If you were to paint one word on the wall, what would you write?

 

Photographer Zack Arias asked this question via Twitter earlier this year. Dozens of people responded. After a few hours, Zack tweeted this:

 

Love. Passion. Glory. Inspire. Care. Learn. Persevere. Seek. Onward. Dream. Continue. Explore. Grace. Fly. Humility. Smile. Create. Remember.

 

What a lot of people didn't know was what Zack was going to do with those responses. Well, it turns out that the following night, Zack would hold a mixer in his studio in advance of his One Light Workshop in Atlanta, GA. Zack mentioned that everyone was welcome (no participation in the Workshop was required), and I decided to come. This was my first time meeting Zack in person, who was an amazingly gracious host.

 

I took a brief walk around his studio and then saw this giant banner...

 

So that's what you decided to do with those responses, I remember saying. The word “fly” (in black letters) is significant: it's what Zack said he would paint on his wall.

With characteristic humility 'W O' was constantly amazed by the enthusiasm of later generations for the products of Bentley Motors Limited, and it is testimony to the soundness of his engineering design skills that so many of his products have survived. From the humblest of beginnings in a mews garage off Baker Street, London in 1919 the Bentley rapidly achieved fame as an exciting fast touring car, well able to compete with the best of European and American sports cars in the tough world of motor sport in the 1920s. Bentley's domination at Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930 is legendary, and one can only admire the Herculean efforts of such giants as Woolf Barnato, Jack Dunfee, Tim Birkin and Sammy Davis, consistently wrestling the British Racing Green sports cars to victory.

 

W O Bentley proudly unveiled the new 3-litre car bearing his name on Stand 126 at the 1919 Olympia Motor Exhibition, the prototype engine having fired up for the first time just a few weeks earlier. Bentley's four-cylinder 'fixed head' engine incorporated a single overhead camshaft, four-valves per cylinder and a bore/stroke of 80x149mm. Twin ML magnetos provided the ignition and power was transmitted via a four-speed gearbox with right-hand change. The pressed-steel chassis started off with a wheelbase of 9' 9½", then adopted dimensions of 10' 10" ('Standard Long') in 1923, the shorter frame being reserved for the TT Replica and subsequent Speed Model. Rear wheel brakes only were employed up to 1924 when four-wheel Perrot-type brakes were introduced.

In only mildly developed form, this was the model that was to become a legend in motor racing history and which, with its leather-strapped bonnet, classical radiator design and British Racing Green livery, has become the archetypal Vintage sports car.

 

Early success in the 1922 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, when Bentleys finished second, fourth, and fifth to take the Team Prize, led to the introduction of the TT Replica (later known as the Speed Model) on the existing 9' 9½" wheelbase, short standard chassis. Identified by the Red Label on its radiator, the Speed Model differed by having twin SU 'sloper' carburettors, a higher compression ratio, different camshaft and the close-ratio A-type gearbox, the latter being standard equipment prior to 1927 when the C-type 'box was adopted. These engine changes increased maximum power from the standard 70 to 80bhp and raised top speed to an impressive 90mph. Other enhancements included the larger (11-gallon) fuel tank and (usually) Andre Hartford shock absorbers. Bentley made approximately 1,600 3-Litre models, the majority of which was bodied by Vanden Plas with either open tourer or saloon coachwork.

Dr Clare Hay's authoritative work, Bentley, The Vintage Years, records the fact that '35' (with engine number '33') was completed in January 1922 on the standard 9' 9½" wheelbase chassis with coupé coachwork by the Wilton Carriage Company. The registration is recorded as 'XK 3010' and the first owner as one H A Baldwin. As its chassis number suggests, this is the 35th production car completed (and only the 40th Bentley ever made, taking into account the few experimental cars). Its engine is rather special, incorporating a Speed Model-type camshaft, lighter pistons, and the famous Smiths five-jet carburettor, which 'W O' believed gave better performance than the twin SUs more commonly employed.

 

Copies of the factory records on file list extensive maintenance and improvements made at the Cricklewood factory, and as well as listing successive owners up to the early 1930s. It appears that the car was under warranty from new until 1927, this six-year period indicating the car's quality and Bentley's confidence in its products.

'35' reappeared in the mid-1950s, complete but minus its body, in the ownership of George Strathdee, a well-known member of the Bentley Drivers' Club. It was Strathdee who fitted the car's current Harrison tourer body, which had been removed from chassis '90' (since destroyed).

In the 1990s the Bentley underwent a complete restoration (chassis, engine, axle, bodywork, etc) to the highest standard. In 2007 the car left the UK for the very first time when it was acquired by the immediately preceding owner, a French Bentley enthusiast, who would keep it for the next 15 years.

Now more than a century old, this magnificent early Bentley is presented in full working order and complete with all its accessories. It is eligible for numerous prestigious Historic events, most notably the Le Mans Classic, and would be a welcome entrant at any Concours d'Élégance or capable companion on any long-distance tour or rally.

My plan was to describe this scene with educational prose, but I was cautioned against it by my spiritual guru (the Bhagwan Hotair Windbag of Antelope). As is my custom, I run all my images past the the Bhagwan's Blessed Office of Concurrence to ensure that they do not run afoul of the Bhagwan's philosophy. The last thing I want to do is to offend His Supposed Humility, as he might get miffed enough to ask me to increase my amount of tithing to a painful degree. In this case, the Office chastised me, so I discarded the idea of including surfer-friendly prose.

