today at Sri Ramanasramam it is Lucy Ma day.
"Lucy Cornelssen, a German devotee came to Bhagavan Ramana
sometime in 1940s. She became the permanent resident of the
Asramam, right upto her leaving the body a few decades later."
"There is only one way to ovecome the ghost (the ego - I ) …to watch it. Do not fight, do not resist. Only try to watch it, quietly but ceaselessly. In other words, develop an unconcerned witness- consciousness towards men, things and happenings without, but particularly towards yourself within. It means to carry on the calmness of the mind gained in your meditation to cover your whole day. You will distinctly feel it as an undercurrent of peace and detachment."
here is her book "Hunting The I"
Yesterday we were invited to join the release of this tawny owl (Strix aluco), that had been in treatment at the Norwegian Wildlife Hospital since May.
It was found emaciated, with a bacterial infection and a corneal damage on its right eye.
They even gave it many new feathers since so many were worn out, by a technique called imping.
The release went very well, and I hope it has many good years left.
(Kattugle in Norwegian)

& why should he spend so much time
by himself: writing -writing what? & taking
pictures, so many, sometimes of one man, &
never of merchants or doctors, as far as I know,
but fishermen, fishermen, fishermen, fishermen,
fishermen.
To stay on earth,
to leave a mark on earth,
to keep them talking after you are gone,
is not the point.
To make the earth for people,
that is more.
To build a world
that they can wander in
with no unfenced place,
no wild desert blanks.
A filled-in world
with trees,
& beasts
& men.
This, artists make
(and must make)
for man.
This is the poem that is the poet's child.

ODC Our Daily Challenge: Letting go
silent and slow journey on a small canal with confidence in a safe driver
Sometimes all you need is just that little breeze.
Letting go is sometimes easy, and sometimes far too difficult. But it's the greatest way to start fresh. We all just need a little breeze once in a while, so we can plummet away from the past. :)
8/23/08 - I'm ready to just fall and wait for someone to help me up. Ever have that falling dream, that's not exactly a dream? You lie in bed with closed eyes and suddenly feel as if you're about to hit the ground and jump. I've never actually seen a visual while having that dream, but it feels just as real. I've been having them a lot lately and each time my skin crawls just a little more. I'm ready to wake up in fragile arms.
I don't have much free time today and so this poor excuse of a photo will have to do. :/ I wanted to look like I was falling without actually having to fall for the picture. I did trip, though!
[Explored #471!]
"We've tried so hard to understand, but we can't. We held the world out in our hands and you ran away. It takes some time to let you go and it shows. 'Cause all we know is falling, it falls. Remember, cause I know that we won't forget at all." - Paramore.
life's journeys take us places we never dreamed of going to, yet we go, reluctant or not, we go. We see, we wonder and we go away with our experiences. We sort those experiences out later, and take with us what we need. What have you picked up, what have you let go?
I post this for my friend Helen. A wonderful, caring, kind, giving and devoted mother who has lost her son to soon. I saw Mike in November, we spoke of the past, the present and the future. He shared his hopes and dreams and how much he loved his mother. He so much wanted to take care of her and be there for her as his new future was unfolding.
He was excited about his future, he was smiling and full of life. And now, Mike as you dance among the angels in heaven we let you go and say good bye. We will hold our memories of you close to our hearts, we will never forget you.
Good Bye (: ......... (

Mit diesem Bild bin ich sehr glücklich. Wir hatten die ersten schönen Frühlingstage und es war sogar ein wenig Zeit während der Woche, um mein Projekt-Bild zu machen. Endlich wieder ein Foto, das am Ende so aussieht, wie ich es zuvor im Kopf hatte! :-)
I am in the process of letting go of a friendship that I thought would last for years. Yeah, that's been pretty fun. On the bright side, it was fairly warm this weekend which I was grateful for. I am very ready for Spring to come. I want to go to new places and meet new people and do new things. I feel tied down doing the same things day after day.
Meg and I are having fun collaborating. I think I will ask her to do it once a month when February is over. She has been so busy, it is impressive she is still playing with me.
Our prompt was letting go. Meg is on the left and I am on the right.

