Humility, de Wim Mertens.
Cerca de mi casa se encuentra un viejo edificio abandonado que fue un antiguo molino de harina. De hecho, la calle donde está se llama Del Molino.
La ventana, en sí, no tiene ningún atractivo especial; es el enorme orificio que hay en una de las hojas de las puertas de madera que la cierran el que siempre me ha llamado la atención: el hecho de no saber para qué servía y el misterio que supone una abertura que da paso a algo que se desconoce son motivos más que suficientes.
A veces no hace falta un espejo para sentirse reflejada...

From Wikipedia The Story of Humility as the Essence of Humanity ...
In the Mahabharatha,[2] Ekalavya is introduced as a young prince of the Nishada tribes. Ekalavya was born to Devashrava (brother of Vasudeva, who was father of Krishna) and was raised by Hiranyadhanus, the leader (King) of the Nishadhas, who was a commander in the army of Jarasandha (the king of Magadha).[3]
Eklavya was a small bright boy who lived near the ashrama of Drona, where Pandavas and Kauravas used to take lessons in various arts. He had great desire to learn the art of archery from Dronacharya. But his mother had told him that Drona would not accept Eklavya as his disciple because of his lower caste. It was futile to dream of such a privilege. But the boy was not be put off, his determination knew no bounds. he ask Guru Drona but but got refused.
Ekalavya goes off into the forest where he fashions a clay statue of Drona. Worshipping the statue as his preceptor, he begins a disciplined program of self-study. As a result, Ekalavya becomes an archer of exceptional prowess, greater to even to Drona's best pupil, Arjuna. One day while Ekalavya is practicing, he hears a dog barking. Before the dog can shut up or get out of the way, Ekalavya fires seven arrows in rapid succession to fill the dog's mouth without injuring it. The Pandava princes come upon the "stuffed" dog, and wonder who could have pulled off such a feat of archery. Searching the forest, they find a dark-skinned man dressed all in black, his body well built and his hair were long. It is Ekalavya, who introduces himself to them as a pupil of Drona..
Drona asked for the right thumb of Eklavya as his guru dakshina, or payment for teaching. Drona has been criticized by others over this incident. According to the Mahābhārata, Drona was protecting the fated superiority of Arjuna. All this, however, does leave open the question whether Drona was justified in demanding of Ekalavya a tribute that was neither, strictly speaking, his due nor, even loosely speaking, honestly intended. It also raises the further question that if Arjuna's superiority was truly fated, Ekalavya's mastery would have no consequence for the Pandavas. The Mahābhārata does not answer this question. The story leaves room for interpretation and moral speculation. As a result, a variety of answers have been proposed to the quest
Others have alleged that Ekalavya learned all his skills in archery by secretly observing the training sessions of Dronacharya. When Dronacharaya found out, he visited Ekalavya to verify his suspicions. Although Drona could have demanded an even greater punishment under the laws in effect at that time, he asked only for Ekalavya's right thumb.
Another interpretation construes Drona's demand as symbolic of the hegemonic self-imposition of Aryan mores upon the indigenous population of India, of which Ekalavya stands as a radiant example. He has been lauded by many Indians, including Adivasis, as a paragon of achievement; a person who trained himself to attain heights of accomplishment that the nobles of the Kuru house (see Kuru (kingdom)) could only achieve through formal tutelage.
Later, Ekalavya worked as a confidant of King Jarasandha. At the time of Rukmini's Swayamvara, he acted as the messenger between Shishupala and Rukmini's father Bhishmaka, at Jarasandha's behest.[3] Bhishmaka decides that Rukmini should marry Shishupala, but instead Rukmini elopes with Krishna. Ekalavya is later killed by Krishna during the latter's conflict with Jarasandha's army.[3][4] To be killed by Krishna is a mark, in Krishnaism (as in most forms of Vaishnavism), of exceptional divine favour..
on the soul
of a photographer
archery too is
photography
shooting pictures
silence scream less
soundless screech
but finding
dronacharya
for this lowly poet
was beyond his reach
but inspired
brahmanic
frontiers
of exclusivity
shut doors
he tried to breach
invoking the lotus
feet of his would be
reluctant reserved
godly guru
he did beseech
the guru knows not
it was unlearning
photography
to a poet he did teach
from the soul
of learning
imbibing
the values
to marziya
the peach
the Nikon D80
stuck to her
two and a half year
old cosmic
consciousness
like a leech
so marziya's guru by default is dronacharya as a figure of speech

You get to a certain age and it can be humbling to realize you need reading glasses to see correctly... Thank goodness I did not get to all the water photos I was planning for this week before I caught my error...! Glad to not stop at the word between humidity and humility for this shot...
For this week's MacroMondays group theme of "HumiLity" (NOT "humiDity"), but did not submit it to HmM in favor of two other images...
This setup was frustrating in that I found out my daughter had sold our only large dictionary in this weekend's garage sale, and I had to scramble to find another dictionary of sorts...
何事でも自己中心や虚栄からすることなく、へりくだって、互いにひとを自分よりもすぐれたものと思いなさい。
Huwag kayong gagawa ng anumang bagay dahil lamang sa hangad ninyong matanyag, bagkus magpakababa kayo at huwag ipalagay na kayo’y mabuti kaysa iba.
Philippians 2:3
In Humility
Due to fallen humanity’s innate self-centeredness the world does not highly regard humility. Yet the Bible’s God-centered view of humanity and salvation places the utmost importance on humility.
1. To be humble means we will be conscious of our weakness and quick to give credit to God and others for what we accomplish.
2.We must be humble because we are lowly creatures who are sinful apart from Christ and can boast in nothing except in the Lord. We are dependent on God for our worth and fruitfulness and can accomplish nothing of lasting good without God’s help and the help of others.
3.God lives with those who walk humbly. God gives more grace to the humble but opposes the proud. His most zealous children serve the Lord with great humility.
4.As believers we must live in humility toward others, considering them more important than ourselves.
5.The opposite of humility is pride, an exaggerated feeling of self-importance and self-esteem in a person who believes in his or her own merit, superiority and accomplishments. The inevitable tendency of human nature and the world is toward pride, not humility.

