"The Almighty conceived the cactus plant. If God would choose a plant to represent him, I think he would choose of all plants the cactus. The cactus has all the blessings he tried, but mostly failed, to give to man.....It has humility, but it is not submissive. It grows where no other plant will grow. It does not complain when the sun bakes it back or the wind tears it from the cliff or drowns it in the dry sand of the desert or when it is thirsty. When the rains come it stores water for the hard times to come. In good times and in bad it will still flower. It protects itself against danger, but it harms no other plant. It adapts perfectly to almost any environment. It has patience and enjoys solitude."
An exceprt from the book The Power of One by Bryce Courtney
If we all put our hearts and minds together in collaboration, working towards a better world, everyone, and I mean everyone, will be better off for sure!
In today's world, where some forget their children's needs, I want to emphasize the importance of being there for our children, whatever their needs may be. We cannot dictate, we must accompany and help in every way!!!!! It is not easy!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
The single white rose conveys a strong and deep message of hope, respect, and love. It conveys the purity of that love and deep respect. When a single white rose is given, it not only signals a level of humility but also conveys an everlasting love and devotion between two people.
"For My hand made all these things, Thus all these things came into being," declares the LORD "But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word."
Isaiah 66:2

After the brilliant sunsets and romantic sunrises (of which there will be more to see in the near future), I would like to set a somewhat quieter tone with my Monday flower greeting today.
Because despite all the joy and euphoria over a special experience or personal success, it is important to make sure not to lose your grip on the ground.
And so it is important for me to pause for a moment from time to time to give space to humility and gratitude.
This is the only way to ensure that the joy lasts for a long time and that success does not result in excessive expectations. An expectation of those around me, but also of myself, which ultimately creates a pressure to perform that creates more suffering from passion.
And so I wish you moments of reflection on yourself and what is important to you this week. To your strength and what drives you. But also gratitude for everything and everyone who supported you on your path. Even if it was just the luck of being in the right place at the right time.
Nach den strahlenden Sonnenuntergängen und den romantischen Sonnenaufgängen (von denen in nächster Zeit auch noch einiges zu sehen sein wird wird) möchte ich heute mit meinem montäglichen Blumengruß etwas leisere Töne anschlagen.
Denn bei all der Freude und Euphorie über ein besonderes Erlebnis oder über einen persönlichen Erfolg ist es wichtig darauf zu achten die Bodenhaftung nicht zu verlieren.
Und so heißt es auch für mich von Zeit zu Zeit kurz inne zu halten, um Demut und DankbarkeitRaum zu geben.
Nur so ist gewährleistet, dass die Freude von langer Dauer ist und der Erfolg nicht in eine überhöhte Erwartungshaltung mündet. Eine Erwartung an mein Umfeld, aber auch an mich selbst, was schlußendlich einen Leistungsdruck schafft, der aus der Leidenschaft mehr Leiden schafft.
Und so wünsche ich Euch für diese Woche ebenfalls Momente der Besinnung auf Euch und das, was Euch wichtig ist. Auf Eure Kraft und das, was Euch antreibt. Aber auch Dankbarkeit für alles und jeden, der Euch auf Eurem Weg unterstützt hat. Und sei es auch nur das Glück zum richtigen Zeitpunkt am richtigen Ort gewesen zu sein.

After all the pomp and glamor of the last few days, this photo comes with humility and silence.
A small tree that the icy winter winds of the Bohemian Ore Mountains have transformed into a beautiful sculpture.
The visibility this morning near Cínovec was actually no more than what can be seen here (i.e. de facto close to zero). It gives this view a minimalist appearance that absolutely fascinated me and still does.
And if it hadn't been so incredibly uncomfortable that day because of the really strong icy wind, I would have liked to explore the area further. But after 15 minutes of being outside, my capacity for suffering had already been exhausted, and I was afraid that if I stayed here any longer, I would soon look like the tree.
Nach dem ganzen Prunk und Glamour der letzten Tage kommt diese Foto mit Demut und Stille daher.
Ein klein Baum, den die eisigen Winterwinde des böhmischen Erzgebirges in eine wunderschöne Skulptur verwandelt haben.
Die Sichtweite an diesem Morgen in der Nähe von Cínovec war tatsächlich nicht mehr, als man hier sehen kann (also defacto nahe Null). Sie verleiht diesem Anblick eine minimalistische Erscheinung, die mich absolut fasziniert hat und das noch immer tut.
Und wäre es an dem Tag nicht wegen dem wirklich starken eisigen Wind so unfassbar ungemütlich gewesen, hätte ich die Gegend gern noch weiter erkundet. Doch meine Leidensfähigkeit war nach 15 Minuten im Freien bereits ausgereizt, und ich hatte die Befürchtung, dass ich, wenn ich noch länger hier bleibe, bald so aussehen würde, wie der Baum,

