I will lift my eyes up to the hills

the desert

Miriam Makeba

4 March 1932 – 9 November 2008

Greetings from an inspiring vacation (over but remembered)! I took one other picture, thinking of you, of an angry black cat, moving restlessly around a fence pole on a wall, so well above me, with ferociously opened mouth and wild eyes. There was more contemplation to be had in the mountains ;) - I thought of Psalm 121, to be improved. "I will lift my eyes up to the hills, from where will my help come from?" --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:35, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

ps: I uploaded a few more (click on "desert"), all but two are now by me ----Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:45, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Beautiful pictures, thanks! Hope that kitty got some treats :) Opabinia regalis (talk) 07:19, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

That creature looked as if it would bite someone getting close, even giving ;) - One of our choir members died recently, - we'll sing today in memory him, from A Mass for Peace. Did you know that there is a giant road sign not far from the border to Egypt, saying in three languages blue on white Go in Peace? ----Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:21, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Her day today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:20, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

I updated the playlist of the memorial service, three red links but one turned blue today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:54, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Oh, so sorry to hear! Your playlist is a nice memorial. Opabinia regalis (talk) 07:10, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

After another death (now in the family, not close but still sad), I lift my eyes still higher and changed my talk to less bleak black. DYK that my two most successful DYK came last week, both women? One was helped by TV, but the other a real all-time-stats, Pictured in prison. May arbcom not make victims, sent to prison and desert ;) ----Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:00, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Hey... Do you know anyone who would be interested in editing Sex and gender in the Bengal famine of 1943? I can supply many many many resources (already on my computer hard drive, already cross-referenced by topic area, already got tons and tons of quotes, etc.) and much much guidance and input (been working on that famine article for 2 years. noo seriously) , but I just can't do it myself. Know anyone? Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 09:30, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Lingzhi Hmm, that's not a topic I know much about... maybe Women in Red might have someone interested, or who could point you to someone more knowledgeable? I'm really only good for things one cell or smaller :) Opabinia regalis (talk) 07:22, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
