"The lotus flower is one of the top ten most famous flower species in China, and has been the most favored one for hundreds of years. Grown in muddy swamps and risen above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty, the exquisite flower is huge in size, bright in color, fragrant in scent, and extremely adaptive. At night the flower closes and sinks underwater; at dawn it rises and opens again. Untouched by any impurities, the lotus symbolizes purity of the heart and mind and represents long life, humility, honor and tranquility. It is the subject of poems and paintings with great artistic appeal "

È di pochi giorni fa la notizia che il Museo Nivola di Orani rischia la chiusura a causa del drastico taglio dei finanziamenti regionali. Un altro piccolo gioiello - una preziosa teca all'interno della quale sono conservati i capolavori di uno dei più grandi scultori Sardi del '900 - rischia di chiudere i battenti e sparire. Un'altra grave perdita per il patrimonio Artistico Sardo. E poi ci si lamenta se la nostra Cultura non viene valorizzata! Un applauso a chi ha autorizzato i tagli al Museo e questa nuova rovina, ai geni che stanno distruggendo ciò che di buono abbiamo in quest'Isola!

An old dictionary definition of humility is: "A freedom from arrogance that grows out of the recognition that all we have and are comes from God." True humility does not produce pride but gratitude. It’s a freedom from the ‘me first’ self-life curse, the soil from which true happiness can grow.

The Pop Art series consists of a single shot repeated 16 times (sometimes even 32), with each piece slightly different. These shots were transformed and recomposed in 2020, during the lockdown caused by the pandemic of humility.
This collage reflects the isolation and confinement of that time, with my body portrayed behind a large windowpane symbolizing a barrier between me and the outside world.
I am republishing these images today as testimonies of a critical moment for humanity, where restrictions deeply impacted our relationships and revealed dynamics of control and manipulation.
The Covid pandemic was used as a pretext to limit freedom and divide people. This image is meant to recall both physical imprisonment and the need for awareness and inner rebellion.
Despite everything, life and light remain beyond the glass.
A new portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II following her 90th birthday by expressionist painter Stephen B. Whatley. The artist realised that there has not been, to his knowledge, a painting made of Her Majesty at The State Opening of Parliament; as she has done once a year for 63 years.
As with all his work Whatley sought to a deep essence of his subject and the painting was inspired by charcoal drawings and notes made watching the live BBC television broadcast of The Queen, wearing the Imperial State Crown, reading her address to Parliament on May 18; followed by notes made re-watching film footage.
A major contribution to his capturing Queen Elizabeth was the artist's memory of meeting and talking to the monarch in person in 2004, at a grand reception, at the Tower of London - for which Whatley was commissioned in 2000 to paint a series of 30 paintings, depicting the history of The Tower. He was touched by an aura of gentle humility in Her Majesty's presence.
Stephen B. Whatley's Tower of London commission is permanently reproduced outside London's Tower Hill Station, throughout Tower Hill Underpass, the main entrance portal to Her Majesty's Tower of London - a permanent art exhibit on show in London.

And I want women to get in there with the men in humility before God, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions, but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it. - 1 Timothy 2:9-10, The Message
So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. - Genesis 1:27
You are made in the image of the God of the Universe. You were fashioned in HIs likeness: if you are beautiful enough for Christ, who is to say you aren't beautiful enough for anyone else?
I painted this on paper and edited onto the canvas to save it for another project.

Convallaria , commonly known as the Lily of the Valley, symbolizes in language of flowers- sweetness; return to happiness; humility; perfect purity
•Convallaria is a native of Europe, being distributed also over North America and Northern Asia, but in England it is very local as a wild flower.
All parts of the Lily of the Valley are considered to be poisonous. It has been used in medicines and herbal remedies for heart and epilepsy.
•In the Victorian classic, The Language of Flowers, the Lily of the Valley is said to symbolize the return of happiness. Named for its native habitat (the Latin word "convallis" means enclosed valley)
•The flower is also known as Our Lady's tears since, according to Christian legend, the lily of the valley came into being from Eve's tears after she was driven with Adam from the Garden of Eden.
According to another legend, Lilies of the Valley also sprang from the blood of Saint Leonard of Noblac during his battles with a dragon.
Other names include May Lily, May Bells, Lily Constancy, Ladder-to-Heaven, Male Lily and Muguet.
•The name "Lily of the Valley" is also used in some English translations of the Bible in Song of Songs 2:1, although whether or not the Hebrew word "shoshana" (usually denoting a rose) originally used there refers to this species is uncertain.
The Rovingian Council: Simplicity, Humility, and Renunciation versus Ostentation by Daniel Arrhakis (2026)

