In bonsai, Nature is bent to our will. That is tension; how is it peace? Peace has never been a state of zero tension, which is death.
If we do not bend our selfish natures to our own informed will -- conscience -- there can be no such thing as peace.
It seems ironic, paradoxical, that one must impose limits to achieve the zenith in imagination, creativity, productivity. With too few limits or none at all there can be no focus, only a confused mess. But if you bend anything too far, it will break.
Balance.
Humility. Individuality. Creativity. Artistry.
Life.

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.
Humility isn't thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less.

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.

This is one of my all time favorite "self portraits"
I took this a few years ago, part of a self portrait project in a BW creative photography class at FCCJ.
After hand developing and printing this in BW, with blue toner, I scanned it and solarized it on the computer for this final look.
When I first developed this picture.. I imagined that this was how God might see me..... eyes down... humbled before him.
The color and chaos and unkept look were intentional... and the red does have symbolism too....
Bishop Parkes celebrated the Holy Thursday at the Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle. This is the end of our Lenten journey and the start of the Triduum. At this Mass, we recall when Jesus gathered with his disciples, and instituted the Sacrament of Holy Communion and the priesthood. By washing the feet of his disciples, he demonstrated love, service, humility. In the Sacred Triduum, the Church celebrates the greatest mysteries of our redemption, keeping by means of special celebrations the memorial of her Lord, crucified, buried and risen.
