It is important to me to share my photos & writing with a world with ever diminishing access to the truth & natural surroundings.2 photos are credited to my Mother, Diana Whittington (the Rainbow's Daughter & There & Back Again), & another is in Public Domain; the remainder of the photos were taken by me.

  Is Sex Necessary? Or Why You...

  Is Sex Necessary? Or, Why You Feel the Way You Do (1929) is a brilliant satirical work that humorously dissects the popular psychological and social theories about sex, love, and human behavior prevalent in the early twentieth century. Written by E. B. White and James Thurber, the book adopts the tone of a mock scientific study, complete with absurd charts, invented terminology, and tongue-in-cheek definitions.
  
  Rather than offering genuine explanations, the authors parody the era's obsession with analyzing emotions through pseudo-scientific language. Topics such as romance, neurosis, marriage, passion, repression, and gender relations are treated with elegant irony and playful exaggeration. The humor lies in exposing how attempts to rationalize feelings often lead to confusion rather than clarity.
  
  The book does not aim to answer whether sex is "necessary" in any serious sense; instead, it mocks the cultural impulse to intellectualize what is fundamentally emotional and irrational. With sharp wit and understated elegance, White and Thurber critique modern society's faith in psychology as a universal explanatory tool.
  
  Enduringly fresh, Is Sex Necessary? remains a classic of American humor, celebrated for its intelligence, restraint, and timeless commentary on human relationships and emotional bewilderment.

  The Khmer Empire - History of...

  Historians describe Cambodia as the Khmer State or the Angkorian Empire (Khmer:) from the 9th century to the 15th century, when it was a Hindu/Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia. The empire, which developed from the old societies of Funan and Chenla, governed and/or "vassalized" the majority of mainland Southeast Asia and parts of Southern China, covering from the suggestion of the Indochinese Peninsula northward to modern-day Yunnan province in China, and from Vietnam westward to Myanmar. The Khmer Empire was greater at its peak than the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) that existed at the exact same period. 
  The site of Angkor, in modern-day Cambodia, which worked as the Khmer capital throughout the empire's prime time, is maybe its most long-lasting tradition. The stunning Angkor structures, like Angkor Wat and Bayon, attest to the Khmer Empire's incredible strength and wealth, remarkable art and culture, architectural strategy, visual accomplishments, and the series of belief systems that it bought from in time. Angkor was the world's biggest pre-industrial cosmopolitan center between the 11th and 13th centuries, according to satellite photography. 
  Let’s learn more about what we know about the happenings in this vast empire from so long ago.
