"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.

Thanks for looking!

devotees go barefoot as a sign of humility
The "Feast of the Black Nazarene" attended by tens of thousands of Filipino Catholics, is an annual celebration of faith which takes place every 9th of January. It is the single largest festival in the Philippines. Highlight of the festivity is a procession which commemorates the first procession to transfer the Black Nazarene from a church in Intramuros to the Minor Basilica in Quiapo on Jan. 9, 1767.
The devotion to the image of Jesus Christ is a practice that was sanctioned by two Catholic popes 200 years ago by granting indulgence to those who piously pray before the image of the Black Nazarene of Quiapo.
The Black Nazarene, enshrined in the minor basilica in Quiapo, Manila, is a life-sized, dark-skinned statue of Jesus Christ, brought from Mexico to the Philippines in the year 1606. The image is believe by thousands of Filipino catholics to have magical and miraculous powers.
The Philippines is the only country in Asia with a Catholic majority.

Confession: I didn't actually cut my hair off. I have donated to Locks of Love before, but my hair doesn't meet the length requirements yet. I will donate again, though...I always go from long to short, so why waste the hair?? :)

A Good Gesture....This Is How Our Elders Taught Us To Do!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Acknowledging The Applause Of Audience And In Appreciation Of Their Visit ,,,,,
This Is How Our Children Are Taught And Expected To Show Their Respect To God...
Parents And Gurus And Elders.....With Utmost Humility And Total Submission With Whole Heart , Body And Soul And Seek Their Blessings.....
We Do Follow It..Sincerely ,,May Not Be Every Day..But Surely On Family Funcitons, Festivals And On Auspicious Days ......Our Children Do It Even Before Appearing For School Examination.....Or Before Taking Up A New Job Or Undertake Travel.....
..Whether The Future Generation Will Follow It Or Not....Is A Question Mark?
To be real on this path you must be humble--
If you look down at others you'll get pushed down the stairs.
If your heart goes around on high, you fly far from this path.
There's no use hiding it--
What's inside always leaks outside.
(yunus emre)
When young we feel almost indestructible believing we can conquer the world. With Age come knowledge, humility and understanding that we cannot wrap the world around our arms. We are just a small part of something incredible, not the center of it.

Gentleness and self-control.
Gentleness is rooted in an attitude of humility before God. In experiencing God's gentleness to us, we desire to demonstrate the same to others.
"24 And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth," 2 Timothy 2:24-25
This leads to self-control because gentleness is meekness, not weakness.
Meekness is power under control. Every person is powerful. We can speak words that influence others; we can act in ways that help or hurt; and we can choose what influences will inform our words and actions. So, gentleness leads to self-control, which constrains and channels that power in our desire to be like the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our objectives and goals become increasing less about ourselves and more about the glory of our God. His will and His thoughts control and inform what we do.
"He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30
This Thanksgiving we can thank God for all of these wonderful fruits of the Spirit, freely given to everyone who will repent and believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ!
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23

"Jesus spoke the following parable to some people who prided themselves on being virtuous and despised everyone else: ‘Two men went up to the Temple to pray, one a Pharisee, the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood there and said this prayer to himself, “I thank you, God, that I am not grasping, unjust, adulterous like the rest of mankind, and particularly that I am not like this tax collector here. I fast twice a week; I pay tithes on all I get.” The tax collector stood some distance away, not daring even to raise his eyes to heaven; but he beat his breast and said, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner.” This man, I tell you, went home again at rights with God; the other did not. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the man who humbles himself will be exalted.’"
- Luke 18:9-14, which is today's Gospel at Mass (30th Sun in Ordinary Time)

I'm very touched of the look he offered me.

Humility. The more you learn, the more you realize there's still so much more to learn. This tends to make you humble. Arrogance and egotism come from ignorance -- knowing a little bit and assuming you know a lot. - Lao Tsu
Someone said that I am Arrogant.
It would really bothered me if it was true.
I am still in the middle of my journey, wondering if I need to change course.
Her image is my daily inspiration of humility and a constant reminder of how little things contribute to the greater kingdom of God. A friend texted me the following lines: The great thing a little lamp can do which the big sun can't is to give light at night. It shows no one is superior by size but by purpose. If we can't do great things, we can do small things in a great way. Little things make a big difference.
Thanks Loida for this message. A very "Theresean" doctrine i would say. For my friends who asks where this statue can be found, she is at my residence. You are always welcome to visit.

Греческим крестом называют крест, у которого линии имеют равную длину, перпендикулярны друг другу и пересекаются в середине — символ смирения, где человеческая воля во Христе (горизонтальная линия) пересекается Божественной (вертикальная линия).

If you know me well you tyhat I am a man of great humility, so when I say I am the world's foremost expert on shooting fog you know there is little exaggeration. I grew up in fog and I spend most of waking hours in a fog. SO when it comes to fog I know what I am talking about. Big weather is rare in Los Angles. With fog being a state of mind not an atmospheric occurrence, so when it happens in front of your eyes instead of your mind in LA, at sunset, you go find an iconic building and by golly you go and photograph it. My studio is in Silver Lake. Hence the beeline to the Griffith Park observatory. Well driving around like a head with it's chicken cut off trying find just "the right spot" sometimes you get lucky. This was one of those times.
