I was asked to design a new hero graphic for the compassion sunday service for this year.
The direction I was given was to include a global aspect while also communicating the work with children.
I realize it might be hard to make out the "child continent", but felt it would still communicate.
Any feedback on how to better incorporate children and/or any other design critique is very welcome. Thanks for keeping this creative community strong.
The opposite setup as the previously posted photo. I really wanted to capture her intense and loving eyes. No editing here, as raw as can be. What a great woman! The gaze says I'll love you know matter what and I'll take care of you while at the same time warning you not step out of line! The perfect Yin and Yang that a grandmother must have.

Cyanotype from an inkjet
5 hours in the winter sun.
Kwan Yin has always resonated with me, goddess of compassion, it's so inviting. The details of her face are obscured in this cyanotype, as though she is universal and we can all see our own faces here.
When I'm making cyanotypes at home, I can't really check on the progress, generally I leave it in until I have to run out the door and then I get what I get. Sometimes I get nothing, other times, like this, when an image does come through, I feel like I'm less the creator of this image than the facilitator.
Photage 157: Today was just one of those days when I need to wrap myself in compassion and give myself a break.
**ParenTeen Challenge**
As a parent of a teen, and as a teen, there are many a day when you will need to wrap yourself in compassion and give yourself a break. I encourage you to do so whenever the need arises. And my hope for you is that your relationship with your teen and/or with your parent can be a source of strength and support. I am deeply appreciative to my own teen who gave me the biggest hug today when she saw that I felt less than 100%.
Cintamanicakra, Six-Armed Nyoirin Kannon ( Avalokitesvara 梵深遠 )
The defining attributes of Nyoirin are the wish-granting jewel (nyoi hōju 如意宝珠) and the eight-spoked Dharma wheel (rinpō 輪宝), which he is always holding. The wheel symbolizes the teachings of Buddhism and the eight-fold path. The deity's name is thus commonly translated as "Bodhisattva of the Jewel and the Wheel." A less-common translation is "Omnipotent Kannon."

I closed my eyes
I took a deep breath
I looked up -
'Hello you'
I said
With love
'Today, you are enough'.
We sighed.

This is one of the photos from a Power Point presentation explaining a study in Augusta, Georgia about a street named for Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The “Claiming A Street Named King” Project is the brainchild of Rev. Terence A. Dicks of Augusta, Georgia.
These photos depict homes, building and abandoned structures along Martin Lutheran King, Jr. Boulevard in Augusta, Georgia.
It began with research in Athens and Augusta (Georgia) through the University Of Georgia School Of Environmental Design.
Research was led by Dr. Mary Anne Akers in collaboration with Georgia Legal Services Program, Georgia State Trade Association of Non-profit Developers (G-STAND) and Neighborhood Works America, INC.
“Claiming A Street Named King” Project study in Augusta, Georgia – conducted along Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard - shows areas that need economic assistance – and that’s the same issue in many American cities that have streets named for civil rights leaders

Strengthening Essential Health Services is critical to make health systems more resilient to situations of crisis said PAHO Director
15 Nov 2021
Roseau, Dominica, November 12, 2021 (PAHO/WHO) – Recounting the global situation pertaining to Covid-19 outbreak in Dominica, Dr. Etienne affirmed that “although the situation is challenging, it is not hopeless”. “If our approach to defeating the virus is based on collective vision and individual responsibility, based on science and evidence, based on empathy and compassion, based on partnership and leadership, we will come out of this pandemic faster.”
The Director also declared that PAHO’s work in other priority health areas must be implemented in parallel to the work for the pandemic response. “We urge all countries in the region to ensure that essential health programs are addressed and invest in health to make health systems resilient in time of crisis,” the Director said.
Dr. Etienne, attending a special ceremony to hand over medical equipment and supplies for the covid-19 response in Dominica, reminded the health officials that, before the first Covid-19 case was detected in the region, that PAHO was working with development partners, donors, governments, and leaders to prepare for the outbreak, and quickly respond to save lives, protect health workers, and stop the spread of the virus in the Americas.
In March 2020, PAHO dispatched a team of experts to Dominica to advise national authorities on the organization of services for prevention, surveillance, public health measures and management of cases. “The first country in the Eastern Caribbean that had the capacity to carry out PCR testing was right here in Dominica,” said Dr. Etienne, “because previously we had installed equipment for the diagnosis of dengue, which could also be utilized for Covid-19 testing.”
In respect to the clinical response to the Covid-19 care in Dominica, the Director stated that “most recently, PAHO deployed for 2 weeks an emergency medical team and nurses from Spain, who along with PAHO personnel from the Barbados Office and provided training and development of protocols for the management of Covid-19 protocols.
In his response, the Prime Minister, Hon Roosevelt Skerrit acknowledged his appreciation to PAHO as a very reliable, committed partner of Dominica over an extended period and especially during challenging periods. With much pride he also saluted the leadership and dedication of Dr. Etienne.
“PAHO has been at the forefront of providing advice, guidance and the mobilization and coordination of resources,” said Prime Minister Skerrit. “When this pandemic became a serious national, international and global concern, the bigger countries hoarded resources and we needed to have someone who could coordinate on behalf of small states like Dominica.”
Prime Minister Skerrit lauded PAHO for stepping in and doing a remarkable job in not only mobilizing resources but ensuring that Member States have access to resources especially vaccines, to combat the virus in their respective countries.
The Ministry of Health, Wellness and New Health Investment was the recipient of several items made available by the Pan American Health Organization to address the Covid-19 response. PAHO’s Director, Dr. Carissa Etienne, was on hand to officially present the items to the Hon. Dr. Roosevelt Skerrit, Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica.
In his remarks, Hon. Kent Edwards, Acting Minister of Health, Wellness and New Health Investment noted that the items to be received are significant, vital, and will continue to make the performance of their duties much easier. “These have been challenging times, but the staff has been dedicated and resilient and much of this I attest can be tied to the fact that the resources needed for the performance of the duties are being provided to them, and so as ministry and country we are grateful to PAHO,” he said.
The following items were handed over during the ceremony:
Two buses to support vaccination outreach, this is in addition to previously 2 minibuses, 1 car and 2 sixteen seaters, to support various aspects of the COVID response
7 portable computers (tablets) for Immunization Surveillance/ registry to facilitate data entry at community level
Ice Packs and Vaccine Carriers for extension of the vaccination program
20 Nebulizers to strengthen Health System
20 Pulse Oximeters for patient management
7,500 personal protective equipment (PPE) for protection of Health Care workers
Gene Xpert Machine, laptop and kits to strengthen laboratory capacity
30,000 PCR kits to continue screening in addition to 60,000 kits previously provided

The 2013 Festival of Faiths opened with an interfaith service, A Call to Compassion at the Cathedral of the Assumption in Louisville, Kentucky on May 14, 2013.
This call is heard in every faith tradition because it is heard in every heart. It is a call heard in sacred silence, which directs attention from the self to the other, creating a pathway to compassion. Local faith leaders recalled the observance of Sacred Silence within their respective houses of worship through their sharing of prayers or readings reflective of their religious traditions.
