Amazing Dolls: The Girl in Blue

What do I see in your eyes, little girl in blue? Is it humility, or innocence? Or, perhaps, a combination of the two? Your silence is golden, and so are you!

Lest we forget: The Steam engine, a symbol of progress

As the arrival of winter to the Northern hemisphere sends temperatures down to sub zero levels, many a home is heated thanks to the power of coal and wood. Just like countless generations before them, people in the cold, northern regions know that coal and wood make the difference between survival or succumbing to the merciless climate.

These two commodities also powered the steam engines which heralded a new  age of technological progress and prosperity for all of humanity. It is thanks to these wonderful machines, and the men who built, operated and maintained them, that the world could rise from the darkness and into the light of modernity. 

Lest we forget.

Spider webs

The spider web is seen as an icon of the spiritual world. To me, it guards us against the evils of this world. 

I watch this mystic veil that separates Man from God as it sways in the wind like a ship's sail; at times invisible, ethereal, then unmasked by the rays of the sun or the pale reflections of the moon. 

The wind passes through it but Evil stays behind, lost in the sticky maze together with the odd, unfortunate fly. I take a deep breath and try to do the same, but in reverse: I let the Darkness pass through and drift away, while letting Love stick to me like a fly.

Dolls Houses: A Passage in The Centennial

A dim lit passage in the entrails of The Centennial leads from the entrance to the kitchen at the back of the house, past a dormitory and the bathroom.

Dolls houses: A corner in a room of The Centennial

A corner in a room of The Centennial, arguably my favorite dolls house. She's been with me for three years now, and I enjoy looking at her every day! 

The peace and tranquility that reigns in that antique dolls house gives me comfort and calms me down. Long may she keep me company, for I cannot imagine a life without her!

In the Trees

Do you believe in ghosts? I do. And I think that some of them hide in the trees.

Night Flight (2)

A Polikarpov R-Z reconnaissance bomber aircraft makes a night stop at Leningrad (Saint Petersburg). It's winter and the airplane sports an overall white livery for camouflage. Makes me wonder how the crew stayed alive in that open cockpit...

Rose Prayer of St. Therese, patron saint of missions and of florists

St. Therese, the Little Flower, please pick me a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me with a message of love; ask God to grant me the favor I thee implore and tell Him I will love Him each day more and more. 

 

Amen.