Second to this one.
I long to run away again. So many things left unsaid. Maybe that is growing up, this learning to be quiet? Honesty was always clumsy, but at least it cleared the air.
The Tarot Garden (Giardino Dei Tarocchi) is an exploration of the human condition whose medium is mosaic on a monumental scale. These almost impossibly brightly coloured combinations of buildings and sculpture reflect the metaphysical qualities represented by the 22 main tarot cards (the major arcana). They're not concerned with the fortune-telling uses of the cards, rather the elements of life's experience, personality and self-knowledge they refer to. Work on the garden began in 1979 and the main part of the work was carried out in the 1980s; it was officially opened to the public in May 1998. During construction Niki de Saint Phalle lived in the sphinx-like Empress, a mirror-glassed cavern with kitchen, bedroom and bathroom leading off.
The Hanged Man, card no. XII, depicts a pittura infamante, an image of a man being hanged upside-down by one ankle. This method of hanging was a common punishment at the time for traitors in Italy. The Hanged Man is the card that suggests ultimate surrender, sacrifice, or being suspended in time. It reflects breaking old patterns, circumspection, letting go, metamorphosis, suspension

EXPLORE: 14! - Thank You, dear friends!!!
To let go does not mean to stop caring,
it means I can't do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off,
it's the realization I can't control another.
To let go is not to enable,
but allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means
the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try to change or blame another,
it's to make the most of myself.
To let go is not to care for,
but to care about.
To let go is not to fix,
but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge,
but to allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their destinies.
To let go is not to be protective,
it's to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny,
but to accept.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires,
but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.
To let go is not to regret the past,
but to grow and live for the future.
To let go is to fear less and love more
because: The time to love is short

Just back from the funeral service of our dear friend who passed away.
Very sad and yet elated, because we met so many other dear friends, whom we haven't seen and spoken to for many years, heard the latest and not so latest news.
Impressions of the church service:
Two large hearts of roses, a red one on the altar with rose petals strewn across the altar and a red rose lying across the bible, the other heart of white roses, beautiful wreath, interestingly made up of mostly red coloured flowers!
An church filled up to the last place with mourners, including babes and oldies, all very dignified and although sad, with a happiness in their eyes too because our friend's suffering is over but with sadness over his wife and family.
Wonderful choir, so touching.
One of the sons playing an own composition on the recorder, accompanying it with a few words about the 'birth' of it and how he played it to his father only days before he died. Imagine, being able to play at your own dad's funeral! ALL those emotions going into the instrument, the rendition and out to all of us, sitting there and listening up!
Another friend singing a farewell song, accompanied by his wife on the organ....
A touching service, comfort from listening to and marvelling over the curriculum, written by the deceased himself, only a few weeks ago - We saw him in front of us, it was SO him....
And now, it's up to us to LET HIM GO!

this is my second image of this series. I got this one as a gift from my tattoo artist when i was about to leave the US about 3 1/2 years ago and it represents me entering the unknown. I really had no idea where i was going, I just wanted a change and i wanted to see the world so I gave away all of my things and basically just picked up and left- i thought i was going to be a war photographer and I had plans to go to Iraq, I was in search of an understanding and I didn't believe anything the media had to say so I wanted to see for myself and i thought that the only way for me to understand would be for me to put myself in the most chaotic environment. I definately did not think I would be in london as I am now and doing a series of self portraits!!! Not only did this tattoo represent me leaving everything i knew behind and stepping into something so unknown, it also represented question your truth which was the name of our site back then and our logo at the time was a question mark:-) www.theopenmind.org
Day 107 - April 17, 2010
Met up with a good friend for dinner a couple of nights back and had this discussion about baggage. You know, the kind that comes along with big mistakes or traumatic experiences, and that which you lug throughout the course of your life.
The problem with that kind of baggage is that it eventually gets too heavy that it affects the way we live. So much so that instead of really living our life, it becomes one of mere subsistence.
The good news is that we all can start over with a clean slate, like a new page on a notebook. It all starts with letting go.
Based upon letting go the ones you love and recovering from it (the bandaids were suppose to look more and more faded as you go but hey this works for me).
Happy Valentine's Day flickr friends. :)
I’m letting go
Of the life I planned for me
And my dreams
Losing control
Of my destiny
Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe
So I’m letting go
~ Francesca Battistelli
Today I went for a walk in our "Little Forest"
My shoes are too small and now my feet hurt.
The lens hood for my camera broke.
I think it was worth it.

You NEED to look at this big! I'm not cool enough (as in I don't have Flickr Pro) to have a link for it, but just click on View as Slideshow on the right side... That works... It looks A LOT better in big...
I feel like letting go
there would be so many good reasons,
Not even you could blame me.
But I know
We don't really have a choice, do we?
Giving up is a luxury we can't afford
So we'll keep on going
straight towards nowhere
I spent most of one afternoon walking quite happily through the fog. Things faded in and out. I couldn't see very far ahead. Everything behind me disappeared in the mist.
My meandering path led me to a high point. At the end of the day, I suddenly found myself above the fog...and alone with an astonishing view.
Sometimes, when things
break, life begins. - Mark Nepo

