Capturing the Moment...

In Moments

There is nothing we can do
To bring the past back into view
But its eternity is cast
In moments before they are past

There is no moment deigned for waste
Each one slipping by in haste
One fleeting breath and it is gone
Building history; stone on stone

There is nothing we can do
To bring the past back into view
But with the moment in our hand
We may do the best we can

For in the future we may see
Reflections of our history
Because of what we did today
With moments as they slipped away

Janet

The song is based on the Biblical Psalm 137:1-4, a hymn expressing the yearnings of the Jewish people in exile following the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem in 586 BC: Previously the Kingdom of Israel, after being united under Kings David and Solomon, was split in two, with the Kingdom Of Israel in the north, conquered by the Assyrians in 722 BC which caused the dispersion of 11 of the 12 tribes of Israel. The southern Kingdom of Judah (hence the name Jews), home of the tribe of Judah and part of the Tribe of Levi, was free from foreign domination until the Babylonian conquest to which Rivers Of Babylon refers.
“ By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion... They carried us away in captivity requiring of us a song... Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land? ”

The namesake rivers of Babylon are the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The song also has words from Psalm 19:14:
“ Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight... ”

It is one of a few pop songs whose lyrics come directly from the Bible (See also Turn! Turn! Turn! by Pete Seeger, 40 by U2, and The Lord's Prayer by Sister Janet Mead). The melody bears a strong resemblance to "How Dry I Am".

In the Rastafarian faith, the term "Babylon" is used for any governmental system which is either oppressive or unjust. In Jamaica, Rastafarians also use "Babylon" to refer to the police, often seen as a source of oppression because they arrest members for the use of marijuana (which is sacramental for Rastafarians). Therefore, "By the rivers of Babylon" refers to living in a repressive society and the longing for freedom, just like the Israelites in captivity. Rastafarians also identify themselves as belonging to the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

Yes zombie67, that is what we call "marés vivas" and when some windy condition joins to the tides that always happens. The average waves for the Portuguese coast are about 1,5 meters but we can have till 40 meters as we can see by this wave surfed by Garrett McNamara on January 2013 and that is the biggest wave ever surfed. This picture was made in Praia do Norte Nazaré as a prove that he did it.

We have all the Atlantic Ocean with no barriers and in spite we are used to it sometimes people are carry from the beaches for those waves what generally means to die considering the Ocean conditions.

That is why Garret McNamara comes from Hawaii to Portugal to surf but he is not the only one ... he is so to say a bit more crazy than usual. I was seeing that page you posted and it was the same stormy weather.

The glowing jumble of gas clouds visible in this new image make up a huge stellar nursery nicknamed the Prawn Nebula. Taken using the VLT Survey Telescope at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile, this may well be the sharpest picture ever taken of this object. It shows clumps of hot new-born stars nestled in among the clouds that make up the nebula.

Duke, where did the image go?!?!? All I see is that nasty red X...

I can see the image very normal. I will try the url maybe you can see it as I do. Maybe some software problem is preventing you to see it.