THE ANIMAL CRUSADE
One day all the sties and burrows opened
And out came the cave-bear the mammoth the seafaring
cormorant, that poetic diving bird, the white-headed vulture
the rock-goat from the mountains, the sea unicorn
You could see by their snouts that they meant business
You could hear by their flapping wings and their burr
They had thrown off their humility, cast down their yoke
once imposed by Adam’s secretive hero
the one with the garden
They were, to cut a long story short, fed up
And the morals of the shotgun had been cast off
the flayed skin of flight had faded
The viper walked tall and the swine wore polaroid glasses
that lent him pleasant looks. The beavers
gnawed down telegraph poles and so cut off any form of communication
Predictably enough, the lion led the way black black
as black gold and gold-coloured as deep black
It was a magnificent procession, blinding to the eye
At the back the unicorn reported as missing, the dodo the passenger pigeon
as well as various viruses and the elated spermatozoids
So the holy animals
travelled the holy world
And do you know how or why?
Oh no, they just went travelling, they didn’t have a flag!
Sometimes ripped up laws out of sheer happiness
or bled a city dry
Now and then trampled on a Jesus
or struck down a prophet or a princess
They were beginning to get tired
Haste no longer necessary
The one day’s deities left the fire

“Brothers, look at the humility of God, and pour out your hearts before Him! Humble yourselves that you may be exalted by Him! Hold back nothing of yourselves for yourselves, that He who gives Himself totally to you may receive you totally!”
-Francis of Assisi, “A Letter to the Entire Order,” 28–29, in FAED, 1:118.
In all sincerity, I cannot understand why we refuse to change the gun laws in the USA. Just compare the USA to other countries how many children are killed by guns in their schools by their citizens? Should we not pass that law first before trying a 14-year-old as an adult? Something is wrong here! Gun laws have to be made for people to understand that one cannot just kill anyone for any reason! And families must bring up their children to believe in love and understanding. We need more tolerance, less hate, and to be able to discuss things civilly to find mutual solutions! I just cannot understand with the huge number of parents in this country how it is not possible to pass a sensible law to protect our PRECIOUS children. Most parents would do anything for their children, so why do they refuse to insist upon reasonable gun laws?
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
..were a symbol of humility and modesty in the Middle Ages because despite its beauty it settles on grass and holds its ground there.
sometimes I meet people who carry a stillness within them. although they are full of wisdom, they neither try to lecture you, nor do they look down on you. when you are with them, there is only peace - and yet buried in this silence lies a truth
A new edit on Tomorrow Man, hope you like it. As i'm evolving in photography and processing, defining a style, i'm leaning more towards minimalism, as well in archticture, seascapes or even street photography.
Thanks for following me!
For those who are interested:
Tomorrow man is a sculpture by Belgian artist Catherine Francois.
"Tomorrow's Man" ... trying to achieve a balance between man and nature ... placed between land and sea, watching him disappear and reappear ... having an attitude of humility towards the immense power of the infinite sea ..." - Catherine Francois.
Nel silenzio raccolto della stalla,
tra il calore del fieno e il fiato paziente degli animali,
una luce mite si posa sulla terra.
Non fa rumore, non chiede spazio: porta solo Pace agli uomini di buona volontà.
-------------------------
In the gathered silence of the stable,
among the warmth of hay and the patient breath of animals,
a gentle light settles upon the earth.
It makes no sound, asks for no space: It brings only Peace to men of good will.

But Paul is possessed of a humility, an honesty, and gentleness that serve him well in the face of what might make others vain or arrogant. I believe the source of Paul's humility and gentleness is his spirituality, which is grounded in a willingness to reflect deeply on theodicy-that is, to consider the reality of how evil is active in the world and to dare ask the painful question of how and why a good God allows the suffering of innocent people. Paul is equally willing to consider and challenging questions about the role we humans play in both causing and alleviating suffering.
-Paul Farmer, Servant to the Poor, by Jennie Weiss Block
A Prayer I wrote and pray daily...
Sweet St. Damien and St. Marianne Cope of Molokai...
Please pray for me.
I so need your prayers.
Help me to have the faith,
humility and courage to follow your path...
The true way of the Cross.
Help me not to be blinded
by the petty things of life.
Help me to raise my eyes to God,
making Christ my All.
May, I learn to love listening,
and silence while offering my service
without reward.
May, I die to self and care only about
doing the work of God
as it unfolds in my life.
Help me to do these things,
which are only displays
of the love of God
for all.
May, I take up my cross
and follow Christ
and his beautiful Saints.
-Amen
Take from me humility.

Che cos'è la tenerezza? È l'amore che si fa vicino e concreto. È un movimento che parte dal cuore e arriva agli occhi, alle orecchie, alle mani. La tenerezza è usare gli occhi per vedere l'altro, usare le orecchie per sentire l'altro. Significa usare le mani e il cuore per accarezzare l'altro, per prendersi cura di lui. Sì, la tenerezza è la strada che hanno percorso gli uomini e le donne più coraggiosi e forti. Non è debolezza la tenerezza, è fortezza.
È la strada dell'umiltà
Papa Francesco
Sentiero sopra Pieve Ligure, Liguria
The path of tenderness
What is tenderness? It is the Love that becomes close and concrete. It is a movement that starts from the heart and arrives to the eyes, to the ears, to the hands. Tenderness is to use our eyes to see the others, to use our ears to listen to the others. It means to use our hands and heart to caress the others, to care for them. Yes, tenderness is the road that have taken the bravest and strongest men and women. Tenderness is not weakness, it is strength.
. It is the road of humility.