The Rovingian Council: Simplicity, Humility, and Renunciation versus Ostentation
A philosophy of detachment and spiritual freedom
The Rovingian Council, also called the philosophy of nomadic monks, is based on the idea that genuine spiritual freedom is achieved through total detachment. For these wanderers, existence is a constant journey, where "having" represents a weight that hinders "being."
The Pillars of Rovingian Conduct
1. Simplicity: The Light Path
For the Rovingian, simplicity is not limited to the absence of luxury, but is a deliberate choice for the essence of life. Radical minimalism is practiced, carrying only what is indispensable for survival. The focus falls on the essential, eliminating both material and mental distractions, in order to hear the inner voice. The language adopted is clear, avoiding complicated rhetoric, because truth is revealed in the simple and direct.
2. Humility: The Earth Beneath Our Feet
Humility emerges from the recognition that we are part of nature, not its masters. The Rovingian monk lives in equality with all creation, not considering himself superior to animals or stones. He values active listening, learning from each encounter on the path and treating the unknown as a teacher. The absence of ego is fundamental: he does not seek recognition, titles, or status, for anonymity protects spiritually.
3. Renunciation: The Cutting of Ties
Renunciation is what enables the nomad's mobility. Without it, he becomes sedentary in spirit. He practices material detachment, rejecting the accumulation of possessions that would bind him to one place. He renounces comfort, accepting hardships and fatigue as instruments of purification. His freedom of destiny manifests in the absence of rigid plans, allowing life to indicate the next step.
4. Enlightenment versus Ostentation
Ostentation represents the opposite of Rovingian enlightenment. Pride, whether of wealth or knowledge, is an "anchor" that hinders evolution. While the world values appearance, the monk values transparency. Excess adornment and possessions generate visual noise, stifling the perception of the sacred.
Principles of Guidance
Movement is Sacred: Remaining excessively in one place generates attachment and stagnation. For the Rovingian, moving water is pure, while still water rots. Constant movement prevents the soul from taking root in temporary illusions.
Reciprocal Hospitality: Giving without expecting anything in return and receiving with gratitude, without demanding. Hospitality is a rite, not a possession. The monk accepts what is offered, leaving before gratitude turns into dependence.
The Providence of Now: One does not excessively store up for the future. One trusts that the path will provide what is necessary, avoiding the accumulation of provisions or guarantees, as this denotes a lack of faith in the natural order.
Track Zero: The Rovingian seeks to pass through the world without leaving traces of destruction or vanity.
Point of Reflection: The "Golden Anchor"
In Rovingian philosophy, ostentation is not limited to material wealth, but extends to intellectual and spiritual wealth. To be proud of one's own humility or to use knowledge to diminish others is to carry a "golden anchor"—valuable in the eyes of the world, but which prevents the ship from sailing.

