  • Mandala of Rising Angels version II


    [Verse 1]

    In the stillness of the twilight glow,
    Where the shadows dance and the soft winds blow,
    Angels gather, making circles wide,
    Caressing earth, where our spirits abide.

    Their whispers linger in the evening air,
    Guiding our souls, lifting burdens we bear,
    With the sun’s warmth, water’s gentle embrace,
    Stars shining bright, weaving dreams in space.

    [Chorus]

    In the mandala of rising angels, we find our way,
    Every heartbeat like a petal in the fray,
    From passionflowers to lily of the valley,
    In the bloom of love, we’re forever free.

    [Verse 2]

    Beneath the canopy of tangled trees,
    Dancing to the symphony of birds and bees,
    Roses with thorns, rainbows in the mist,
    Each moment cherished, not a chance to resist.

    These sacred shapes evolve through time,
    Spirals of healing, a rhythm, a rhyme,
    Breath of the garden, angels keep circling,
    Admiring the beauty in our hearts unfurling.

    [Chorus]

    In the mandala of rising angels, we find our way,
    Every heartbeat like a petal in the fray,
    From passionflowers to lily of the valley,
    In the bloom of love, we’re forever free.

    [Bridge]

    Awaken guiding angels, illuminating the night,
    Inspiring streams of laughter, teasing shadows to light,
    This endless flow of hearts, where we merge and unite,
    With every pulse, love conquers our fright.

    [Verse 3]

    Around the circle, spirits intertwine,
    Tales of passion, of loss, and divine,
    In whispers and laughter, we trace the design,
    Every jewel of silence, a story, a sign.

    The earth is a canvas, the sky is our guide,
    Through valleys and mountains, our dreams abide,
    In the colors of dusk and the glow of the morn,
    Each angel spreads wings, as a new day is born.

    [Chorus]

    In the mandala of rising angels, we find our way,
    Every heartbeat like a petal in the fray,
    From passionflowers to lily of the valley,
    In the bloom of love, we’re forever free.

    [Outro]

    So let us dance in this circle of flight,
    Where angels shine bright, and dreams take flight,
    In the mandala of love, where our hearts ignite,
    Together forever, in the endless light.

  • **King Daniel**

    He had no palace

    He had no kingdom

    He did not sit on a throne

    He wore no golden crown

    He bore no costly titles

    as a sign of exaltation


    Daniel was a star among the stars
    who shared his light with humankind and earth

    He was a flower in a forest of trees
    an orchid in a garden of clovers and roses

    For Daniel, every person was a pearl,
    a treasure unique and of equal worth

    But his people cast him out
    in the name of a faith
    because he wore women’s garments
    and colored his hair
    in the colors of the rainbow

    You must do this, you must do that,
    you must behave,
    you must listen,
    you must obey,
    you must believe,

    and if you don’t,
    then you’re worth nothing to us,
    then we don’t want to see you anymore,
    then you can just drop dead on your face,
    then you can figure it out for yourself

    That poor, dear Daniel,
    so good and kind he was,
    was cast out
    because he believed in himself

    Daniel found refuge
    in the cave of outcast souls,
    where he was embraced as one
    to share love and sorrow together lovingly

    There the muses sang and danced,
    the rich and the poor, the lonely,
    the wanderers and the alienated, young and old,
    each in their own creative way,
    in a delightful haze of myrrh,
    enjoying sweet wines,
    mead, water from the spring, and barley beer

    When the feast was over
    around three o’clock, in the middle of the night,
    everyone took leave of one another,
    greeted by the smile
    of the bright full moon

    It was peacefully quiet in the city
    when the sun rose on the horizon
    to bestow light and warmth
    on all that blooms and lives on earth

    A muse awoke in her
    flowerbed adorned with roses and lilies of the valley

    The minstrel played with his lute
    a joyful ode to the muse,
    to life and freedom

    A vagabond awoke by the canals
    where he fed the ducklings some currant bread
    The people greeted him kindly
    and gave him some small change and sweet cookies

    A beautifully decorated boat came sailing by
    with a dancing company of all colors and sizes
    The vagabond waved, and they waved back, feasting together,
    sharing happiness in that one beautiful language of hearts

    At the peace monument on the grand square
    people from a multitude of lands and cultures gathered
    to celebrate and enjoy the cozy togetherness

    Suddenly a golden coach clattered by,
    full of splendor and grandeur, pulled by sweating horses
    over the richly adorned cobblestone streets

    The people could only laugh
    when a king began tossing out candies wrapped in orange paper,
    to show how rich, good, and generous he was

    And the muses sang and danced together
    to the rhythm of everyone’s hearts,
    and the angelic choirs sang beautiful songs
    against the backdrop of heavenly blue beauty

    Seven days later, the muses heard
    that Daniel had left the city

    They asked everyone in the circle
    if they knew where he was,

    but no one had seen or heard from him
    since the week before

    The last one who had seen him
    could only testify
    that Daniel had kindly asked
    to be left alone, to dream
    in the cave of color and lights

