Life is difficult and complicated and beyond anyone's total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.

""Near the teahouse you find a famous and unique stone water basin, with water continually flowing for ritual purification. This is the Ryōan-ji Tsukubai, which translates as "crouch"; because of the low height of the basin, the user must bend over to use it, in a sign of reverence and humility.
The shape mimics an ancient Chinese coin, the sentiment is the opposite of materialism.
Tsukubai are usually of stone, and are often provided with a small ladle, ready for use. A supply of water may be provided via a bamboo pipe, called a kakei.
The famous tsukubai shown here stands in the grounds of the Ryoanji Temple (龍安寺 or 竜安寺, Ryōanji), Kyoto, Japan in Kyoto, and was donated by the feudal lord Tokugawa Mitsukuni.
The kanji written on the surface of the stone are without significance when read alone. If each is read in combination with 口 (kuchi) - the shape of the central bowl - then the characters become 吾, 唯, 足, 知 which translates literally as "I only know plenty" (吾 = ware = I, 唯 = tada = only, 足 = taru = plenty, 知 = shiru = know).
The underlying meaning, variously translated as "what one has is all one needs", or "learn only to be content" reflects the basic anti-materialistic teachings of Buddhism."""
Information - WiKi
""Tsukubai has an unique inscription; if it is not raining, you see four Chinese characters on each side of it and it means: "I only learn to be content" or “I am content with what I am”.
He who learns only to be contented is spiritually rich, while the one who doesn't learn to be contented is spiritually poor even if he is materially wealthy. This concept is important in the Zen spirit.""
Information - from the brochure
The temple and its gardens are listed as one of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, and as an UNESCO World Heritage.
The ascending view of the stairs always gives me the positive feeling, pushes me to improve and motivate me to make effort to rise in the life. We should always strive for improvement in life, work, relationship, skills, ability, thoughts, etc. The improvement means not better than others but better than ourselves from our previous level but with humility and not with arrogance.
Cloth yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, goodness, patience and over all these virtues put on LOVE which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3:12, 14
Violet is a symbol of humility and penance as well as self-reflection.
I wish you all a nice weekend.✌

Beautiful Build by Kitty von Cat - Thank you, Kitty! ♥♥
This Lily finally bloomed in our backyard. The Casa Blanca Oriental Lily is a favorite among gardeners and florists. In the garden its dazzling, fragrant 10" blooms are eye-catching and they attract butterflies. Delicate and fragrant, Oriental lilies are some of the most beautiful lilies to plant in the garden. Their fragrance permeates the summer breeze. Lilies symbolize devotion and humility and the White Lily, purity and innocence.

Übermut bringt Krieg,

Armut macht Demut,
Demut macht wieder Frieden.

It is with great pleasure and humility that I participate in this campaign for such a necessary and present cause of our conscience and attention.
Violence is a monster that lives in all environments, in all social classes and respects nothing and no one. It is imperative that we open our eyes, look around and help those who suffer from this hell. It is imperative that we give our children fundamental values such as humility, empathy, solidarity, a sense of justice and, above all, respect for ourselves and others.
For all women who suffer violence, never forget ... It is your silence that dictates the strength of your abuser.
A huge thank you, Lawrence and Kess for this initiative.
For more details about this campaign, please check here:
humility is recognizing our amazing goodness while not making ourselves such a big deal. the world could use more humility. may we all move through this day with more kindness and grace.
Don't take for granted the love this life gives you
When you get where you're goin'
Don't forget to turn back around
Help the next one in line
Always stay humble and kind

«Das nächste Spiel ist immer das schwerste Spiel!» Diesen schon lange zum geflügelten Wort gewordenen Satz schrieb die deutsche Fussball-Legende Joseph 'Sepp' Herberger als Trainer in einem Rundbrief and die Spieler der Nationalmannschaft 1954.
Auch nach nun mittlerweile doch einer Reihe von Jahren im Patenbereich merke ich immer wieder mit Demut: «Der nächste (unabhängige) Patentanspruch ist immer der schwerste Patentanspruch.»

