"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - BJ Wasmund
"Compassion", one of our home's abstracts, made a subject for my amateurish attempt on composites. Just learned it this afternoon before going out to dinner, taught by rein.
This was the kitchen at the Compassion Project we visited. They fed 200-300 kids every Saturday out of this smoke-filled shack.

This rose has a very special meaning to me. I had to take a photo of it, to remember that day... (:
Exams currently in progress. Have a lot of photos I want to go through and upload, but I've been trying to cut down dA time (since I usually spend so much time on here) - but today I just finished with one exam so I can afford to take a bit of time off till the next one (:
There was another arangetram last night. Altogether 7 gals and 1 boy will be doing their arangetram.
I loved the speech by the gals father, it was heartfelt, personal and super humorous. He had us laughing in stitches.
Everyone at home, dancer included has started freaking out, didn’t help that they announced lavin’s date at the end of the evening. So Sunday ppl please have us in your mind – I’m a big believer in positive vibes. Everyone who is coming for Sunday see you there ;)

Appears to somehow sum up the day. Charter for Compassion Institute course publicity makes the point... "The skills that contribute to the various components of Emotional Intelligence may be viewed as pre-requisites to the development of compassion--in individuals, in families, in the workplace, in communities, and in the interconnected societies of people throughout the world."
16.10.2015. Friday: twm calls for early morning coffee. Cool morning reaches heady heights of 10/11C. Some light drizzle around early afternoon... on the dismal side with highlights provided by the cumulo congestus appearing amidst the cumolo stratus clouds. Some real towering cumlus spotted over the past few days. Potential compromise of computer this afternoon. Change critical passwords (fast on separate computer) and ensure antivirus updates (try AVG pro - 1 month free). Scan identifies adware and trojan. Appears clear.
I came across a fine horse 'spoiling' ms mcgonnigal's favoured dandelion patch earlier in the year... a skewbald with fetlocks and everything else. They seemed to get on well. There was no bully about him and they touched noses. It was I... the human who was the one perturped about the secret dandelion stocks. So came across a poem from Radio 4 Poetry Day. It dwells upon the rawness of rural neighbours (not unlike as "The Field" and a long-remembered French film (google prompts me it was Jean de Florette. Featured a dispute over a water source). Not claustrophobic as the hideous small town scenarios in every small town. So here it is...
EPIC by PATRICK KAVANAGH, 1938
I have lived in important places, times
When great events were decided : who owned
That half a rood of rock, a no-man's land
Surrounded by our pitchfork-armed claims.
I heard the Duffys shouting "Damn your soul"
And old McCabe stripped to the waist, seen
Step the plot defying blue cast-steel -
"Here is the march along these iron stones."
That was the year of the Munich bother. Which
Was most important ? I inclined
To lose my faith in Ballyrush and Gortin
Till Homer's ghost came whispering to my mind.
He said : I made the Iliad from such
A local row. Gods make their own importance.
