*Working Towards a Better World
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
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
"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 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 :-)

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.

One of three photos of Magnolia blossoms taken in my MDR condo complex today.
" Magnolia is a large genus of about 210 flowering plant species in the subfamily Magnolioideae of the family Magnoliaceae. It is named after French botanist Pierre Magnol. Magnolia is an ancient genus. Appearing before bees did, the flowers are theorized to have evolved to encourage pollination by beetles. " - Wikipedia
Stay connected, healthy and hopeful
These beautiful camellia flowers are now in full bloom and I simply had to use them in a still life — the blues of the vase and background are a perfect complement to the rich pink of the flowers. I particularly like the way the flowers are reflecting in the chimney of the oil lamp making pink vertical highlights
If you've known much about me for the last few months, you know at least a little bit about my wife. So I thought I'd take the time, and this lovely photo, to rave about her a bit (what better raving subjects than the ones we love, right?).
Not only is she an amazing photographer, especially for a "beginner" of sorts, but she is just an overall amazing person. Sometimes I am just blown away by the compassion she has, even when it sometimes becomes more than I can handle...in particular, her love of animals is something that astounds me every day. She'll be the first to tell you I get frustrated by it some days, but even in frustration I understand her love for those who are virtually helpless without us. Since we moved into our current apartment, she had been helping another neighbor take care of several of the strays in our complex. When those people moved out, they actually left 2 of their own cats behind, which Liina has been keeping an eye on also. Our main little buddy, Hunter has been limping a bit the last few days off and on, and this morning we took him to get checked out...when my wife thanked me, i realized how such a small thing that doesn't have any direct effect on her own life can make such a huge impact on her.
Through all the good times, and more importantly through all the bad, and really bad, times, she has been there right by my side and I must rave about her for that...she is my true 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.
