Winter Whimsical Owl Art

Ideas and Advice for How To Live a Joyful and Empowered Life.

This is another art trading card painting I did back in 2006 with acrylics and colored pencil.

I love owls. My daughter got off work one night and there was a big light-colored one standing on a car two cars away looking at her. Her co-worker took a picture and she sent it to me – she was so excited.  I would have been too!  I still haven’t seen one in real life (possibly at a zoo a long time ago but I don’t remember).  Hoping I’ll get a chance meeting with one someday.  🙂

Monuments at Stonehenge and Avebury

English History

Book 1,Chapter 2, Pre 55 BC – The Early Britons – Continued

Besides what has been advanced, they could not have been absolute savages, who reared those gigantic and wondrous monuments, which the hand of Time during eighteen centuries has not been able to destroy. Mere brute strength could not have lifted up rough pillars at Stonehenge and Avebury, or the various “cromlechs” still existing in various parts of the land. Some acquaintance with mechanical laws and forces must have been possessed by those who erected the piles, whenever they were reared, and for whatever purposes they were used. Their design and use have been matters of conjecture for a period of at least seven hundred years. Henry of Huntingdon, who wrote in the early part of the twelfth century, gave a list of British wonders, among which Stonehenge occupies the second place. He says, “At Stanhenges, stones of…

The fine art of being present: A Chaplain’s call for the spiritual connection with front line cops – CRAIN’S COMMENTS

Ethics and compassion belong among first responders, they belong among business managers, among politicians — it’s rather hard to find a place where they don’t belong. In saying this we are not pushing a certain set of values on anyone, save respect for all human life and the varied challenges that everyone faces. We are, as Dickens wrote, “fellow travelers to the grave” and our job is not to make life any harder for one another than it is. In the end, wealth, power, all of that falls away and what’s left that people remember is what good you have done, if any.

Black Flag movement to Gantz: Time has come to replace Netanyahu – The Jerusalem Post

Anti-Netanyahu protesters at Bilu Junction, Saturday, December 12, 2020. (Credit: Black Flag movement) “The situation is ripe for replacing Netanyahu. It’s the duty of everyone who sees the endless damage being left behind by the defendant. The State of Israel needs a new prime minister, one who’ll allow us to come out of this unmanaged coronavirus crisis, one who’ll stop constantly dividing us.
“The idea of Gantz extending Netanyahu’s reign is terrible, unbearable. We need a different prime minister – not more of the same endless failure,” the Black Flag statement noted.