    "a pilgrim with a crooked hat
    had given him some kind of magic potion
    and told him that by taking it,
    all his wishes would come true
    in an endlessly beautiful dream"

    The minstrel didn’t know either and said:

    "I don’t know where he is,
    the last time I saw him
    he reassuringly told me,
    ‘be yourself, be free, live and let be,
    that’s how you, just like me, fit in perfectly’"

    According to the vagabond from the park,
    Daniel had been beaten up by people with clubs
    at a demonstration on the Malieveld,
    after which he had fled in fear

    The community that had cast Daniel out
    declared that Daniel had run away out of discontent
    They didn’t want to know anything more about it
    because they were busy collecting donations

    Daniel,
    to everyone’s sorrow,
    unannounced and so unexpectedly,
    had set off on a journey to a distant land,
    even further away than the sun, the stars, and the moon

    The muses now kept watch by the cave
    where, in a wreath of sweet flowers,
    lights shone through bitter tears,
    merging with the vast sea

    Why did he go?
    Where did he go?

    Our Daniel,
    and where were you?
    the muse asked

    The last witness was the first
    she asked,
    he spoke no word

    After the silence that followed,
    a voice said:
    "he has gone to dream forever"

    Then the angels from heaven sang:
    "be comforted, in the heavenly clouds he will
    be happy for all eternity,"
    bearing witness to the mystery
    of the Heavenly Kingdom

  • Beautiful Amsterdam a century ago in the 1920s in color [A.I. enhanced & colorized] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF44wJmUVkE&t=50s

    We begin with a stunning birdseye view of old Amsterdam in the 1920's.

    The area surrounding Amsterdam's central station has for long been a hub that attracts many tourists.
    The station was designed by architect Pierre Kuypers and built between 1881 and 1889. Its style is very similar to the Rijksmuseum, also designed by this architect.
    In front of the station near the water we see the Noordhollands Koffiehuisje, later het Smits Koffiehuisje.

    The old city of Amsterdam is one of the most picturesq places in the world. The houses that border Amsterdam's canals, the so-called 'grachten' have distinct facades. There are various types of gables: The clock, step, point and neck gables, easily recognizable by their shapes.
    A great location is the area near the Nicolaas Kerk not far from the Central Station called "Het Kolkje".
    The Nicolaaskerk with its characteristic dome is one of the remarkable buildings that comes into sight as soon as you arrive at the Central station. This beautiful basilica was built in 1887 and certainly worth a visit.

    Amsterdam is well known for its canals, the so called grachten. Three canals that are constructed in a semi circle surround the old center: The Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht and Herengracht. In the summer these canals are filled with sightseeing tour boats. In earlier ages they formed a vital infrastructure for the delivery of goods that arrived at Amsterdam harbour.
    We see the Ronde Lutherse Kerk, built between 1668 and 1671. It was damaged a number of times by fire.

    On the way to the Dam we pass the Beurs van Berlage by Hendrik Petrus Berlage and built between 1989 and 1903. Arriving at the Dam you will see the Royal Palace by architect Jacob van Campen and built between 1648 and 1665.

    Going further into old Amsterdam you are bound to encounter the Munttoren with its nearby floating flower market.

    The Scheepvaarthuis on the Jan Hendrikkade was built in 1913 and the home of 6 major shipping companies.
    The characteristic Waag at the Nieuwmarkt, built in the 15th century, used to be one of the entrance gates to the old city, called the Sint Antoniespoort.
    Another great gate to old Amsterdam is the Muiderpoort at the Alexanderplein and built around 1770.

    The Stadsuniversiteit building dates from 1632 and was elevated to university status in 1877

    Not far from the rear of the Rijksmuseum, opposite the museum Plein is the great Concertgebouw building. Its acoustics are world renowed.
    The Rijksmuseum is a "must-see" for any tourist. Not only does it house the famous Nachtwacht (Nightwatch) painting by Rembrandt van Rijn, but the museum also has a huge collection of works by the Dutch masters from the 17th century. Its gardens are also most certainly worth a visit.

    When you say Amsterdam then Rembrandt is a name that immediately springs to mind. The place where he worked and lived in de Jodenbreestraat, the socalled Rembrandthuis, built in 1606 is an interesting place to visit.
    There is also a cinema theater which bears his name. It is located at the Rembrandt Plein square. Here we see huge crowds in 1919 flocking to watch the film "De Koningin der Aarde" with Mia May in the lead.

    The video also shows great shots of the Leidse plein with its many kiosks.

    The Spinozahuis is where famous Dutch philosopher Spinoza lived in the 17th centure before he moved to The Hague. Spinoza was a radical who criticized the Bible, something that was "not done" in that period.

    Another prominent citizen of Amsterdam was poet and playwrite Joos van den Vondel, famous for two tragedies: Gijsbrecht van Aemstel from 1637 and Lucifer from 1654. The Vondelpark with his statue in recent years has been a magnet for hippies and protest marches.

