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.

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.)

...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."

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. One small word with a big meaning. I guess all the things I must learn summarizes to this, does it?
