die-seinsfrage
Before my Event Horizon
An existential cry of a singularity in a bewildering multiverse ! An eclectic collection of images, thoughts and views through my Nikon, Biro and inspiration of others!
If you're wondering; “Die Seinsfrage” is a philosophical question, “the question of being”. Posed by Martin Heidegger; whilst reflecting on Edmund’s Hurrserl maxim “to things themselves !”
I hope to explore, reflect and share some of my experiences, vistas and thoughts !

Remember, remember
The 5th of November, but why?
Whilst it is now a visual spectacle of arial pyrotechnics that captivates adults and children alike, it is actually an annual UK celebration of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. A daring plan by a group of recusant papalists conspired to blow up Parliament, kill King James I and bring about an uprising intended to return a catholic monarch, or one with papal sympathies, upon the throne.
Though there were 13 conspriritors it was Fawkes who was found and arrested whilst guarding the explosives the plotters had placed, in the leased undercroft, beneath the House of Lords.
An Act of Parliament was subsequently passed, nominating the 5th of November as a day of thanksgiving for the "joyful deliverance of James I".
Bonfire night, as it is now known, is celebrated all over the UK except St Peters School in York; they do not burn a "Guy" out of respect of one of their own. Guido Fawkes, as he was also known, was born and educated in York.
In the 17th-century, it was traditional for traitors to be hung, drawn and quartered in public. The "hanging" was not designed to kill and the accused would still be alive for the remainder of the sentance. However, whilst waiting to be hung, Fawkes leapt off the gallows and broke his neck, thus avoiding having his stomach sliced open and his testicles cut off in public. His body was still quartered and despatched to the 'four corners of the kingdom' as a warning to others.
It is recorded, that after 2 days of questioning and tourture Guy Fawkes finally broke and acknowledged the plot and his conspiritors, some who were now travelling around the country ready to raise a rebellion.
He admitted to planning to blow up the House of Lords and he regretted his failure. His resilience earned him the praise of King James I, who said "Fawkes possessed 'a Roman resolution."
According to James Sharpe, professor of history at the University of York, Guy Fawkes, was probably "the last man to enter Parliament with honest intentions"!

Sharing a pearl from arty tumble blog.
Feels so true.
“I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren't trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.”

Life and Reality
Rene Des Carte claimed - Cogito Ergo Sum.
I think therefore I am
I think, so I am
I am alive but is it reality?
Well, it is my reality
I think and have thoughts
I feel and have feelings
I perceive me and the world around me
Well, it is my perception
Perception, maybe that is all I can ever experience
