Compassion.
Exposition (MAS, Antwerp, Belgium).
Stained glass window - The Sermon on the Mount (ca. 1600).
Souvenons nous " lorsque l'horreur frappe, c'est toujours le ceour qu'elle vise le premier" ( Yasmina Kahdra). A chaque fois c'est le coeur de notre humanité qui est meurtri et à chaque fois nous voulons croire que la haine et la mort ne seront pas victorieux et nous nous relevons pour continuer à bâtir ensemble un monde que nous souhaitons plus juste, plus aimant et plus solidaire.
Everlasting Loving Compassion's.
Elegantiarum radiorum videndo pacem laudate sublimia exempla vocationibus preces,
gracieuses coeurs habitation joie éternelle miséricordieux Saint Seigneur écoute toujours plus,
תשוקות ראש קרן חסדים אביריים אשכולות ברקים אהובים,
decreti giusti durevoli statuti misericordia amorevole comandamenti sorta verità larghe,
щедрые удовольствий замечательный свобода справедливость остается вне ангелы быть высоким,
oriau dewraf twilights dwyfol dawel helaeth,
springing chuimhneacháin ceaseless ragairne paidreacha amhráin worthiest aloft,
ακλόνητη άγιοι παρουσία μεγαλοπρέπεια την ομορφιά προς τιμήν μεγαλείο πανηγυρισμούς θεμέλια,
ハレルヤ集会同情のは、いつまでも耐える直立知恵.

I decided to take time off from my job today and go take some photos. I spent the whole day driving around getting shots of birds, flowers and people. On the way home I ran across this stranger at the corner of Crystal Hill Road and Interstate 40. When I saw him and his sign I realized he didn't have a job to take time off from. While I have all I need and there is nothing I "must have" he isn't so lucky. My wife made me pull over and give him five dollars.She's like that but for some reason I didn't mind.
I know there may be some who don't feel this way and I respect that. For me, however, that's the way I am. Have a great weekend.

I hope things will get better, I do not understand why or how sometimes, I just hope there can be more understanding and compassion between each other. Conversations are needed with those that we do not understand in hope that one another can learn to appreciate the goodness and kindness we all can share. Open our eyes to realize that we can make a difference and have a voice. Better to accept that we can then to wonder where will the road go from here.
My friend, Alissa, has tons of really fun tattoos. She is lucky in that she is currently trading babysitting services for tattoo work...hour for hour!
Inside the Front Shrine (The Great Compassion Shrine) stands a statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, known as Kuan Yin in Chinese. Nan Tien Temple, Wollongong, NSW.
Have a great week end everyone !
I was witness to a true act of compassion today. The old man in the photos was panhandling in the freezing cold when suddenly a girl approached him and after a brief conversation gave him a bag full of winter clothing (Jacket, scarf, etc.). The old man was speechless and so was I watching this. She wished him well and after a warm goodbye, left. It was a touching scene to see. It made my heart warmer to know people like her still exist. People who care and offer hope to all of us, in so many levels.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. ~Dalai Lama
Compassion is a mind that is motivated by cherishing other living beings and wishes to release them from their suffering.
Compassion.
Exposition (MAS, Antwerp, Belgium).
Round glass window with the act of mercy (Antwerp, 19th century).
“In the beginning people take compassion to mean the feeling of wanting to alleviate the person’s pain or take it away from them. That’s usually what people think compassion is. A deeper level of compassion is, of course, taking action whether you feel inclined to or not.
Compassion is a kind of healing agent which helps us to tolerate the hurt of seeing the truth. The function of compassion in the Work is not to reduce hurt; its function is to lead to the truth. Much of the time, the truth is painful or scary. Compassion makes it possible to tolerate that hurt and fear. It is on the side of truth, and helps us to persist in our search for truth. The truth will ultimately dissolve the hurt, but this is a by-product. In fact, it is only when compassion is present that people will allow themselves to see the truth. Where there is no compassion there is no trust.” - A. Hameed Ali
"Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you, the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, Here I am."
- Isaiah 58:6-9
This window from a former Unitarian church in Nottingham reminds us of what a true Lenten fast is.
“It is lack of love for ourselves that inhibits our compassion toward others. If we make friends with ourselves, then there is no obstacle to opening our hearts and minds to others.”
Sorry, Minnie.
Personality Paradox - Part III
The events of the past few days have had a big effect on my creativity.
I hope you all understand that the series insinuates nothing to anyone, it was just a cool idea that came to me, so I am going with it. Go with the creative flow.
"In the midst of her tears came the thought, "When people are in danger, they ask God to save them;" and, slipping down upon her knees, she said her prayer as she had never said it before, for when human help seems gone we turn to Him as naturally as lost children cry to their father, and feel sure that he will hear and answer them."
— Louisa May Alcott

OK, seriously, we have the best listeners in the world. I have got to brag on them!!
Our "3 Days of Compassion" has come to an end, and our final total of children sponsored through Compassion International was 839!! That number is way crazy awesome!!! Our listeners have now produced over 6,300 responses in 6 marathons since 2002 - by far the most by any one station in Compassion’s history!
"Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into places of pain, to share 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 Nouwen.
Lourdes is a place of compassion and love, often a revelation of the best in Catholicism.
By the power of your single aspiration from countless eons long past,
now seeing clearly the vision of the supreme yidam deity,
Even though I do not abide in the essence of supreme enlightenment,
Even though I have been born wandering in samsara for successive lives,
Bhagavan Yamantaka, accept me.
I've always loved animals. They bond unlike humans. I think that is because all they do is live.
Yes. We humans also live. But we also have egos that warp our perception. Animals do have a hierarchy. But it's not ego driven. It's survival driven.
I myself once being male oriented knew love. But as the feminine side took over. Compassion was spawned. And l became a more loving nurturing person. And l myself believe it started with animals. The helpless amongst us.
And so just as l care for a goat that lost his mother. Giving it peace and comfort. And just as l stroked and comforted, Jamie's baby last week. I await my brother and his family at the lake this weekend. And I'll just do with them what l learned from my animal friends. Give love. Because. Sometimes that's all you have. But sometimes. That's all they want.
