Every Tuesday, we share photographs from our recent or long-ago travels, or just everyday stuff that appealed to our mindful eye and sharp sensibilities as captured through fleeting images.
Inside the Swarovski Museum (1 of 4)
Last week, I shared photos of the facade and the grounds of the Swarovski Museum at Innsbruck, Austria. This week, I am sharing a sneak peek of what’s found inside the museum. Since I have taken quite a number of photographs, consider this part 1 of 4.
We passed hieroglyphic scrolls, gold jewelry, sarcophagi, statues of pharaohs, and huge chunks of limestone. Why would someone display a rock? Aren’t there enough of those in the world?

We don’t need more museums that try to construct the historical narratives of a society, community, team, nation, state, tribe, company, or species. We all know that the ordinary, everyday stories of individuals are riches, more humane, and much more joyful.

“Don’t leave a piece of jewelry at his house so you can go back and get it later; he may be with his real girlfriend.”

This is me, taking a strange purple-hazed-selfie.
Ol’ man Simon, planted a diamond. Grew hisself a garden the likes of none. Sprouts all growin’ comin’ up glowin’ Fruit of jewels all shinin’ in the sun. Colors of the rainbow. See the sun and the rain grow sapphires and rubies on ivory vines, Grapes of jade, just ripenin’ in the shade, just ready for the squeezin’ into green jade wine. Pure gold corn there, Blowin’ in the warm air.

“You are a light,” she replies gently. “And when you shine, you shine bright.”
― The Midnight Star
“Is that all we have left? Is that all we are? Lights on a map that are slowly dying, hanging on for nothing?”
― The Dead-Tossed Waves
Shadows follow, joyful, laughing sprites.
The tree is rich with potential wonder.
All it needs is a glance from you to come alive.
― The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration
