"We need women who are so strong they can be gentle, so educated they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate, so passionate they can be rational and so disciplined they can be free."

"Regrets equal life and learning, all wisdom earned.
Bridges built with people and opportunity don’t need to remain forever burned.
You can not turn back the clock on yesterday.
But now and tomorrow are forever yours, to live your way.
There is little that can’t be undone or forgiven.
When one remains compassionate, forgiving and driven.
Find what matters, own your choices, allow those unheard to have their voices.
It is true that what one treasures, another may throw away,
but perhaps the most valuable thing of all,
for which we can agree,
is that we are given today."
- Charlotte Smyth, "Never Too Late"

simplicity, patience, compassion.
these three are your greatest treasures.
simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
patient with both - friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are.
compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.
― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
Known better to me as a green plant in black and white.
P.S I found this plant in a gutter while walking my dog. I am a compassionate person so I took it home and stuck it in a pot. Its a rescue plant and loves me very much. True story

Let us fill our hearts with our own compassion - towards ourselves and towards all living beings.
Thich Nhat Hanh
The sixth month of the year, so six promises ....
I promise to try to listen and love compassionately
Take time to savour the delights of nature
To laugh more and see the lighter nature in humanity
To take risks creatively
Take time to count my blessings and give thanks
Strive to create Heaven on Earth in my garden and anywhere else if at all possible

Love is not extreme liking.
Love is not passionate but compassionate.
Love is not blind but sees everyone as family.
Love doesn't burn but cools the fires of lust.
Love is not personal but human.
Love does not patronize but empathizes.
Love emanates.
Love engulfs.
Love radiates
on rocky crag and furrowed field alike.
I can love people I don't know.
I can love people I don't like.
I can even love those I love.

Great Spirit, who exists before you are in every person and every thing, we invite you to come from the distant places in our present existence.
Big Spirit of the North, giving wings in the air of water to flow and rain and snow, covering the earth with the crystal carpet over which every sound is beautiful, we stand in front of you.
Fill us with the strength to withstand the snowstorms and help us to thank you for the beauty that springs from the warm earth when it wakes up.
The Great Spirit of the East, the land that rises in the sun, you hold in your right hand the years of our lives and on the left the opportunities of every day.
Prepare us not to reject your gifts, nor to miss the hope of every day and every year.
The Great Spirit of the South, where your warm breath melts the ice around our heart, its aroma speaks from distant springs and summers, dissolved our fears, melted our hatred, burned our love with the flames of truth.
Teach us that whoever is truly powerful is also polite, whoever is wise is also merciful, whoever is brave is also compassionate.
The Great Spirit of the West, the land that the sun is tilting, with the bare mountains and lawns, bless us with the knowledge of peace and freedom. Teach us that the end is more important than the beginning, and that the sun does not reign in vain every day.
The Great Spirit of the Earth, lord of the metals and the stones, guardian of the treasures of the earth, help us to thank you daily for your countless springs that keep us alive and for your untold beauty!
I lost my Baby Sister Patrice to complications from Surgery. It still does not seem real. I had to keep checking my phone messages when I woke thinking it must have been a awful dream. But it was not. She was gone. It was so sudden and unexpected we all are struggling with the realization that My Beautiful Sister is gone. So I have picked this pink rose to honor her. Her wonderful smile, big and given freely to anyone who crossed her path. She was Beautiful incredibly intelligent and compassionate. She had a great sense of humor and I can still hear her giggle. She was so filled with light and love. I will miss her dearly.

..Looking at living beings with compassionate
eyes makes you feel wonderful. You do not change
anything. You only practice seeing with the eyes
of compassion, and suddenly you suffer much less.
What are the eyes of compassion? The eyes are to
look and to understand. The heart is to love. "The
eyes of compassion" means the eyes that look and
understand. If there is understanding, compassion
will arise in a very natural way. "The eyes of
compassion" means the eyes of deep looking,
the eyes of understanding.
"A simple smile. That's the start of opening your heart and be compassionate to others."
Quote – Dalai Lama
“Smiling is definitely one of the best beauty remedies. If you have a good sense of humor and a good approach to life, that’s beautiful.”
Quote – Rashida Jones
Happy start of your weekend ;-))
A very observant and compassionate friend noted that Momo was not included in my previous "Family Holiday Picture". She hasn't been feeling very well lately, but she is getting better now and consented to posing for this portrait. So now she gets the spotlight all to herself. Here is my real life (dark chocolate) fur baby, Moriah, wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

In 1937 Ernest Hemingway traveled to Spain to cover the civil war there for the North American Newspaper Alliance. Three years later he completed the greatest novel to emerge from "the good fight," For Whom the Bell Tolls. The story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain, it tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, and the tragic death of an ideal. In his portrayal of Jordan's love for the beautiful Maria and his superb account of El Sordo's last stand, in his brilliant travesty of La Pasionaria and his unwillingness to believe in blind faith, Hemingway surpasses his achievement in The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms to create a work at once rare and beautiful, strong and brutal, compassionate, moving and wise. "If the function of a writer is to reveal reality," Maxwell Perkins wrote to Hemingway after reading the manuscript, "no one ever so completely performed it." Greater in power, broader in scope, and more intensely emotional than any of the author's previous works, it stands as one of the best war novels of all time.

