really enjoyed the Robin Roberts version! What a voice!

Splendor Solis ("The Splendour of the Sun") is a version of the illuminated alchemical text attributed to Salomon Trismosin. This version dates from around 1582.

The earliest version, written in Central German, is dated 1532–1535 and is part of the Kupferstichkabinett Berlin collection at the State Museums in Berlin. It is illuminated on vellum, with decorative borders like a book of hours, meticulously painted and highlighted with gold. The later copies in London, Kassel, Paris and Nuremberg are equally fine. Twenty versions exist worldwide.

The original of Splendor Solis, which contained seven chapters, appeared in Augsburg. In miniatures the works of Albrecht Dürer, Hans Holbein and Lucas Cranach were used. The author of the manuscript was considered to be the legendary Salomon Trismosin, allegedly the teacher of Paracelsus, though the name is believed to be a pseudonym. The work consists of a sequence of 22 elaborate images, set in ornamental borders and niches. The symbolic process shows the classical alchemical death and rebirth of the king, and incorporates a series of seven flasks, each associated with one of the then-known planets. Within the flasks a process is shown involving the transformation of bird and animal symbols into the Queen and King, the white and the red tincture. Although the style of the Splendor Solis illuminations suggest an earlier date, they are clearly of the 16th century.

Descripción:
“Era una fría mañana de Junio, me encuentro en el parque del centenario, un parque urbano en el plano de Arica, realizando grabaciones de campo para el proyecto “Mapa Sonoro de Arica y Parinacota”, en ese horario se pueden escuchar diversas especies, como Chincoles (Zonotrichia capensis), Picaflores del Norte (rhodopis vesper), Águilas (Generanoaetus melanolecus),  Cernícalos (Falco tinnunculus), Paloma común (Columba livia), Tórtolas Quiguagua (columbina cruziana), entre otras especies. por suerte la costanera que bordea el parque tenía muy poco movimiento y todavía no llegaban las familias, ya que era un domingo de día. Así  que arme el equipo y puse a grabar al micrófono zoom H3vr que realiza grabaciones ambisonic (esfera 360°) y en ese lapso de tiempo de grabación , volaban alrededor entre el follaje de los árboles una colonia de tórtolas.
En la grabación se pueden escuchar tres tipos de vocalizaciones, llamados generales, llamado de atención y vocalización de enfrentamiento entre machos. La vocalización de las tórtolas es muy interesante ya que las personas que no conocen la especie creen que es una “pequeña rana croando”. Mientras grabo el audio solo me queda sentarme, respirar hondo y disfrutar del ambiente."

Zooming into some contemplative, expansive guitar explorations inspired by the following haiku:

from the mist
a boat for cutting reeds in the morning
has begun to emerge

In response to Naviar Haiku's 464th weekly assignment.

haiku by Mizuhara Shūōshi https://haikutopics.blogspot.com/2006/05/mizuhara-hana-no-ame.html

Mizuhara Shuoshi was a 20th century Japanese poet. Shuoshi rebelled against the principles of emotional detachment in haiku, which he thought limited his ability to emotionally express himself through poetry: he started a magazine called Staggerbush which focused on a more romantic, lyrical type of haiku.
