  from neighbouring garden, a constant yearround stream of water comes out of the pipe, plunges into the waterbasin (for animals to drink from) and the drops spread widely around it. This is early morning, it was freezing during the night. ( i think i went back after taking the first photo, the sun has come out and so colors are much livelier). |

It seems similar but I am not sure! Wonderful! Especially the first one! |

This is early morning, it was freezing during the night. ( i think i went back after taking the first photo, the sun has come out and so colors are much livelier). I had posted this on another thread once, it immediately came to my mind -- quote from a C.S. Lewis book (the Great Divorce): "It was the light, the grass, the trees that were different; made of some different substance, so much solider than things in our country that men were ghosts by comparison. Moved by a sudden thought, I bent down and tried to pluck a daisy which was growing at my feet. The stalk wouldn't break. I tried to twist it, but it wouldn't twist. I tugged till the sweat stood out on my forehead and I had lost most of the skin off my hands. The little flower was hard, not like wood or even like iron, but like diamond. (...) As I stood, recovering my breath with great gasps and looking down at the daisy, I noticed that I could see the grass not only between my feet but through them. I also was a phantom." : ) |

Some people were given a chance to see the other world and there they met the inhabitants of that world who tried to talk to them about their (the visiting ones') mistakes while they were living on earth. But most of them didn't get it... I had liked the descriptions of this other world. If I come across a link I will add here, I had read it online but that page disappeared I think. |

If I come across a link I will add here, I had read it online but that page disappeared I think. sounds like astral worlds to me...aurobindo descibes them...humanlike beings but not in the flesh (astral bodies)(astral=vital) there seem to be many such worlds, some quite beautiful, and timeless... this sprang to mind A perfect picture in a perfect frame, This faery artistry could not keep his will: Only a moment's fine release it gave; A careless hour was spent in a slight bliss. Our spirit tires of being's surfaces Transcended is the splendour of the form; It turns to hidden powers and deeper states. So now he looked beyond for greater light. His soul's peak-climb abandoning in its rear This brilliant courtyard of the House of Days, He left that fine material Paradise. His destiny lay beyond in larger Space. savitri-sri aurobindo epub p 94 |

Nice!
Strange thing for me is it's like how it is described in the book - deeper state is more concrete. Sometimes I say to myself, a small 'connection' to a (a what??)... a 'wave of intent' maybe, is much stronger than events of this world. And sometimes it is the only evidence that something *is* happening.. but it's just me and it is so only for today : )

Spirit is everywhere simultanuously. This fuels a tearing away of the veil every now and then. or something like that...  |

I remember fog and ice.. the ice pic is from last year, snow has been on the mountains, but at the moment has thawed...here we almost never get snow, though it freezes lightly during februari nights, sometimes. Right now it is quite chilly, no clouds, i need to light the fireplace.Must be around midnight overthere? here its 22.22 hrs. (london--lisbon time). Dog just came in all excited, he saw a pig and is eager to chase it--i wont let him... this one is from my upper window, similar view almost daily, the river (rio alva) is under the clouds, about 200 m straight down.)  |

Is all the whiteness a river? must be quite big.. but it's like fog, too.. (it's past midnight, 00.32) |
