It's okey to be vulnerable

Last year I went to see the cherry blossom event at Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. The garden was open at night for a short period of time, a rare opportunity. This is the stone garden at the lower house.

 

At tonight's dinner we had a conversation about leadership. My take: You don't need to be tough. It's okey to be vulnerable if you live a live with a Buddha mindset. Make decisions, communicate them well, and deflect inevitable arrows pointing your ways with your shield of conviction. There is no need to get emotionally involved. Stop, look, go. In other words, reflect, analyze, execute. Regular meditation helps me live with a Buddha mindset.

 

I processed a paintery, a balanced, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive feedback.
