I think Pokey's sad expression says it all; our Darla is not doing well, and we know the end is near. We saw the new vet last night, who was very compassionate. and I'm glad we made the change. I actually thought we may decide to have her euthanized last night, but Carl wasn't mentally prepared to say good-bye to her yet (Darla has always been a "daddy's girl") so the vet suggested one last ditch effort to try to make Darla feel better (we know there is no hope of a cure) We'll be doing subcutaneous fluids to try to help Darla's failing kidneys flush her system. But the vet said that if she doesn't show improvement in a week or two, it will likely be time to let her go. For now, we'll keep her comfortable and give her all the treats she wants since she surprisingly still has a pretty good appetite. It's going to be hard on us all; Pokey and Darla, together, have been such a cornerstone of our furry family for a long time. Although she sleeps so much now, I'm still glad she made it through 12 Months for Dogs 2021.
Photo taken when she was resting quietly. She is now resting in peace.
This photo taken not long before the Compassionate Care vet arrived.. Tikki was so weak, and creaky, that it was clear that this was "that time" when the quality of life had gone past a desirable line. (We would fight as long as she wasn’t miserable.) She slept on top of her cat tree and just coming down from there was clearly difficult and uncomfortable for her...
I thought about regular-or-emergency vet (again) and they might well have put her on fluids etc. which might have brought her back to normal-ish for a little while but, based on the last months of vet drop-bys and attention, I think that would have just been an unpleasant episode for her without much success. Compassionate Care vet also noticed that when she was resting there, she was altering position (slightly) quite frequently and noted this was often a sign of pain... sigh...

Psalm 86:15 NIV
But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
Month 6: Compassionate
For the passed 7yrs, March 3rd has been the toughest day to get through, in my personal life, for personal reasoning. And though, the very next day marks another incredible milestone for us, you've managed to mold such sadness, into a compassionate moment I'll never forget. The fact that you took the time to create a space of Zen, peace and positive messages to uplift my spirits, show your genuine concern for my mental health. And without such compassion, theres no telling how long I could have held it together. The willingness to put my wellbeing before your own, and even considering to remain silent to give me that moment of quietness. Who does that but a kind soul? I am truly captivated by you, and intertwine in your heart strings. Thank you for extending your hand and picking me up whenever I fall. Keep singing to my heart. Happy 6! I love you more than words.

Here comes a wave
Meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand
Left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder
But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
Written in stone
Every rule, every word
Centuries-old and unbending
"Stay in your place"
"Better seen and not heard"
Well, now that story is ending
'Cause I
I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me and cut me down
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No, I won't live unspoken
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
Try to lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
Hear the echo saying I...
Won't be silenced
Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
They are compassionate, thoughtful and care about the women in their lives and in the world around them.
Beginning with the 2nd century B.C., and continuing into the 6th century A.D., the paintings and sculptures in the caves of Ajanta and Ellora, inspired by Buddhism and its compassionate ethos, unleashed a surge of artistic excellence unmatched in human history. These Buddhist and Jain caves are ornately carved, yet seem quiet and meditative and exude a divine energy and power.
About 107 km from the city of Aurangabad in Maharashtra, are the rock-out caves of Ajanta nestled in a panoramic gorge, in the form of a gigantic horseshoe. A set of 29 caves, Ajanta is among the finest examples of some of the earliest Buddhist architecture, cave paintings and sculptures. These caves comprise Chaitya halls or shrines, dedicated to Lord Buddha and Viharas or monasteries, used by Buddhist monks for meditation and the study of Buddhist teachings. The paintings that adorn the walls and ceilings of the caves depict incidents from the life of lord Buddha and various Buddhist divinities. Among the most interesting paintings are the Jataka tales, illustrating diverse stories relating to the previous incarnations of the Buddha as Bodhisattava, a saintly being who is destined to become the Buddha. These elaborate sculptures and paintings stand in impressive grandeur in spite of withstanding the ravages of time. Amid the beautiful images and paintings are sculptures of Buddha, calm and serene in contemplation.
The cave temples and monasteries at Ellora, excavated out of the vertical face of an escarpment, are 26 km north of Aurangabad. Sculptors, inspired by Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism, created elaborate rock carvings. Extending in a linear arrangement, the 34 caves contain Buddhist Chaityas or halls of worship, Viharas or monasteries and Hindu and Jain temples. Spanning a period of about 600 years between the 5th and 11th century A.D., the earliest excavation here is of the Dhumar Lena (Cave 29). The most imposing excavation is, without doubt, that of the magnificent Kailasa Temple (Cave 16) which is the largest monolithic structure in the world. Known as Verul in ancient times, it has continuously attracted pilgrims through the centuries to the present day.
Declared as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO since 1983, the paintings and sculptures of Ajanta and Ellora, considered masterpieces of Buddhist religious art, have had a great influence in the development of art in India. The creative use of colour and freedom of expression used in depicting human and animal forms makes the cave paintings at Ajanta one of the high watermarks of artistic creativity. The Ellora preserved as an artistic legacy that will continue to inspire and enrich the lives of generations to come. Not only is this cave complex a unique artistic creation and an excellent example of technological exploit but also, with its sanctuaries devoted to Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism, it illustrates the spirit of tolerance that was characteristic of ancient India.
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.

