Merry Christmas and a Wonderful 2025 full of justice, freedom of speech and pruning of the governments’ trees!

Christmas is the time to give what we have most precious. There was a time when gold, incense, and myrrh were rare, precious and essential in both their practical and spiritual nature. They were used to recognize the essence of Christ and the effort, choices and sacrifices we need to do each day to travel our life toward the Good.

Merry Christmas and a Wonderful 2025 full of justice, freedom of speech and pruning of the governments’ trees!

Christmas is the time to give what we have most precious. There was a time when gold, incense, and myrrh were rare, precious and essential in both their practical and spiritual nature. They were used to recognize the essence of Christ and the effort, choices and sacrifices we need to do each day to travel our life toward the Good.

In the modern times, where the world seems dominated by a diffuse evil stupidity, the most rare, precious and essential gifts we need to give are justice, freedom and a fight to limit the growing cancer of totalitarian governments.

The Wise Men showed us the way to make the world a much better place, where each of us is an equal son of the Lord, just by recognizing the daily choice between Good and Evil.

Every day we have to choose if we want to please Herod to have a semblance of power or if we want to honor Christ and have the long term goal of a better world for every human being, ourselves included.

Sometime is not easy to understand the direction we have to take but when on one side there is Herod, a king ready to kill or harm kids to not loose his power, censoring free speech, attempting to kill his opponents and growing exponentially the tentacles of his bureaucratic control, it is easy to see the path we have to take.

We chose the other side, the one representing justice, freedom and limited powers. May the Lord give to our modern Magi the force to pursue the Good in every choice they will have to make!

May the New Year bring us the freedom to produce, the peace needed to trade our products and a bright future of discoveries and great choices!

Black and White Tales, The Book https://www.barbano.barbanollc.com/2021/01/black-and-white-tales-the-book/ Tue, 26 Jan 2021 14:53:23 +0000 http://barbano.com/?p=2453 Black and White Tales, The Book

Before I start with the new projects for 2021, here some final considerations about my Black and White Tales project and the presentation of the book.

The book can be previewed and bought here on Blurb.

.

.

I kept the book very simple, with a short version of the tales and just location and camera used for each picture.

My traditional Christmas photograph is here. In the most strange year I ever had I felt the need to keep alive the hope of freedom, to fight in my humble way the tyrants trying to cancel our faith and our traditions.

Merry Christmas my friends, and a wonderful next year full of rebellion to tyranny and regained freedom for all of us!

Just click on the image if you like to see it enlarged.

After a year, the most strange, upsetting and confusing year of my life, the Black and White Tales project arrived at its end.

A project that helped me stay alive in this crazy world.

I hope you enjoyed it, now is time for me for some postpartum depression and I will be back in January with other projects to share with you.

This week I got inspired by a comment from Christian Speck on my last Tale video.

First, check is website ‘case is worth. Second, he suggested me a book: Code Zero by Marc Elsberg. A very intriguing book and the inspiration for this Tale.

Two more weeks to go…

Another week and few more to go before the end of this project.

A week that made me think how we arrived at the use of atomic bombs to stop a war after more than 60 millions casualties. What was the point of no return that brought the world to the tragedy of a world war?

.

.

.

See you next time and we will see if we will go past the pint of no return or we will be smarter than our ancestors!

It’s a strange thanksgiving with socialist dictators trying to kill the celebration of my preferred holiday, to destroy its deepest meaning.

Another week and another meditation about the freedom we are losing.

See you next week!

To keep the mind awake, specially in lock downs, books are a great tool.

This image is inspired by a Buzzati’s novel. Not the right book to read right now, being a little bit too much kafkian, but a book that came to my mind this week and inspired this picture years ago.

See you next week… and we will see if the tide brought something useful…

A lot of things are going on right now.

The most important is the vote for the presidential elections in USA.
Dear Americans, vote wisely so I can continue to work on my plans and keep my dreams. If not, I will have to switch to survival mode, exactly as my parents and grandparents did in the 1940s.

See you next week, I hope with my plans still intact.
