One picture or more. From time to time. (28) Despre neputinta intr-o lume a instrainarii. About human helplessness.

Despre neputință într-o lume a înstrăinării.
About the powerlessness in a world of alienation.

In memory of my beloved Puiu Miță, july 2003 - 27.05.2019 

"Că  eu sunt bolnav, că tu ești bolnav, că suntem bolnavi, știm prea bine.
Că  eu mă pierd, că tu te pierzi, că ne pierdem, știm, din nou, prea bine.
Că tu ai uitat, că și eu uit,  că toti uitam - adesea, natural, se știe.
Că între toate acestea și simțirile din fire, se trage o fină linie,
ca un "à propos", subtil între indiferență și uitarea de sine,
ca între un dezolant "je m'en fiche de toi", etalat fără rușine, paradoxal
ca și cum eu aș râde de tine, tu de mine, haotic pană la apoplexie.
Că suntem bolnavi, că tu esti bolnav, că eu sunt bolnav
de atâta micime, de frica de a nu ne fi bine, între toate cele,
ce se pierd treptat în a vieții ipocrizie, că ne targuim vezi bine
cum să nu ne rătacim între extaz și agonie, între "sunt bine"
spus ca pentru sine, pentru a nu da de bănuit că ne prelingem,
de fapt, fără pic de vlagă și entuziasm, latent balans,
ca intre azi și ieri, între ieri și maine ce poate nu mai vine.
Că tu ești bolnav, că eu sunt bolnav, că suntem bolnavi, chiar, știm prea bine.
Si uităm nonșalant, să ne oferim acel răgaz pentru un pic de mai bună simțire.
Că toți uitam, că și eu uit, că și tu ai uitat cum mai e să fii, să exiști,
Dincolo de orice dram de rătăcire, pentru că din neștiință, toți ne putem pierde
Intre  indiferență, dezolare, uitare și înstrăinare... fireasca, umana, neputință."

"That I am ill, that you are ill, that we are ill, we know too well.
That I'm losing, that you are losing, that we are losing, we know, again, too well.
That you have forgot, that I've I've forgot, that, we all forget - often, of course, it is known.
As between, all these and the sensations in the threads, a fine line is drawn,
as an "à propos", so subtle between indifference and self-forgetfulness,
as between a desolate "je m'en fiche de toi", spread without shame, paradoxal,
as if I were laughing at you, you at me, chaotic until apoplexy.
That we are sick, that you are sick, that I am sick
of this scarcity, afraid of not being good, among all these,
what is gradually lost in the hypocrisy of life, 
that we negociate, in order to not lose ourselves between ecstasy and agony, 
between "I'm fine", saying this for itself, for not to give any suspicion, 
that we're complaining in fact, without a bit of strenght and enthusiasm, a latent balance,
as between, today and yesterday, between yesterday and tomorrow
 that it may no longer come.
That you are sick, that I am sick, that we are sick, indeed, we all know too well.
And we forget, nonchalantly, to give ourselves that respite for a feeling of better.
That, we all forget, that, I forget, that, you forgot how to be, how to live,
Beyond any wandering drama, because from ignorance, we all can lose

Between indifference, desolation, forgetfulness and alienation... the natural, but human helplessness. "

A mix of photo instants: February, March, 7 - March 9, 2019, SPRING 2019
*****
Motto: 
"Write it on your heart
Blue Lagoon, Sithonia, Greece, September 2019
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays."**

Acknowledge the pain and woundedness in another. 
Always offer help to another when possible. ❤️

Timeless (14) Sunday Thoughts...Gânduri de duminică ...

Late Sunday. Thoughts. Duminică seara. Gânduri.

Sunset of july.
I travel in what I could call this: a "speed of blogging"... through photos, images, through magical camera lens...

What easiest way to travel can you possible find, if not to travel through pictures, through images, incredible moments captured in time... moments for soul, for heart...

Time is passing quickly... time is relative, of course... nothing new... I mean, already, you've learned about the renowned theory of...

So, from this point of view, I think that we can all agree, that when it is possible to travel through your pictures or someone else's, we must be thankful for it...

This is what I believe... I'll never going to have enough time to see all the wonders in the world, so, when it comes to think of ways of travelling, then I do my research and I observe at others various ways! From a click, imagine... that we can travel so fast... in a magical way, almost, just like Twain or Verne have done it long ago... from sitting on their own chairs and tables and helped by tones of books...
I hope that it can be understand what I wanted to tell...


"Just thoughts"...  a "fortunate happenstance"... 
"Just thoughts"... a "fortunate happenstance" (serendipity)...  sunset in various moments in the first row... an up close look at... And different ways of imagining the same view/sight of reflection in the second row!...

From Did you know Category/ Știați că: 

"Serendipity * means a "fortunate happenstance" or "pleasant surprise". It was coined by Horace Walpole in 1754. In a letter he wrote to a friend Walpole explained an unexpected discovery he had made by reference to a Persian fairy tale, The Three Princes of Serendip. The princes, he told his correspondent, were “always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of”. Wikipedia 

The notion of serendipity is a common occurrence throughout the history of scientific innovation such as Alexander Fleming's accidental discovery of penicillin in 1928 and the invention of the microwave oven by Percy Spencer in 1945, the invention of the Post-it note by Spencer Silver in 1968.

The word has been voted one of the ten English words hardest to translate in June 2004 by a British translation company. However, due to its sociological use, the word has been exported into many other languages." 

