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 : )
I was bummed because I didn't take a photo today, but no biggie. We were busy after work. And Anna asked me to look at something and I rest my head against hers to see it and Chris was like, "Don't move!" and grabbed my camera.
And I absolutely love the result.
A moment. Captured.
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

This photo came as a result of a professional makeover, styling and photo shoot in Nashville, TN in January. Both the stylist, Brittany Muse, and the photographer, Cody Stallings, were professional enough to ask what I wanted from the sessions and what motivates me.
Their caring inquiry helped me realize that my real self is happy both as a man and a woman. I learned that it is the delicate balance between masculinity and femininity that feeds my soul, keeps me healthy and stimulates my imagination and creativity. It gives me confidence and compassion.
This next series of photos, captures one version of that balance. Later you will see all femme. These are representative of both sides of who I truly am and want to be.
A number of times over my various careers, I had photographs much like this one taken for the companies I worked for or for my own company. They were for annual reports, press releases, staff photo rosters, marketing materials and the like.
They were fine. And, deep down inside, this is what I felt and wanted to look like.
Compassion.

Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival.

Compassion asks us to go where it hurts,
to enter into the places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish.
Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely,
to weep with those in tears.
Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable,
and powerless with the powerless.
Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human.
~ Henri J.M. Nouwen

This is been quite the awful week in Davis. On Thursday last week, David Breaux, who was known as the compassion Guy in Davis and would stand on this corner offering to talk about compassion, was found murdered in Central Park across the street. He was 50. A decade ago he played a role in making this bench, the Compassion Bench, on the corner of 3rd and C. A vigil was held for him last Sunday evening, but that was affected by the fact there was another murder, another awful stabbing, the night before at another Davis park. Karim Abou Najm, a 20 year old student a month away from graduating, was killed in Sycamore Park as he was coming back from an undergrad awards ceremony. A witness who came to help the victim saw the killer get away. So the Davis community has been in a state of shock since. Then on Monday night, our phones all went off with a police alert that there had been another stabbing, this time at a homeless camp on the corner of 2nd and L, a woman named Kimberlee Guillory was attacked and hospitalized but thankfully did not die, after some of her neighbours chased the perp away. Massive police hunt, FBI, and the community pulling together, and a suspect was taken in on Wednesday, and formally arrested Thursday. He was a 21 year old who had been a UCD student until two days before the first killing (sounds like he'd been expelled). The town breathed a sigh of relief but everyone is still sad and exhausted, and mourning the loss of two good people.
On Wednesday, with the police and community still hunting for the killer, I went down to Compassion Corner downtown to see the floral tribute for David Breaux. There were news reporters there talking to people who knew him, people leaving notes, or just stopping by and thinking. I have passed by this bench so many times, but never sketched it, never stopped to talk to David myself.
The Davis Enterprise has been doing some sterling reporting on the events. You can read more here: www.davisenterprise.com/news/local/breaking-suspect-21-ar...
“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
The beggars have come mostly from Romania and Bulgaria a few years ago. They can't work so they beg, or collect bottles, and in summertime they sell wild flowers. Their government needs to be seriously involved and help them, but politics aside and reality is ongoing poverty. Some say the beggars are slaves and brought here by the beggar mafia and are forced to beg. There has been lots of discussions about the issue, however, no solutions yet.

The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art houses the world's most comprehensive collection of the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) including Tiffany jewelry, pottery, paintings, art glass, leaded-glass windows, lamps, and the chapel interior he designed for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The Museum's holdings include a major collection of American art pottery and representative collections of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century American paintings, graphics, and decorative arts.
Each year, on the first Thursday of December, the Morse Museum helps launch the holiday season in Winter Park (Florida) when it lights up Tiffany windows in Central Park and presents the Bach Festival Choir, Youth Choir, and Brass Ensemble in concert. This December is the 30th annual celebration of Christmas in the Park.
