I want to have another beautiful summer day
For see the green of nature
I want to live a hot summer night
For see the moon being born from a passion
I wish I could rule the time
Candy sky and summer
I wish I could rule the Earth
to make a big heart of her
Yes, it's love and compassion
Not war and loneliness
Yes, it's love and compassion
The world and all it's beauty
The wind blows, the storm comes
That will wash me from all evil
With the clouds you can not see
The blue sky that's above us
And the lights that will come to light us
I want to have another beautiful summer day
For see the green of nature
I want to live a hot summer night
For see the moon being born from a passion
(my own translation from Bruno Mad - Dia de Verão/Summer day)

Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.
Dalai Lama
There is a nobility in compassion, a beauty in empathy, a grace in forgiveness.

Compassion is about giving all the love that you’ve got.

THE COLOR “RED” IN CHINA
Of all the colors, “red” attracts the most attention. The people considered the red color auspicious and a color that expresses honor.
Time has passed, but the thought of respect for the color red has not changed. No matter where and when (in China), people use red color to express happiness. People see the red color as a symbol of happiness, success, loyalty and justice (see also: the mask in Peking Opera).
And especially in China, it is believed that the red color has the effect of keeping bad and evil away from the human body:
Red lamps are hung on New Year's Day, the firecrackers have a red cover, the banners on the door are red.
In addition, many are accustomed to wearing red in years when the number "9" occurs, to avoid the evil. Therefore, it can be said that the red color is China's lucky color, bringing people stability, happiness and prosperity

thank you for all your visits
First, my apologies for the somewhat poor composition. I took this shot literally the first week I touched a camera. Regardless of my inability to capture the moment well though, I couldn't help but make an attempt.....not only was the Cathedral breathtakingly beautiful, but note at lower right the young person unable to walk (who later I found out was paralyzed in an auto accident) being carried to the front of the church for prayer.
This is at Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe, NM.

It's been a few years since this rare visitor has made an appearance this far south. Last fall saw a bumper crop of conifer cones (spruce, fir, hemlock and pine) in New England and Eastern Canada. This enabled the Nuthatches to be very productive breeders this past spring/summer and we may have a good Red-breasted Nuthatch season. They've been reported at many parks, nature centers and refuges in the area.
Let your compassion come to me that I may live,
for your law is my delight.
May the arrogant be put to shame for wronging me without cause;
but I will meditate on your precepts.
May those who fear you turn to me,
those who understand your statutes.
May I wholeheartedly follow your decrees,
that I may not be put to shame.
Psalm 119:77-80
"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy practice compassion".
Dalai Lama
The little man shares a gift…
This special present is not only for my robot friend but also for all of you!
And today is a special day because we're all alive and here together.
I wanted to share that I am grateful for all of you, for your kindness, compassion, and support, as well as your inspiring creativity.
Let’s keep doing our part to build a wonder-full world where everything is possible.
Let’s keep lifting one another up.
Let’s keep shining our light.
And don’t worry. THIS cake is big enough for everyone!
Compassionate humans are everywhere if we are willing to open our eyes and see the kindness of those around us. Compassion is human nature.
So why dont we as humans show more compassion and kindness towards our planet, to Mother Nature, the environment and nature surrounding us. It makes me wonder. Why are we destroying the beauty of nature?
Why dont we acknowledging the need of animals, and nature in general, and the importance of their survival, as well as showing interest in their well-being, after all we need nature to be able to live here on earth.
I want to yet again praise and thank Una and Bo for putting the environment on the agenda, by making this sim.
I hope many will visit, but I also hope and wish people will take the time to sit down and reflect about what they see on the sim, this could very well be a real life scenario if we dont stop and think. By doing so hopefully we can make some changes in the way we treat our planet and the environment, we can all do something, even if little. It is a fact that global warming and climate change is effecting all of us. Some of the things we all can notice are: pollution, global warming, overpopulation, waste disposal, ocean acidification, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, ozone layer depletion, and the list goes on....

I am sorry my meager photoshop skills can't do this more justice. In the wake of evil, the symbol of the open hand is a powerful symbol. It conveys invitation, openness, compassion, and togetherness. In a time when rage begins it slow burn, an open hand can sometimes help love prevail over fury. Paris, the world offers you a hand of compassion. And, while war always seems inevitable in this broken world, may we all long for peace.
The little man’s dreams carry him to the stars…
Keep chasing your dreams!
Keep building a future founded on kindness and compassion!
Keep shining your light, my friends!
Not an entry for Looking close on Friday, just a runner-up which I took not even knowing the challenge.
Not passion flowers, but a rose called compassion with a delicate colour and a beautiful scent growing on the back wall of our house.

- the climbing rose bush in our garden is blooming in profusion this summer
- my haiku today has a total of 17 syllables, arranged in 3 lines with a pattern of 5-7-5
- I like experimenting
- I have a tendency to be verbose, was not good at précis at school and writing haiku forces me to be concise!
Use your voice for Kindness, your ears for Compassion, your hands for charity, your mind for Truth, and your Heart for LOVE.
“It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

The vampire stood in the twilight’s shadow, holding a bouquet of roses in his hands. They were a tribute to her, the woman who had taught him to love and feel compassion. He longed to feel the warmth of the sun one last time, as an echo of the human warmth she had provided him. As tears of blood fell upon the petals, the sun touched his skin, and in that moment of pain and beauty, he remembered the light she had brought into his eternal life.
In the context of the story, the vampire’s compassion for the woman reflects an emotional connection that transcends his nature. Despite being a creature of darkness, his ability to feel compassion brings him closer to his humanity. As a way to honor the woman’s memory and feel a final connection with her, the vampire risks feeling the warmth of the sun, knowing it will cause him pain. It is a symbolic gesture of his love and compassion, choosing to share the human experience of loss and remembrance.

If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff, there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that. - Ellen DeGeneres
The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others. - Albert Schweitzer
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
in our culture of busyness and distraction, important things get lost: compassion, creativity, and presence. when i'm in a rush or lost in thoughts, i more easily box people into "other." but when i pause, i see our interconnection. it's not my pain or your pain, it's just pain. i can breathe in the collective pain, and breathe out love, acceptance, and compassion—compassion for myself, for friends, for strangers; compassion for the world.
