neidan internal alchemy : abstract glitch illustration collage by (b)ananartista sbuff
Neidan, or internal alchemy (simplified Chinese: 內丹术; traditional Chinese: 內丹術; pinyin: nèidān shù), is an array of esoteric doctrines and physical, mental, and spiritual practices that Taoist initiates use to prolong life and create an immortal spiritual body.
The meaning of spirituality has developed and expanded over time, and various connotations can be found alongside each other.
Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, to the future.
Philosophical presentism is the view that neither the future nor the past exist.

Monte Verità, il cui nome, in origine, è monte Monescia, è una collina sopra Ascona, nel Canton Ticino, Svizzera.
L’origine del nome non è certa, potrebbe essere celtica dal nome ASC-ONA, che significa grande pascolo, o longobarda dal nome skugina, che significa stalla.
I Longobardi furono una popolazione germanica, protagonista tra il II e il VI secolo di una lunga migrazione che la portò dal basso corso dell’Elba fino all’Italia.
Il protagonista (o personaggio principale) è la figura centrale di un’opera narrativa, il soggetto intorno a cui la trama si sviluppa.

abstract portrait of david bowie by (b)ananartista sbuff

David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016), known professionally as David Bowie (/ˈboʊi/ BOH-ee),[2] was an English singer-songwriter and actor.
Singing is the act of producing musical sounds with the voice and augments regular speech by the use of sustained tonality, rhythm, and a variety of vocal techniques.
Tonality is the arrangement of pitches and/or chords of a musical work in a hierarchy of perceived relations, stabilities, attractions and directionality.
Direct–inverse languages such as Cree and Mapudungun distinguish subject and object on verbs not by different subject and object markers, but via a hierarchy of persons.
Mapuche or Mapudungun[6] (from mapu ‘land’ and dungun ‘speak, speech’) is an Araucanian language related to Huilliche spoken in south-central Chile and west central Argentina by the Mapuche people.
Chile is a country of poets.[183][184] Gabriela Mistral was the first Latin American to receive a Nobel Prize in Literature (1945). Chile’s most famous poet is Pablo Neruda.

squirrel - digital abstract art by (b)ananartista sbuffSquirrel is a high level imperative, object-oriented programming language, designed to be a lightweight scripting language.
In computer science, an object can be a variable, a data structure, a function, or a method, and as such, is a value in memory referenced by an identifier.
Memory is the faculty of the brain by which data or information is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed.
The functions of the brain depend on the ability of neurons to transmit electrochemical signals to other cells.
During operation of electrochemical cells, chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy and is expressed mathematically as the product of the cell’s emf and the electric charge transferred through the external circuit.

William Frederick “Buffalo Bill” Cody (February 26, 1846 – January 10, 1917) was an American soldier, bison hunter, and showman.
Showman can have a variety of meanings, usually by context and depending on the country.
The root of the word “meaning” is “mean”, which is the way someone or something is conveyed, interpreted, or represented.
In botany and dendrology, a rhizome (/ˈraɪzoʊm/, from Ancient Greek: rhízōma “mass of roots”,[1] from rhizóō “cause to strike root”)[2] is a modified subterranean plant stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes.

Tra le dolci colline ed i folti vigneti. Fin da tempi antichissimi.
Un corpus di 75 opere.
Per la rottura di una tubatura verso le 3 di questa notte in corso Dante interi palazzi sono rimasti del centro sono rimasti senz’acqua.
