You & I sir are cut from the same cloth it seems.When I was on heroin and feeling nice, a stroll through town with a Macdonald's shake would be a lovely day for me!
When I got weed I love going to the local park but it's not a small place, it's bloody huge, has a lake etc. It was a home to some industrial guy who was so rich it must have been insane.
Off Google......."Opened to the public in 1931, it attracts 1.3 million visitors per year and is approximately 13.65 hectares (33.7 acres)." which shows you how big it is & gives you an idea of what kinda park it is. I love to go get a good Coffee & sit under the shade of some old tree & blaze a good spliff & watch the world go by, watch the ducks fight over bread, watch dogs chase a ball etc. I'm one of those Flaneur types in a way.
I'm off to London on the 14th of next month @StoneHappyMonday to go to the British Museum with that Anthropology lady I know for that Devine Female religious stuff display I linked a few weeks ago & you commented on it.
"Explore the significant role that goddesses, demons, witches, spirits and saints have played – and continue to play – in shaping our understanding of the world.
How do different traditions view femininity? How has female authority been perceived in ancient cultures? For insights, the exhibition looks to divine and demonic figures feared and revered for over 5,000 years. From wisdom, passion and desire, to war, justice and mercy, the diverse expression of female spiritual powers around the world prompts us to reflect on how we perceive femininity and gender identity today.
Worship of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes, reveals how her destructive capacity is venerated alongside her ability to create. The Buddhist bodhisattva of compassion, who transcends gender and is visualised in male form in Tibet and female in China and Japan, uncovers the importance of gender fluidity in some spiritual traditions. And the terrifying Hindu goddess Kali, depicted in art carrying a severed head and bloodied sword, is honoured as the Great Mother and liberator from fear and ignorance.
Enhanced by engagement with contemporary worshippers, faith communities and insights from high-profile collaborators Bonnie Greer, Mary Beard, Elizabeth Day, Rabia Siddique and Deborah Frances-White, the exhibition considers the influence of female spiritual power and what femininity means today.
Bringing together sculptures, sacred objects and artworks from the ancient world to today, and from six continents, the exhibition highlights the many faces of feminine power – ferocious, beautiful, creative or hell-bent – and its seismic influence throughout time."
But a huge thanks for saying about the books for sale, I just seen "Tantra: enlightenment to revolution" which looks amazing & with any luck I will have the £350 off the Tory lot as I now got a shopping list & I'd have no idea if you hadn't said about it.
