Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Gee... I'm flabbergasted! What a wonderful work/world...
Impressive as well as the fantastic pictures... No more words for now, but a feeling that I like to read more of your writing, here, because I'm quite sure many will be captivated as seduced :-)

margouillat,
It seems like you might have done a little browsing at my place.
Maybe I should post some of those images with my commentary on them here instead of a simple set of titled images. They might be viewed entirely differently with my reasoning behind them, not that I`m of the age of reason yet.
Please tell me what you think.
And do, please, feel welcome to go through my archives, & bring your friends. I don`t say this for visit #`s or clicks or comments, because I don`t ever check those stats nor care what they mean. But you mostly will laugh, occasionally tear-up (maybe) or get to see things in an often unconventional light.
95% of my subject matter is shot within a relatively small area from where I sit now.
I sure hope I don`t sound ill mannered in any way. It`s simply an honest invite.

The difference between theists and atheists is that the atheists don't set the theists on fire for refusing to agree with them.

The Case for Working With Your Hands

You can't be me, I'm taken

Thank you for the link Sven.
I only read the first page right now, & only my nodding off at this moment prevents me from the next pages, though you can be sure I will read them in the AM.
It is strange that those who are now in need during hard times, find that those who were looked down upon in good times, now are seen as an indispensable force in their now reduced (imagined)importance.
I spent my whole life in trades that were seen as below some, when most of the time it was by choice, not wanting to be one of the "look down uponers".

Yes, I went there and elsewhere... And found a chautauqua journey :-)

I was thinking more of a set of diaries in E.T., as , as Sven stated, there is "Quality" oozing from everywhere...

 Would Phaedrus be of age of reason either ? :-)

If Phaedrus believes that honesty should be intellectual rather than be a product directed by love, then I would say he`s reached the age of reason, but I may not be so pure as to categorically state the same, as I`m quite fallible in my pursuit of truth, though I do constrain myself from dishonesty, even though I believe I might achieve a selfish result.

Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance may help in trying to find one`s self, a book I read many many moons ago. The lost diaries of my mind.
It`s a trip difficult to relive, because of the confusing map I thought I so artfully created the first time around.

The margouillat lizard is a variant of the Chesshire cat, often invisible but for the smile... :-)


"`Cheshire Puss,' [Alice] began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would like the name: however, it only grinned a little wider. `Come, it's pleased so far,' thought Alice, and she went on. `Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
`That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
`I don't much care where--' said Alice.
`Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
`--so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation.
`Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, `if you only walk long enough.'"

"`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
Alice didn't think that proved it at all; however, she went on `And how do you know that you're mad?'
`To begin with,' said the Cat, `a dog's not mad. You grant that?'
`I suppose so,' said Alice.
`Well, then,' the Cat went on, `you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.'"

Thank you for those replies :-)
