Op Art GIFs
Brilliant work here…”Abstract at a glance, the black and white lines animated by Prague-based artist Adam Pizurny vibrate to form sultry portraits of the female form. This series, entitled Black and White, incorporates work with 3D human models. Black and White abandons the hyperrealism and hyper surrealism. “This project is experiment seeing how far we could simplify the human body while people still recognize it or find attractive,” Pizurny says. “Its also tribute to the 60s Op art movement.” Thank you for sharing, alk3r!

“I Love You” . . . Why Are We So Afraid to Say It? – Guest Post…
“Our time on this earth is short. Our reason for being here is to learn. And there is nothing more gratifying than telling someone you love them and having them receive it with delight and reciprocation. Saying “I love you” shouldn’t be a fearful thing. It should be a joyous union of two souls helping each other grow.” Tina Frisco (now read the whole post, please!)
My note: I say “I love you” to many too…and what I’m really expressing is a flash of deep feeling that I must set free…it has nothing to do with lust, infatuation or any shade of those dark emotions….but I know millions cannot do this for one reason or another. In fact, I recall my mother blushing when I first said those 3 words to her…but gradually she began to give them back to me, shyly, when no one else was listening. Feeling free to express our love can certainly take some work – but its oh so worth it!!!

My sisters and most of my friends and I regularly tell each other “I love you.” I usually speak the phrase freely and easily but have noticed over my life that many have difficulty receiving as well as speaking the sentiment. I wonder why that is . . .
I think many of us are afraid of what “I Love You” might imply. Certainly it depends on who is saying it and in what context. A lot of us have received salacious messages from people we’ve friended on social networks, and that is never comfortable — nor is it appropriate. And it most definitely isn’t love. But lust is an entirely different subject and not fodder for this post.
Among true friends, why are we so afraid to speak our hearts? Do we think the sentiment might be misconstrued? Instead of…

A separate reality….there are billions of realities…what the average human eye perceives is just a fragment of the whole…and here are some amazing images to remind us of the surreal…thank you alk3r!
Conceptual digital artist Alex Andreyev calls his works “hermetic art” depicting surreal and mythic situation somebody can call sci-fi illustration. His works from “Separate Reality” series definitely call to everything untold and occult we have in a course of our lives.

7 Things to Help You Feel Better During Tough Times
I use a strong spiritual practice to carry me through the tough times, but that practice can include tools such as these…a multi-pronged approach that dissolves what we see as problematic is far more effective than any one method…thank you for sharing, Alk3r.
“Tough times don’t last, but tough people do. And I’ve been through some tough times, and I know a lot of people can recall tough times, and maybe are going through some tough times right now, but they don’t last.” ~ Alonzo Mourning

The Tree That Was Arrested
One of the milder stories of colonial stupidity and bullying in India…as the story goes, in 1898, a drunken British army officer named James Squid thought this tree was lurching towards him and ordered the mess sergeant to arrest it. The mess sergeant obeyed. More than a hundred years later, the tree is still in chains. “Through this act, the British basically implied to the tribesmen that if they dared act against the Raj, they too would be punished in a similar fashion,” claimed a resident of the army cantonment. Thank you for sharing this unusual tale, Alk3r.
In the Landi Kotal army cantonment area in present-day Pakistan, there is a banyan tree that is kept chained to the ground as if to prevent it from escaping. A board hanging from its branches read, in part: “I am under arrest.”
