London, one camera ago.
'Coffee shops' were unknown to London when this beautiful place was built (once a tea parlour, perhaps?)... They call it Globalisation.

What divine drink wouldst thou have, my God, from this overflowing cup of my life?
My poet, is it thy delight to see thy creation through my eyes and to stand at the
portals of my ears silently to listen to thine own eternal harmony?
Thy world is weaving words in my mind and thy joy is adding music to them.
Thou givest thyself to me in love and then feelest thine own entire sweetness in me.
GITANJALI
The offering songs
Rabindranath Tagore
Love is the cure,
for your pain will keep giving birth to more pain
until your eyes constantly exhale love
as effortlessly as your body yields its scent.*

Hi dear friends, This is the picture I send to the crestock photo contest entitled "Speed Demon", I would like to ask for your kind support so I could be a possible winner of a Canon professional camera. Also I would like to thank my friend Ilina for the link to this contest... Check out her shot, she won the contest in the second round!
When you are feeling blue
I will watch you through,
The one you can depend
I'm your angel friend.
In your darkest hours
I will bless all flowers,
So they'll blossom for you
With love pure and true.
And if you want me to drop by
I'll be here waiting to fly
Then catapult thru the open sky
To catch you on my first try.

To honour the Ginkgo, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote the following poem:
GINKGO BILOBA
The leaf of this Eastern tree
Which has been entrusted to my garden
Offers a feast of secret significance,
For the edification of the initiate.
Is it one living thing
That has become divided within itself?
Are these two who have chosen each other,
So that we know them as one?
I think I have found the right answer
To these questions;
Do my songs not make you feel
That I am both one and twain?
(J.W. v. Goethe)
Y en Espanol:
GINKGO BILOBA
Las hojas de este árbol, que del Oriente
a mi jardin venido, lo adorna ahora,
un arcano sentido tienen, que al sabio
de reflexión le brindan materia obvia.
¿ Será este árbol extraño algún ser vivo
que un dia en dos mitades se dividiera?
¿ O dos seres que tanto se comprendieron,
que fundirse en un solo ser decidieran?
La clave de este enigma tan inquietante
Yo dentro de mi mismo creo haberla hallado:
¿ no adivinas tú mismo, por mis canciones,
que soy sencillo y doble como este árbol?
.
... serene soul .... serene song
“I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being"
"Je voudrais pouvoir vous montrer, quand vous êtes seul ou dans les ténèbres, l'étonnante lumière de votre propre être.”
--Hafiz of Persia
and nothing else matters (set)
Because some days are a time for meditation ...
PLEASE !!!! MUCH BETTER IN LIGHTBOX : LARGER and on a REALLY ALL BLACK background (unless you use,as I do, this hack which brings back to the old page)
So CLICK the 2 opposite arrows at the top right corner
(wanting this image to be seen on an absolutely black background , I didn't add a very thin white border, as I usually do . The new grey background does not fit, in my opinion because it is too dark , darker than those of the Adobe softwares , PS / LR , which are perfect )

How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.

I brought this one back from my morning walk. Today I went into the forest... I really loved the peaceful atmosphere.
Pink Water Lily with the sun shining on the stamens. I'm a bit behind, had to get away from the telly news yesterday.
The photo below shows the Small Wild Goose pagoda in the background on the right from the grounds of the Xi'an Museum.