    Amsterdam always was a city of joy. Here we see a number of street artistst in action.
    Almost everybody in this city owns a bike and has done so since bicycles were invented.

    Alike Antwerp many Jewish people lived in Amsterdam for cemturies; the diamond industry being one of their core trades. The famous Cullinan diamond, one of the British Crown Juwels, was cut here in the workshop of the Koninklijke Asscher Diamant Maatschappij.

    An unspoiled quiet spot in old Amsterdam was and still is the Begijnhofje, founded in the 14th century, where nuns have their domicile. Despite Amsterdams century long roll dating from the VOC period as trade hub, large parts of the city remained poor. We see some working class neigbourhoods.

    The harbour of Amsterdam is the second largest in the Netherlands, after Rotterdam. It used to be directly connected to open sea until the IJsselmeer got closed of by the Afsluitdijk in the 1930s.

    This is exceptional footage of old Amsterdam. We see old trams in the city as early as in 1919 near the Waterlooplein and on the Blauwe Brug.
    Here are trams near the Willemspoort.
    The Montelbaanstoren at the Oudeschans dates from 1516.

Despite Amsterdams century long roll dating from the VOC period as trade hub, large parts of the city remained poor. We see some working class neigbourhoods. The harbour of Amsterdam is the second largest in the Netherlands, after Rotterdam. It used to be directly connected to open sea until the IJsselmeer got closed of by the Afsluitdijk in the 1930s. This is exceptional footage of old Amsterdam. We see old trams in the city as early as in 1919 near the Waterlooplein and on the Blauwe Brug. Here are trams near the Willemspoort. The Montelbaanstoren at the Oudeschans dates from 1516. Source: Beeld En Geluid Music: Trevor Kowalski and others.

    Charles Manson
    Charles Milles Manson (Cincinnati, 12 november 1934 – Bakersfield (Californië), 19 november 2017) was een Amerikaanse crimineel. Manson was de sekteleider van de zogeheten Manson Family en werd bekend en berucht vanwege de veroordeling tot een levenslange gevangenisstraf wegens moord en aanstichting daartoe, in wat bekend is geworden als de zaak-Tate/La Bianca (ook wel: de Manson-moorden), die in 1969 veel aandacht trok. Biografie Jeugd Charles Manson werd in 1934 geboren in Cincinnati in de staat Ohio. Op dertienjarige leeftijd probeerde zijn moeder hem in een pleeggezin onder te brengen. Toen dat niet lukte, werd hij op een kostschool gezet. Na een jaar liep Manson daaruit weg om terug te keren bij zijn moeder, die echter niets meer met hem te maken wilde hebben. De jonge Charles kwam nu op straat terecht en leefde voornamelijk van diefstal. In 1951 werd Manson voor het eerst tot een gevangenisstraf veroordeeld wegens rijden in een gestolen auto. In 1954 werd hij wegens goed gedrag weer vrijgelaten. Huwelijk en kinderen In januari 1955 trouwde Charles...

    Marocchinate: The Darkest Event of WWII *WARNING Mature Audiences Only

    Today, we are going to tell you about a horrific event – the "Marocchinate" - or "The deeds of the Moroccans." Those "deeds" were r@pe and murder on a mass scale – mostly r@pe What might be even more shocking for people is that the Moroccans were part of the Allied armies moving up the Italian Peninsula in 1944.

    Background

    In the spring of 1944, hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers were slowly advancing up the Italian peninsula toward Rome. In September 1943, the Allies crossed the Straits of Messina from recently conquered Sicily to mainland Italy. In the far south of the country, it was mostly British and British Imperial troops doing the fighting. To the north, mainly American forces landed at Salerno, some 140 miles south of Rome. The intention was to catch German troops in a trap from north and south, forcing their surrender. Another aspect of the plan was to capture Rome, one of the capital cities of the "Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis," an enemy the Allies had been fighting since 1939.

    Shortly after the Allied landings in their country, the king and the politicians around him made secret overtures to the Allies. They would overthrow and detain Mussolini and make peace in the hope of sparing their country the destruction they knew would come. That's exactly what happened. Mussolini was taken to a deserted hotel in the mountains, and King Victor Emanuel III and his closest adviser, Marshal Pietro Badoglio, formed a new government.

    There were Algerians, Moroccans, and Tunisians, countries that today are considered "Arab." They speak forms of Arabic, write Arabic, and are overwhelmingly Muslim. However, among the North African troops, an outsized percentage were Berbers. The Berbers are the indigenous people of North-West Africa, having lived there far longer than the Arabs who arrived in the mid to late 7th and early 8th centuries, bringing the new religion of Islam. Today, being "Berber" or at least counted as Berber by the government is difficult because of urbanization and intermingling in these countries. Berber traditions, customs, and languages differ from region to region. Still, it's estimated that half or over half of Morocco today is Berber, between 15-40% of Algeria, and about 10% of the population of Tunisia.

    Most Berbers are Muslims, though there are Berber Christians and a small number of Berber Jews. The culture also includes long, age-old traditions that bear some similarities to the belief systems of tribal people around the world.
