Discovering Beauty in Everyday Life

Here's the ceiling of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, created by the architect Antoni Gaudí i Cornet (25 June 1852–10 June 1926).  Construction of La Sagrada Familia began in 1882.  Gaudi spent 40 years working on the Cathedral  Still under construction, it is scheduled to be completed in 2041 http://www.aviewoncities.com/barcelona/sagradafamilia.htm .  Ceiling, Sagrada Familia (Gaudi) Below we see the incredible transparency sculpted in light and created by  Gaudi. This is the right wall of windows of the Sagrada Familia seen at an angle as we enter.  Side wall of windows, Sagrada Familia (Gaudi) This photo is an identical window straight-on, but on other side of the cathedral: flat, usual, almost ordinary.

I’m eating a narañja here in beautiful España, Life is calm, life is Glorious! España is notorious  for Flamenco dancing,  and afternoon romancing,  some sweet career advancing,  with resume enhancing. I have a new persona here in sunny Barcelona! Everything’s obtainable, explainable, Sustainable!   Sagrata Familia Cathedral, Barcelona

Finally, Stalagmite meets stalactite but is it worth those endless boring drips? What now? There is no turning back drip, drip, drip. That day the bird flew out the window. I walked along the mica path, and there it was! Just sitting on a limb not knowing yet it was lost. Are these the holy incidents that coalesce the days into a life, with apple leaves and juniper? I saw time come to a boil the other day. They said it wouldn’t, but it did.

Mission for the day: Sneak up on a nearby fountain on a sunlit morning. 1. Position yourself between the sun and the fountain (sun behind, fountain in front). 2. Move right, left, forward and back until you catch sight of the rainbow. 3. Stop a nearby person and lead them to it. 4. Don’t tell them how you did it. The fountain can be tall or short, large or small. The rainbow lives nearer to the ground in the late morning or early afternoon, and higher up in the fountain if the sun is low. If fountains are not available, you can locate a sprinkler. It’s a miracle! It's magic! It’s physics!

It’s intuitively obvious and easy to use! Are you nuts? It’s designed to abuse and confuse! Where the Hell are my photos? I shouted aloud! Don’t worry, you’re syncing them, up in the cloud. It could take a while to get everything done, So relax and remember, “Technology’s fun.”