"Etymology"
The first noted use of "serendipity" (meaning pleasant surprise) in the English language was by Horace Walpole (1717–1797). In a letter to Horace Mann (dated 28 January 1754) he said he formed it from the Persian fairy tale The Three Princes of Serendip, whose heroes "were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of". The name stems from Serendip, an old name for Sri Lanka (aka Ceylon), from Tamil Ceralamdivu, Sanskrit Simhaladvipa and Arabic Sarandīp (سرندیپ). Parts of Sri Lanka were under the rule of Tamil kings for extended periods of time in history. Kings of Kerala, India (Cheranadu) were called Ceran Kings and divu, tivu or dheep means island, the island belonging to the Chera King was called Cherandeep, hence Sarandib by Arab traders.

The structure of serendipity
Serendipity is not just a matter of a random event, nor can it be taken simply as a synonym for "a happy accident" (Ferguson, 1999; Khan, 1999), "finding out things without being searching for them" (Austin, 2003), or "a pleasant surprise" (Tolson, 2004) ..

The New Oxford Dictionary of English defines serendipity as the occurrence and development of events by chance in a satisfactory or beneficial way, understanding the chance as any event that takes place in the absence of any obvious project (randomly or accidentally), which is not relevant to any present need, or in which the cause is unknown.

Innovations presented as examples of serendipity have an important characteristic: they were made by individuals able to "see bridges where others saw holes" and connect events creatively, based on the perception of a significant link.

The chance is an event, serendipity a capacity. The Nobel Prize laureate Paul Flory suggests that significant inventions are not mere accidents." 
*Read more on wikipedia

Definitions of serendipity*
Noun: "the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.
a fortunate stroke of serendipity"
Synonyms: 
(happy) chance, (happy) accident, fluke, luck, good luck, good fortune, fortuity, providence, happy coincidence

Examples of Serendipity*
"What is lost, some say, is the experience of serendipity and the delight in finding things that you would not naturally seek out."
"Such serendipity is typical of a constantly surprising show whose overlapping paths continually come full circle."
"One of the nicest things about traveling is the part that serendipity plays in our adventures."
"The arts develop because of aptitude, talent, genius, hard work and serendipity."
"You might say this is serendipity , but you really have to make these things happen."

From Did You Know Category:

An interesting article that I've read, in november. I've chosen an excerpt from it and if you're interesting just click, below, to read about "writing " and to discover more info:

"But what is it about writing that calms the mind and helps us heal emotionally?

There are no solid answers but there’s plenty of research showing the human mind needs meaning — a story to make sense of what has happened.

Only then can it rest. Writing forces you to organize your thoughts into a coherent structure. It helps you make sense of life."
(...) 
"Switch perspectives. Those who benefit the most can see the event through other people’s eyes."*


What do you think about? It makes sense to you?

"Walking away"... sau impresii de departe în brumar?

Fond memories from the summer vacation!

Yes... too many photos were made (guess who's to blame for it) and... some of them (I must say it) seems to be so interesting (just because of the details captured), some are so funny, (some of them quite) so sensitive, so finally.... what can I say?

It's november already and I'm still sorting through vacation photos from a while, creating chapters (to simplify for the moment when I'll look for a specific detail, like place or time or whatever) and...

Finally (concluding): I have fond memories of these... photo instants captured by camera lens!!

Amintiri plăcute din vacanța de vară!


Da ... au fost făcute prea multe fotografii (ghici cine e de vină pentru asta) și ... unele dintre ele (trebuie să o spun) par atât de interesante (din cauza detaliilor capturate), unele sunt atât de amuzante, (unele dintre ele ) atât de sensibile, deci .... ce pot să spun?

E noiembrie deja și eu sunt încă la capitolul sortare,  printre fotografiile de vacantă, de ceva timp, creând capitole (pentru a simplifica în cazul în care voi căuta un detaliu specific, cum ar fi ceva legat de loc sau de timp sau orice altceva) și ...

În cele din urmă (ca o concluzie): Am amintiri plăcute legate de aceste momente ... foto instanturi capturate de lentilele camerei!!

Roads.

Da ... au fost făcute prea multe fotografii (ghici cine e de vină pentru asta) și ... unele dintre ele (trebuie să o spun) par atât de interesante (din cauza detaliilor capturate), unele sunt atât de amuzante, (unele dintre ele ) atât de sensibile, deci .... ce pot să spun?


Roads through memories.
Something about the travelling way:
Along the northwest part of the country on the railways, "a trip road" (like I called it...lol) into the "schlafwagen" for almost 13 hours ... how it sounds?! quite unbelievable... (but it's not yet the time to tell you more about this "too pricey" kind of traveling ... on "the iron wheels" with the pleasant melody sound as background, but ... a little too annoying or stressing the tiredness for the so long time spent on the way... 13 hours of train travel - just imagine this!!)
So... these are sensitive instants about I was talking above...




Places where I've been and what I saw, (from a blink of an eye), 
and about of what I'm hoping to have time (soon enough)  to create some pleasant posts.

Locuri unde am fost și ce am văzut, (intr-o clipire de ochi) 
și despre ceea ce am speranța de a găsi timp (destul de repede) pentru a realiza posturi plăcute...

“When faced with senseless drama, spiteful criticisms and misguided opinions, walking away is the best way to stand up for yourself. To respond with anger is an endorsement of their attitude.”    "Atunci când te confrunti cu o dramă absurdă, critici dușmănoase și opinii greșite, indepartarea este cel mai bun mod de a te manifesta. A răspunde cu furie este o aprobare a atitudinii lor. " Dodinsky
