A (Full Circle) night
what we see in the moon is a humble mirroring of Light
could you “unveil” your heart in True illumination?
(please read every page, carefully, being intentionally designed to befriend you)
your thoughts and your voice
A blank first page, to be…
(i’ve had to keep my silence in this just as the moon, just like the night sky)
The August 2022 full moon – a supermoon – rises near sunset on August 11. As seen from around the world, the bright “star” near the full moon is really a planet, Saturn. Earth will fly between Saturn and the sun on August 14, bringing the ringed planet opposite the sun in our sky. Also, look for a true star – Altair in Aquila the Eagle is higher – near the full moon.

Also, Thursday night
An excerpt from a post by [The Temple Institute] in Jerusalem:
THE HOLIDAY OF TU B'AV - THE 15TH DAY OF AV!
Thursday evening begins a very special one day festival - Tu b'Av - literally, the 15th (day of the month of) Av. Coming just six days after the 9th of Av, which is without a doubt the saddest day on the Hebrew calendar, Tu b'Av is a complete turnaround from Tish'a b'Av. What is it all about? Why is it so happy?
The mishna taught that "Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel said: There were no days as happy for the Jewish people as the fifteenth of Av and as Yom Kippur. The Gemara asks: Granted, Yom Kippur is a day of joy because it has the elements of pardon and forgiveness, and moreover, it is the day on which the last pair of tablets were given. However, what is the special joy of the fifteenth of Av?"
Our sages cite the following reasons:
5 "the daughters of Israel would go out in borrowed white garments [All of them borrowed, even the rich ones,] so as not to embarrass those who could not afford their own. And the daughters of Jerusalem went out and danced in the vineyards.
And what did the girls say? 'Young man, lift up your eyes and see what to choose for yourself (as a bride). Do not look for beauty; look for family.' (Proverbs 31:30): 'Favor is false, and beauty vain; a G d fearing woman — she is to be praised.' (Ibid. 31): 'Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her deeds praise her in the gates.'"

And this excerpt from a post by John Parsons:
In addition to our Torah readings, on the 15th day of the month of Av we observe chag ha-ahavah (חַג הָאַהֲבָה), or "the holiday of love." Since it marks the "last" festival of the Jewish year, prophetically the 15th of Av (called Tu B’Av) pictures our marriage to the Lamb of God (Seh Elohim), the LORD Yeshua our beloved Messiah. On a soon-coming day those who belong to the LORD and are faithful to follow His ways will be blessed with the unspeakable joy of an eternally intimate relationship with Him. This is heaven itself - to be in the Presence of the LORD and to be regarded as His beloved (Rev. 19:6-9). Maranatha. [Hebrew for Christians]

A personal note:
As the Bride of the eternal King (the Body, the global Church who has become the Temple of the Spirit of Light) beautifully and mysteriously known as a pure Queen (A new Eve) we await a time of metamorphosis of body at the point of (A secret elopement) for a heavenly marriage to come…
the Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!”
(this is a spiritual marriage and the Spirit is as an engagement ring)
some have fallen “asleep” in the waiting but there will be those who are alive at the time when it arrives.
for the Spirit has been sent to earth to search for a Bride (like a bride was sought for Isaac in ancient times) by realizing that we are first chosen by Love (by God our heavenly Father) and so we “unearth” this pure truth that is (already inside) by opening up to experience a rebirth of the spirit (as a baptism of the heart) and a renewing of the mind, also to experience the sign of the body being baptized in water to mirror this inner transformation
(inside, Anew)
this faith and hope in Love is a divine matter of what we think and “believe…” in the heart and speak (in silence & sound) through a body of garden earth about the Son, making Him our Lord and King. even though we cannot hear our Creator’s voice speaking audibly to us, beyond a few cases, and we cannot see God, yet the invisible Spirit is here to abide within our own as God’s Heart and thought-life to inspire our thoughts and voice, and to illuminate the writing of the Scriptures that point to eternal truth.
(A new covenant of grace)
do you see how writing (in rings) is a proposal of this friendship?
A sacred Book has been formed through much patient time to sew this all Together
(from Genesis to its rebirth)
And we also see marriage on earth reflected in this in our Creator’s design of a husband becoming as “One” body with his wife, a spiritual and physical connection. a physical connection of sex is actually a sacred bond and is the reason for waiting until marriage, thus virginity is pure in our Creator’s eyes just as sex within marriage since He made our bodies, in male and female, and our sexuality.
(the personal writing of my heart as a book has been made to be a mirroring of the eternal tapestry)
A pure Winter’s dream
this is the “calling”
i don’t need to call out loud for someone who is willing to respond (in heart, in body)
writing is the path of a dream that i chose to follow…
i want to make a clear connection with someone’s thought-life to first meet from a distance (to read & write inside)
from the instrumental womb… (A starting line)
someone who is willing to speak of the same even before we see each other face-to-face, even before my voice is heard
the (Waiting) to be found and engaged with (willingly)
please kindly disregard a phone call of the past (tense)
but a seed of writing has been reborn.

