in our culture of busyness and distraction, important things get lost: compassion, creativity, and presence. when i'm in a rush or lost in thoughts, i more easily box people into "other." but when i pause, i see our interconnection. it's not my pain or your pain, it's just pain. i can breathe in the collective pain, and breathe out love, acceptance, and compassion—compassion for myself, for friends, for strangers; compassion for the world.
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.
When you can't look
On the bright side
And are falling apart
I will stay with you in he dark
And speak softly to your heart
Until your eyes re-adjust to the light
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
― Albert Einstein
When the petals of compassion unfold fragrance spreads across the earth...
“If we could push ajar the gates of life,
And stand within, and all God's workings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find a key.
But not today. Then be content of heart!
God's plans, like lilies pure and white, unfold:
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart--
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.”
― Mary Riley Smith

Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom. Rumi

I took this picture before Skoo went missing. But I just want you to know how much I appreciate your compassion, your tolerance of my distress, your calm words and your wisdom.
I have so many lovely friends and I know they are there for me too, but this time, you've been my lifeline.
Pets are family. And I don't know how to say goodbye to Skoodles, or what life is supposed to look like, without him. But thank you for holding my hand, while I try to figure it all out.
Rosa 'Compassion' from last year's archive. I was also using the MCEX 11 & 16 extension tubes to get the Fuji 80mm macro lens even closer :-
This was the first rose that I planted over 30 years ago in my new small garden. I love the old-fashioned petal distribution and its scent is heavenly :-)

"..,The problems we face today, violent conflicts, destruction of nature, poverty, hunger, and so on, are human created problems which can be resolved through human effort, understanding, and a development of a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood. We need to cultivate a universal responsibility for one another and the planet we share.." - His Holiness, the Dali Lama - Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, 1989.
"Do to others as you would have them do to you." - Jesus (ca. 5 BCE—33 CE) in the Gospels, Luke 6:31; Luke 10:27 (affirming of Moses); Matthew 7:12 .

“Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.” ~ Frederick Buechner
Tonight I took a walk to the National Cathedral for some much needed spiritual reflection. When I got there, I found that I had made it just in time for the beginning of the Florence Nightingale Centennial Commemorative Global Service Celebrating Nurses. The service was held to honor her legacy and that of all of the nurses and healthcare workers who followed in her footsteps.
The service today reminded me of the importance of compassion and dedication. And so I thank all of our nurses and healthcare workers who look after us in our times of need.

This vision was created with the aid of my muse (my wife).
A tree in the heart of the forest reaches out to the barren sky. The sky gazes down in sorrow, seeing it naked and cold. The heavens well up and cry frozen tears at the sight of this poor tree and all it's kin. The season of sorrow once more.
This is the fourth video that I uploaded featuring this lovely Asian dancer. This time I decided to shoot directly into the sun for it's effect. The music, title and inspiration is from the band Hiroshima.

This backpack and ball near the desk on the Shamim side of The Compassion Experience are a reminder of the little boy from Honduras we sponsor.
We receive letters from his mother and she is thankful and lets us know that he is able to learn about God at the center he attends and is doing well in school because of the sponsorship.
I used a 50mm prime inside the trailer for the tour while listening to the story Compassion International tells. The space was fairly tight for the scene and the light was low. I’m so glad I have images from this experience and our Worship Pastor introduced our church to Compassion International.