O Conselho Rovingiano: Simplicidade, Humildade e Renúncia versus Ostentação
Uma filosofia de desapego e liberdade espiritual
O Conselho Rovingiano, também denominado filosofia dos monges nómadas, fundamenta-se na ideia de que a liberdade espiritual genuína é conquistada através do desapego total. Para estes caminhantes, a existência é uma travessia constante, onde o "ter" representa um peso que dificulta o "ser".
Os Pilares da Conduta Rovingiana
1. Simplicidade: O Caminho Leve
A simplicidade, para o rovingiano, não se limita à ausência de luxo, mas é uma escolha deliberada pela essência da vida. Pratica-se o minimalismo radical, levando consigo apenas o indispensável para sobreviver. O foco recai sobre o essencial, eliminando distrações tanto materiais quanto mentais, de modo a ouvir a voz interior. A linguagem adotada é clara, evitando retóricas complicadas, pois a verdade revela-se no simples e direto.
2. Humildade: A Terra sob os Pés
A humildade emerge do reconhecimento de que somos parte da natureza, e não seus dominadores. O monge rovingiano vive em igualdade com toda a criação, não se considerando superior a animais ou pedras. Valoriza a escuta ativa, aprendendo com cada encontro no caminho e tratando o desconhecido como mestre. A ausência de ego é fundamental: não busca reconhecimento, títulos ou status, pois o anonimato protege espiritualmente.
3. Renúncia: O Corte dos Laços
A renúncia é o que possibilita a mobilidade do nómada. Sem ela, torna-se sedentário na alma. Pratica o desapego material, rejeitando o acúmulo de bens que o prenderiam a um lugar. Renuncia ao conforto, aceitando intempéries e cansaço como instrumentos de purificação. Sua liberdade de destino manifesta-se na ausência de planos rígidos, permitindo que a vida indique o próximo passo.
4. Iluminação versus Ostentação
A ostentação representa o oposto da iluminação rovingiana. O orgulho, seja de riqueza ou conhecimento, é uma "âncora" que impede evolução. Enquanto o mundo valoriza a aparência, o monge valoriza a transparência. O excesso de adornos e bens gera ruído visual, abafando a perceção do sagrado.
Princípios de Regência
O Movimento é Sagrado: Permanecer excessivamente num lugar gera apego e estagnação. Para o rovingiano, a água em movimento é pura, enquanto a parada apodrece. O movimento constante evita que a alma crie raízes em ilusões temporais.
Hospitalidade Recíproca: Dar sem esperar retorno e receber com gratidão, sem exigir. A hospitalidade é um rito, não uma posse. O monge aceita o que lhe é oferecido, parte antes que a gratidão se transforme em dependência.
A Providência do Agora: Não se armazena excessivamente para o futuro. Confia-se que o caminho proverá o necessário, evitando acumulação de mantimentos ou garantias, pois isso denota falta de fé na ordem natural.
Rasto Zero: O rovingiano procura passar pelo mundo sem deixar marcas de destruição ou vaidade.
Ponto de Reflexão: A "Âncora de Ouro"
Na filosofia rovingiana, a ostentação não se restringe à riqueza material, mas estende-se à intelectual e espiritual. Orgulhar-se da própria humildade ou usar o conhecimento para diminuir o outro é carregar uma "âncora de ouro" — valiosa aos olhos do mundo, mas que impede o barco de navegar.
"Will Tahu find the humility and patience to earn deeper knowledge of fire and learn that not everything can be taken by force?"
Fourth creature of the series to make the G2 creatures into large and powerful elemental masters. Ikir came to completion in one day after I began tinkering with his head design. It's a good feeling when a moc comes together straightforwardly.
As usual, I recycled the head, but gave the creature different eyes from the rest. Boat studs made for great bird eyes in this case.
With Ikir, I thought that Tahu's challenge is basically the fact that he can't reach the flying bird. Assuming Tahu is fairly hot tempered, his trial is to learn that he can't simply force and take everything he wants. Instead, with Ikir, he must learn to earn, wait, give and compromise until he finds the connection he needs with Ikir.
"I will make you a LIGHT to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth." Isaiah 49:6
PRAYER
"O Father, give us the humility which realizes its ignorance, admits its mistakes, recognizes its need, welcomes advice, accepts rebuke. Help us always to praise rather than to criticize, to sympathize rather than to discourage, to build rather than to destroy, and to think of people at their best rather than at their worst. This we ask for thy name’s sake. (Prayer of William Barclay, 20th century) ~ www.dailyscripture.net

In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble.”
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
[1 Peter 5:5-7 NIV]
5 MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!

My only complaint is I cannot do the titles and descriptions using iPhoto. I will most likely stay with the Flickr uploader for Macs.

Humility, simplicity, compassion, impermanence...
Do not ignore the compassion for all beings and do not ignore the impermanence. Whatever seems to be a priority in your life is actually quite temporary. It comes and goes.
We are born alone and naked. As our life unfolds, we go through every possible situation: need, have, lost, suffer, cry, try ... but then we die, and we die alone. It will not make any difference if we were rich or poor, known or unknown. Death is the great leveler.
Being awaked can be leveler in many senses.
Okay this is PROBABLY the last request -- but I do, with all humility and Buddhist prostration, ask for your vote for the Bloggies! I'm in the "Photography" section.
Thank you to my fans! Here are your favorite pics: the most Popular Pictures you dig from my stream. Thanks for the comments!

I am headed to the Ukraine today. I'll be spending the weekend in Chernobyl taking pictures, which I have gotten special permission to enter the Exclusion Zone. There are several ghost towns around Chernobyl, like Pripyat, which was designed as a Soviet communist panacea, but now a radiated husk of a city. I will also be in Kharkov, on the Russian border, as well as Kiev. I hope to find some interesting shots for you!
I was trying to set up for a photo in the beautiful Mazatlan Cathedral, being as reverent as possible, when this man came forward and placed himself on the stairs to the altar in humble prayer. A touching scene. I wondered about his story.
Agfa Box 44 from 1930s
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:
www.flickr.com/photos/toguko/4741327405/
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.
There are more coming but I am curious what you think.

