Secrets and Abandoned Churches

Secrets and Abandoned Churches http://adellevictoria.multiply.com/ Another plane takes her to another place. Her from another element journeys on. From sea to air to land. The place talks to her in Cyrillic. The language is a gibberish. She understands through gestures and faces and tones. She is a child again, new, absorbing everything like living for the first time.

Let me hold you at a standstill. Let me have you like a photograph in a locket, close to my heart. ~ On a full moon, a faded orange tint on dried corn fields; an evening when the sun has just set after a long day of unforgiving heat; the sunflowers have bent like heads bowed in prayer, fighting death; the soil is burnt and in the air there mingles the smell of ashes. On this night, I anticipate my forever with you. You are here. ~ But everyone moves. Only a photograph can hold you in a frame. So move, my sister. But move the world with you. Take the core that makes you You, and spell your name with every step. ~ 'Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.'- - W.B.

Let me look back where I was before I changed element from land to sea. ~River Mnemosyne: The MirrorMyth Library ~ Time written with light. Light riding the river, refracted broken by the waves, creating images. These images are my reflections, broken. These images written with light. These images spell Time written – Past, Present, Future – All of which, I remember. Do we only remember the Past? If the universe were contracting, we will remember the Future. What if I tell you my inner universe can contract and expand? I remember fragments of Time that I try to put together and turn into a mosaic of imagery, glinting; an eclipse of experience and reflection. What the Inner Eye sees is according to the motion of its internal universe - - expanding or contracting. The soul summons its path, outside the grip of the automatic clock. ~ An artist, metaphorically and poetically, is a shaman. An artist opens doorways for souls to explore.

Mnemosyne is also the goddess of memory in Greek mythology. “River Mnemosyne: The MirrorMyth Library” is the photo exhibit of Adelle Victoria at the Blacksoup Project Art Space, Cubao X Shoe Expo, running until December 10. Victoria explains, “Conjuring these images is mythopoesis, the making of myths. A myth is a sacred story that tells of the beginnings of the world, or of how the world and the creatures in it came to have their present form. In this exhibit, the sequence of imagery is presented as a myth, the mythmaking of the self; a sacred narrative of how the artist’s soul came to be. By sacred, it is meant that the imagery is deemed to be spiritually significant. In ‘The Power of Myth,’ Joseph Campbell wrote that myth is the power of metaphor and poetry; the myth is false literally, but m... http://adellevictoria.multiply.com/journal/item/7/Blooms_by_the_river_of_Mnemosyne_by_Rome_Jorge Fri, 2 Feb 2007 08:46:55 -0000 "BACK THAT A.S.A.P."

Now, "Asian Edition" serves as title for a conference that will look at the phenomenon of media piracy in South East Asia today. Music, movie and software piracy is one of the most prominent media issues of the digital millennium. In the Philippines it has started a whole underground economy and currently seems to change the way movies and other media products are distributed and consumed products here and in other South East Asian countries.

The biggest question for a vegetarian is: 'WHAT DO I EAT?' In this country, being vegetarian is such a sacrifice. It means being limited to a few (or zero) dishes in every food establishment's menu. It means not being able to eat everything that's in a buffet table; at times, there's nothing for a vegetarian. It means worrying everytime you go out of your house, whether you'll find something to eat or not. If you live with 'meat-arians', you even end up worrying if there's something for you at your own house. But vegetarians remain as such because being vegetarian isn't just a culinary choice. It is making a stand for the planet, for animals, for the environment, against world hunger, against consumerism, and definitely pro-health. What we put on our table is the strongest political, social, economic, environmental, and spiritual act that we do on a daily basis. Here is a site that will help us know what to eat when we've made the http://adellevictoria.multiply.com/links/item/4/VegCooking_Vegetarian_Recipes_Products_Restaurants_and_Much_More Tue, 14 Nov 2006 15:28:37 -0000 Vegetarian and Vegan Information Get the free starter http://adellevictoria.multiply.com/links/item/3/Vegetarian_and_Vegan_Information Mon, 13 Nov 2006 17:55:20 -0000 Rome & Juliet Opening A CinemaOne entry.

Traffic lights and car bumpers keeping the frames from reaching destination. Anxiety, excitement, tired bodies and beating chests. The joyful calm of the gallery girls: Lani, Vanni, and Jeanne. Nylon strings and hooks, paranoia and obsessive compulsiveness. 120 minutes past the bidding time. Then finally, the curtain rises. Relief. Glazed Eyes. A soul's surrender. Gathering open hearts. Eyes, eyes, eyes. Beautiful. The flow, the wave, the Bliss, Bliss, blessed Bliss. Finally, the feathers collect, forming Wings. Here, the Wings, on my back. The birthing of something greater than me. Maraming Salamat. Guitar strings, beats, and chants. Om Shanti. Words and Music blessing the dreams of Memory. This is how we scrape the sky with our fingertips. Wine sent by love. All sent by love.
