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.
John Connolly
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.
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....

The little prince watches in awe…
I was so excited when I found out that an old friend, Anya Ohmai, returned to our shared creative universe. She was always kind and helpful, and she always inspired with her beautiful images, as well as her creative builds and mesh collections. So, needless to say, I was doubly excited when I found out that she, joined by her partner, Mr. Ohmai, also returned to building amazing creations for our world! I wanted to create an image that not only showcased some of their new mesh sets but also conveyed my admiration for a talented old friend. Thank you for creating magic that inspires, Mr. & Mrs. Ohmai!
I envisioned my universe with the help of their brilliant new creations:
James & Dew’s Sciopticon Projector!
James & Dew’s Chaise, Side Table, and Tapestries, which are all part of the Astrology Lounge Set!
James & Dew’s Fireplace, Flame, and Candlestick, which are all part of the Classically Neon Set!
James & Dew’s Squirrel Lamp, and Block Lamp, which are both part of the Sylvan Shades Set!
Visit the James & Dew Marketplace!
In addition, I was inspired to create my world with the help of the following exceptional pieces, which were imagined and brought to life by one of my closest friends, the incomparable iBi:
8f8’s mystical woods (framed artwork), private knowledge (books), and stuck in time (hourglass), which are all part of the forgotten secrets collection!
8f8’s Spring Trinkets Table!
8f8’s Storyteller's Burrow Old Rug!
Thanks to the three of you for helping to make our world a magical place that is filled with wonder!
And to ALL of you out there…
Let’s keep building a world founded on kindness and compassion!
Let’s keep inspiring one another with our creative visions!
Let’s keep shining our light so bright!
YOU are wonderful!
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 stimulus to change can come only from the “intellect,” the seat of the image of God in man, and man’s capacity for God, which can be drawn out from the passions of the soul into compassion, and which does not lose its responsiveness to God’s word. The intellect remains the sanctuary of free decision, which imparts to all human performance its worthiness or worthlessness.
-Despondency The Spiritual Teaching of Evagrius Ponticus on Acedia, Gabriel Bunge translated from the German by Anthony P. Gythiel

- 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
Compassion : the act of showing kindness, support, and a desire to alleviate someone's suffering without necessarily sharing their emotional experience.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive. - Dalai Lama
I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. - Lao Tsu
True compassion means not only feeling another's pain but also being moved to help relieve it. - Daniel Goleman
Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men. - Confucius
*Working Towards a Better World
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive. - Dalai Lama
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! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
"One can only face in others what one can face in oneself. On this confrontation depends the measure of our wisdom and compassion"
James Baldwin
we can be our own worst critics or we can meet ourselves with kindness. each of us possesses inner beauty and wisdom. we just need to get quiet and look inward, with curiosity and compassion.
[41:52, if a photographer is compassionate, much is given; it is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument]
Last year this climbing rose had grown on the wall up as far as the house guttering so it was severely cut back. The reward this summer is like a small waterfall of beautiful pink with a typical fragrance reminiscent of peaches.

Many thanks for visits.
When you act with compassion you will never be wrong. -- Yogi Tea
First Fall morning of needing a jacket when headed out to exercise. Working on my miracle morning, exercise - check, silence - check, photo - check. Feeling like a champ today! Remembering today and honoring the memories of those who lost their lives 16 years ago.
she sat on a throne of cold stone, the city a blur of indifferent passersby at the edge of her vision. the world was noise, but her kingdom was quiet. a rustle of wings, a hundred hungry bodies, a sea of grey feathers parting before her. she extended a hand, and with a simple gesture, she offered sustenance. it was a silent contract, understood only by her and the birds. for a few minutes, she was not just a woman on a step, but the calm, certain center of a swirling, grateful universe.
