According to Buddha
Be bold and fear not.
It is fear that is the great cause of misery in this world.
It is fear that is the greatest of all superstitions.
It is fear that is the cause of our woes,
and it is fearlessness alone that brings heaven in a moment.
take a little walk to the edge of town
go across the tracks
where the viaduct looms
like a bird of doom
as it shifts and cracks
where secrets lie in the border fires
in the humming wires
hey man, you know

Beautiful reds and greens, Hedy. I like today’s quote. Have a wonderful day. Say warm. Cheers
yes I liked this wall Chris 🤓 ….it’s not Boston but it’s a cool district…hoping your week is going well…many smiles hedy
Great quote Hedy and a beautiful video (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Red Right Hand)!!!
💫thanks kindly Paulo so nice of you to comment…thank you! ❣️
Lovely, Hedy! Also an awesome piece by Nick Cave.
I’ve always appreciated Cave’s work…have a lovely day Brett ☺️✌️💫
This quote of Vivekananda made me think of the Bene Gesserit litany against fear (In Dune by Frank Herbert, 1965). The litany is as follows:
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
I suppose that all the red in your pictures refers to the Red Right Hand, an album that took its inspiration in the battle between good and bad as described in Paradise Lost by John Milton? Again; nicely open-ended puzzle.
where the fear has there is nothing…I appreciate that connection Urban…the red was in my hedy head gaze for our Friday foto walk…it was very fresh…it was a mitten walk…I’ve never read Milton’s twelve books…
this is an interesting listen for me as a dyslexic…it will take a while…thanks again for the thoughtful comments Urban…
‘heavens and earth raised out of chaos’……
With a touch of Barnett Newman 🙂 The reflexions in the last picture are great,
ahhhh yes I do like abstract expressionism…Newman classic ❤️ I guess I feeling the need some see the local spaces…but…it was very fresh…so I went for the red…the green made it fit the Little Italy district…yes the reflections also caught my eye…many red cars 😳…smiles from etown ~ hedy ✌️😊
i like the last one.
me too…I decided to photograph red that morning and I was amazed at all the red I saw 🤓 have a joyful day Gavin 💫
Here’s to being bold, Hedy – you exemplified it here! I just love that red. OK, and the green, too. All very energizing, which I think we need this time of year. How refreshing that you didn’t feel you had to mention the holiday. 😉 Have a great week!
I loved the red too ❤️ and yes it’s that time of year already…I feel time is different as I age…it goes so fast…been thinking a lot about time and space these days….you have a beautiful week too…I’ve so enjoyed your photography and narratives Lynn…have a productive day ☺️🤓💫
Thanks Hedy….time and space….simple little preoccupations. 😉
😂😂😂 simple and little indeed…I’m starting Carlo Rovelli ‘The Order of Time’…smiles 🤓☺️
And where did I read recently that space is fundamental, and time derives from it as a way to divide space, or something to that effect?
I don’t know…but according to Rovelli time doesn’t really exist…it is a lingering thought…fun to think on…🤓
I like that (as someone who’s been time-challenged all my life)….will take a look at Rovelli, thanks Hedy!
well some say that’s the beauty of time…there is always more of it…🤓 have a productive and fun day ☺️💫
Green, white and red… Very subtle. And well done. 🙂
I can be subtle…sometimes ☺️🤓 sending you joy 💫 smiles too!
Joy received, thank you.
Smiles back. 🙂
Pure minimalism. Like the idea and the way you captured these images. Smiles to you, Hedy! Reinhold
☺️🤓 yes I enjoyed photographing this space….it was next to a pizza restaurant…also delicious ☺️💫 smiles hedy
