I really wasn't sure what to call this (which is the back of a strutting peacock, in case you couldn't figure this out).
Humility?
Getting caught with your skirt up?
Nice moon?
Having humility and appreciation for my daily possessions, as with myself. and others Accepting all things, all people, all parts of myself as worthy of attention. We are all one on planet Earth, and need to appreciate the importance of our interconnectedness.

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.
The early 15c south door "humility" entrance, believed to probably be the finest carved door in the county. It has Tudor roses, crockets and rich canopies. The Knowles shield is set between the emblems of St Luke and St John.
Detail: One of the Four Doctors of the Church (Gregory, Jerome, Ambrose, & Augustine).
The South door is perpendicular and is probably the finest carved door in the county and one of the best in the whole country. It has tudor roses, crockets and rich canopies. The wicket is traceried and has signs of St Luke and St John. There are niches running from the sill of the door with mutilated figures of Saints and the Four Doctors of the Church (Gregory, Jerome, Ambrose, & Augustine). There is a lion at the bottom of the door and a stag at the East side.

This memorial marker is not far from my home. It's one of many throughout the area. I live in Illinois, the land of Lincoln. Despite the egomaniacal ravings of our current governor the state and its people for the most part are a fairly humble bunch. One of those residents, our new President certainly is an example of humility so far.
Lincoln is a study in humility and has been a very real example of its implementation in public life since his death. Each of these monuments remind me as I drive past them that intelligent humility is possible in a world inclined toward greed and self-promotion.
I hear a message from Obama and it's this: The torch of thoughtful humility has been reignited. I hear a question too: Who will help carry it?

The Entry of Humility, the entrance to the Church of the Nativity. The door was reduced to its present small size (which requires adults to stoop upon entering) in the Ottoman period, to prevent horses and carts being driven through for the purposes of looting. As the name indicates, many believe this to be appropriate to the sacred site, as no one can enter it standing tall.
When you are older you will know that life is a long lesson in humility. - J. M. Barrie

I need to let God talk more often. I interrupt constantly, because I get the idea I'm better. Which is exactly why this counteracts pride.
I want to edit this later, when I get home and get Adobe. So never fear.
With humility, praying is something I do everyday, be it the short version or the long version. :) So trust that when I say to you, I'll offer you a prayer, I really do!
I stand before this new, crazy perennial and watch the butterflies dive and dart and swoop and land and feed on this crazy plant they obviously love (it smells so sweet), and I marvel, and wonder, at their silent beauty.
'Nuff. Said.