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 awkward 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).
Sala di Donatello.
David, 1440-1450, Donatello.
Donatello created a totally unusual image of the slender young biblical pastor. David is an efebo teenager whose nakedness implies the humility and courage that overcomes arrogance and brute force. The impurity between the subject of biblical civic education and ancient mythology is also expressed by the extraordinary ribboned hat crowned with a laurel wreath reminiscent of the winged hat of Mercury.
You have to keep in mind that it was the first unsupported naked statue to be carved since the classical era. His most famous work.
***
There are no indications of contemporary responses to the David. However, the fact that the statue was placed in the town hall of Florence in the 1490s indicates that it was not viewed as controversial. In the early 16th century, the Herald of the Signoria mentioned the sculpture in a way that suggested there was something unsettling about it: "The David in the courtyard is not a perfect figure because its right leg is tasteless." By mid-century Vasari was describing the statue as so naturalistic that it must have been made from life. However, among 20th- and 21st-century art historians there has been considerable controversy about how to interpret it.
Goliath's beard curls around David's sandaled foot, as if the young hero is running his toes through his dead opponent's hair. Goliath is wearing a winged helmet. David's right foot stands firmly on the short right wing, while the left wing, considerably longer, works its way up his right leg to his groin.
The figure has been interpreted in a variety of ways. One has been to suggest that Donatello was homosexual and that he was expressing that sexual attitude through this statue. A second is to suggest that the work refers to homosocial values in Florentine society without expressing Donatello's personal tendencies. However, during the Renaissance sodomy was illegal, and over 14,000 men had been tried in Florence for this crime. So this homosexual implication would have been dangerous. A third interpretation is that David represents Donatello's effort to create a unique version of the male nude, to exercise artistic licence rather than copy the classical models that had thus far been the sources for the depiction of the male nude in Renaissance art.

Un petit guide d’accomplissement que vous ne trouverez nulle part ailleurs sur la pratique du Yi King spirituel dans votre quotidien! Pour le Yi King… tous actes de votre vie extérieure… sont spirituels… que vos pensées soient réalistes ou non!
1. L’expérience du Yi King s’acquiert dans la pratique quotidienne régulière… en y mordant à pleines dents!
2. Pas besoin de l’interroger ou de forcer quoi que ce soit comme le préconise toutes les guides d’utilisation… vous tirez et traduisez les réponses obtenues en actes selon ce que votre cœur perçoit… ainsi pas de risques d’erreurs grossières d’interprétation!
3. Régulièrement, face à certaines situations de votre vie, vous avez besoin de prendre du recul… d’étudier les effets d’un projet sur votre environnement! Le Yi King vous aidera à déterminer si c’est le bon moment pour agir ou ne pas agir!
4. L’expérience pratique régulière vous enseignera à quel moment vous retirer pour digérer vos expériences! Lorsque vous aurez compris que le chemin parcouru est plus en accord avec l’univers que votre situation antérieure… vous aurez découvert que l’Invisible ne demande qu’à vous protéger du monde extérieur dans toutes les situations de votre vie!
5. Le Yi King n’excelle que dans les situations sous votre contrôle! Par exemple… vous devez prendre la route ou l’avion à un moment déterminé… vous craignez l’avion… il vous indiquera s’il y a danger ou non à ce moment précis! Un autre exemple… vous recevez un message que vous ne comprenez pas… comme par exemple l’hexagramme #57, la communication, se transformant en hexagramme #3, la difficulté… surveillez bien ce qui va se passer dans les minutes qui vont suivre… il se peut que ce soit un téléphone dont le sujet est cette difficulté! Il faut savoir que le Yi King capte toutes les intentions des autres vous concernant! Fascinant n’est-ce pas?
Si vous souhaitez prendre la route de la vie le cœur léger… votre Guide intérieur n’attend que cela… sa mission… vous aider et vous protéger!

Where are you going? Wait! Don’t you see how beautiful I am?! WHAT? That the true beauty is hidden inside? …
Don’t go away - PLEASE - stay here for a while with me.
I … I will learn a humility …

Please, respect copyright - thank you:-)
I am humbled by your kind acceptance.
I have been under the shadows.
But because of your generosities I am bathed in light.
My colours are lit and I am proud to share them with you.
With all of you...
:)
Humility often levels the playing field of life. I must say my playing field now looks somewhat more level then it did before I began this venture. I wish for a better day and that these girls may one day soon return home to their countries as normal people who have simply been abroad working at normal careers. I know this not to be true but its the way I wish to see this story end.
