*Working Towards a Better World
Empathy is about standing in someone else's shoes, feeling with his or her heart, seeing with his or her eyes. Not only is empathy hard to outsource and automate, but it makes the world a better place. - Daniel H. Pink
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode? - Langston Hughes, "Harlem"
Empathy...
Nature's perfection in all stages of life.
Last of our tulips now beginning to fade. From last fall's planting. Comments unnecessary, but thank you.
“Even as we can no longer safely gather or feed off the energy of groups, even as many of us are living with grief, loneliness, and fear, we need to stay open and able to put ourselves in other people’s shoes. Empathy is our lifeline here. It’s what will get us to the other side. Let’s use it to redirect our attention toward what matters most, reconsider our priorities, and find ways to better remake the world in the image of our hopes."
—Michelle Obama, about Covid19, April 27 2020

dedicated to those who died in Forte Sirtori, and to those who suffer torture in this mad, sad, wonderful world...
Other than this being my third Yosemite waterfall image in a row, here’s another dash of audacity:
To everything that’s numbing us against the percolating social darkness all around, the above is my artist’s statement.

Have you ever picked up a vase of old flowers and told them you know exactly how they feel?
Shot in natural light in a rather dark room with a yellow stained glass window.
eine Gemeinschaftsproduktion von Hilde und mir ... ;-) ...
there is a danger in our societies that falsehood becomes independent and so becomes chronic ...
a fellow of us has photographed legs of Tour de France members ...
these legs were the most beautiful ...
the legs are a map of martyrdom ...
the competition is inhuman but the spectators want heroes and sometimes cheer them up to death ...
doping is unavoidable ...
they cross a line ...
Ein Kollege von uns hat die Beine von Profi-Radsportlern fotografiert, die an der Tour de France teilgenommen haben.
Ihr seht hier ein Beispiel der am wenigsten geschundenen Beine. Oft sind sie von oben bis unten voller alter Narben von Verletzungen und Operationen.
Die Beine waren zum großen Teil eine Landkarte des Martyriums.
Unsere Gesellschaft bringt oft sich verselbstständigende Lügensysteme hervor.
Sie erwartet Helden, die unmenschliches leisten sollen. Auf den Pässen werden sie angefeuert bis (bestenfalls) zum Kollaps.
Ohne Doping wäre die Tour de France gar nicht möglich.
Wenn Fahrer manchmal reihenweise ausfielen, weil der Körper durch die Dopingmittel kein richtiges Feedback mehr gab, hieß es immer "Lebensmittelvergiftungen" ...

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible
Comfort of feeling safe with a person,
Having neither to weight thoughts,
Nor measure words--but pouring them
All right out--just as they are
Chaff and grain together,
Certain that a faithful hand will
Take and sift them,
Keep what is worth keeping,
And with the breath of kindness
Blow the rest away.
Listen to: Sympathy
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And bolt the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No, there's not enough love to go 'round
And sympathy
Is what we need, my friend
And sympathy
Is what we need
And sympathy
Is what we need, my friend
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No, there's not enough love to go 'round
Now half the world
Hates the other half
And half the world
Has all the food
And half the world
Lies down and quietly starves
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
And sympathy
Is what we need, my friend
And sympathy
Is what we need
And sympathy
Is what we need, my friend
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No, there's not enough love to go 'round
Let us remember them all,
With empathy as our guiding light.

South Africa's case in The Hague argues that Israel violated the 1948 genocide convention, established in the aftermath of the Holocaust, which mandates that all countries prevent the recurrence of such crimes. It filed an 84-page document with the court detailing acts it says amount to genocide in Gaza.

Caught by surprise in the middle of the Sintra forest during a foggy morning, without a tripod and only with the X100 at hand. Solution: ISO 800 hand held. This small Fuji camera never disappoints!
