Osânda – ore de drum

Trogir, 2022

La plecarea din Split, să ne abatem printr-un orășel cu abia treisprezece mii de locuitori inclus pentru centrul său istoric în Patrimoniul Mondial UNESCO. Asemenea multor locuri sfinte din perimetrul creștin apusean, mai ales de influență italiană, catedrala a fost închinată Sfântului Laurențiu, martir roman din secolul 3, dar este cunoscută pe plan local drept a Sfântului Ioan de Trogir, episcop care a sfârșit apărându-și-o, în 1170, în fața regelui ungur Coloman, doritor să-și extrindă teritoriul.

Edificarea lăcașului actual, pe locul vechii biserici, s-a întins din secolul 13 până în 17, iar portalul principal, terminat în 1240, elementul cel mai bine păstrat al ansamblului și cel mai surprinzător, a fost sculptat de maestrul Radovan, un artist din localitate. Întreaga operă cu personaje și figuri e un întreg univers care încadrează venerabila ușă.

Pe cei doi lei, străjeri de nădejde ai intrării, sunt cocoțați Adam și Eva, osândiți la părăsirea paradisului, temători, stingheri, neștiind pe ce lume se află.

Nu știm de ce artistul n-a ținut cont că Eva a fost zămislită din coasta lui Adam, întrucât a dotat-o cu buric…

Álbum de fotografias – O Outro Lado

O cabelo, da avó –
enrolado no alto da cabeça, preso
sem nenhum fio suspenso

O olho perdido, distante
como quem busca por uma palavra
Família.

Todos enfileirados em pose
para mostrar a essência –
do sobrenome que todos
carregavam.

Em preto e branco,
o momento registrado

Faz companhia ao neto
em noites de insônia
Memória futura – vasculhada
nas gavetas da estante da sala.

Look After Yourself Friday – Belladonna’s Flashlight

If you don’t look after yourself, then who will?

Is it me, or does it seem like so many people are needy? Like the type of needy where they are associating themselves with people that they so-called couldn’t stand because they were thought to be childish and clingy.

But they would rather shrink themselves and be with them then be alone.

The other day, a friend of mine sent me a picture of a group of people who used to talk so badly about each other, but now, all of a sudden, they’re friends. But I noticed that they are all with each other because they have nothing better going on.

So, instead of elevating themselves, they have chosen to stay where they are because that place is comfortable and familiar, not to mention it’s also the bottom of the barrel.

These women have chosen to go to restaurants and each other’s homes to twerk rather than act like they have sense.

As I looked at the pictures and videos that were sent to me, I couldn’t help but think that most of these women are mothers and wives. Not to be confused with mothers that put their kid’s best interests first or wives that are worth a damn. 

It’s so obvious that they formed a friendship because no one decent wants to hang out the way they do and conduct themselves in public as they do.

So they allowed this needy nature to take over and sink to the lowest of low together!

They are genuinely choosing not to look after themselves, and because of how foolish they look, I’m motivated more than ever to continue to look after myself.

How I’m Looking After Me Today

I will be moving my recent Spelman graduate into her dorm today so she can complete her dual degree in Environmental Engineering. Then, my husband and I will enjoy a nice steak dinner by candlelight as we sip on a glass of red wine.

On Saturday, my husband, daughter, and I will journey to my son’s college to watch his preseason football practice.

How are y’all looking after yourself this weekend?

Oh, and in case you don’t know what twerking is, here ya go. I hate this damn dance so much!

You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!
