“Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.”
(Buddha - Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.)
Since several seasons I take most of the pictures of our collections on the upper terrace which is on the top of our office in Varanasi (Benaras) in front of this amazing wall which keeps traces of each monsoon and which is magnified by a natural light.
Those fashion photographies are not as simple as they pretend to be, each is dwelling with a real social work.Among the many people involved there, Anand who is modeling for our catalogue since the begining of the company is escaping for a while his tough condition of boatman on the Ganges and, using his dark colour skin complexion breaks a social taboo in India.
The fabric of this bed cover involves handloom weavers of Varanasi struggling with their workshops and the quilting (boutis) is supplying shelter and independance to a few ladies manufacturing them.
The hand embroidery is done by men following a traditional technic since the Mughal empire.
RED HALO is a collection of household linen based in Benaras (Varanasi - India) providing work to people who were living with difficulties and education to children.
(Copying those products is against this social work)

I had a wonderful time catching up and exploring new places with Janna. How nice it is to have a day off with a good friend,
This beautiful painting of St. Francis Of Assisi hangs in the hallway outside the chapel in St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa, Florida.....I have always loved this painting!
St. Francis holds a special place in my heart!
Stories abound of how St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226) could communicate with animals and felt at one with all creation.
Every year on the Sunday nearest his October 4 feast day, Catholic and other Christian churches around the world host services where animals are blessed. These services are a powerful way to celebrate both Francis's and God's compassionate concern for all creatures.
"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who deal likewise with their fellow men."
~ St. Francis of Assisi ~

compassionate dreams........
"Oh, people downcast in despair
See the disillusion everywhere
Hoping that their luck will change
It's a little harder every day
People struggle, people fight
For the simple pleasures in their lives"
A fighter at the Sor. Puangthong camp in Isaan is being looked after of by the 'mother' of the gym after falling ill. Many gyms in Thailand have the presence of a female who takes care of the kids every day needs.
*After Sunrise*
After shooting the sunrise at Shipwrecks Beach I headed to Poipu Beach. It was still early in the morning and I couldn’t waste the good light so I wandered around looking for some blue skies and palm trees. I don’t know what it was but the sky just seemed so blue and I was really into it. I guess it must have been the overcast weather we were having in Western Washington before we left.
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” – Lamentations 3:22-23

“You can judge a man's true character by the way he treats his fellow animals.”
― Paul McCartney
Sticking with my theme for the day, here is another animal I met on my travel around RSPB Arne. A beautiful bull who had one straight horn! I have never come across this before! He was gorgeous regardless.
Anyone who knows me knows I have recently gone Veggie/vegan and this started with a compassion for the animals. Its for a simple reason really... Animals are my friends...and I don't eat my friends!
Looking forward to venturing further into the world of wildlife photography with a trip to Richmond Park coming up! Really looking forward to my first visit to see the Deer!

One Myth about the Crow:
A romantic soul couldn't hope for anything better than seeing a crow, because it means the heart's wishes will be fulfilled. The only tricky part is that the bird has to be flying from the southwest at sunset.
Old San Juan Alcoholic and homeless that people put gifts near him on Holy Week. I do not know if they do all year long. Next morning he had some more food at his feet, and he does not see who puts it there.

O Lord, as a man have I sinned, have Thou mercy on me, as the God full of compassion, seeing the feebleness of my soul.
Drupon Samten Rinpoche passed recently on June 16th and remained in the state of tukdam for several days. Kelly requested I create a piece honoring his life and could be used as a devotional piece for his center and students throughout the U.S..
Rinpoche has been very kind and generous to my family, and my vajra friends. He came to pray and support Kelly's older sister while she was in her final days in Hospice. When he was at our center in Colorado he offered the Yangzab Shitro empowerment, something I suspect he rarely conferred or ever had. He prepared everything, worked very hard, preparing for the empowerment ritual. He wanted it to be just right and paid attention to the smallest detail. In the end he created a beautiful space and shrine for us to receive this rare and powerful empowerment.
So here's what I came up with over several days since his passing. Thank you Rinpoche for all your kindness, and being a shining example of dedicated practitioner of the Buddhadharma. 🙏❤️
I'm only posting a low-res version for now, work through his center Drikung Kyoba Choling for fine art versions.
