understanding, which they do not obtain from books or study. They easily acquire, or rather absorb, knowledge, especially of the history of countries, travel, research, and like subject.

Although by nature generous, yet they are usually over-anxious about money matters, and inclined to worry about what their future position in life may be. This state of mind is largely due to their dislike and dread of being dependent on others more than from any love of money.If, however, persons born in this part of the year find some purpose worth living for, they rise to the emergency as no others can. These are the people that one meets sometimes in Life who surprise their friends by their sudden change of character. Pisceans are shy. Other people think they are mysterious, or just confused...

but a Pisces can sort out other people's troubles.

All people who were born in this sign are highly emotional.


Your personality is a combination of all the zodiac signs .

You may be a musically or artistically gifted person,

and creativeness is inherent in you.

You are a great empathiser, always knowing how someone else is feeling.

That makes a good counselor and a sensitive lover from you.

Occasionally you enjoy solitude
and like to get away from everyone
and stay alone
in order to regain your senses.
