Sensitive Issues
"Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,
gentleness and patience." Colossians 3:12 (NIV)
Humans are tender creatures. All of us are. Even though many times we pretend things don’t bother us, many things really do. I remember a situation that began with a phone call late one night from a frantic wife. She called us for help because she and her husband were having a terrible fight and he was packing to leave.
When we arrived at their home, it was chaotic. She was in the living room with the children. They were all very upset and crying. He was in the garage loading his car to leave. Karen tried to comfort her and I talked to him in the garage.
Here is the short version. The husband was the type of person who hid his personal pain beneath a tough exterior. The more hurt and afraid he felt, the more dominant and intimidating he acted. He’d found out weeks earlier that his wife had some physical problems that were pretty serious. He was concerned and told her to go to the doctor. She didn’t. Every time he reminded her she would just brush him off.
On the night of the fight, he became very dominant and forceful with her about another issue. However, what was really bothering him was the thought that she might die. He cherished her and couldn’t stand the thought that her medical problems might be terminal. His fears took over and emotions got out of control.
As we sat with them and talked things out, she watched him sob uncontrollably as he talked about how much he loved her and how afraid he was something might happen to her. She admitted that the reason she didn’t go to the doctor was because the possible cost. As you can see, both were bothered by something and both of their concerns were valid. However, because they didn’t honestly discuss their feelings, the situation nearly ended in tragedy.
I’ve learned over the years that everything matters. Because of that, I am honest about my feelings and sensitive to Karen’s. I realize that when I’m bothered by something Karen says or does, there is usually more to her behavior.
Rather than reacting to what she says, I’ve learned to pursue what is going on with her on a deeper level. On many occasions, this has kept me from reacting with rejection, withdrawal or verbal aggression. It has also caused me to deeply respect the sensitivity of Karen’s heart and my own as well.
Talk It Out | What underlying issues in your relationship are you reluctant to bring to the surface and talk about? This would be a good time to begin a conversation about sensitive issues that really matter and allow your spouse to see it from your perspective.
Walk It Out | Call your spouse at an unexpected time this week, just to say, “I’m thinking of you.” God bless
O God, please help all family members to honor one another.
That we may learn to encourage one another by affirming each other’s goodness.
That we may learn to know from others how we can improve more in Holy Virtues of Love.
Please give us the grace to be mindful of our words.
That we may continue to be in the Holy Presence of God.
Always speaking Words of Wisdom in the Spirit of Gratefulness and thankfulness.
These that our Spirit may be enkindled more to do good deeds,
Through the affirmation of our family of our Heart’s Goodness.
Never to put down or discourage,
But that confidence to be a more loving person may reign in the family.
These that we also learn to know ourselves through the eyes of others.
And with Humility that we also be thankful to everyone’s good advice.
That The Holy Spirit of Peace and Respect may reign in all families forevermore!
Amen.
The main access to the Basilica is by the very small Door of Humility. Visitors must enter bending over, as if to a real cave. Originally the church had three entrances, two of which have been walled up. The present small entrance was made during the Ottoman era to prevent mounted horsemen from entering the Basilica. The doorway was reduced from an earlier Crusader doorway, the pointed arch of which can still be seen above the current door. The outline of the Justinian square entrance can also be seen above the door.

A lover knows only humility, he has no choice.
He steals into your alley at night, he has no choice.
He longs to kiss every lock of your hair, don't fret,
he has no choice.
In his frenzied love for you, he longs to break the chains
of his imprisonment, he has no choice.
A lover asked his beloved:
- Do you love yourself more than you love me?
Beloved replied: I have died to myself and I live for you.
I've disappeared from myself and my attributes,
I am present only for you.
I've forgotten all my learnings, but from knowing you I've become a scholar.
I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able.
I love myself...I love you. I love you...I love myself.
I am your lover, come to my side, I will open the gate to your love.
Come settle with me, let us be neighbours to the stars. You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love.
Even so, you have always been connected to me.
Concealed, revealed, in the known, in the un-manifest. I am life itself.
You have been a prisoner of a little pond,
I am the ocean and its turbulent flood.
Come merge with me,leave this world of ignorance.
Be with me, I will open the gate to your love.
I desire you more than food or drink. My body my senses my mind hunger for your taste. I can sense your presence in my heart although you belong to all the world. I wait with silent passion for one gesture one glance from you.

Thanks to Mel for taking me up to Newcastle for a great evening of drawing and talking. Thanks to Topsy, Andy Sheridan and Debbie for the life class.
For the beginning of humility is the beginning of blessedness and
the consummation of humility is the perfection of all joy.
-----Thomas Merton
We admire the humility of the poor...their simplicity of smiling like we were children...so full of joy and gladness...for their happiness is based not on material things they own...but on the friendship, family love and community love they have for one another...
This really was my earliest flirtation with film and SLRs, learning to use an old Russian fully manual camera (the one in my user icon), kindly loaned to me by the irrepressible knautia after my digital point & shoot died...
Commercial Break Continues
Filing coherently is proving to be an interesting process. Still uploading archive remnants so I can start afresh with the outstanding film I haven't developed yet. Thanks for bearing with me whilst I catch up with myself...

"What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can
comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking
person with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinely religious
feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism."

Leslie Iwai 'Humility', series 'Sounding Stones', (5 pieces) near the pedestrian bridge off the soutn side of Happy Hollow and Dodge Streets, Omaha, Nebraska
2021 marks the 100th year since the passing of a mighty soul who is yet known to most but future generation will celebrate His life in awe of His profound examples of humility, justice, detachment, love, determination to name only a few of His immense spiritual qualities
"Therefore, anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven."
Sirach 3: 17-24 (GNTD)
17*My child, be humble in everything you do, and people will appreciate it more than gifts. 18*The greater you become, the more humble you should be; then the Lord will be pleased with you. 20*The Lord's power is great, and he is honored by those who are humble. 21*Don't try to understand things that are too hard for you, or investigate matters that are beyond your power to know. 22*Concentrate on the Law, which has been given to you. You do not need to know about things which the Lord has not revealed, 23*so don't concern yourself with them. After all, what has been shown to you is beyond human power to understand. 24*Many people have been misled by their own opinions; their wrong ideas have warped their judgment.
archway between two courtyards, Sacred House, a hotel in an old Greek house. It was nice to see such care taken over restoration of this building, respecting the Greek theme (with some mysticism, pre-Raphaelism and fairyland thrown in) but I also feel more than a twinge of sadness when I think about the family who must have lived here, sent to Greece, the land of their ancestors, during the forced exchange of populations in 1923 (the background to Jeffrey Eugenides' novel Middlesex, and for Louis de Bernières' Birds without Wings).
Have a look at the hotel website, the pictures of the restoration are incredible; the interior design a little over the top for my taste but awesome all the same - you should see the bathrooms! I have more pics to post, later. (The English on their site leaves a lot to be desired, but it is much better than my Turkish.)
