This image brings me calm.
It feels like everything is still, gathered,
yet already prepared for the day that will soon arrive.
For now, everything is silent.
The boats lie overturned, like thoughts set aside to rest.
The night holds its final breath
before yielding to the light.
There is no anxious waiting,
only a full, conscious stillness.
The world is suspended,
and for a moment, it asks for nothing.
Questa immagine mi mette calma.
È la sensazione che tutto sia ancora fermo, raccolto,
ma già pronto per il giorno che arriverà a breve.
Ora tutto tace.
Le barche sono capovolte, come pensieri messi a riposo.
La notte trattiene l’ultimo respiro,
prima di cedere spazio alla luce.
Non c’è attesa ansiosa,
solo una quiete piena, consapevole.
Il mondo è sospeso,
e per un istante non chiede nulla.
Abbess Venerable Master Yi Lai at the 2006 Buddha Birth Day Festival. Supreme Court Gardens, Perth. Large.
Did some googling to find out who the person is... found out that she was appointed the abbess of Fo Guang Shan Temple in Maylands, W.A. in 2000.
While searching, I also found some interesting Dharma talks at www.bswa.org. There is a interesting talk on Desire by Ajahn Brahmavamso. (mp3)
This is what happens when challenged to try & come up with the worst, most pitiful plays on the overused Internet meme "Keep Calm & Carry On"....

Thank you everyone for your warm welcome back messages and comments yesterday.
Arena Cove, in the community of Point Arena, CA, is a calm, sylvan spot to rest at. Large sandstone cliffs shelter the cove from strong northwest breezes. On this afternoon, it was quite warm, and very comfortable.
St. Andrews Cemetery, Roanoke, Virginia.

I took this tonight, Chris and I took Barney and Poppy for a walk, the water was so calm(which is more than I can say for Popp!) The refelctions were lovely.
Friday night came easy and calm, with another day of Saph missing, my frustration levels were getting on very high. Em, was hurted, after the Spellbound was attacked and she wasn't fit to work. Thankfully the bar was going on an easy night beside the fact it was Friday and the Bad Moon was close because of a shot out. I meet the photographer of the pornshop that give me some interesting facts about the place and was a nice talk after all. Then later both Em and Aileen arrival, with all the crowd focus on themselves, we could easily talk about Helena's death and some of her whereabouts before she got missing and found again cutted in pieces. We all agreed that something wrong was coming to the town and suspicious were pointing out to a certain kind of creature that be elusive as well as viciously evil. So with that in thought my mate and I escorted Em to her home to be sure she arrived safely and continue with what we have ahead.

Hello Aaron!
Here's a lovely shot from last Sunday -- Easter dinner. Sadly, of about 30 pictures this is the only one where she isn't crying or blurry (from being rocked to make her stop crying).
The food was great, but boy was our baby cranky! She's really a dream most of the time, but for some reason at large family gatherings she gets some major frowns going on. Passover was much the same, with Carina barely getting to eat her meal.
We think that in the future we'll keep her in a front carrier so that she doesn't get passed around as much and can stay close to mom or dad. That approach has seemed to work the best at parties previousy, so we're not giving up hope on family dinners just yet.
I particularly enjoy her chubby thighs in this picture. Her legs are really quite cute.
Emilia -- say hello to Aaron!
Hope your week was full of chocolate and good cheer,
Rick

I am making mandalas to increase my ability to find peace and calm during these shocking & horrible times in my country. My inspiration comes from my Buddhism. Viewers are invited to make their own meanings. I am using things in my cupboards, from my walls and garden and trying to focus my mind on the goodness and compassion I know still exist at hand & in this world.
This mandala made from purple scarf, plates, leaves and porcelain Buddha

Happy New Year everyone. I've been gone for so long now, I barely even remember how to use Flickr. I know, not a very good capture. Hopefully, I will get back into uploading more frequently. :) See you all soon.
Trying to create a positive attitude towards Aspergers syndrome When all else fails and your stuck on a puzzle, a question, even a dilemma ask a person with Asperger syndrome and you will be surprised just how intelligent we are. An aspie is one who has Asperger's Syndrome, which is believed to be part of the autism spectrum. Aspies, while being quite gifted verbally, have social, emotional, and sensory integration difficulties, among others. Aspie is an affectionate term, and is not meant as a put down. Use this t-shirt to promote awareness of autism. I designed this t-shirt to draw the attention how intelligent Aspies are. (Aspie. n. a person with Asperger Syndrome. Asperger syndrome (AS) is a neuro-biological communication disorder affecting key aspects of social awareness and interaction, language usage and sensory integration.)
