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.

Like a glass button macro Monday

- it grows in profusion on the back wall of our house and has a scent of ripe peaches

I've brought indoors a lone rose from the climbing bush.

 

The smell of peaches is beautiful.

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....

Una feroce compassione

   

Dalla stanza dove il respiro secco

ingigantiva il passo della morte

alla soglia stellata dove la parola

prima che mi uscì fu ‘adesso resto io

era un percorso lungo nella notte

ancora fredda di marzo. Erano stelle

confuse lontanissime il sollievo

di animale che ha sfuggito lo sparo

la fortuna incerta futile di un giorno,

di qualche anno ancora, forse, di sopravvivenza,

l’ebete corsa con lo sguardo

all’orologio – l’una passata - e poi

a due che uscivano dal bar

veloci litigando scontenti

senza curarsi d’essere ancora vivi

e all’improvviso nella notte

avere sonno, ricordarsi l’ostinato refrain

di una canzone idiota, la nascita dei figli,

una cravatta sparita chissà dove,

 

oscillare

lungo l’orlo di un pozzo senza nome

tiepido nero nauseabondo,

il prima e il dopo,

quella cortina secca opaca in mezzo,

il battito dell’occhio,

ricordarsi la detestazione

gli urli e i silenzi cupi

la sua faccia angosciata alla finestra

-‘non telefoni mai’-

l’affetto suo nevrotico invadente

avvertire poi, di spalle inaspettata

una feroce compassione

dirmi come se fosse un altro a dire

con faticosa

con stentata pena

‘mia madre è morta’.

 

da 'La mia parte' P.L. 2005

"Our task must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty."

-- Albert Einstein

 

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.

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.

Yet, a giraffe could be highly dangerous. Handle with respect.

thnx so much for the faves, comments and invites, much appreciated!

- 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

Rose - Compassion

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.

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

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. - Lao Tsu

Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men. - Confucius

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