 

Thus it is left to the reader to interpret what is pictured here. (I have permission to name the place and the occasion---this was a hike in San Rafael Reef.) I am also permitted to reveal that Joe Tripod participated in this act of documentation, holding my camera as steady as my faith in the Bhagwan.

 

Comments reflecting a less-than-honorable intention will not be received with an outpouring of gratitude.

 

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.

Humility. "I who made the moon and stars, have knelt to wash your feet". The depth of the messages over the Easter period always seem to resonate strongly.

What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but an absence of self-criticism. - G. K. Chesterton

“What makes humility so desirable is the marvelous thing it does to us; it creates in us a capacity for the closest possible intimacy with God”

~Monica Baldwin~

I am the handmaid of the Lord, let it be done unto me according to hy word". By these words Mary accepted to become the Mother of Our Lord. A true example of humility, purity, faithfulness and devotion to God.

MANNING NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY, Albany, Georgia, April 28, 2014 – With the humility of its namesake, the Manning National Guard Armory dedication ceremony was unpretentious and earnest Monday afternoon. The crowd of family, friends and former Warriors-in-Arms paid homage to the Georgia National Guard’s first senior enlisted advisor and State Command Sgt. Major William ‘Billy’ Manning with the renaming of the home to Company ‘F’, 148th Brigade Support Battalion, Georgia Army National Guard. Manning’s ‘Make it Happen’ leadership style made a dramatic impact on all he encountered including the State of Georgia National Guard’s seventh Command Sgt. Major and first African-American to be accepted into the position, James Nelson. Now an active U. S. Army National Guard advocate Nelson credits Manning with getting his career underway.In an interview in 2011 Nelson reflected on his career and the man who made a difference by turning is career around.“It was early in my career and I was an E-5 (Sgt.) contemplating leaving the Georgia Guard after a reorganization,” Nelson recalled. “After speaking with him he said, ‘give it a minute,’ was able to transfer me into a different (job specialty) and it was my first introduction to making it happen by taking care of Soldiers.”Manning would later pin the rank of Staff Sgt., E-6, on Nelson and becoming a mentor to the fledgling noncommissioned officer.It was the State of Georgia’s eighth senior enlisted advisor, Command Sgt. Major Phillip Stringfield who initiated the designation change to honor the legend who was famous for his heavy-handed training tactics to punctuate the need for situational awareness when you are in the business of combat arms.“His style could put you off initially,” Stringfield said. “Sgt. Major Manning was a direct, no-nonsense leader whom I’ve attempted to mirror in my style of leading our Soldiers.” (Georgia Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Tracy J. Smith)

Soy un judío”. ¿Es que un judío no tiene ojos? ¿Es que un judío no tiene manos, órganos, proporciones, sentidos, afectos, pasiones? ¿Es que no se alimenta de la misma comida, herido por las mismas armas, sujeto a las mismas enfermedades, curado por los mismos medios, calentado y enfriado por el mismo verano y por el mismo invierno que un cristiano? Si nos pincháis, ¿no sangramos? Si nos haceis cosquillas, ¿no nos reímos?, Si nos envenenáis, ¿no nos morimos? Y si nos ultrajáis, ¿no nos vengaremos?

  

He hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million, laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies; and what's his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?

If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.

Sheer humility and love. Sat guru Mohanji prostrating at the feet of Sri Sri Sri Vittalananda Saraswathi Maharaj (Sri Sri Sri Vittal Babaji)

For the theme of humility, I chose a very humble flower - the daisy. And despite its humble reputation, it turned out to be really quite interesting and lovely. Well done humble little daisy!

That's the title of this sculpture installed in front of the tomb of Henry Bergh, who founded the ASPCA in 1866 and who "alone, in the face of indifference, opposition, and ridicule," worked to bring an end to the many barbaric acts of animal cruelty once seen as acceptable. The sculpture originally hung on the side of the ASPCA headquarters in Manhattan; it was moved here in 2006.

“Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” From Matthew 23:1-12

 

MEDITATION

“…Humility frees us to Love and Serve others willingly and selflessly, for their own sake, rather than for our own.

 

“…Do you want to be a servant as Jesus Loved and Served others? The Lord Jesus gives us HIS heart - the heart of a servant who seeks the good of others and puts their interests first in HIS care and concern for them.”

 

PRAYER

"Lord Jesus, YOU became a servant for my sake to set me free from the tyranny of selfish pride and self-concern. Teach me to be Humble as YOU are Humble and to Love others generously with selfless Service and Kindness."

I can see humility

Delicate and white

It is satisfying just by itself

And Trust, absolute trust

a gift, a precious gift

I would rather think of humility than

anything else.

 

Humility, the beautiful daughter

She cannot do either right or wrong

She does not do anything

All of her ways are empty

Infinitely light and delicate

She treads an even path

Sweet, smiling, uninterrupted, free

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.

Parry, 90, was lauded for his leadership, optimism, and humility. He was noted for his key leadership role with the Puget Sound Alliance for Retired Americans, “a vibrant and important voice in the city of Seattle.”
