"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
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 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

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 :-)

A single bloom, provisionally identified as Rosa ‘Compassion’, held as the sole point of clarity while the surrounding garden recedes into shadow and softened light.

"Let's shift our human consciousness from the old level of animal instinct and survival and fear into a higher level of understanding Compassion and Love."
In the lands of the universe
there is no place where
She does not manifest Herself
Compassion wondrous as a great cloud,
Pouring spiritual rain like nectar,
Quenching the flames of distress!
—from the Lotus Sutra
"..,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 needs to walk with wisdom. Although you have a good intention, you may do wrong and harm others. ~ Sheng Yan

“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.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

This vision was created with the aid of my muse (my wife).
Listen with the ears of tolerance.
See through the eyes of compassion.
Speak with the language of love.

I decided to go for a pint and went into a local pub near my home. The elderly lady came over to the table next to mine and looked a little lost, but the lady came over to sit with her.
I noticed that the lady listening had an expression on her face that spoke volumes. Caring and listening.
