Subjects with the Letter “S” (Lens-Artists Photo Challenge 2/21/21)

For the Lens-artists photo challenge this week the theme is subjects starting with the Letter S.

***

Let’s start off with items that were “SEEN” on a recent walk:

LETTER “S” formed in this discarded twine (and is that a chemical “sweetener” wrapper below that?)

SQUISHED SMOKES

SORTA SEE SOMETHING (head, body, arms – hands???)

 

Two of my favorite items lately: Veritas Sanitizer and Sovereign Silver: 

1) SUPERIOR SANITIZER (truly this is my favorite)

2) SOVEREIGN SILVER. Quick Story with this silver: When we were buying this latest batch of silver (yes, in person – at a store) the checkout lady was teasing that this item was quackery.  I know what it is like to NOT understand supplements – I have been there myself as “critical and quick to dismiss”  and then I used so many goodies and had great results. The proof is when supplements deliver results! Anyhow, real quick like –  I told the checkout lady how silver has potent healing properties – silver is an all-natural antimicrobial that can help the immune system – silver was also used by kings to purify and store water. I quickly added that silver drops used to be what hospitals used to sanitize a baby’s eyes were they were born. Then – she said, “Oh yeah, – well they also used to give babies cocaine.” In the car, my spouse said – “Big difference between a class A drug and silver drops” – and then we briefly chatted about resistance to new ideas or just resistance to supplements.   When information is so “foreign” or new to us — we tend to make quick assessments – and then later we might see that we were grouping erroneously – or just making a too-quick assessment without any research or without even trying it out. Part of that is normal because we humans need to have solid options (( if we were too vulnerable, we’d toss to and fro on ideas like a wave of the sea)). So the point is that I learned that rather than giving someone the iron hand — and rather than being quick to dismiss – it helps to have an open mind for new things. It is the “REASONABLE SKEPTIC” mindset that allows new ideas to be explored properly _ we are reasonable opened with a little skepticism in case it is BS, but we pause and explore before dismissing or minimizing new info.
