I have no idea what to do with this, but wouldn't it be neat if Aang started doing all of his bending using the wrong style of bending? Just because he can?
Airbending? No, actually, it's humid in here. I used the water in the air :) nope, just manipulated the temperature with firebending. Common mistake! They look very similar!
Oh no, that wasn't earthbending. That was airbending. I'm basically just compressing the air! Sokka came up with that!
Avatar Aang comes in to give a bending demonstration, and immediately 60-year-old masters start gnawing the furniture because what do you MEAN that was waterbending!!! You made flames!!!? We've been studying this all our lives why would you come in and do this to us

obsessed with the cover quote on the library book i’m currently reading, which is from a magazine and is “one of the more graceful wordsmiths currently writing fantasy,” mostly because of its choice of more rather than most.

Frederick Hart in front of the completed clay for The Creation Sculpture, Ex Nihilo. 1978-84, Washington National Cathedral
* * * *
"Being a realized immortal for a breath’ is an interesting expression. Usually one considers immortals to be permanently immortal. When one`s original spirit awakens, even if only for a breath, that moment is out of time and can be called immortal. At one time when I had an experience like this about 15 years ago, a connection with an experience I had when I was 5 or 6 years old occurred. I had completely forgotten about this experience and suddenly it returned and felt very vivid and alive, and I understood that this experience had been a deep moment of awakening. These moments are eternal moments that time cannot erase, although one can become disconnected from them.
Forever is composed of Nows."
~ Emily Dickinson

i love spaceships i loooove spaceships. the vacuum of space is so unforgiving and harsh and can kill you so quickly. and there's a big beautiful loving machine holding you safely inside of it and floating along through that making sure you are okay. i love spaceships

Washington National Cathedral - Lego!
They are working on a Lego model of the cathedral
Creation rose window and the ex nihilo tympanum



Space window

Gargoyle procession :)

Some more views. No custom pieces are being used! These are all bricks that are in circulation!





Every visitor gets to place a brick! By some stroke of luck, they were working on constructing the Maryland window today! So I got to put a brick on the frame for the Maryland window ❤️🤍💛🖤

Washington National Cathedral - outside stuff
Main door of the western face - Ex Nihilo tympanum and a statue of Adam below

Detail of some of the doors

View into the Bishop's Garden. This was when I had to remind myself that I can't be a monk. For several reasons.

A view of the cathedral from the garden

Scaffolding. They are still working on repairs from the 2011 earthquake

View into the All Souls Memorial Garden

View of the cathedral from the All Souls Memorial Garden. I really liked this face. The words above the saints say "Teach them to observe". I don't know who the saints are but their faces/styles kinda remind me of the judging saints in the beginning of the Disney Hunchback of Notre Dame movie.

Another door

The flying buttresses. I can't express how cool it is to see these irl. They're just so......and they're keeping the walls up!

Washington National Cathedral - some inside stuff
Good Shepard chapel and door


Bethlehem Chapel. These three chapels in the crypt represent the birth, death, and resurrection of Christ.

St. Joseph of Arimathea Chapel

Mural in the Resurrection Chapel. They were all scenes of the post resurrection "victory lap" (as the tour guide called it) so of course I had to immediately go find Thomas.

Back up in the nave, the Holy Spirit Chapel.

St. Mary Chapel

The ornate (and low!) ceiling of the Children's Chapel

The sanctuary and the view of the nave from the Creation rose window balcony. If you've noticed things don't quite line up on a straight line...you are correct.
