who knew?

many are amazed when they hear about things like the way some ancient construction, like Stonehenge or the pyramids, or sometimes even natural landscapes, casts some kind of unusual shadow or creates some kind of ray of light, but only on ‘special’ days like solstices, equinoxes and my mom’s birthday

if you’re looking to temper your amazement, consider that future archeologists may say the same thing about Manhattan

dumber than prairie dogs ?

1st, this is by no means an atonement for the May 15 post about humourless Americans; the Goddess manages synchronicity

2nd, this is about humans, not just Canadians

3rd, are humans dumber than animals that communicate telepathically, or by some other unwritten and unspoken method ? like prairie dogs ?

4th, are we less-evolved than earthly species that communicate by deliberately manipulating their bio-chemical production ? like trees ?

5th, remember, “Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.” R. Buckminster Fuller

Today in History

On May 16, 1920 Pope Benedict XV canonized Jeanne d'Arc, who then became a patron saint of France.

The Burgundians arrested Jeanne by authority of the Inquisition, but lacked the nerve to kill her.

So they sold her to the English, who found Jeanne guilty of Witch craft and burned her at the stake on May 30, 1431, at the age of 19.

The Catholic Church pardoned her retroactively in 1452.
