During His visit to Peru, Paramahamsa Vishwananda showered His blessings upon everyone. He gave two darshans and met indigenous community leaders who have preserved their traditions for thousands of years. Guruji was warmly welcomed as He traveled across the country, visiting the sacred Lake Titicaca, the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu, Cusco, Lima, and many more significant places.
The breathtaking beauty of Peru, the deep devotion of its people, their humility, and their spirit of service made this journey truly special—one that will always remain in our hearts.

This sculpture resides in the shell of a church bombed during World War 2. The bell tower and outer walls remain to serve as a memorial to the victims of war and violence.
(a tribute to James Taylor)
I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again
I’m listening to Sweet Baby James while editing for some abstracts, and a couple of the random shots in my collection taken for this purpose made me recall his concerts I’ve seen.
I met him once, at a concert at Washington State University, and he’s as nice a man as are his songs. He cared not what anyone’s station was in life, he would engage them in conversation with intense interest, and as his equal. I briefly spoke with him years later in Spokane, Washington, and he remembered me. (I’m about as much a nobody as one can be)
Just an odd little man, filled with gentility and humility. He has always had the ability to touch hearts with some kind of unconditional authority.
I can’t hear one of his songs without harkening back to some point in my life, and he’s still performing and recording glimpses into my future. If anyone hasn’t heard his album “October Road”, his fifteenth album released in 2002, it’s worth a listen, and every bit as great as the first songs he ever recorded.
He’s definitely someone I hope to see just ‘one more time again’.

Representations of the Madonna of Humility seated in a flowery context became quite popular in Europe in the fourteenth century as a private, meditational counter-image to the formal representations of the Enthroned Madonna, expressing one of her own attributes and alluding to the enclosed garden of her virginity. Few biographical details are known about this Sienese Master from whom we identify thirteen autograph panels of this Madonna of Humility. The Child clutches a goldfinch, an allusion to His Passion (goldfinches eat thorns). The rooster on the virginal robe suggests the Resurrection. These poignant references to His Death change the tenor of the painting from one of familial intimacy to that of pietistic reverence and reflection. The work maintains the lyrical and tender depiction of human relationships characteristic of the Sienese school, and the figure of the Virgin appears as an elegant silhouette, its treatment of surfaces more decorative than in Florentine painting.

Humility: Modest behavior, selflessness, and the giving of respect. A spirit of self-examination and charity toward people you disagree with. The courage of the heart necessary to undertake tasks which are difficult, tedious, or unglamorous, and to graciously accept the sacrifices involved. Reverence for those who have wisdom and those who selflessly teach in Love. Giving credit where credit is due: not unfairly glorifying one’s own self. Being faithful to promises. Refraining from despair and the ability to confront fear and uncertainty, or intimidation.

Lippo di Dalmasio
Tempera on canvas
Like Donatello, the Bolognese painter Lippo responded to the graceful charm of 14th-century Sienese painting. The Virgin is shown as the 'Madonna of Humility', so-called because she is seated on the ground with the Christ Child on her lap. She tenderly embraces her child set against the sun, which gives the scene the appearance of a golden tondo.*
From the exhibition
Donatello: Sculpting the Renaissance
(11 February - 11 June 2023)
This first major UK exhibition to explore the exceptional talents of the Renaissance master Donatello, arguably the greatest sculptor of all time, presented a fresh vision of the artist and his influence on subsequent generations.
Donatello (about 1386 – 1466) is arguably the greatest Italian Renaissance sculptor. He revolutionised sculpture both through his inventive treatment of imagery, and his mastery of an extraordinary range of materials – including marble and stone, bronze, wood, terracotta and stucco as well as unusual mixed media. He rarely repeated himself, striving for innovation and never quenching his thirst for experimentation.
Born in Florence around 1386, Donatello is one of the most inventive and influential artists of the Renaissance. Throughout a career lasting over 60 years, his extraordinary sculpture was at the heart of the revolution in art and culture taking place in 15th-century Italy.
Always at the cutting edge, Donatello combined the growing interest in ancient Greece and Rome with familiar traditions. He used a wide variety of materials and techniques, creating innovative sculptures to adorn public and private settings. Through exceptional ingenuity and emotional insight, he captured the essence of the human experience in sculptural form and paved the way for sculptors and painters alike.
This exhibition explores Donatello's creativity and unique vision, his workshop practices and collaborations, and his enduring impact on artists across the centuries.

Humility is essential in most things, but in birding and photography it seems especially important. There I was, picking my way around the southern end of the pond at Bruce Pit, looking to get to the east side to shoot with the sun at my back. I was getting closer, but then an odd little sparrow began darting among the reeds. I was trying to use it as a test for my light readings, and so I too a couple of pictures. It was later int he afternoon, at home, that I realized I had been so intent on shooting the sparrow, and so concerned about the exposure, that I missed (being aware of) an interesting bird that had not bolted as I crashed through the reeds.

This was a tribute to the bond between man and animals. This beautiful plaque was given to the ASPCA circa 1953 and hung on their Manhattan quarters until 1992. The plaque was later hung at the Greenwood Cemetery below the grave of Henry Bergh, founder and first president of the ASPCA in his honor and in celebration of the 140 anniversary of founding the organization.
