Rain - Rain at Miyajima

Rain - Rain at Miyajima

"Rain at Miyajima" is from Gallery 5 of Japanese woodblock prints of an even broader site about An Eneabba Walkabout. Come one, come all, you will almost anything on this site.

The woodblock printmaker is Kawase Hasui (1883 – 1957). "He and Hiroshi Yoshida (1876-1950) are widely regarded as two of the greatest artists of the shin hanga style, and are known especially for their excellent landscape prints."

Today - No feel well

I did not feel well today, as I expected.

Donation to Holocaust Museum

One very important thing that I did was to make a donation to United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D. C. This is my first charitable donation to any cause in about four years.

"During the era of the Holocaust, German authorities also targeted other groups because of their perceived "racial inferiority": Roma (Gypsies), the disabled, and some of the Slavic peoples Poles, Russians, and others). Other groups were persecuted on political, ideological, and behavioral grounds, among them Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals."

"Whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world.." Talmud.

Assorted web work

When I was awake, I worked on the web site. Rearranged the order of the photos of Pensive Guys for Chris Rice, Rufus Wainwright, Elijah Wood and Thom Yorke.

I downloaded four priority security updates from Microsoft.

And I also read some blogs for the first time in several months.

Adding a Quote from Lawrence of Arabia's "Seven Pillars of Wisdom"
"Come and smell the very sweetest scent of all..."

Also added a quote " 'Come and smell the very sweetest scent of all...' " from T. E. Lawrence's "Seven Pillars of Wisdom."

From the first time I read this section. I've always been fascinated by the philosphy of finding the greatest pleasure in emptiness.
