This is a short video which focuses on and through what could be seen from looking  at and through the Tree. Please take a look and enjoy a moment of contemplation, if you will.

In the context of patriarchal and male-centric societies, it is not difficult to see how men's desire to 'own, control and enjoy the services of women.'  Have led societies to make much ado about females and their sexuality.  This desire to own, control and enjoy the favours of women, with usually little of no regard to what they, the females, get out of the interaction, has led men to establish an abuse relationship with females.  From they are just small children, men begin to lay claim to females. Intending to limit the amount of time when they might have to do without sex and having children.  They justify having marital relationships with children on the basis that it will allow the children less time to be seduced by the world.  To develop a mind and an intellect of their own. And to reduce the risk of them having to use physical violence to get women to submit to them, when they are older and wanting to exercise more freedom. Thus we have some pat

Like a miracle, the alleged Syrian Regime gas attack in Idlib seem to have presented the Regime opponents with a gift to destroy it. Do not believe it. It is a devious scheme by the Americans and cartelised European Union leaders and their allies. No sooner do we hear of all of these developments, than we have the most perfectly timed report of an alleged chemical attack on the people of Khan Sheikhun, in Idlib Province in Syria.  This reported attack could hardly have come at a better time.  As it deflects media attention from the British Prime Minister's visit to Saudi Arabia. From the reported British investigation into alleged Saudi war crimes.  And, it acts as an incentive to stiffen the faltering resolve of the new Trump Administration to fight the Syrian proxy war as Britain and her EU partners want it to be fought. The question has to be asked; why would the Syrian Government use chemical weapons against the people of Idlib?  How could or would not b

After Winter comes Spring, when all floral things spring, gradually and, for a time, imperceptibly, for life. And our garden is no different, as its floral life also responds to the call of Spring. Please take a look at my appreciative attempt to record some brief moments in this response to the call of Spring, and see if it has some contemplative value for you.

President Al Assad of Syria has been called many despicable things, but it would be incorrect to call him a fool or an idiot.  A man who wishes to commit suicide or give a credible pretext to his American, European Union and Sunni regimes ammunition to carry out their repeated threat to destroy him. You do not survive a 6 year war by America, the EU/Nato and 'undemocratic' Sunni regimes in the Middle East, as well as by Israel, to destroy you, if you are an idiot.  The West might not like it, but, irrespective of what the EU and America's new Ambassador to the UN said about the President of Syria not being good for his country.  He is the only one who has been able to, with the invaluable assistance of Russia, Iran, Lebanon and other supportive forces, been able to hold the fractious State of the Syrian ship together.  Yes, this has been done at great cost to all the people of Syria, people of all ages and both civilians and combatants.  Which is why t

Men do not only oppress and marginalise women; they oftentimes, with the passive and/or active participation of women, oppress and marginalise the whole female population of the human specie. It seems to me that, much more than it might be argued of men, the society of men continue to use the sexuality of females to define their responsibilities and roles in society.  They, men, uses females' sexuality and gender to limit their potential and developmental progression in society.  Citing such things as females physiological and biological differentiation from their male compatriot. Of course, looked at from an evolutionary perspective. It could be argued that, the acculturalisation and socialisation process which men, historically aided and abetted by women, subject the female of the human specie to.   Could be disrupting the evolutionary progression of women. By maintaining the historical status quo. I had been watching a panel debate on TV/C News, a television chan

The Iraqi army and government should rightly consider the situation in Mosul as being a very complex one which presents an on-going threat to its forces and the civilian population which is genuinely opposed to the insurgents.  This threat will come first from the insurgents themselves, who will doubtlessly use a number of strategies, which they and the insurgents in Syria have been using for years.  They will actively engage the Iraqi forces in military combat, but they will also present themselves as 'civilians.' Hoping to have the opportunity to get close to the Iraqi forces to use themselves as 'homicide bombs.'  Doubtlessly some of them will also take on the guise of being ordinary civilians. In order to get out of Mosul and continue the insurgency later, in other places in Iraq, as well as in Mosul; post-liberation. In this kind of unenviable and pernicious conflict which is being fought in Mosul, as is the case in many parts of Syria, the first c
