My Christmas wishes for you are...
COMPASSION to give to those that you feel are alone and are in need of a friend.
UNDERSTANDING with those that are different from you.
FORGIVENESS to those that in some way have hurt you.
PEACE, that all hate and wrongdoings come to a stop and only allow the beauty of love to surround you.
PATIENCE when you find yourself in desperate moments. Keep in mind that God never abandons you.
HEALTH for you and all you love ones (including your pets)
HAPPINESS in everything you do and encounter in life.
BEAUTY in everything you see, feel and listen to.
But most of all, I wish for you a heart full of LOVE,
love to spread abundantly where ever you may go.
That you may give it to others in handfuls and receive it back it in the same matter.
Have the most wonderful Christmas and may God bless you all and your families and the whole world!!!
With TONS of Love

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.
Mahatma Gandhi
The world says: "You have needs -- satisfy them. You have as much right as the rich and the mighty. Don't hesitate to satisfy your needs; indeed, expand your needs and demand more." This is the worldly doctrine of today. And they believe that this is freedom. The result for the rich is isolation and suicide, for the poor, envy and murder.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.
Socrates
When morality comes up against profit, it is seldom that profit loses.
Shirley Chisholm

Skippy envisioned his universe with the help of 8f8's incredible new collection entitled The Sweetest Spot!
Born from the seeds of love, each richly detailed piece in this amazing new collection is bursting with life. Warm soft cookies, beautifully baked breads, colorful puffed macaroons, each treat is perfectly crafted to delight the senses. Each piece helps to tell a story, from the blueberry plants that are harvested for delicious muffins to the rosemary sprigs that playfully decorate crusty baguettes, from the delicate metalwork in the whimsical bread wheel to the sturdy light-filled Garden Shed where all of the magic happens. All of the ingredients come together to build a magnificent, warm, and inviting world that can only come from the delicious imagination of the uber-talented 8f8.
So bring your friends, grab a chocolate chip cookie, and explore The Sweetest Spot!
And a special thank you to my beloved friend iBi for helping to make our world a more magical, story-rich, and love-filled place.
Keep shining bright, everyone!

Since COVID started infecting people all over the world and many were dying, I started thinking about compassion. We think we have it so hard when we have to stay indoors, or just walking about our neighbourhoods, but compared to the very ill and their families, as well as all the front line workers, we have it good, and we’re safe. I had a couple of days when I guess I could say I felt sorry for myself for not being able to get out, but then I really realized that I’m one of the lucky ones! And I feel so much compassion for all the unlucky ones and those whom this worldwide curse is affecting the most. Even if people aren't sick, so many are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks and fear.
So I decided I wanted to create a piece on compassion. I tried a couple of times over two weeks, but with lighting issues and other problems, I gave up for awhile. But determination took over, and although I know my lighting isn’t the greatest, and this isn’t a technically good photograph, it’s what I wanted to convey. As I only had myself to shoot, I am both people in the image (which had its issues as well), but I didn’t want any faces shown, as this is a universal issue. Having to be in both roles reminded me that we need to have compassion for ourselves as well. I hope that this conveys my feelings in creating this image. We are all in this together and compassion and empathy are what we need.

Red Rebel Brigade symbolises the common blood we share with all species,
That unifies us and makes us one.
As such we move as one, act as one and more importantly feel as one.
We are unity and we empathise with our surroundings, we are forgiving
We are sympathetic and humble, compassionate and understanding,
We divert, distract, delight and inspire the people who watch us,
We illuminate the magic realm beneath the surface of all things and we invite people to enter in, we make a bubble and calm the storm, we are peace in the midst of war.
We are who the people have forgotten to be!
Red Rebel Brigade was devised by Doug Francisco and Justine Squire from Bristol’s Invisible Circus for the Extinction Rebellion Spring uprising April 2019 in London
"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy practice compassion".

Waiting for the elevator doors to open, I noticed Thay gazing at the clock above the doors. Then he said, “You know, Jim, a few hundred years ago it would not have been a clock, it would have been a crucifix.” So simple but so startling a comment. He was right. More than a tool of social coordination, the clock has become a quasi-religious object in our world, a symbol of unity, a collective conveyer belt, a symbol so powerful that it could depose the crucifix.
-EYES OF COMPASSION Learning from
Thich Nhat Hanh, Jim Forest
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....

Let's keep doing everything we can to create a just world founded on kindness, compassion, and understanding.
Remember that justice grows out of recognition of ourselves in each other — that my liberty depends on you being free too.
Stay strong, and keep speaking out against all forms of injustice.
Sending love, light, and hope, my friends.
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 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!

“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
For the ‘Art is Immortal’ art exhibition, ‘The Art of Compassion’. 14/04/2024
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.
