About two years ago locals in Tampa shared with me a fascinating legend about why the city has never been hit by a major hurricane. According to the story, the Seminole Native Americans, who once inhabited this land, had their sacred burial grounds here. When the last of them were forced out of the area around 100 years ago, they are said to have cast a spell to protect these sacred grounds from harm.

The first time I heard this legend, I was captivated by its mystery, which left a seed of inspiration in me to create a mystical-realism project one day - ‘A City Under a Spell.’

As Hurricane Milton approached, I couldn’t help but think of this old story, wondering if, once again, we would be protected. As you now know, the storm that finally landed was far weaker than what had been predicted.

It makes you wonder—perhaps the legend is more than just a myth?

As we start a new day, let's remember to cherish each moment. Life is made up of these fleeting instances, and each one holds the potential for growth, connection, and beauty. Let's use this day to create meaningful moments, learn from our experiences, and appreciate the present.

GM! 💗

Rumi once said, "Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form." As we navigate the highs and lows of life, remember that change is the only constant. Instead of dwelling on loss, embrace the opportunities that arise from transformation.
Spent 80% of today in the here-and-now.

Feels so good to be present.

When deeply connecting with others nothing else matters.
Narration of a kiss!

Photo Caption: A couple kissing during a riot in Vancouver, Canada, 2011

The protagonists are Scott Jones and Alex Thomas, they were walking away from the city center when they got caught up in the protests. Alex fell to the ground after being hit by the protesters and pushed by the police, Scott was very nervous and angry when he saw him lying on the ground, he tried to calm him down and hugged and kissed him.

The contrast is so strong that many thought it was a montage, a performance or a brand campaign, but no: it's a single shot.

The photo immediately went viral and symbolized how two people who love each other can separate themselves from the world around them.

The riot occurred after the Stanley Cup ice hockey semi-final between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins.

Photographer Rich Lamm won the best news photo award at the Canadian National Newspaper Awards.

I am just so happy to be alive, with my maturing mind, in this aging meatsuit, in this time, looking onto the lush garden where I live, having found this channel just now.

Got it from a friend in Cape Town today and could stop staring at the screen… ❤️

Maybe this will speak to your heart too

Michael Angelo!

There is a statue within each human being that stands alone and waits.
Perhaps it is waiting for someone like Michael Angelo to pull it out of the darkness and bring it to light.

Stay away from dull people and strive to be your own Michael Angelo or surrender yourself to someone who can gift you light and brightness.

Greetings to the woman whose life and artistic path is correct and influential, for her face is towards light and brightness, @angelikakollin.