"The next game is always the hardest game!" This sentence, which has long since become a proverb, was written by the German soccer legend Joseph 'Sepp' Herberger as a coach in a circular letter to the players of the national team in 1954.
After a quite a number of years in the patent profession, I still continue to realize with a sense of humility: "The next (independent) claim is always the hardest claim."
Some people in SL need to have a bit of humility and remember that Second LIfe is just a virtual game, that when you log off the game, your RL life returns to being what it was. Be more humble, have more love in your heart and stop thinking that you are better than the others, because all this is an illusion. Kiss♥
The search for the balance of two or more stones requires patience and humility, detachment from the passage of time, immersion in nature, listening to sounds and silence. It is a mental discipline that increases the sensitivity and perception of the exchange of energy between the subject and the stone to be placed in balance as reported in the international artistic manifesto of stone balance
This is dedicated to my amazingly strong, courageous and talented friend, Camille Gili, whom I admire enormously. We started a very special friendship this year which I cherish. Camille's work is sensitive, delicate, beautiful and full of feeling. Please visit her awesome works at the following link:

"Las personas más bellas con las que me he encontrado son aquellas que han conocido la derrota, conocido el sufrimiento, conocido la lucha, conocido la perdida, y han encontrado su forma de salir de las profundidades. Estas personas tienen una apreciación, una sensibilidad y una comprensión de la vida que los llena de compasión, humildad y una profunda inquietud amorosa. La gente bella no surge de la nada"
Elizabeth Kübler-Ross
"The most beautiful people I have met are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, humility, and deep loving concern. Beautiful people don't come out of nowhere."

contrairement aux arcs de triomphe, la porte de modestie ne célèbre aucune victoire fondée sur la violence, les morts en grand nombre, les mutilations par plus grand nombre encore, les traumatismes qui ne s’effacent qu’au dernier jour des survies, la porte de modestie ouvre sur un paysage campagnard, d’une campagne tout ordinaire qui n’offre aucun paysage à couper le souffle, la porte de modestie est faite de planches en bois inégales et ajustées l’une contre l’autre, d’un bois qui n’a rien de précieux,
au fil du blog Éléments du monde ordinaire vous trouverez en contrepoint de quoi lire et imaginer ou bâiller,

a chance meeting introduces me to this little girl but so great in humility ..... it is I who learn from you thank you very much
Travel creates humility.
But for that you have to leave the comforting bubble of luxury hotels and tourist attractions. You have to go out and talk to people. And you have to see how they live. Like here, for example, in a village in the Atlas mountains of Morocco.
I don't even pretend to know what life might be like in such an area. But the thought that families fight for their survival here every day, that here in the alleys between the houses children play, whose prospects ideally have to be classified as low, gives me an extremely oppressive feeling.
How much energy and money do we waste in our prosperous "West" just to feel morally superior.
As long as there are places like this on the planet, and there are so many of them, I would consider any discussion about electric cars, heat pumps and even language restrictions to be deeply insulting and arrogant towards the people who have real problems.
Reisen schafft Demut.
Doch dafür muss man die wohlige Blase der Luxushotels und der Touristenattraktionen verlassen. Man muss hinaus gehen und mit den Menschen sprechen. Und man muss sich anschauen, wie sie leben. Zum Beispiel so wie hier, in einem Dorf in den Bergen des Atlas in Marokko.
Ich maße mir nicht einmal ansatzweise an zu wissen, wie das Leben in einer solchen Gegend sein könnte. Doch der Gedanke, dass hier Familien tagtäglich um ihr Überleben kämpfen, dass hier in den Gassen zwischen den Häusern Kinder spielen, deren Perspektive man im Idealfall als gering einstufen muss, verschafft mir ein äußerst beklemmendes Gefühl.
Wie viel Energie und Geld verschwenden wir, in unserem von Wohlstand verwahrlosten "Westen" nur um uns moralisch überlegen zu fühlen.
So lange es noch solche Orte auf dem Planeten gibt, und es gibt von Ihnen so unfassbar viele, betrachte ich jede Diskussion über Elektroautos, Wärmepunpen und gar Sprachvorschriften als zutiefst beleidigend und arrogant den Menschen gegenüber, die wirkliche Probleme haben.

