Well, the inevitable has come. D-day is here. Livejournal no longer allows other than Russians on their feed.
My account has become completely blocked from view to other journalers. I watched the whole thing deteriorate,
bit by bit, day by day, first one thing, then another, Russian digital Government ID registered by Sber bank.
Putin's wall of secrecy, erected the new cold war, ejected the foreign participants, only to restrict the
input of world participants. LJ was once world wide. Anyone was once welcome to sign up on Livejournal,
now only Russians are allowed to participate. I know how that feels, after 20 years of 44,000 posts, I am being
blocked from access to my own journals. Russia stole my content, Putin owns my music playlists. In order
to bring them over to Dreamwidth, I would need to copy and paste the posts, one page at a time. Let the journey begin !!

We live in a broken world.
I mourn for the souls who struggle with life;
We have lost touch with ourselves.
Hello? Hello? Nobody on the phone.
Please leave your message after the tone;
Is this the person with whom I am speaking?
Typewriter’s broken, out of ink.
Is this the person to whom I am typing?
Is this the customer you are trying to reach?
Please, leave a message after the tone.
Sorry, but there is no one at home.
No longer anyone at this number.
There is no longer any listing
No such zone. No listing for that name,
Would you like to purchase more time
Your camera is out of memory,
I’m stuck in a loop trying to fill in my online form
That won’t recognize my password.
You are no longer allowed to roam
Stuck in the 15 minute city,
No longer do we meet face to face,
We just text. Our téte à téte
Is now text å text. I dread
To think what will come next.
Google is the place you call home
When in doubt, you’re alone
ET, phone home…
Everybody texting, nobody listening;
Look at me! I’m a selfie! ~psp

I have come to realise that Dreamwidth is essentially void of music. Why is that?
Is no one here musically inclined? My other resolve is to be a wordsmith.
That's what I do, drink coffee, journal and listen to music. ♫¸.•*¨♥✿♪

Edward Steichen was a key figure of twentieth-century photography, directing its development as a prominent photographer and influential curator.

According to author and art historian William A. Ewing, Steichen became one of the earliest "jet setters", constantly moving back and forth between Europe and the U.S. by steamship, in the process cross-pollinating art from Europe to the United States, helping to define photography as an art form, and at the same time widening America's understanding of European art and art in general.

Starbucks is closed for repair
With non-stop line ups out the door
Now all those customers and me
Need to find another place to be,
To simmer; a new slough to brew
It spreads out by radius,
One coffee house at a time
The next closest stop is full, as is the next
And the next, and the next and the next
And pretty soon I’m 2 km away from my nest.
Trying to get my java fix,
A mix of old seniors and young students and working stiffs,
What a busy planet! All around our local Starbucks
Which is a busy coffee house,
Which is closed for repair.
Finally, I found a spot that wasn’t full
About 2 miles away, and over brimming at the cup.
I’m tired of watching attractive young girls
Eating tofu and strawberries
And coffee house air conditioning
Freezing my brain and driving me out. ~psp

Floriography, or the language of flowers, is a cryptological method of communication using flowers and floral arrangements to convey coded messages, particularly during the Victorian era.

Many plants serve as powerful cultural symbols, representing a wide range of values and emotions:

* Rose: Universally symbolizes love and passion, especially the red rose in Western traditions, with roots tracing back to Roman mythology and Venus.

* Lily: The white lily represents purity and innocence, a meaning codified in the Victorian era and linked to Christian iconography and the Virgin Mary.

* Lotus: A profound symbol of purity, enlightenment, and rebirth in Eastern traditions like Buddhism and Hinduism, representing spiritual awakening rising from muddy waters.

* Oak: Embodies strength, wisdom, and endurance, associated with Zeus and Jupiter in Greco-Roman mythology and revered in Celtic traditions.

* Sunflower: Symbolizes happiness, loyalty, and adoration, its face turning toward the sun representing the pursuit of light and positivity.

* Cherry Blossom (Sakura): In Japanese culture, it signifies the ephemeral nature of life, beauty, and renewal, celebrated during the spring hanami festivals.

* Bamboo: In Chinese and Japanese cultures, it represents integrity, resilience, and flexibility, admired for its ability to bend without breaking.

* Willow: Often linked to grief and mourning, especially in Western cemeteries, but also symbolizes flexibility and resilience due to its supple branches.

* Ivy: Represents loyalty, friendship, and eternal life, its clinging nature symbolizing enduring connection and devotion.

* Cypress: A traditional symbol of mourning and eternal life, commonly planted in Mediterranean and Christian cemeteries.

These plants form a small part in a “language of flowers” (floriography) used historically to convey complex feelings and are still prevalent in art, literature, and rituals today.

Roses have many symbolic meanings in chivalrye and charity:

* Red Roses: Passion, romantic love, and desire.

* White Roses: Virtue, chastity, and innocence.

* Yellow Roses: Friendship, devotion, or infidelity (depending on the context).

* Black Roses: Death, darkness, or hatred.

Two of the most commonly seen plant symbols which endure beyond romance are the laurel and the olive.

Laurel:



Symbolises male energy, victory, and action. It is linked to Apollo and the laurel wreath awarded at the Pythian Games. In the 4th degree (Secret Master), it signifies the hopeful expectation of success and victory over the passions.

Olive:



Symbolises female energy, peace, and stillness. It is associated with the goddess Athena and the olive wreath awarded at the Olympic Games. The olive branch, often depicted with a dove, is a universal emblem of peace.

Forgive, love, heal in community.
Am I... nothing?
All the more power to you.
You can’t be your own best friend. You need friends to hold you.
The enemy is real. His every word is just a lie,
that love is conditional.
Control, approval; However...
We love because God’s Love is unconditional ! Open arms..
He shall hold a feast, in the presence of your enemies
The devil is real; the devil is evil
Tell him something he well knows
Tell the enemy to go to hell.
This disarms the enemy.
Blinded by hindsight, Covid 20/20 the tide turns
His Love is unbelievable! Lord, I believe. Please help my unbelief.
Confess to one another.
Pray for each other. You may be healed. You are not alone.

Do you speak multi-cultural-ism?
Thick accents of miscreants,
Survivors of the last flood
Of mixed diverse, immigrants
Delegations of new life!
All wanting
Wandering immigrants
All speaking in tongues,
From the great fall of Babylon –
Babylon, O Babylon!
Why must you linger on?
Babel on… –
Not to sound ungrateful,
But I beg to differ, and defer to lesion
In this got verboten treason,
For there no longer is legion,
In this fatally broken system.
We have been thrown into chaos by great division,
The left brain can’t tell what the right is saying,
And visa verse, the right doesn’t know
What the left is thinking. Suddenly,
A world without cohesion
All we have left to go on is feelings
Not to sound ungrateful, but
This is a new world without reason
We linger in fashion lingo,
All speaking in their own mother tongue
With their distinct accents and dialects,
This feudal collection of lost immigrants,
Refugees from a former era, and area of dissemination.
O, the humanity of it all!
All the ancient cities now bundled into one.
Doesn’t anyone speak English here anymore? psp

enjoy!
