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...

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.
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.
"I long to accomplish great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble." - Helen Keller
Title: Taking out the garbage:
a short play about two garbage collectors to be read aloud by two people:
Jo:
I'm tired of this job.
Alex:
What's the problem?
Jo
It used to be fun driving the truck.
Now I just don't want to do it.
Alex
Well, it's nice to be outside all day...
Jo
Yeah, when it's not hot, or cold, or raining....and I have to get up so early!
And worst of all, people say, “Oh, you're a garbage collector,” like I'm garbage myself.
I've had it.
Alex
I think our job is one of the most important in the city.
Jo
Are you crazy? Important?
Alex
Sure! Imagine if no one took away the garbage? The city would smell terrible and shut down. It happened once when a storm closed the roads. Sure, it may not be fun work, but it's really important. Other people take care of other things we need; I take care of this. It's my city, and I help keep it clean. You do, too.
Jo
(thinking, then smiling):
What has four wheels and flies?
Alex
Our city-cleaning garbage truck!

Extreme humility supplication made by Holy Prophet (saw) at Arafat.
"O my Allah, You accept pleadings of human beings in anguish. You are well aware of my status and You know my secret. And there is nothing hidden from you.
I am merely a beggar crushed by calamities.
I have come to seek Thy help.
I am asking for refuge in your Protection. And am trebling with fear. Like a helpless beggar (Faqeer) I beg of you.
Like a sinner in humility and shame I supplicate. Like a broken man who is scared I spread my hands before you, whos neck is bent before you in submission and whos tears are flowing before you in hope. My body is bent in absolute submission before you in expression of my insignificance.
O my Allah, O the Mighty accepter of prayers, O the Best Giver I plead with Thee not to disappoint me in my prayer. Please treat me with kindness and have Mercy on me."
To see this: look at this column and its counterpart (the next photo) on the other side of the entrance to see the non-symmetry in the seemingly symmetrical entrance.
The mosque is known for its symmetry and perfection in its design and architecture. One has to look hard at the deliberate little touches by its architect to achieve the non-symmetry in his deference and show of humility to Allah.
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.

Proverbs 16:18 (Amplified Bible)
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 29:23 (Amplified Bible)
A man's pride will bring him low, but he who is of a humble spirit will obtain honor.
Matthew 23:12
Whoever exalts himself with haughtiness and empty pride shall be humbled (brought low), and whoever humbles himself [whoever has a modest opinion of himself and behaves accordingly] shall be raised to honor.
James 4:6
But He gives us more and more grace ([a]power of the Holy Spirit, to meet this evil tendency and all others fully). That is why He says, God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually] to the lowly (those who are humble enough to receive it).(A)
finally if we're reading the above and thinking about someone else who lacks humility....hmmmm...
This is Sandy the Dog. She is deaf. When in life....you think yours sucks...just imagine what others are going through and be grateful.
“I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day.”
― Abraham Lincoln

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!

In September 2013, I was given the opportunity to shoot for a non-profit organisation called e.motion21. This is an organisation that provide an Australia-first, innovative dance and fitness program designed specifically for children and young adults with Down Syndrome.
This is a series of their rehearsal leading up to a dance event called Musicool. It was an eye opening experience having to shoot this event as I had never shot a subject matter relating to Down Syndrome prior to this. The most essential thing that I realised was that these kids and young adults are no different from what society deems as 'normal'. Everyone experiences struggles and it is the passion that keeps us going. For them, the unity through dance is the core of their passion and joy.
Chapel of the Lord of Humility, basically in the middle of the street. The smallest chapel in Mexico City with a capacity of no more than 20 standees. Has a reputation for crime and prostitution - it was locked this early Wednesday morning and the street was quiet, almost abandoned. All the adjacent streets were lined with busy stores.
In colonial times this was the edge of the city, Lake Texcoco began about where the pink taxi is at right.
