Peakers appear to display a general willingness to explore and experience states of consciousness differing from their usual states of being and are 'open' in the broadest sense of the word.

[…] he that shall act, or cause that Law to be executed, makes himself the Commander, or willer of it, which was originally the Will of others:
If the universe shows God to be a great thinker, there is good reason why we should take the next step, and affirm that God is also a great Willer. First of all, we do not know anything about thinkers that are not willers. Thought, so far as we have ken of it at all, is always accompanied by volition.
What impressed me particularly was the mental and muscular superiority of these two officers. Despite their age—the mate sixty-nine and the second mate at least fifty—their minds and their bodies had acted with the swiftness and accuracy of steel springs. They were potent. They were iron. They were perceivers, willers, and doers.
Bridie! Bridie Kelly! He will never forget the name, ever remember the night, first night, the bridenight. They are entwined in nethermost darkness, the willer with the willed, and in an instant (fiat!) light shall flood the world.
gloss: One who leaves an inheritance by writing a will.

For if the actuality of a last will and testament takes effect only with the fact of the death of the willer and testator, then strictly speaking, what decides inheritance is not the will of the giver but his decease.
Also, if the heirs were two(2)sons, and a grand daughter her father died during the life of the willer, also the value of the compulsory will for her is one third (1/3ʳᵈ.) of the heirship, because its^([sic]) the share of her farther^([sic]) in the heirship if he was alive.

bokeh
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Topics: arts
hobbies
lifestyle
photography
Etymology: Learned borrowing from Japanese 暈(ぼ)け (boke, “blur”), the nominalized form of 暈(ぼ)ける (bokeru, “to blur”).
The terminal -h, absent in the romanization boke, is a pronunciation guide so that it is not pronounced as /boʊk/ as it would be under standard English orthography. Contrast karate and karaoke, which have undergone sound changes.
The term has been used since at least 1996, with the spelling bokeh introduced by editor Mike Johnston in the March–April 1997 issue of Photo Techniques magazine, Johnston writing “it is properly pronounced with bo as in bone and ke as in Kenneth, with equal stress on either syllable”.

Senses:
gloss: A subjective aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas of an image projected by a camera lens.
pos: noun
tags: uncountable
usually
examples: The quality of the out-of-focus area in a wide-aperture image is called bokeh, originally from the Japanese word boke, pronounced bo-keh, which means fuzzy. In photography, bokeh reflects the shape and number of diaphragm blades in the lens, and that determines, in part, the way that out-of-focus points of light are rendered in the image. Bokeh is also a result of spherical aberration that affects how the light is collected. Although subject to controversy, photographers often judge bokeh as being either good or bad. Good bokeh renders the out-of-focus areas as smooth, uniform, and generally circular shapes with nicely blurred edges. Bad bokeh, on the other hand, renders out-of-focus areas with polygonal shapes, hard edges, and with illumination that creates a brighter area at the outside of the disk shape.
Shooting with natural light, I used a long lens (200mm) to compress the space and slightly blur the background by photographing at a large open aperture (f/2.5). This resulted in gorgeous bokeh, putting the city into a blur while keeping the couple razor sharp.
More expensive lenses usually go down to f/2.8, letting you shoot at faster shutter speeds and get great, creamy bokeh in your background.
