Cloth yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, goodness, patience and over all these virtues put on LOVE which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3:12, 14
Thank you for your humility, creativity and above all: friendship. I needed to process the news; how is it someone so positive and open can suddenly no longer be around, without having ever even hinted to it being a possibility? you have always in some scope been involved in my many mad roleplays at Mischief Managed, whether it was as an unruly teenager, or as a fellow Vampire, you were present. One of our last conversations was of you wanting us to roleplay again. I wish we had. You are so missed.
Assisi, the city of a small Great Man who has changed the way of living passing from wealth to humility giving himself to the service of nature and the needy.
Saint Francis.
Don't seek to be relevant,
or liked, seek to be undeniable.
Seek to be compassionate.
Seek integrity.
Seek humility. Seek light.
They wear their artificial beauty with humility
and know that in the world of authenticity
they are inferior in all ways but fragility.
For delicate beauty fades and wilts with time.
Humbly they wear their elements of cloth and wire,
knowing they will endure long past the garden rose’s day.

In this period of Arctic summer, I cannot help remembering my trip in Greenland 2 years ago. I plan to return there in 2023, and hope that the effect of the global warming will not be too visible.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

There is an apocryphal story of a a Danish prince, Cnut, who also sat on the British throne From 1016-1035 AD
The story is often told of his hubris to think he could turn the tide. But it is a story of his humility, proving to his admiring coutriers that he didn't control nature.
At least that is the modern version :-)
On all the faces on the icons that Nesterov created for the Volodymyr Cathedral, calmness, humility and pacification prevail. Inner life attracted the artist much more than human passions, because he was a deep believer and religion accompanied him from birth. He probably understood that extreme emotions of sadness and passion are brought to the temple by the majority of believers who are suffering. And the longer they look at the Mother of God with the Child, the calmer and more confident they should become, gradually realizing the worthlessness of a personal request before the tragedy of the Mother of God.
Богородиця з дитиною Ісусом. Фрагмент ікони іконостасу. Володимирський собор. Бічна каплиця святих великомучеників Бориса та Гліба на хорах над північною навою. Художник Михайло Нестеров.
На всіх обличчях на іконах, які Нестеров створив для Володимирського собору, панує спокій, покора і умиротворення. Життя внутрішнє приваблювало художника набагато більше, ніж пристрасті людські, адже він був глибоко віруючим і релігія супроводжувала його від народження. Напевно він розумів, що граничні емоції смутку та пристрасті приносять до храму більшість страждаючих допомоги віруючі. І чим довше вони дивляться на Богоматір з Немовлям, тим спокійнішими і впевненішими мають вони стати, поступово усвідомити нікчемність особистого прохання перед трагедією Богоматері.
В ракурсе, в позе, более характерной для жанровой сцены, пишет «Богоматерь с Младенцем» Нестеров.
«..в смысле стиля, в ней нет, конечно, Византии, а скорее - Франция» - признавался сам художник. [стр.96]

"I am humility, nothing more and nothing less. I am one blade of grass in a sea of grass. I am one wave in an endless ocean of waves. I am one glowing star in a galaxy of stars." ~ Frederick Lenz

In the image created by Nesterov, the beautiful face of the Virgin Mary is full of maternal happiness, kindness and humility.
“A mother giving birth to a baby to unheard of suffering, a mother whose heart is pierced by the sword of sadness and warmed by the bright joy of birth - she is full of Nesterov’s unearthly charm.... And the martyrs, giving their flesh to be torn to pieces, joyfully tasting the beauty of pain and torment, opening the arms of death in providence and eternal closeness to God, these are unforgettable images.” This is how Mstislav Vladimirovich Farmakovsky (1873 - 1946) - art critic, archaeologist, artist, doctor of historical sciences, professor.- speaks about this debut work of Nesterov, an icon painter.
The iconostasis of the chapel in the choir consists of a black marble base with golden veins, double columns of gray marble, connected by a Gordian knot, with white carved capitals. Above the columns are beautifully carved massive arches made of white marble with inlay in the form of a wide belt of reddish marble. Iconostasis the upper aisle, in contrast to the main iconostasis, has both northern and southern doors.
Богородиця з дитиною Ісусом. Фрагмент ікони іконостасу. Володимирський собор. Бічна каплиця Св. Ольги на хорах над південною навою. Художник Михайло Нестеров.
У образі, створеному Нестеровим, прекрасне обличчя Богородиці повне материнського щастя, доброти та покори.
«Мати, що народжує немовля на нечувані страждання, мати, серце якої пронизане мечем печалі і зігріта світлою радістю народження, - вона повна у Нестерова неземної чарівності .... І мученики, що віддають тіло на розтерзання, радісно смакують красу болю і муки, розкривають у провидінні та вічній близькості до Бога, - це образи незабутні». Так відгукується про цю дебютну роботу Нестерова - іконописця Мстислав Володимирович Фармаковський (1873 - 1946) - мистецтвознавець, археолог, художник; доктор історичних наук, професор.
Іконостас вівтаря на хорах складається з цоколя чорного мармуру із золотистими жилками, із подвійних колон із сірого мармуру, пов'язаних гордієвим вузлом, із білими різьбленими капітелями. Над колонами - чудово різані масивні арки з білого мармуру з інкрустацією у вигляді широкого пояса з червоного мармуру. Іконостас верхнього бічного вівтаря на відміну від головного іконостасу, має і північні, і південні двері.
As with profiles of people, stately buildings like the Applewood Estate can have their good side, even or especially when shrouded by Michigan's greenery, as shown here. The ample rain all summer here has kept the grass, bushes, and trees so lush green. I saw this one in my mind's eye and wanted to capture these estate peeks. Hope you like it. This is our Biltmore, with a strong dash of Mott family humility.
Nach anfänglichen Drohgebärden gab sich dieser Schwan ganz demütig und graziös gegenüber mir. Aus einer bodennahen Perspektive konnte ich ihn in dieser schönen Pose einfangen, die seine Eleganz und ruhige Ausstrahlung perfekt widerspiegelt.
After some initial threatening gestures, this swan settled into a humble and graceful demeanor before me. I was able to capture it in this beautiful pose from a low perspective, perfectly reflecting its elegance and serene presence.

Today was a much better day and I'm not nearly as sour as I was yesterday. Thank goodness! I bet everyone around me is in agreement that it's a good thing that my mood has lifted.
I don't usually get as aggitated as I was yesterday, but everything and everyone was under my skin and I just couldn't shake it.
Even as the night wore on, the mood was festering and keeping me awake. Finally it wore off and I was able to sleep for a couple hours.
Today though, I guess that bit of sleep did me good because I'm coming back to my usual self.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
