From 1918

I am the savior of my soul.

The god of my mind.

The sculpter of my physicality and strength.

The creator of my future.

The example for my descendants.

And in the end, what I was in life will be the only necessary testament for my worldview.

The older I get the more I yarn for wild nature, because that’s where the real magic is found, that’s where my soul feels alive. I can’t understand those who live in remote rural villages close to the wild nature, and somehow find it boring, and even dream of moving to an urban city. I feel opposite of that. How can you find wild natural areas boring? There’s so much to see, so much to explore, so much to learn. All of the colors, aromas, all of the beauty, so much life. Being in wild nature can help you be closer to earth.

We are led to believe that these remarkable structures were made using copper chisels.

For centuries, there have been efforts to obscure the truth about our history, with the intention of preventing us from realizing our true potential. The enemy dedicates immense resources to maintain this deception, fully aware of the power that lies in understanding our past.

Sisteron is a village that immediately catches your attention. From it's dramatic positioning between two steep hills, the views of the Rocher de la Baume rock, it's medieval architecture, and quaint small village worthy of adding to your list of " must sees" in France.

Another view from atop Chatfield Hill, this one looking NE back over the Columbia toward the Klicklitat River Valley which can be seen in the distance. The steep hill is covered with Carey's Balsamroot, Broadleaf Lupine and Indian Paintbrush - hummingbirds in profusion on the latter. Quite a magical place🧙‍♂️

CASTLE LEOD, 12-17th century, near Strathpeffer in the east of Ross-shire in the Scottish Highlands, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
It is a category A listed building.
The castle is the seat of the Clan Mackenzie, and is believed to have been built on the site of a very ancient Pictish fort from before the 12th century. The castle was granted to John of Killin, 10th Chief of Clan MacKenzie (1485-1561) after he fought at the Battle of Flodden. The current castle is the result of work carried out in the early 17th century by Sir Roderick Mackenzie.
The castle has remained the seat of the Earls of Cromartie ever since.

In the Saga of Olaf Tryggvason, Thor creates storms by blowing through his beard.
When Raud the Strong found himself outnumbered against Olaf’s ships, he called out to Thor; “‘raise thou against them thy beard's voice.’ Then went they out, and Thor blew hard into his beard, and raised his beard's voice. Immediately there came ill-weather against the king so strong, that he might not hold out at sea.”
The terms used for wind in the Saga are skeggrödd and skeggraust; beard-voice. The famous Eyrarland Thor statue is thought to depict Thor blowing through his beard.