Branch of creative self-development where the individual ascends to inner heights of humility serving the spirit needed to guide their own creative skills that inform the function and professional state of their art practice.
The windows in this image are taken from the outside of the Fremantle Prison Chapel. You can see right through to the window on the other side of the Chapel, which is on the second floor of the prison facing westward.
The tree bark image that I have superimposed over this window image is to give the feeling that there is still life flowing through the timber which was used to construct this small Chapel and that with time it will shed the grief and tragedy that creates its past and again will become sacred and respected as it had once been for thousands and thousands of years before.
In the center of the window the bark forms a human figure that speaks of spirit and unfinished and unspoken truths that are hanging around frozen in time and needing to be shaken off with love and comprehension. The warmth of a heart can shake of all frozen traumas. These physical prisons have now been turned into internal life sentences handed down to their unaware ancestors generation after generation.
Added to each image in this album are their inspired stories to this emerging family HISHERTREE.
Each image has a word title that would have been spelt in English with "try" at the end like ancestry, carpentry, or infantry. I have added "tree" to replace the "try" and then taken their dictionary meanings that are only ever describing the outside physical world and married some spiritual elements.
The human beings body lives in the outside world of the physical but their inner self lives in the realm of spirit.
There are literally thousands of visible stars in this image alone, and billions more in this field of view that are to distant to be visible. And you believe that we are on the only one that could potentially harbour life? Well, I may not know which star has the planet that has the life that is looking up at us right now, but I do know that the brightest point in this picture is Deneb, a star in the tail feathers of the swan, Cygnus.
Humility and greatness do not resemble, but are at times the contrary, of modesty and conceit. Michelangelo was often humble, never modest; always aware of his own greatness, and never conceited.
It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know of wonder and humility.

This column, unlike the one on the left, at the entrance door, is carved with intricate arabesque designs. The one of the left is left blank with no design. This is the architect's way of achieving non-perfections as a show of humility and deference to Allah.

Humility, Pause, Wake Up - I took this photo last week during an overnight stay in Sauble Beach, Ontario, Canada. My intent at the time was to capture 'something beautiful' that would support a blog post in the future. The silhouetted seagull is perched atop a building called The Trading Post - and I was staying in that Trading Post's loft. I returned home earlier this week, leaving my daughter behind with family friends - and the plan was to pick her up today at my friend's home.
Last night, The Trading Post was destroyed by fire. My daughter and friends are all safe - though everything they had with them has been destroyed. They are still there, collecting their thoughts and awaiting the Fire Marshall and police department's final verdict as to whether or not the building can be accessed and if perhaps SOMETHING of theirs can be retrieved.
I see this photo now differently. I see smoke coming, close but not yet there. And I see myself as the seagull - looking the wrong way, misinterpreting the scene before me and getting lost in the beauty.

A friend used to call me "tak."
But for today, I would like to highlight something I like to call, "Tiny Acts of Kindness."
By tiny, I don't mean insignificant. What I mean is this wonderful mixture of generosity and kindness blended with humility and love.
On Sundays, visiting the pet fish stalls in Colon, Cebu City became a habit. There's just something about fish and not having to walk it every day. (Joking aside, I had a dachshund when I was in college. Oh the memories.)
On my way there, I noticed this dude holding clothes, looking at the people living on the streets, counting the clothes, then giving it to them.(I literally had 2 seconds to pull out the camera from the bag and take a shot.)
What amazed me the most was just the dude's act of kindness but also the lady in the photo. She said, while receiving the clothes and saying her thanks, to give some of it to the man down the street because he needs it more. From how she said it, she showed she isn't related to that man down the street in any way. She just cared for him. And that made my heart warm.
So warm, I'll be doing the same thing--doing Tiny Acts of Kindness.
Thanks dude!

I found him photogenic , and I liked his humility so I shot him , it was only later after I became a Malang that he told me we were both from the same Sufi order .
He went from shop to shop blessing the people reciting Sanskrit Shlokas at Hindu shops , and Koranic verses at Muslim shops .
I would meet him for Namaz during the two Eids , but sadly I have not seen him for several years now .. he was in bad health last few years back when I met outside a mosque near Mount Mary
And these are old pictures I was sartorially adventurous , loved silver antique jewelry but sold of most of this when bad days came ..a film producer died suddenly without paying the amount he owed me and I had to pay my suppliers I went through the worst period of my life ..I still remember those days when I was hounded by creditors , and even now I have to pay back a few friends who helped me in my very bad times .
