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.*
*Rumi
Originally I only wanted to take some portraits of the wonderful purple
wisteria flowers......when I discovered its leaves through my macrolens!
They are so soft 'n hairy!

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?
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.

... 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.
The photo below shows the Small Wild Goose pagoda in the background on the right from the grounds of the Xi'an Museum.
Pink Water Lily with the sun shining on the stamens. I'm a bit behind, had to get away from the telly news yesterday.

It's still winter... yet the sun is out with spring like temperatures. The bees were fuzzing around these little wild dancers... unfortunately I didn't manage to get them on this

Brevity is the soul of wit!
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
La brièveté est l'âme de la sagesse!
La brevità è l'anima della saggezza!
La brevedad es el alma de la sabiduría!
Die Kürze ist die Seele der Weisheit!
краткость - душа остроумия
短暂是智慧的灵魂
A concisão é a alma da sabedoria!
Stručnost je duší důvtipu!
Korthed er åndfuldhedens sjæl!
Beknoptheid is de ziel van de wijsheid!
Tarkuse hingeks on lühidus!
Lyhyys on viisauden sielu!
η συντομία είναι η ψυχή του πνεύματος
A bölcsesség lelke a tömörség!
Korthet er viddets sjel!
Zwięzłość jest duszą mądrości!
A brevidade é a alma da sabedoria!
I begränsningen visar sig mästaren!
Kısalık esprinin özüdür!
стислість – серце мудрості

FREE
Free like the river
Flowin' freely through infinity
Free to be sure of
What I am and who I need not be
Free from all worries
Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind
Freer than the clock's hands
Tickin' way the times
Freer than the meaning of free that man defines
Life running through me
Till I feel my father God has called
Me having nothin'
But possessing riches more than all
And I'm free
To be nowhere
But in every place I need to be
Freer than a sunbeam
Shinning through my soul
Free from feelin' heat or knowing bitter cold
Free from conceiving the beginning
For that's the infinite start
I'm gone - gone but still living
Life goes on without a beating heart
Free like a vision
That the mind of only you can see
Freer than a raindrop
Falling from the sky
Freer than a smile in a baby's sleepin' eyes
I'm free like a river
Flowin' freely to infinity
I'm free to be sure of what
I am and who I need not be
I'm much freer - like the meaning of the word free that
crazy man defines
Free - free like the vision that
The mind of only you are ever gonna see
Free like the river my life
Goes on and on through infinity*
*Stevie Wonder
