Magnetoreception?

I have often pondered light and the workings of the human eye.

Last month I found the following link, and was intrigued:

Humans Might Have a Magnetic 'Sixth Sense'

An Exceptional Friend

"A boy can learn a lot from a dog: obedience, loyalty, and the importance of turning around three times before lying down." ~ Robert Benchley (1889 - 1945)

“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” ~ Anatole France

"I can imagine the anxiety Peter Pan felt when he lost his shadow." ~Angela Williams

“An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language.” ~ Martin Buber

With Hope

With continued prayers of peace and protection
for those who today are in the midst of violence.

Charcoal drawing

Since cropping was my inspiration for this drawing, I taped the edges before making too many marks. This worked well to keep the edges clean, although I did hold my breath as I lifted the tape.

With Prayers of Peace and Hope

It is unsettling when peaceful voices in need are met with disregard.

It is deeply disturbing when leadership attempts to stop those voices with violence.

This drawing is from an AP photo dated 02-17-11, and is of a woman outside a Bahrain hospital.

The 02-17-11 news article (with the source photo of the drawing) relayed the violent pre-dawn government response to peaceful camping protesters still asleep in Pearl Square, Bahrain.

I join many others in prayers of peace and hope for all people of Bahrain.

With unrest in so many countries today, this entry is posted with prayers of peace, hope, and guidance for leaders who listen to their people with wisdom, understanding, compassion, and Non-Violence.

I post this entry with prayers of hope for people who desire to peacefully express concerns, and with prayers of peace and protection for those people who today are in the midst of violence.

Memories of a November GoodBye

The memory is from a day in 2004.

The gleaned, "Trust through times of change," remains.

There is more to a story than one page.