Bayon temple is noted for the over 200 serene smiling faces of Lokesvara (compassionate Buddha) that decorate its towers. The faces are said to bear a likeness to King Jayavarman VII who constructed the 12th to 13th century temples in the Angkor complex. Bayon was the last of the state temples to be constructed; it is a Mahayana Buddhist shrine.

Passolungo, Lev Tostoj
Here is my favorite Tolstoy: when he talks about animals his good soul, intransigent but compassionate, fair rather than intelligent, emerges in full force, "old Tolstoy who is so difficult to love" because without complacency, and so he gets to the bottom, he narrates masterfully the death of the horse, after passionately describing its life. What a miserable figure for men! How superior is the horse!
Ecco il Tolstoj che preferisco: quando parla di animali la sua anima buona, intransigente ma pietosa, giusta più che intelligente, emerge a piena forza, "vecchio Tolstoj che è così difficile amare" perché senza compiacenza, e così arriva fino in fondo, narra magistralmente la morte del cavallo, dopo averne descritto con passione la vita. Che misera figura per gli uomini! Di quanto è superiore il cavallo!

There is so much more to read and perhaps if we read and understand the situation better we will be more compassionate.
Sincerely if the world worked together unselfishly we could accommodate most, if not all of the refugees. I hope that this will happen in 2018!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

...who turns out to be a jerk, and--after much general angst and some awesome, emotional musical numbers--the nice, compassionate guy wins the day by standing up for the girl at the end. :)
I shot photos at our local high school's dress rehearsal for the musical "Back to the 80s" last night. (lots of great music and nostalgia there, by the way.) To my own surprise, I contacted the school drama instructor yesterday morning and asked if I could take photos at the dress rehearsal so that I could move freely about the auditorium and get shots to submit to our little local town magazine. She was very excited about the idea! I got many shots and edited a few this morning that the students are enjoying sharing on their Insta accounts to promote the show (I watermarked the ones I shared with them, and even that is new and seems very bold to me)... even while battling those awful, glaring, straight-down-on-their-faces stage lights. I'm getting used to them with all the Show Choir photos I like to take (many of those to come during show choir competition season for my 17-year-old son, starting next month). But, I still have that imposter complex and wonder who on earth I think I am calling someone and saying that I am a photographer! I wonder when/if that will end? I look forward to seeing if that imposter complex does end at some point, as I continue studying and learning and practicing.
Anyway, it was a great show, and I am so glad the students are excited about the photos! I chose an emotional song from the second act for my 11/365. :)

I've learned a few things in my life so far... but some of the most valuable lessons I've learned have been about being compassionate. Thinking of others before yourself.
Message from the Universe:
"One kind person can make such a difference. One compassionate hand placed on a hand in distress can make such a difference. One phonecall, one thank-you note, one sweet text message can make every bit of difference.
One smile in the grocery store, one proclamation of forgiveness, one loaf of freshly baked bread, one handmade card, one offer to help can make such a huge difference.
It's the little things that make the heroes. It's the one thing, after one thing, after one thing. It's that one person who makes the difference.
Be the one."
I had a couple of rough days. Out sick for two days that actually necessitated the rare visit to the doctor's office that always prompts an endless lecture from the doctor. When I was finally well enough to crawl out of bed and get out I went to check on something at the slaughterhouse... knowing that Bumbo the Clown was eventually going to go back to the Slaughterhouse and leave a Bumbo button for me, I wanted to surprise Bumbo so I left a gift bag....nothing big...just something that I hoped would bring a smile. I wanted to see if it was still there. It wasn't. I was disgusted, thinking once again people had disappointed me by ruining something left in kindness for someone else. And then, as I was about to leave, I saw one of the Bumbo records! YES! Bumbo had been there.... which meant only one thing... well, actually two things.... it meant that they had found their gift bag.... AND somewhere there was a Bumbo button for me!! I ran back to the car and got my flashlight and started to search. The buttons were hidden well, but I found them! There were 3. I took 2 (because I lose everything, so I wanted a spare!) and I left one for someone else to find. Random acts of kindness.... this TOTALLY MADE MY DAY!! And when I got home, I found that Bumbo had left me a message on Facebook telling me where to find the buttons and thanking me for the gift bag. I'm really glad I didn't see the message before I went. The surprise was much more fun! Thank you Bumbo the Clown... whoever you are!!!
Random acts of kindness....
Ice coffee on my desk at work.
People that fan out scratch off lottery tickets in front of me and say "pick one."
Or...."I found a tripod, do you want it?"
Or..."If you are really that scared, I'll come stay with you."
Kind words from online friends.
Texts and calls from friends.
...And clown buttons....hidden on top of a door jamb in one of my favorite abandoned places.... and the promise...
"if I win the powerball I will hide a ridiculous amount of $$$ in your window-house (or whatever you call that place!)"
LOL!!
Be the one. Be the hero. ♥
The Gray Hawks have come back to last years nest sight. This is the female who has been here for about 2 weeks. Noticed the male just yesterday. One must wonder about their migration, where they went for the winter and how they find their way back to same place. A delight for this compassionate observer.

