Humility is said to be a characteristic of the new pope. I suppose that humility extends to the choice of cars, a Chrysler, Dodge, or Plymouth Neon.

Essence of Siddi humility
as its core ..the Siddis always
humble love in their giant hearts
that they store ..Baba Gor ..
they implore and he loves his
children he opens all doors
sends them with wings on their
feet dancing away to other shores
The Siddis lost tribe of Africa
Indomitable lions doing Goma
love to roar ..transforming hope
adding to African Indian Gujrati folklore

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.

Tempera and gold leaf on panel
This small panel offered its owner intimate contemplation of the Virgin in her many aspects. Nursing the infant Christ, she reminds the viewer that she is mankind's compassionate intercessor. Her crown points to her role as Queen of Heaven, while the brooch and rays of light surrounding her signal her apocalyptic role. The artistic inventiveness exident in this combination of elements is typical of devotional imagery in this period.
Religious and spiritual poem reflecting on the beauty of Communion and the rhythm of worship and anticipation in the week for Sunday. A looking forward to the Celebration. The poem asks that Christ accept the communicant. These words appear in the work: In the poverty that lies of my sorrow,
I asked with the bended knee of my heart for gifts as Solomon did when he asked of You wisdom. Written and read aloud in this recording by the "Parish Poet" Peter Menkin, this is one of a number of poems about or celebrating the fact of Eucharist.
Wisdom day, I want to know
From my blog: Poem about Communion: Another one that reflects the experience...
It appears that I have a number of poems on the Communion experience. This one is like a prayer. I hope you like it. My experience with Communion has been a refreshing one.
Lay himself at the foot of the "Providence" is a source of wise humility and never cowardly waiting

Humility...it's often lost on a culture that is more about "it's all about me" rather than what can I do for myself and others.
God desires that we're humble servants...heart, mind and soul.
The problem today exists that too many of us spend far too much time focused on ourselves. We shouldn't think less of or belittle ourselves by any means but the heart of the problem is that as it's been well said... is that it's a matter of the heart because we can be so self-centered sometimes.
We're here to serve God and others. Yes, we should take care of ourselves but we need to remember that the world doesn't revolve around us friend (we should stop acting like it does), rather, we're to largely be others focused and we're here to to His will and for for His good pleasure.
Let's pray for one another that we would live and lead a biblically balanced life with humility at the forefront.
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8 ESV

An oldman told his grandson: “My son, there is a battle between two #wolves inside us all. One is evil. It is #anger , #jealousy , #greed, and #resentment, #inferiority, #lies and #ego . The other is good. It is #joy , #peace , #love, #hope , #humility , #kindness , #empathy, and #truth .” The boy thought about it, and asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?” The old man quietly replied, “The one you feed. ~ Unknown via Conflutech ift.tt/2jhe7Pd
Some of those dictators around the world, that is, the few who are still hanging on, are so crass and arrogant. For instance, they decree that posters and statues of El Numero Uno be placed or displayed EVERYWHERE, and be there ALL THE TIME. How ludicrous.
If I were in such a position, that would not be the case. Not at all. Well, maybe just a few posters would be OK, here and there. And only on my birthday. (Incidentally, it's a ways down the road, so there's still time.)
The crusader doorway is marked by a pointed arch that was reduced to this small size in the Ottoman period to keep the carts of looters from entering.
...between genuine humility, which is a type of modesty, and a lack of confidence. They are not the same thing at all, although many confuse them. This may explain, in part, why today humility is often thought of as a weakness, rather than as an indication of inner strength, especially in the context of business and professional life."
