Love never claims it always gives; love never suffers, never resents, and never revenges itself. Where there is love there is life; hatred leads to destruction.

You may understand being unconsciously conscious but imagine now, if you will, being consciously aware of the unconscious. Stimulating us, perhaps we stimulating it, an energy exchange is occurring. We may begin to know about this. Some of you do.

The energy exchange occurs as waves of energy that flow through us and some sort of perhaps mechanism that establishes a coherence of energy particulars. I’m not going to develop that much further. Most scientist don’t know and science can’t exactly say what happens — and there is no need anyway for my purpose here. However, today, I want to share with you a program that describes energy exchanges between people and I’ll close with some thoughts on this.

For today, I…

TWO MAIN STORIES RELATED TO GENETICALLY MODIFIED INSECTS AND LABELING GMOs … IN FLORIDA

UK company Oxitec has withdrawn its plans to release GM olive and fruit flies in Spain and Brazil following human and environmental health questions from government regulators in the 2 countries.

BREAKING NEWS: GM olive fly applications withdrawn in Spain & Brazil. Oxitec, creator of GM flies, is unable to provide evidence of human health and environmental safety. These same concerns apply to Oxitec’s application to release GM mosquitoes in the Florida Keys – yet the FDA doesn’t seem to care.

GeneWatch UK today welcomed the withdrawal of Oxitec’s application to release millions of genetically modified (GM) olive flies in Catalonia, Spain. The withdrawal follows requests from the Catalan and Spanish regulators for further information.

“Today’s decision shows that regulators are starting to ask important questions about the impacts of releasing GM insects on…

There were a few snow flurries this morning.  Nothing major.  The cold weather is here.  I can’t help wishing it would snow a little more, if only so I can experience the awesomeness that is our local snowpocalypse reporting.

Portland isn’t used to snow.  At all.  When a few inches fall, everything grinds to a halt.  Traffic slows to a crawl.  Not only do schools cancel classes–churches cancel Sunday services, which is baffling to my religious midwestern friends.  And our local news kicks into breaking news mode worthy of a terrorist attack.

The reporters are out in force, braving the snowflakes, wrapped in arctic explorer coats, snow pants, hats and goggles.  They measure the snow with rulers, apparently never having been told that snowdrifts get blown around by the wind and so this probably isn’t the most accurate way to measure accumulation.  Winter drama ensues.  Cars slide off roads.  Kids…

We are in December, and I opened the back balcony door today, and saw the rose had opened, so I had to run and grab my camera. Well, changed lenses and filters first so as to take a macro shot.

As above,

so below.

I am singing ― Robert Fulghum, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. “Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Stryrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.”

I hope you open this in a browser so you get the full effect of the snow falling on these images. The Challenge was macro photography which I love because I can discover new worlds just by moving in close. The intimacy created with such attention give the mind and imagination a lot to play with. It Creates Wonder!

With the current technology (iPhone 4s) I was able to flip and edit it the images in minutes; something that once would have taken hours and days in the darkroom. Where do these images…