... Pablo Casals
Heartfelt thanks to all who sent out positive vibes to our dear friend in NZ ... the miracle we had hoped for occurred last night and for now they appear to be out of immediate danger. If you can spare some more, could you please keep them coming ... they are in the path of a bushfire not yet under control, just contained for now, pending weather conditions.
To those who see with loving eyes,
life is beautiful...
To those who speak with a tender voice,
life is peaceful....
To those who help with gentle hands,
life is full...
and to those who care with compassionate
heart, life is good beyond all measure..
GOD BLESS...

Wat Si Phan Ton is known for its beautiful architecture and the use of gold-colored sheet metal to cover the buildings and structures. This gives the temple its distinctive shiny golden appearance, which contributed to its nickname Golden Temple. Buddhist monks live in Wat Si Phan Ton, including the venerable monk Chao Abbot. In Thai temples such as Wat Si Phan Ton, monks perform several roles: Prayer and Meditation, Buddha's Teachings, Community Service, and Almsgiving. Monks may be involved in community service, such as providing spiritual guidance to those in need, attending ceremonial events, and providing moral support. They follow a strict set of precepts and devote their lives to the pursuit of spiritual development, meditation and spreading the Buddha's teachings. Monks spend a significant portion of their time in prayer and meditation. This enables them to achieve inner peace and gain profound insights. Monks can be involved in community service, such as providing spiritual guidance to those in need, attending ceremonial events, and providing moral support. In Buddhism, it is considered virtuous to give food and donations to monks. Monks often enter the community early in the morning to receive alms as a way to promote spiritual connection. Monks lead a simple lifestyle and have minimal material possessions. They wear traditional orange robes and shave their heads as a sign of renunciation of worldly vanity. Wat Si Phan Ton is not only a place of worship, but also a cultural and historical site.
Wat Si Phan Ton is a striking Buddhist temple located in Nan, Thailand, and it is sometimes affectionately referred to as the Golden Temple because of its dazzling golden appearance. At the entrance of the temple you will find two impressive 6-headed statues of golden dragons, which play an important role in the local culture and symbolism. Also called "nagas", these golden dragons are mythical creatures that feature prominently in Southeast Asian mythology and religion. They are often associated with water and fertility and are considered to have protective powers. Nagas can be found in many Buddhist temples and shrines, often in the form of statues, paintings or reliefs. The golden dragons at the entrance of Wat Si Phan Ton in Nan serve as symbols of protection and prosperity for those who visit the temple. The temple is an important spiritual and cultural site in Nan. It is not only a place of worship and meditation, but also a symbol of the region's rich Buddhist tradition and cultural heritage.
Wat Si Phan Ton staat bekend om zijn prachtige architectuur en het gebruik van goudkleurige bladmetaal om de gebouwen en structuren te bedekken. Dit geeft de tempel zijn opvallende glanzende gouden uiterlijk, wat heeft bijgedragen aan zijn bijnaam Golden Temple. Bij de ingang van de tempel vind je twee indrukwekkende 6 koppige beelden van gouden draken, die een belangrijke rol spelen in de lokale cultuur en symboliek. Deze gouden draken, ook wel naga's genoemd, zijn mythische wezens die een prominente plaats innemen in de Zuidoost-Aziatische mythologie en religie. Ze worden vaak geassocieerd met water en vruchtbaarheid en worden beschouwd als beschermende krachten. In veel boeddhistische tempels en heiligdommen zijn naga's te vinden, vaak in de vorm van beelden, schilderingen of reliëfs. De gouden draken bij de ingang van Wat Si Phan Ton in Nan dienen als symbolen van bescherming en voorspoed voor degenen die de tempel bezoeken. Er wonen boeddhistische monniken in Wat Si Phan Ton. In het Boeddhisme wordt het als deugdzaam beschouwd om voedsel en donaties te schenken aan monniken. Monniken gaan vaak in de vroege ochtend de gemeenschap in om aalmoezen te ontvangen als een manier om spirituele verbondenheid te bevorderen. Monniken leiden een eenvoudige levensstijl en hebben minimale materiële bezittingen. Ze dragen traditionele oranje gewaden en scheren hun hoofd als teken van verzaking van wereldse ijdelheid. Wat Si Phan Ton is niet alleen een plek van aanbidding, maar ook een culturele en historische plek.

And that slaughter to the nation
Shall steam up like inspiration,
Eloquent, oracular;
A volcano heard afar.
And these words shall then become
Like oppression’s thundered doom,
Ringing through each heart and brain
Heard again, again, again –
Rise like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you.
Ye are many. They are few.
Shelly