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
The little man sometimes likes to travel through his wardrobe and talk with his friend Aslan...

i love going into my backyard garden after a rain. water drops and lush green are soothing to my spirit. there’s a graceful humility in this chive’s bowed head. a reminder of community and belonging.
Daniel Mural Project
Artist, Que Rock, from Nipissing First Nation, created this mural in honour of the 215 children found in May, 2021, in Kamloops B.C. and the many more mass graves that continue to be found. (For many decades in the past, the government placed First Nations’ children in residential schools run by the Catholic and Anglican churches. Children were forbidden to speak their own language and rarely ever got to see their parents.)
On the left, the sun symbolizes the Seven Grandfather Teachings of wisdom, love, humility, respect, honesty, courage and truth. On the right, Grandmother Moon with the colours of the traditional medicine wheel represents the connection to Turtle Island, the water nation and Mother Earth. In the middle, eagles carry children to the Spirit World while holding fish for the healing journey.
The Golden Temple Amritsar India (Sri Harmandir Sahib Amritsar) has a unique Sikh architecture. Built at a level lower than the surrounding land level, The Gurudwara teaches the lesson of egalitarianism and humility. The four entrances of this holy shrine from all four directions, signify that people belonging to every walk of life are equally welcome.
The Golden Temple Amritsar India is not only a central religious place of the Sikhs, but also a symbol of human brotherhood and equality. Everybody, irrespective of cast, creed or race can seek spiritual solace and religious fulfilment without any hindrance. It also represents the distinct identity, glory and heritage of the Sikhs.
The name of the city derives from the name of the pool around the Golden Temple (aka Harmandir Sahib) and means "holy pool of nectar". It is the spiritual and cultural center of the Sikh religion, and they are rightfully very proud of the city and their very beautiful and unique Gurdwara (place of worship).
Visitors to the Golden Temple must remove their shoes and cover their heads before entering the temple.

Thank you so much for your kind words, faves and invitations to groups! I really appreciate each of them !!!
Please rethink your political standing and remember you are here to protect the American people and how important it is to get along with countries all over the world Mr. President. We need more tolerance, respect, the ability to embrace our differences and to come together in unity finding compatible solutions for our goals. We all belong to humanity and each one of us has a place within it, this country was founded on liberty and it seems to be slipping away.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Dans cette photographie, j’ai voulu saisir un instant d’émerveillement face à l’immensité du ciel.
On y voit ma silhouette, seule, posée sur un relief rocheux et enveloppée d’une lueur rouge venue du sol. Cette lumière terrestre contraste avec l’obscurité profonde de la nuit, illuminée par la Voie lactée qui se déploie au-dessus de moi.
Ce que j’ai voulu montrer, c’est le dialogue entre l’humain et l’univers : ma présence paraît minuscule, presque fragile, face à l’infini des étoiles. Pourtant, cette posture contemplative traduit aussi l’humilité et la paix que l’on peut ressentir lorsqu’on prend le temps de lever les yeux vers le ciel.
À travers cette image, j’ai cherché à capter ce vertige, ce sentiment de grandeur et de mystère que provoque l’infini. C’est un instant suspendu, une rencontre lumineuse entre la Terre et le cosmos...
In this photograph, I wanted to capture a moment of wonder at the immensity of the sky.
It shows my silhouette, alone, resting on a rocky outcrop and enveloped in a red glow from the ground. This earthly light contrasts with the deep darkness of the night, illuminated by the Milky Way unfolding above me.
What I wanted to show was the dialogue between man and the universe: my presence seems tiny, almost fragile, against the infinity of the stars. Yet this contemplative posture also expresses the humility and peace we can feel when we take the time to look up at the sky.
Through this image, I sought to capture the vertigo, the feeling of grandeur and mystery that infinity provokes. It's a suspended moment, a luminous encounter between the Earth and the cosmos...
"When we observe space, we are looking at our own origins, for we are truly the children of the stars..."
