Day 75/365 :: MUSIC
For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface, getting it back to that humble and tender spot where, with luck, it can lose its anger and become compassion again.

My wife Elisabeth. She's just great!
Taken in our hotel room in Rome. Title inspired by the wonderful song from Lionel Richie.
"Endless Love" is a song written by Lionel Richie and originally recorded as a duet between Richie and fellow soul singer Diana Ross. In this ballad, the singers declare their "endless love" for one another. It was covered by soul singer Luther Vandross with R&B singer Mariah Carey and also by country music singer Kenny Rogers. The song also was featured in the movies "Beethoven" and "Happy Gilmore." Billboard has named it the greatest song duet of all time.
So here comes the cover version by Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey: Endless Love
And let's see, what Wikipedia says about Love (it made me smile ;-):
Love is an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment. In philosophical context, love is a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection. Love is central to many religions, as in the Christian phrase, "God is love" or Agape in the Canonical gospels. Love may also be described as actions towards others (or oneself) based on compassion, or as actions towards others based on affection.
In English, love refers to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from pleasure ("I loved that meal") to interpersonal attraction ("I love my partner"). "Love" may refer specifically to the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love, to the sexual love of eros, to the emotional closeness of familial love, or the platonic love that defines friendship, to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love. This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.
Love may be understood a part of the survival instinct, a function keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.

I can't believe this rose survived being transplanted from my late father's garden in the blasting heat of last summer. It sat in the wheelbarrow for several weeks waiting and waiting and I thought we'd lost it for sure; but no, it flourished merrily, and I love it.
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile,
a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
-- Leo Buscaglia --
that which we acquire by contemplation we should spend in love.

The peony symbolizes many things, but right now, the world needs more compassion. Shot black and white in camera, and am impressed with the result.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
~"The value of compassion cannot be over-emphasized. Anyone can criticize. It takes a special person to be compassionate. No greater burden can be borne by an individual than to know no one cares or understands.” Arthur H. Stainback
~“The dew of compassion is a tear.” Lord Byron
~“Make no judgements where you have no compassion"
~“Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.” Henry Ward Beecher.”
~“Man may dismiss compassion from his heart, but God never will” William Cowper
~“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.”
~“No one has ever become poor by giving.” ― Anne Frank
~"The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His COMPASSION'S never fail. They are new every morning; Great is God's faithfulness" Lamentations 3:22-23
"DARE TO BE" (this is good : )
"When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light. When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it. When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway. When life seems to beat you down, dare to press on. When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some. When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going. When times are tough, dare to be tougher. When love hurts you, dare to love again. When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal. When another is lost, dare to help them find the way. When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand. When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile. When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too. When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best. Dare to be the best you can – At all times, Dare to be!” ― Steve Maraboli
Hi Everyone...I will be around as I can to view your treasures, lots going on right now : )
Have a great day my wonderful and very talented friends : )
As I was walking Madrid the other night I passed nearby a shop of religious images. It was closed and without any light. Streetlights lightened this virgin graciously, as if she wanted to say something. And she did... She told me about compassion, told me we are never alone, that we are always loved.
The way she offers a hug of Light touched my heart.
Blessings and Happy Weekend to Everyone!
A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day. A string of such moments can change the course of your life. ~ Christopher Germer
