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.

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.
"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
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
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.”

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.

Compassion needs to walk with wisdom. Although you have a good intention, you may do wrong and harm others. ~ Sheng Yan
慈悲要有智慧同行，缺少智慧的慈悲，很可能自害害人。~聖嚴
“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
Bandierine tibetane sulla Culmine di Dazio -SO-
-Tradizionalmente le bandiere di preghiera sono usate per promuovere la pace, la compassione, la forza e la saggezza. Le bandiere non contengono preghiere per gli dèi. I tibetani credono piuttosto che i mantra vengano sparsi dal vento, e le buone intenzioni e la compassione pervada lo spazio intorno. Di conseguenza si crede che le bandiere di preghiera portino beneficio a tutti. - (da Wikipedia)

Hinterhöfe üben eine besondere Faszination aus, weil sie oft als versteckte, intime Rückzugsorte mitten in der urbanen Landschaft fungieren. Sie bieten:
Authentizität und Geschichte: Viele Hinterhöfe sind historisch gewachsen und tragen die Spuren vergangener Zeiten in ihren Mauern, Pflastersteinen und Bepflanzungen.
Begegnung von Natur und Architektur: Die Mischung aus alter Bausubstanz und begrünten Elementen schafft einen interessanten Kontrast, der visuell ansprechend ist und gleichzeitig das Stadtbild auflockert.
Hinterhöfe haben oft einen besonderen Reiz, da sie verborgene Oasen im urbanen Raum darstellen. Neben ihrer Ruhe und Intimität bieten sie häufig überraschende architektonische Details und natürliche Elemente, die den Blick auf das Alltägliche verändern.
Pietà
Die Pietà ist mehr als ein biblisches Motiv: Sie ist ein Fenster, das uns Einlass gewährt in das Wechselspiel von Schmerz und Trost, Tod und Auferstehung, Vergänglichkeit und Liebe. Ihr ewiges Schweigen spricht Bände, weil es Raum schafft für unser eigenes Mit-Leiden und die leise Hoffnung, die selbst in der dunkelsten Stunde nicht verstummt.
Fernab religiöser Grundüberzeugungen spricht die Pietà heute Menschen an, die persönliche Verluste betrauern: Abschied von Geliebten, Zerstörung von Lebensentwürfen, globale Katastrophen.

Fascination of Inner Courtyards
Inner courtyards hold a special fascination because they often serve as hidden, intimate retreats amid the urban landscape. They offer:
Authenticity and History:
Many courtyards have evolved organically over time and bear the traces of bygone eras in their walls, cobblestones, and plantings.
A Meeting of Nature and Architecture:
The blend of old building fabric with verdant elements creates an engaging contrast that is visually appealing and helps to soften the cityscape.
Inner courtyards often possess a unique allure, as they represent secret oases within the urban environment. Beyond their calm and intimacy, they frequently reveal unexpected architectural details and natural features that transform our perception of the everyday.
Pietà
The Pietà is more than a biblical motif: it is a window that grants us entry into the interplay of suffering and consolation, death and resurrection, transience and love. Its eternal silence speaks volumes, for it makes room for our own compassion and the quiet hope that never falters, even in the darkest hour.
Far removed from any specific religious creed, the Pietà today reaches out to those who grieve personal loss: the farewell to loved ones, the shattering of life’s plans, or even global catastrophes.
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.
"Compassion arises / from the condition that / all elements are at the right place."

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.

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

I'm in the middle of watching Bourdain's Parts Unknown in the DRC, and it reminded me of my trip to Tibet. The DRC is one of two trips (with the KKH in Pakistan being the other) that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do. When I was younger, I watched TV shows about the bush pilots and more recently followed a couple's journey traversing the country. I can only hope the situation in the world improves and I can do both; if not, I am so happy, heartbroken, and stirred to be able to travel with Bourdain tonight.
