Learn to recognize the point of equilibrium, where all the unresolved elements in the composition seem to hang in the balance. On this point of not-knowing, of uncertainty, of irresolution, pause. Put the thing down. Do something else for a while. When you come back, pretend to be doing something else for a while. Then actually do something else.

Is that smoke?

Is it me, or does the sun have a strange apocalyptic hue this morning? endtimes: image via Helen Ingram @drhingram, 16 October 2017

Living in End Times

Miriam keeps saying

we are living in End Times

Tom Pacheco left a telephone message the other day.

He said, “I just want to say one thing—

It seems like we’re living

in the Ends of Time now

There’s a sense of apocalypse

that so many people are feeling—

from the fires in California,

the hurricanes, an insane man

as president who seems like he is

going to blow his top

& take the world with him.

“It’s a horrible time all over the world.

It’s really scarey. It’s dangerous times,

I sense it every where I go,”

said Tom Pacheco

We are living in End Times

o Lord

So much cruelty & violence

So much chaos & shackles

So much warfare & killing

Too Much Too Much Too Much Too Much

o Lord

o Lord o Lord o Lord

How much Human is still in us humans ? | by People & Street Guy

How much human is still in us humans? The fact that there are people who need to procure food for survival in the rubbish of our prosperity is a sad certainty. But how deep we are sunk that we watch idly that this struggle for survival is taking place in the midst of densely populated cities? Is it not our damn duty and obligation, no matter which nation, to prevent this and to help? Anyone who can look at such scenes without guilty feelings can not call himself a "human".: photo by Carsten Osterwald, 7 June 2017

Drugs all over the world | by People & Street Guy

Drugs all over the world.
I stood on a bridge and waited.
He asked me for fire.
I asked him if I could photograph him. He nodded.
He lit his self-made drug whistle, tipped after 2 moves to the side and sank into nowhere.
