Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.
Voltaire
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
Thomas Berger
Just knowing you don't have the answers is a recipe for humility, openness, acceptance, forgiveness, and an eagerness to learn - and those are all good things.
Dick Van Dyke
Art is nothing but the expression of our dream; the more we surrender to it the closer we get to the inner truth of things, our dream-life, the true life that scorns questions and does not see them.
Franz Marc
Every clarification breeds new questions.
Arthur Bloch
Take risks. Ask big questions. Don't be afraid to make mistakes; if you don't make mistakes, you're not reaching far enough.
David Packard

The lily of the valley is a flower that is most often viewed as a symbol of rebirth and humility. It can be used to symbolize chastity, purity, sweetness, and motherhood, too.
Moss is one of my favorite plants, a true pioneer and resilient survivor. But one needs a degree of humility to notice this hero in the shadows.
After a volcano erupts and the harsh lava has completely cooled down, one of the first plant colonizers is going to be moss. Spongy and soft, it covers the lava's sharp edges with a thick, green cushion.
Moss is a producer, since it takes in water and nutrients through its tiny leaves and at the same time absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis. Mosses are therefore able to survive without soil, taking up rainwater and mineral salts through the whole of their body surface. Now, that's something!
And if that's not enough, it's able to tolerate severe drying yet recovers immediately in the first rain shower. It lives and grows in modesty, at a rate of about 1 cm per year.
There are 500-600 different species of mosses here in Iceland and one of the most abundant species is called the woolly fringemoss, which you can see in this image, taken in the National Park of Snæfellsjökull, in the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
Excerpt from thestar.com October 4, 2021:
It’s an Indigenous and colourful addition to Concession Street.
The Seven Grandfather Teachings by Hamilton artist Kyle Joedicke was recently painted along the wall at 576 Concession, across the street from the public library.
The mural features images of seven animals that reflect the oral history and traditions that Indigenous elders have passed down through stories and ceremonies.
The turtle represents truth, the wolf carries humility, the beaver offers wisdom, the Sabe or Sasquatch represents honesty, the bear carries courage, the buffalo provides the gift of respect and the eagle is love.
“It’s somewhat of a universal set of teachings across North America for all tribes and clans, but the one I’m specifically taking on representing is from the Haudenosaunee culture, which is my own background,” he said.
While his spray-painting techniques are pretty much self-taught, Joedicke said he has been influenced by Haida art from the west coast and by the works of Indigenous artist Norval Morrisseau.
“That was something that really spoke to me,” he said. “The vivid colours of the art and the presentation itself were extremely striking.”
He was hired to do the mural by the Concession Street Business Improvement Area (BIA).
“It’s important for us to tell Indigenous stories,” said BIA executive director Cristina Geissler. “We are very proud to include this important piece of artwork into our community. This mural tells a meaningful story about Indigenous culture and we are honoured to give local Haudenosaunee artist Kyle this canvas right here on Concession Street.”
Movements, successful long- term change movements, begin as grass roots actions of a collection of like minded individuals. Detroit has such a movement afoot amongst its creative class. All over the city you will find artists working to define and redefine the scenes of decay and despair found in almost every section of town. It is this class of people, not a grand architectural statement that will become the true renaissance of the city.
The creative class is building the future in areas beyond art. The Detroit News recently reported about the growth in start- ups in TechTown attached to Wayne State University. The article stated that many unemployed people have decided to create their own jobs since finding a job in the local economy is next to impossible. These tough economic times may prove to be the incubator for a more diverse economy, something civic leadership in Detroit and Michigan have failed to deliver for the last 50 years. One can only hope these same leaders accept their failings with humility and stay out of the way and tamp down their urge to “engineer” this natural process of commercial growth. We have already seen the results of their bright ideas.

~Charles de Montesquieu on humility quotes (French Politician and Philosopher, 1689-1755)
What makes humility so desirable is the remarkable thing it does to us; it gives us the ability to be close and worship God. Have a blessed Holy Wednesday!
"Shine your soul with the same egoless humility as the rainbow does, and no matter where you go in this world or
the next, love will find you, attend you, and bless you."
~Aberjhani
You showed great thoughtfulness, generosity, humility, and creativity. A kind-hearted soul, I will truly miss your words, and mails. Bless you, my friend.
It is with humility that I share with you some exciting news!
I am honored to be featured on the cover and in an article in the very cool Eclipse Magazine! This is the image I did for the cover.
Here is a link to the magazine which just hit the newsstands today:
Keep shining everyone, and thank you for all the kindness and support that you share with me. I am so grateful to be part of our incredible universe.
Humility is the true key to success. Successful people lose their way at times and often embrace and overindulge from the fruits of success.

expired Kodak Portra 160, pushed two stops
Inspired by the movie 'Wings of desire' and its remake 'City of angels', I wanted to do this project for a long time. I even started it some time ago as self-portraits wearing long, leather, black jacket:

But this time, I thought I would do something different. I think the use of the traditional, red, Chinese dress was more for the visual reasons in the beginning. Then I started to think what I wanted to show in this project. And the word 'nostalgia' came to my mind in a natural way - the use of an old camera, expired films, dress from another era, showing longing for the past. But when I developed the films, I was disappointed with the results. I was hoping they would look like old photographs. The colours came out more vivid than when using normal kodak portra 160 (perhaps because mine was expired and pushed two stops when developed). I felt that this is not what I wanted and also that it is not really my style. I guess I had some expectations about the whole thing.
And then I thought that I did the best I could, given the tools I have at the moment (I had to sell all my equipment for personal reasons and only kept my grandfather's camera for sentimental reasons and was left with few boxes of kodak portra 160 that I didn't sell) and that the final results were actually not up to me. I felt that this was a great lesson of humility, letting go, diminishing my ego and expectations, trying to deal with my 'control freak' and perfectionist side. So my new idea for the name of this project is 'humility', for the reasons above but also because of the small figure in the vastness of the landscapes (universe) as I am trying to show how small and insignificant we all are.
The other thing I thought about is what does the model feel/experience. What is her perspective? I feel not many people think about that. So I asked her. She said that in the beginning, the posing didn't feel natural to her, she felt akward standing there looking at all these landscapes in front of her. But in later shots, she started to relax, closed her eyes and meditated.
Changed the name of the project to 'h&n' (for humility&nostalgia but also here&now).
I wonder what you think.
very silent and focused, aware of their core selves. ... They never persuade, nor do they use manipulation or aggressiveness to get their way. They listen. If there is anything they can offer to assist you, they offer it; if not, they are silent :-)
