"The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice there is little we can do to change until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds." (Ronald D. Laing)

«As palavras são pedras.»*
(Chita. Rans, Junho 2008)
(dizem que os olhares não mentem. olhassemo-nos todos assim, para o fundo dos nossos fundos, para os fundos dos outros, e talvez nos entendêssemos muito melhor.
Meet Chita! a cadelinha destemida do Seu Fim. ;) residente em Rans, proprietária de um jardim que percorre em voltas alucinantes às tantas da manhã; rebelde, independente, esperta, e muito destra a trepar muros! enfim, realmente um doce.
;)
(bestial! [esta palavra é realmente fantástica] ;) muito agradecida :))

They appeared to be "stones that are perfect in form" and were set by European jewellers into magical rings and amulets from Medieval times until the 18th century.
Curator Naomi Speakman has already told us about bestiaries – medieval books of animals both real and mythical. Here, she takes us through another type of medieval compendiary – the lapidary, an encyclopaedia of jewels, their properties and their meanings in medieval society.

The Cyrus Cylinder is one of the most famous objects to have survived from the ancient world. It was inscribed in Babylonian cuneiform on the orders of Persian King Cyrus the Great (559-530 BC) after he captured Babylon in 539 BC.
The cylinder is often referred to as the first bill of human rights as it appears to encourage freedom of worship throughout the Persian Empire and to allow deported people to return to their homelands. It was found in Babylon in modern Iraq in 1879 during a British Museum excavation.
