THE CAUSE
(quoted from the ZNE site here, click for full details)
"In the Spring and early Summer of 2007, the San Francisco Bay Area artistic community's bright future dimmed for an unbearable moment, when we lost two beautiful young women. On April 19, Dublin artist Gina Gabriell suffered the devastating loss of her 19 year old daughter Stevie Christine McMoyler to brain cancer, and on June 15, Danville artist Iva Wilcox suffered an equal devastation when her 17 year old daughter Brianna Lauren Grant died from complications as a result of a very rare disease - MDS - Myelodysplastic Syndrome."
...as a mother, my daughter now only 6 years old, my heart and mind cannot fathom what the mother's of these two very bright, beautiful stars are dealing with. No parent should ever have to outlive their child. Please show your support in any way you can. If you cannot bid on this or any other auction they have listed, which I hope you will with your whole hearts, please do what you can by spreading the words. Banners are available through the ZNE site.
Bidding through Monday only!
This is only one of over 100 items on auction currently. Please bid generously on any one or more of the items to help lend support to the families of these two wonderful children.Earlier this year, 24 artists responded to a caffeinated query that produced a total of 300 FABULOUS pages resulting in three separate Coffee Cartel books. Consisting of 10 pages of caffeine induced creativity by some very talented artists - including Kelli Perkins of Cloth, Paper, Scissors fame - this single copy of the Coffee Cartel is being donated in support of ZNE's Hope Sees a Star fundraiser.
THIS IS THE ONLY COPY OUTSIDE OF THE NINE COPIES OWNED BY THE ARTISTS. THERE ARE ONLY A TOTAL OF 10 COPIES OF THIS BOOK IN EXISTENCE AND NONE WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE EVER AGAIN.
Thank you all for your time and your compassion.
Namaste,
Ria :)

COMPASSION
Union Theological Seminary
Broadway at 121st Street
New York, NY
The Institute of Art, Religion, and Social Justice recently held its first exhibition, Compassion, from November 19, 2009 to January 14, 2010.
In today's shifting political, economic, and ecological landscape, the need for compassion has never been greater, compassion understood as mutual interdependence, knowledge of self and others, and concern for human flourishing. This kind of compassion requires seeking to know all aspects of human reality, being open to truths beyond our everyday experience and embedded in it. Artists often awaken compassion most profoundly. They form our imaginations such that we can envision our interconnectedness in ways that mere didacticism cannot achieve.
Compassion used the buildings of Union Theological Seminary to create a kind of pilgrimage. The works were situated in various locations to create a tour of this remarkable and often overlooked historic complex.
Alfredo Jaar's Embrace (1995), from his Rwanda series, greeted the visitor in the Hastings lobby. Scott Treleaven was featured in the James Chapel with black and white photos from Cimitero Monumentale (2009). Marina Abramovic's video 8 Lessons on Emptiness with a Happy End (2008) shared the Narthex with Yoko Ono's Whisper Piece (2001). Terence Koh's invisible installation was located in the Refectory, with its 40-foot ceiling and massive stone fireplace, nearby. If the visitor strayed to the other end of the building, she might have found Bas Jan Ader's iconic image I'm too sad to tell you in the Burke Library, echoed in the plaintive chant of Michael Bühler-Rose's liquid ritual I'll Worship You and You'll Worship Me (2009), which could be found in the upper reaches of the Rotunda. Chrysanne Stathacos' Rose Mandala Mirror (three reflections for HHDL), also in the Rotunda, was originally created in honor of the Dalai Lama. While circumnavigating the cloisters that link the various spaces of the seminary, further works by Gareth Long and Paul Mpagi Sepuya could be found.
The Institute of Art, Religion, and Social Justice was founded under the auspices of Union Theological Seminary to explore the relationship between contemporary art and religion through the lens of social justice.
Compassion was curated by AA Bronson, Artistic Director of the Institute.
The exhibition is presented in conjunction with Karen Armstrong's TED Prize 2009 of the same name.

The NHS England Excellence in Participation Awards 2013/14 were established to celebrate outstanding work from across the country that puts communities at the heart of healthcare.
This year over 200 nominations were received, across a range of nine awards. They include patients, carers, young people and members of the public who have supported NHS funded health and care.
Tim Kelsey, National Director for Patients and Information at NHS England, said: “The Participation Awards are a great way for us to celebrate the fantastic work that goes on in the NHS and the wider health and care sector. It's also a way to highlight and share best practice, while inspiring the public by demonstrating the work these excellent teams and individuals have done.”
Videos of the award winners are now available to view online.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (May 19, 2022) U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen and staff participate in the semi-annual bell-ringing ceremony in T-court, which recognizes the varsity sports that defeated Army during the fall semester. A representative from each of those sports rings the bell, along with Superintendent Vice Adm. Sean Buck, Commandant of Midshipmen Col. James McDonough, and athletic director Chet Gladchuk. As the undergraduate college of our country's naval service, the Naval Academy prepares young men and women to become professional officers of competence, character, and compassion in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.

Theme: compassion. My friends separate their recycling and leave the bottles on the curb to make it easier for the guys who collect the bottles out of trash and recycling
bins.
Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.
Jesus, suddenly a woman comes out of the crowd. Her name is Veronica. You can see how she cares for you as she takes a cloth and begins to wipe the blood and sweat from your face. She can't do much, but she offers what little help she can.
As a child, sometimes I know someone could use a little help and understanding. They may be picked on or teased by others, or just sad or lonely. Sometimes I feel bad that others don't step in to help, but I don't help either.
As an adult, I notice the needs around me. Sometimes my own family members crave my attention, and I don't even seem to notice. Sometimes a co-worker, friend, or family member could use help or understanding, but I don't reach out to help lest I be criticized, or that they demand more of me than I'd like to give.
My tender Jesus, Who didst deign to print Thy sacred face upon the cloth with which Veronica wiped the sweat from off Thy brow, print in my soul deep, I pray Thee, the lasting memory of Thy bitter pains.
Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....
Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged. And the soldiers wove a crown out of thorns and placed it on his head, and clothed him in a purple cloak, and they came to him and said,"Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck him repeatedly.
John 19: 1-3
"The truly compassion makes us truly human and prevents us turned to stone, as the monsters of wickedness of legends."

Taken at Seishinin-a Shingon Sect Buddhist temple in Kyoto. The history of the temple dates back to the Heian period and is associated with the famous poet Izumi Shikibu- who was a contemporary and rival of Murasaki Shikibu, author of Tale of the Genji. The temple was rebuilt in its current location by order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi sometime between 1573 and 1591. The grave of Izumi Shikibu is located on the premises.

This painting has a story behind it. A doctor friend of mine came to me and asked me to reproduce this picture for him. He told me that the little girl in the picture has a terminal illness, and probably wouldn't live much longer. I felt honored to be asked to do such a painting. In the painting her father is holding his daughter, and the doctor told me that they praying so that she might get better. I don't know how the little girl is doing, but I am moved everytime I see this painting, or a photo of it.
I am in a big breath training this weekend. I rise at 4 am each day, entering the ambrosial pre-dawn hours of stillness and quiet.
A very unusual indoor selfie practice today, though I cherish the rose gold glow cast by soft lights in my practice space. A moment of lovingly touching in.
This quote hung on Dorothea Lange's dark room door:
"The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention."
~ Francis Bacon
In our daily lives we may not particularly like what we hear and see, but when one has the courage to contemplate these things without error, confusion, or our imagination, then one is in a nobler place where compassion will come forth.
Compassion for one's self...,
Compassion for another...
Dorothea Lange held a compassionate eye behind her camera.
