A Vivid Manifestation
“If love is under siege, it is because it threatens the very essence of commercial civilization. Everything is designed to make us forget that love is our most vivid manifestation and the most common power of life that is in us. Shouldn’t we wonder how the lights that glimmer in the eye can blow a fuse for a time, even as barriers of oppression break and jam our passions? Yet despite a life stunted and distorted by mediated Spectacle, nothing has ever managed to strip love of its primal force. Although the heart’s music fails to overwhelm the cacophony of profit efficiency, bit by bit it composes our destinies, according to tones, chords, and dissonances which render us happy if only we learn to harmonize the scattered notes that string emotions together.” — Raoul Vaneigem
Oh my, what a beautiful image!!! And, this is a wonderful quote that resonates with me. Thanks for sharing both!!
Thanks, and my pleasure, Monte.
WOW! You guys are so far ahead of us it’s unbelievable! Very nice shot, Earl.
Thank you, Ken. I think we’re several weeks ahead of where we’d typically be, as if there is a norm anymore. Haha!
That’s beautiful! I’ve never seen one before
Eventually, the entire center unfolds, and it blossoms into a beautiful sight. However, it ages and fades quickly, so that each bloom is only at its peak for perhaps a day or two. We have thought this Clematis vine to be dead a couple of times, but it keeps coming back to surprise us.
This is so beautiful! Love is what we’re here for it’s why we exist
Thank you!