I know that I am just one day old but I promise myself to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong.
Giving thanks for the compassionate people.
The lovers, helpers, givers and healers, who see more that just themselves, who move through the world with open hands and not closed fists.
Thank you. Keep going. It matters.

remembering those days
of better things

and dont seem to mind
the fact that a new brighter day is
here
in my heart
i can say i find
its very kind compassionate and merciful

✨ Sabes, es la ternura la que te hace vulnerable, la que te abre, la que te hace sensible al misterio que te rodea...
Las personas que no son tiernas, que son duras como una roca, se pierden la vida.
¡La vida pasa, no puede penetrarlos, son impenetrables!
La vida es una alegría para aquellos que son tiernos, gentiles, amorosos, compasivos, sensibles.
¡Así que séas un corazón!
Aunque tengas que perder la cabeza, piérdela, vale la pena...
Es hermoso no tener cabeza pero es muy feo no tener corazón. ✨

The telephone that never rings
The letter that the mail won't bring
Could I have had you in my life
For just a moment in the night?
I want to kiss you night and day
And watch the sunlight fade away
The evening twilight on your face
So beautiful I can't erase
I'd fly (3)
Like an oasis in my life
A dream that fades into the light
And now you've slipped away from me
I live each day so restlessly
Mountains and oceans I would cross
Without your love I will be lost
Oh, to the corners of the earth
Better or worse
I'd fly (4)
I'd fly to bring you back to me
Across the mountains and the sea
We'll find a place forever more
Where you are mine and I am yours
I'll kiss your lips and make you free
For you there is no stopping me
Another night I cannot sleep
I toss and turn beneath the sheets
An empty bed where once you slept
A promise only if it's kept
I'd fly (4)
I'd fly to bring you back to me
Across the mountains and the sea
We'll find a place forever more
Where you are mine and I am yours
I'll kiss your lips and make you free
For you there is no stopping me
Without your love I will be lost
Oh, to the corners of the earth
Better or worse, /I'd fly/
---------------------------------------------------
✨ You know, it's tenderness that makes you vulnerable, that opens you up, that makes you sensitive to the mystery that surrounds you...
People who are not tender, who are hard as a rock, lose their lives.
Life passes by, it cannot penetrate them, they are impenetrable!
Life is a joy for those who are tender, gentle, loving, compassionate, sensitive.
So be a heart!
Even if you have to lose your head, lose it, it's worth it...
It is beautiful to have no head but it is very ugly to have no heart. ✨

This is the most compassionate word in the world and it can be found in almost every book, yet people turn themselves away from it. The important thing to note here, is that it does not require any efforts to come close to it, just love it.
Sufi Sama or Dhamaal is a special dance style unique to Sufis in Pakistan and India. The rhythmic beat of dhol i.e. drums, sometimes accompanied by other instruments, makes men sway and whirl their bodies into unusual and fascinating shapes.
In Sufi shrines in Pakistan, such as the Lal shrine in Sehwan, Sindh, the practice of Sufi whirling is called Dhamaal and is performed to honor Sufi saints. Unlike the Turkish practice, Dhamaal may be practiced by any devotee – priests as well as pilgrims. Dhamaal is usually preceded by the beating of a drum (naghara) and ringing of bells, as pilgrims raise their hands, start to skip steps standing at one place and gradually work into a trance as the beats get faster. As the beats get faster, rhythms change and the drum beats are accompanies by the playing of shehnai.
In fact such practices were not taught by the last prophet of Allah, Muhammad (peace be upon him). These are innovations in Shariah (God's Law).
The Prophet (peace be upon him) states, “The best speech is that which is embodied in the Book of Allah, the Al Quran; and the best guidance is the guidance given by me, Muhammad. The most evil affairs are the innovations ( bid'ah ), and every innovation ( bid'ah ) is an error”
God ordered Muslims not to divide themselves into sects. Innovations and divisions in matters of religion and worship within Islam are considered to be contamination, error, and deviation. Earlier heinous deviations from monotheism, such as worshipping creation, resulted in condemnation by God. (However, innovations in other matters, such as science and technology to improve life, are greatly encouraged.) God, The Most Compassionate, has told us through His last Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), when Muhammad (peace be upon him) was nearing the end of his life, that He had completed the religion of Islam. Muslims must recognize that any change in matters of worship is strictly forbidden. No change introduced by humankind, who is under the influence of Satan, could ever add anything positive and would only contribute to the degradation of the completed and perfected religion established by God. All innovations in matters of religion lead to straying, and all straying leads to hellfire. People must not allow any deviation (addition or deletion), even as small as one degree, in matters of worship. If any changes are allowed, those deviations will be compounded by future generations, and the result will be another man made religion, not the Islam as it was perfected by God, The Truth. To build a faith using a “shopping cart” approach or the blind following of any religious leader is inadmissible.
The changing of God’s laws is forbidden in Islam. God condemns religious leaders who alter divine principles. One who attempts to make changes places him or herself on the same level with God, committing polytheism. An example of this would be to make the killing of innocents lawful. The laws of God are perfect and do not need to be “modernized” by anyone. God allows us the freedom to obey or disobey Him by choosing to follow His faith or to follow our own desires. However, He forbids us to change His religious principles.
The spread of sama or dhamal among Sufi orders began sometime around the mid third/ninth century C.E. in Baghdad, eventually finding acceptance and favor in Persian, Turkish and Indian sub continent. The custom of sama evolved in practice over time as it complemented Sufi dhkir, whirling and among some orders dancing and a meal.

