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
“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 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
Unas florecitas para saludar el mundo esta mañana. Una para la gente que quiero, los que están a mi lado y los que ya no están pero todavía tan presentes en mi corazón: les mando todo mi cariño. Una para la gente que no me quiere, que despiertan dolores antiguos en mi, pero que a la vez me dan esta maravillosa ocasión de desarrollar mi compasión y de crecer. Otra para mi, que me la autoregalo :-) Y la última para el mundo, para que cesan la envidia, los rencores, los conflictos y las venganzas. Creo que el mundo se merece mucha compasión para que reine la paz entre los humanos.
Some tiny daisies for starting this new day. One is for the people I love, the ones who are by my side, the ones who have already gone but still so present in my heart: I send all my love to them. One for the people who don't like me, who wake up old wounds in my heart, but at the same time give me such a wonderful occasion to develop compassion and to improve my self. Another one for me, I treat myself :-) And the last one for the world, so that envy, resentment, conflicts and revenges disappear. I think that our world needs a huge amount of compassion so that peace reigns among the humans.
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

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 :-)

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
"..,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 .

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
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
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
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.
Ah, I'm finally done. My take on District 18 for the LEGO Speeder Bike contest, it took two whole weeks of literally nothing but building, and I was really worried near the end that I wouldn't finish, but here it is at last, and it was a lot of hard work! If you have any compassion, enjoy the angles in the base, please, haha. I think that was crazy. But, anyways, I hope you like it. I've been really wanting to do a dystopia build for a long time, but I couldn't get the inspiration, so this contest really made me happy and I was glad to enter! Great categories, and speeder bikes are quite fun! Everyone else did an awesome job and I will have a tough time in all the categories, and thanks to the folk who set up this unique contest. (Note on the contest, the third speeder bike is there in the metro station.)
One little thing I'll point out is that the Nike billboard uses paper from the sticker on the box LEGO send out, so it's purist, although lol, I have third party parts elsewhere so why go out of my way? Attached using transparent LEGO stickers too ;) .
Well I'm very glad to be finally done with this, and to those who have been waiting I hope it pleases you!
I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

“Happiness will bloom
With fragrance and beauty
If you plant the seeds of love
With a deep driving desire
in the garden of hope
And nurture with tenderness,
Compassion, and care;
If you are always eager to share.”
― Debasish Mridha

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.
Listen with the ears of tolerance.
See through the eyes of compassion.
Speak with the language of love.
Rumi
