"...creation is ALWAYS the successful resolution"

top image is of the insect when first encountered after a rainy night...the next image is of another giant rainbow which was only visible for about 40 seconds, the camera was handy...the next image is of the same insect after some of the water drops were knocked off it...the bottom image is of shattered glass....which is how my mind feels occasionally....

 in the last couple of weeks or so i have encountered some very stimulating ideas from the internet and reading some great articles in the "new york review of books"...an especially stimulating presentation from "the silent thinker" entitled "Spinoza explains why guilt is the oldest disease of the spirit" (34 min)..i don't know why i have not read more of this humble lens grinders ideas...this poor guy was thrown out of his jewish church and it was forbidden for anyone to speak to him...he was way too intelligent to be sucked into the very flawed world view that was being propose at the time...he died at the age of 44 probably due to glass dust in his lungs...mr steven west on "Philosophize this!" has a couple of interesting segments on Spinoza also...another radical presentation i encountered (i doubt if any of these youtube presentations i encounter are strictly random chance) ... "What does lying do to your energy field?" the hidden library (20 min) this view astounded me...and makes sense on several levels...and "Living with synchronicity: Marie-Louise von Franz and C.G. Jung " (the Jungian Aion) 38 min...some excellent learned commentary is presented regularly by Sabine Hossenfelder with her "bullshit" meter "Is it pointless now to fight climate change?" and "What the HELL is wrong with Europe"...ouch!...i always like to see what "Animalogic" and Danielle Dufoe has to offer and i was especially pleased with her "Andean Cat- the rarest cat in the world" these tiny felines eat a lot of viscachio? which look like a sad rabbit...i worked at a place that had several of these animals which are strictly forbidden in the USA...also the veterinarian at the N.O. zoo after much research figured out how to do artificial insemination in felines....this might be of some interest to these rare cat conservationist...also Ms. Defoe said something i have never heard anyone say....which is that people might want to get a game camera and set it up at night to see what critters are around...i think more citizen science would help the professionals with more information...much as the large population of birders have become an important source of information for bird conservationists... i looked at a lot of music videos...with the recent death of Jimmy Cliff one of the better known "island" music performers i came across Ernest Ranglin the so called inventer of reggae and ska , a very good guitar player...more later past my bedtime...."
