Well, Milano is empty. Everyone is at the beach for the rest of August. One can actually find a parking spot... but then, most stores are closed...
Looking at Picasso's picture of a sleeping beauty, I realize it was made exactly 52 years ago, a magical number for me this year.
At least it says so on the picture "9.8.52 XXII"
(In Europe that's August 9th)
At 22h (10pm. that is), I'll ... More >

Emperor Ming wrote about dead Weblogs.
I guess, this one qualifies for this in the moment, oh well. Or, better: bad, bad, bad..
I promise betterment!
For most people, according to Ming's blog entry, it seems they don't write when they're at home. More when they travel.
For me, it's the opposite. I just don't find the time to write. And, I was traveling all the time since last November.
Missing out on all the cool action in LA, like at the post-Skywork parties!
Now that I settled down in Nizza for the rest of the summer, I find some time finally for this :-)
Nizza, or Nissa, is Nice in France.
And nice it is! It feels a bit like the Copacabana in Rio here. Except everything here is about 5-10 times more expensive.
I'm sitting here in La Queenie, a bar & restaurant with free! WiFi access, live music, and everything. Unfortunately it closes between 2 or 3 in the morning.
For the past weeks I was working on some other kind of 'Logs' - not Weblogs, no: the 'Logs of JD Flora'!!!
Hard, hard work, you know me all how hard I work, surely!
It will be, guess what,... More >

Today we went to the other side of the isle of Avalon, crowned by the Tor. Our guide was Alan Royce, a local expert in the sacred geometry and energy lines and fields around the Somerset area.
"Strange" he said, "no buzzards today." I asked Alan where he would suspect the entrance to Merlin's palace of glass would be. He answered "right there where the three doves are circling. Strange, no buzzards today. Usually, there are plenty."
We went down the hill. It would have been submersed by water back then, thousands of years ago. Depending on the tide, only for certain brief moments one could have entered the castle of Merlin. A black-and-white rabbit sat in that place... More >

Merlin's archetypal forces are still roaming this world, even though some say he would be staying at his glass castle underneath the 'Tor' in Glastonbury/Somerset (see picture).
See a summary at GeZi's BLOG.
Is he the true Avatar? You answer this for yourself,hehe.. I for myself.. More >

Today, right in time it seems, the definition of Nephelokokkygia reached me via Merriam-Webster's super-excellent Word-of-the-Day e-mail.
Nephelokokkygia means literally 'Cloud-Cuckoo-Land'. It is a fictious land between heaven and earth. Someone (a human) had the great idea to intercept all the sacrifices made to the gods and to coax them into cooperation by starving them. Splendid idea, except it didn't work out that well in the end..

Just got (too late, sigh!) the following (by June Collier):
"The New Moon, April 19, 2004, is a partial Solar Eclipse and the second New Moon in Aries this year, it occurs at the last degree (29 Aries 49) of this first sign.."
and..
"The last 10 degrees of Aries or the 3rd Decanate has for its rulership Aries/Sagittarius ruled by Mars/Jupiter. It is the decanate of PROPAGANDA. It is mapped in the starry night sky by the constellation PERSEUS, with the wings of thought on his feet, the helmet of courage on his head, armed with the sword of righteousness, protected by the shield of beneficence, and holding the blood-dripping head of Medusa in one hand."
How patriarchical-chauvinistical, oh well... glad it's over by today.. More >

While walking thru drizzle and mist, I contemplate the various peakstates of my dreary existence, comparing them to the impressive list made by the Institute for the Study of Peak States. Is that happiness, or what?.. More >

I was looking for the name of the Grove that lead to the Underworld in the cult series 'Twin Peaks'.
What I found, much to my utter surprise, was the target of my next trip: Glastonbury, home of the Scarlet Jewel... More >

Today I joined Emperor Ming and his daugher Princess Maria-Theresa to the movies.
What is fitting for 'Good Friday' (as the Americans call the day before Eastern - hey, someone MUST have had a good time there after all!!! NOT!?)?
Well, you already guessed it: Mel Gibson's attempt of depicting 'The Passion of The Christ'.
One of the interesting parts (for me), was the way the movie starts with a zoom into the Garden of Gethsemane from outer space & above the clouds... More >

I tried to remember how the name of this BLOG came about in the first place (It's not as obvious as it appeared later, hehe)..
So, resting my heels and pulminaries in Toulouse, France, at the Palace of Emperor Ming (you got that link by now, OK!?) , I found the original story that lend its name to this BLOG...
How A Great Little Lion Finally Found A Sacred Grove
A long, long time ago, in a future long forgotten, there lived a Little Lion who wanted to be the greatest of all the greatest Little Lions of all times. He worked very hard but... More >