Good luck with everything, honey :) xxx
“Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a 'hot mess' or having 'too many issues' are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.”

"A simple smile. That's the start of opening your heart and being compassionate to others."
Quote Dalai Lama
~~~“A wall in Ostend is absolutely on top of my bucket list,” said Ghent street artist Kitsune recently in an interview. "Then I would have come full circle.”
Well, the time is now! By the way, what she meant by coming full circle: the artist entered the street art scene as an intern of The Crystal Ship. There, she learned a lot from the artists she assisted, but she soon also developed her own spirited, intimate style (including a uniquely saturated colour palette).

Happy Thanksgiving with gratitude to all my talented Flickr friends for sharing your amazing images!
Bless the Lord, my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul,
And do not forget any of His benefits; Who pardons all your guilt, Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with favor and compassion; Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle. The Lord performs righteous deeds
And judgments for all who are oppressed. He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the sons of Israel. The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in mercy. He will not always contend with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our guilty deeds. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our wrongdoings from us. Just as a father has compassion on his children,
So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. For He Himself knows our form; He is mindful that we are nothing but dust. As for man, his days are like grass; Like a flower of the field, so he flourishes. When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place no longer knows about it. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting for those who fear Him, And His justice to the children’s children, To those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts, so as to do them. The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all. Bless the Lord, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word,
Obeying the voice of His word! Bless the Lord, all you His angels, You who serve Him, doing His will. Bless the Lord, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the Lord, my soul!
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these."
George Washington Carver
I am standing here
In the cold
Tell me why
Why I feel so old
Is it the lack of your love
That I feel
Or is that why I still come here
Hoping to find something real
Your reputation precedes you
Endless forgiveness
For lifelong problems
Nothing new
Pushed to the point of asking
Desperation crawling
Fraying at the edges
You have heard it all
But because I do come here
Means that I have not forgotten
Life gets in the way of love
Simple joy and conversation
My breath plumes out in the air
And I seek your warmth
Longing to finally share
That endless loving singular care
So bring me in from the cold
Tell me I am never too old
Alone or too foolish
Tell me I can still believe in it all
*****
NOTE. The written piece below was composed before the events of the earthquakes on Monday the 6th February. I have kept the wording the same, as I feel that the points that I have raised are even more pertinent now.
…………………
It was a cold day, on February 1st, in 2020 at about 4.30 in the afternoon as the sun went down. I remember standing there, looking at the snowdrops and wondering if I would be coming back to see any more that year, as news of the virus was gathering pace, and soon, nothing would ever be the same again.
Covid has left its scars on our world, and continues to do so, and many would say that the isolation caused by the lockdowns to combat the virus that many endured [and that some still endure with necessary self-isolation] have been worse for people and their well- being than the virus itself.
Other events have left a domino effect in their wake, and none of us have been immune to those.
What can creative people do in the face of such terrible times in our world? We need to do what we always do; show our love, despair, anger, compassion and even humour in our work.
If we care we still need to reach out this way, show people that they are not alone, that we understand. Call it a responsibility if you like.
It is the least I can do. I hope other writers and photographers will feel the same. A beautiful photograph can brighten someone’s day. A compassionate piece of writing or poetry can help release emotion in someone who is struggling. Some things are felt rather than spoken, they are seen and remembered, stored away like a treasure in the mind.
Show you understand.
Is this world worth saving? I think so, if we can for a while longer. It is our home, before we journey on to the next, if that is your belief. How much better it would be if we could all leave peacefully.
This image was taken in Glynde Churchyard, East Sussex, UK, on February the 1st, 2020, at 4.26 in the afternoon. I have been back since. I count myself fortunate.
This image is paired with Lisa Gerrard’s ‘Keson’ [Until My Strength Returns]. Believe and it will be possible.

“Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.”
- Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching -

I may not have my group "Working Towards a Better World" up and working anymore, but that has not stopped me from continuing to work towards a better world, with love, where we work together as a team, accept and support our diversity, respect our differences, and enjoy one another.

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
