HUMILITY (mosaic tile motivational art at Alexander Muir/Gladstone Ave Junior and Senior Public School)
The Sage is always willing to radio in a little Divine Intervention, but it is up to the Omnissiah to decide if teal should die.
Verdict: KILL!

[...] There is no respect for others without humility in one's self [...]

I'm very touched of the look he offered me.
Texture from Dyrk Wyst, one of my talented contacts.
Thus monastic humility is seen as “the victory of the real over the unreal-a victory in which false human ideals are discarded and the divine ideal is attained, is experienced, is grasped and possessed not in a mental image but in the present and concrete and existential reality of our life.
-Thomas Merton, The Rule of Saint Benedict, Initiation into the Monastic Tradition 4, pg. lii
Mat on Rollei Digibase 200 iso. A remarkable film, I've tried it for the first time. Very different from any other film I know.

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.
Humor and humility were essential aspects of Norman Rockwell’s character, so when asked to do a self-portrait, the results were lighthearted and somewhat self-deprecating. Rockwell was a stickler for neatness, but here he has scattered matchsticks, paint tubes, and brushes over the studio floor. The glass of Coca-Cola, his usual afternoon pick-me-up, looks as if it will tip over at any moment.
A little older artist is gazing at himself in the mirror and he looks very different on canvas. He’s got a little more hair, his pipe is a little perkier and he’s looking out directly at you, without glasses.
Paint rags and pipe ashes sometimes conspired to ignite small fires in Rockwell’s brass bucket, so the wisp of smoke in the painting rings true. It is a reminder that once Rockwell’s studio caught fire as a result of his carelessness with pipe ashes. His brass helmet, a French fireman’s helmet he acquired in Paris in 1923, usually placed on an unused easel, crowns this one.
The four self-portraits on his canvas – Albrecht Durer, Rembrandt, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent Van Gogh – are his references. He did tack or tape studies to his drawings or canvases and he did immerse himself in favorite artwork before beginning a project.

Lunch time. He was kneeling on the corner of Howe and Georgia Streets in Vancouver. Shot from about 10-12 metres away with a Nikkor 70-300mm lens.
A Mother and Child approach a car for money and food on a Sunday Morning in the upper class district of Kailash in New Delhi. The passenger in the rear seat signals the poor begging Mother with her hands together, the national greeting for peace and humility.

Who may be insensitive to a such look?
Thank you for staying true to my camera.
This is a single-exposure shot of a road map reflected in the front windscreen of a car. The car was traveling north on a motorway in the US, headed for home. The drive would turn out to be about twelve hours long. As far as I can remember, I have liked maps, in particular how they abstract reality in a useful and liberating way. If you have a map and an imagination, the fetters of life can not hold you prisoner, even if you sit at home. I am not sure why, but I like matching up a map to actual surroundings. In this case, the motorway that is seen through the window provides something tangible from the abstract lines on the map. I hope you like image.
Peter 5:5-9
Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
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.

An overwhelming amount of disappointment these days. Perhaps I am not cut out for the positions I seek.
Nonethelessss, I can't believe I never processed this guy! This is from one of my very first camera ventures. :)
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Yes, two great words to describe the fabulous Sydney Downunder. Her exterior beauty is eclipsed by her inner humility and grace. I've been shooting her now for over a year, and every time I do another one of her events, I find myself thinking what a lovely drag queen she is - inside and out.
If you'd like to see her in person, she often runs the Wednesday night gay men's social at Stella in Bellingham.

Macro Monday ~ Humility
Recognition and praise is most given to those who are the loudest and seem to have the most powerful moves. They appear to have greater value and worth. However, one should never underestimate the value of the humble pawn. This is where the game of chess, as well as life, is won.
" A passed pawn increase in strength as the number of pieces on the board diminishes." - Jose Capablanca
"Goliath:
Courage.
Virtue.
Struggling to do what is right.
Gargoyles and humans want to believe
that we are always in control,
That we can aide our loved ones in any crisis.
But there are times when life mocks our ride.
That is when we learn humility,
and that the greatest of our strengths is to persevere."
Gargoyles: The Goliath Chronicles - 1997
"In true prayer there is no worshipper and worship;
there is only the worshipped".
(Baba Narinder Singh J)
True prayer is a wonderful channel through which flows the powerful love current from the humble and yearning heart of a sikh to the Lotus feet of his beloved Satguru, from the Lover's heart to the beloved Lord.
A true prayer unites the Lover with the beloved Satguru in a true bond of love relationship.
A sincere prayer from the heart cannot go unheard, unheeded and unresponded.
A true prayer is a total submission, total surrender at the lotus feet of the Lord.
It rises from total humility of the heart; 'I'ego and 'Haumain' remains neutralised.
There is no assertion of individuality.
A true sense of meekness, nothingness, Garibi takes over. With total absence of ego (haumain) a direct divine channel is established and in this channel flows Divine Grace, Bliss, peace to the yearning and thirsting soul.
The greater the sense of humility the higher the force of flow of Grace and Bliss.
In the whole process of his prayer, a true sikh does not loosen the firm grasp and hold of the lotus feet of the beloved Satguru.
He gets what he seeks. In true and sincere prayer the mind sets rolling at the lotus feet of the beloved Satguru; is actually free from all thoughts and desires and seeks from the Lord the Lord Himself; seeking worldly pleasures and material possessions is no prayer.
True Bliss is experienced when ego is non-existent.
True Bliss fills the void created by the exit of ego, of total surrender of ego at the lotus feet of the Lord.
With ego surrendered, there is no more seeking, all desires disappear, the Sweet Will and Bliss of the Lord takes over.
Prayer should not be contaminated with materialistic desires of greed and lust.
Prayer should not be commercialized.
No business and bargaining attitude in a prayer.
Lord is certainly not in need of money and other offerings as He bestows these on all.
This was shot at the Athsath Tirath, in front of the Golden Temple in Amritsar (Punjab).