Beyond the Archives: How Remote Projects Benefit OHIO Researchers, Libraries Collections, and Staff
There is an endless amount of work to be done in the digital archives field. When most of the country faced job losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, online transcription provided Ohio University Libraries was able to pivot to remote work for staff and student workers with tasks that could be accomplished remotely. Contributing to the Libraries’ Digital Archives allowed the libraries to continue contributing to the access and discovery of library collections even when the library itself was closed.
The University Libraries’ Digital Initiatives unit (DI) has long relied on the work of student employees to enhance the digitized primary resources with transcription of cursive materials and correction of auto-recognized printed text. Already accustomed to engaging with the Digital Archives, many of them demonstrated versatility, pivoting to online transcription within a couple of weeks of the initial COVID-19 shut down in March of 2020. Utilizing the web-based software platform designed for collaborative transcription called FromThePage, DI quickly transitioned from using on-site software to working from home. “Before long, participants grew to include not only students within our department but staff and students interested in remote work options throughout the library,” Digital Imaging Specialist and Lab Manager Erin Wilson says.
Without the experience of working with Archives and Special Collections materials — both analog and digital — it might be difficult to fully understand the hidden labor that preserves and makes accessible those contents. “Transcription is vital for accessibility and discoverability of online resources,” Wilson says. “Particularly for handwritten materials, where the text is not easily detected with software.”
University Libraries’ Digital Archives include a range of materials from past and present-day eras, such as the Don Swaim Collection, which includes nearly 900 recorded interviews and radio broadcasts with contemporary authors. “I think some people might assume that archival collections are strictly for old books and documents or that they’re most relevant to someone studying history,” Wilson says.
Library Support Specialist Jeff Fulk particularly finds transcribing questionnaires from the Cornelius Ryan Collection of World War II Papers satisfying. The questionnaires bring to life the first-hand accounts of soldiers during World War Two. Transcribing audio collections, such as the author interviews in the Swaim Collection, can be intimidating for him. “I'm more of a visual person,” he says. Luckily, the Libraries offer a variety of transcription projects, allowing transcribers to pick and choose between projects.
As a photographer herself, Library Support Associate Sandy Gekosky appreciated the opportunity to create descriptions for the Peter Goss Photograph Collection, which contains the 1960s work of OHIO alumnus and architectural historian Peter Goss. Although different from transcription, description is another time-consuming hidden labor that some remote library workers have been offered the opportunity to work on. According to Wilson, description “involves tagging and assigning metadata, such as titles and locations, to image files so they can be more easily discovered and understood by users.”
In the Goss collection, Gekosky loves seeing photos of how Athens, her home of 30 years, has changed over time.
“Did you know there was a railroad once that went through Athens?” she asks.
Transcribing since 2019, John Higgins, a Federal Work-Study Student Assistant in the DI unit, has learned just how important transcribers are, especially those who, like Gekosky, take extra time to provide the most accurate transcripts. “It may be easy to go online and look for these documents and sources, but the process by which they get onto the internet is one that is filled with precision, accuracy, awareness, and real passion by the people who do it,” he says. Although many people using the transcripts will not understand the hidden labor that Higgins and others have contributed to the archives, he takes pride in knowing that he took part in documenting history.
Prior to the pandemic, sophomore Kathleen Tuley worked for the Collections Assessment & Access department through the Federal Work-Study program. The amount of work she was able to do onsite in the department decreased with the pandemic; however, she was able to continue her job through the remote transcription projects offered by DI.
Tuley completes the final step in the transcription process. She reviews, or proofreads, completed transcripts from the Ryan Collection, making sure “every word matches perfectly,” she says. As they are completed, the corrected transcripts are then added to the Libraries’ public collections in batches. It’s critical that transcribers provide accurate transcription for future users, which is why Tuley says reviewing is more difficult than it may appear.
Library Support Specialist Kim Brooks began transcribing in the early days of remote working during the COVID-19 pandemic. Brooks says that deciphering handwriting, although atrocious at times, is a satisfying accomplishment. She particularly enjoys transcribing the Board of Trustees minutes from the late 1800s and early 1900s. “They are not at all easy to read,” Brooks says, “So I feel a great sense of accomplishment in learning to decipher the handwritten documents.”
Although at times the material is challenging to work with, transcribers work diligently to improve University Libraries’ archives collections so that students, faculty, and researchers everywhere have access to these accurate, valuable resources. “I found safety and security and stimulating work that produced hundreds and hundreds of digital files online of valuable information for researchers at Ohio University to access in the future wherever they may be,” Gekosky says.