In late February, 2018, I trekked across the megalopolis (and prefecture) known as Tōkyo, where, by the late afternoon on this day, scattered rains had crept their way across the Kantō Plain, showering the streets with cold winds and water, adding to the already brisk air blanketing the city (and her wards), and granting me a dramatic view from the highest observation deck at the top of the Tōkyo Sky Tree, 451 meters above the ground.
.
The sight was truly beautiful to see (and this image hardly does it justice), as the sprawling jungle of human construction, which stood as a marvel of progress and achievement, was yet still humbled beneath that which the Lord hath made.
.
It shows us that, no matter how great we pridefully boast to be, or how advanced we think we are, we are - in all actuality - tiny by comparison to all that God has created, and we should never forget as such.
.
Yet being humble before such a reminder doesn't mean you can't marvel at the sheer beauty before your eyes, and being tiny by comparison in no way means you're insignificant either.
.
Truly we are capable of great and meaningful things in our lifetime. Tōkyo itself stands as proof of such a statement. But none of that comes without hard work, some sacrifice, being of service, having humility, and enduring and learning from a little adversity along the way.
.
So take up thy courage, leave thy bubble, and embark on an epic journey down a path of achievement to great and meaningful things! Yet while you do, don't forget to bask in the glory of all the Lord has created, be thankful for all He has provided, and humble enough to know your place in the world...
"We're sitting on our blessed Mother Earth from which we get our strength and determination, love and humility, all the beautiful attributes that we've been given. So turn to one another; love one another; respect one another; respect Mother Earth; respect the waters-because that's life itself!" ~ Phil Lane, Sr. YANKTON SIOUX
Our entire point of view can be altered by making one change to align with the principles of the Great Spirit. Let's say we decide to become respectful. As we become respectful, our attitude
will change. We will automatically draw into our lives knowledge about the other principles of the Great Spirit such as love, appreciation, trust, beauty, and peace of mind. By focusing on these principles, we will let go of selfishness, self centeredness, self pity, dishonesty, and fear. You focus on respect, you get respect; you focus on love, you get love; you focus on the Red Road, you get peace of mind. Great Spirit, let me learn the lessons of respect.

(Chorus)
Wade in the water.
Wade in the water, children.
Wade in the water.
God's gonna trouble the water.
Well, who are these children all dressed in red?
God's a-gonna trouble the water
Must be the children that Moses led
God's a-gonna trouble the water.
Chorus
Who's that young girl dressed in white
Wade in the Water
Must be the Children of Israelites
God's gonna trouble the Water.
Chorus
Jordan's water is chilly and cold.
God's gonna trouble the water.
It chills the body, but not the soul.
God's gonna trouble the water.
Chorus
If you get there before I do.
God's gonna trouble the water.
Tell all of my friends I'm coming too.
God's gonna trouble the water.
Chorus

"O God, you led the blessed Martin, your confessor, to heavenly glory along the way of humility; grant, we beseech you, that being made humble by his example, we may deserve to be exalted with him in heaven. Through Christ our Lord. Amen."

This is the city seen from the 30th floor of the US Bancorp building, where the Portland City Grill restaurant is located. The restaurant was quite crowded, and all the booths bordered windows overlooking the city.
Since I had traveled from Seattle to attain such a view (digitally), I was determined to get some photographs, even if it meant having to ask customers in the middle of their meals. Yes, it was bound to be awkward as I scrambled through the crowds of residents and tourists to find a good vantage point.
Luckily, one gentleman was sitting by himself at a booth overlooking the vista you see here. I decided to simply inquire if he would mind me taking a few shots. He was very pleasant and said he was waiting for his girlfriend to arrive so it wouldn't be any problem.
As I took photos of the city, he started to explain the history and details behind the urban planning of downtown, which was very interesting. We probably talked for about 10 minutes, and he thanked me for being a good listener, saying most people do not seem to care about how a city comes to be what it is.
I said it was I who should be thanking him because he was so kind to let me interrupt, and for the best gift I had received that day. When he asked me what I meant, I explained it was my birthday (and it was!) and he had helped to deliver the gift I wanted -- this photograph. He wished me a happy birthday, and a happy stay in Portland. After the brief crossing of paths, we both returned to the regular routines of our individual lives.
Enjoy, and never be afraid to ask! Humility and politeness do go a long way, as preposterous as that may sound in this day and age. Nevertheless, occasionally the gesture is returned and you both gain something from the exchange. That's how life should be, I suppose.

MacroMondays group has become a great inspirational boost. I am always left in awe of the wonderful contributions to this pool, hoping that just a spec of the talent from others might rub off on me allowing my petals to open more fully. Thanks for being such a great group! :D
Happy MacroMonday!