The autumn shows us in its own unique way how letting go is part of the natural cycle of life. This single, brightly orange leaf, captured in the last warm light of the day, tells the story of summer's gentle handover to winter. Surrounded by still-green foliage and delicate branches, it feels like a symbol of the peaceful transition that nature undergoes every year. For me, it was a moment full of tranquility and beauty – almost like a silent meditation in the middle of the forest. A thank you to nature!
Der Herbst zeigt uns auf seine ganz eigene Weise, wie das Loslassen zum natürlichen Kreislauf des Lebens gehört. Dieses einzelne, leuchtend orangefarbene Blatt, eingefangen im letzten warmen Licht des Tages, erzählt von der sanften Übergabe des Sommers an den Winter. Umgeben von noch grünem Laub und zarten Ästen, wirkt es wie ein Symbol für den friedlichen Übergang, den die Natur jedes Jahr vollzieht. Für mich ein Moment voller Ruhe und Schönheit – fast wie eine stille Meditation inmitten des Waldes. Ein Danke an die Natur!

I have had some trouble balancing my time lately and it's been pretty stressful. Taking pictures today felt like such a relief though. Sometimes I just want to drop out of regular college and just go to art school and be surrounded by creative people and do creative things. *Sigh*
This is the Hour of Lead –
Remembered, if outlived,
As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow –
First – Chill – then Stupor – then the letting go –

Dear Dad,
You seem to always point the fingers at someone else when really the fingers should be pointed at you. You are to blame; you are at fault. I blame you for letting your kids just become phone calls that you had to make before you could cross them off of your “Things To Do Today” list. I blame you and I haven’t forgiven you. I’m not too sure when I will forgive you or if I will at all. And I’m sure that you’ve probably forgiven yourself. And I’m not too sure how you could. Because when I look at you I see a stranger. And I don’t know how you can forgive yourself for letting yourself become a stranger in your daughter’s eyes.
For nine long years, I have put up with the hurtful words, the broken promises, the lack of caring and the fact that you were never really there for me, ever. I know you have already moved on from me and this family you left behind. I know you’re off living a new life; you have already let go of me. So today is the day I finally let go of you.
Sincerely,
Makayla
This picture means a lot to me. The balloon isn't photoshopped, I refused to photoshop more than the normal curves. I wanted every part of this picture to be as real as possible. It was well worth the 2 1/2 hours to get this.

These facts are just going to be about my photography and my Flickr account.
1. Ever since getting Explored, I have noticed that my "popularity" has gone down and my pictures have been viewed/commented less and less. It was bothering me at first but I realized today that my photography is for me. It's about whether I like it or not. If you guys do, you know I love all your support. This is my journey, but it would mean a lot to me if you guys came along for the ride.
2. All my sets go from newest first, oldest last except my 365, phobias, when I was younger, and literally set. I wouldn't recommend doing that. It's a pain in the butt.
3. I try to comment back on pictures if you comment one of mine. If I don't, it's probably because I didn't get around to it or I didn't even know you commented one of mine.
4. I love Flickr mail :)
5. I finished commenting every one of my contacts. But I'll be keeping up with everyone's streams, so don't worry. It wasn't a one time thing.
6. If you add me as a contact, I'll add you back if I like your stream. That reminds me, I have to add back some of you guys.
7. When I comment on someone's photo, I almost always put "<3" or some kind of smiley. I like smileys. Sorry if that annoys you.
8. Like I said in my video, I'm going to be putting a good portion of my stream set to Friends Only so if you want to be added as a friend, please tell me. Thank you!
9. I wish I could shoot with some of you guys :/
10. I hate when people copy my ideas and not give me credit for my version of it.
11. I obviously speak English but I know a good amount of Spanish too. So those of you that are Spanish, feel free to comment in español :)
12. I want to say thank you especially to the people that keep up with my stream daily. I really appreciate it.
Tag, you're it :)
I randomly tagged people. No reason behind it this time.
Going through old photos and remembering happier times...
G'night everyone.
Made Flickrs interestingness pages for March 17th 07'
Staring at the bottom of your glass,
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last.
But dreams come slow and they go so fast...
You see her when you close your eyes,
Maybe one day you'll understand why,
Everything you touch surely dies...
Well you see her when you fall asleep,
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much but dived too deep...
You you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow,
Only know, you love her- you’ve to let her go…

Gulshan, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Throughout our lifetime we collect, and collect and collect. Every year we live we cycle through more and more stuff. I started thinking if you took all those things from birth till death and threw all those material possessions into a huge pile well... it leaves me with a feeling of disgust.
We can and should do with less. Because in the end, when we die...
This is one of my very closest friends in this picture. The girl that grew up right next door to me as a child. She's known me in my darkest moments and seen me through my most joyous occasions. This photo - we worked together to answer the curious questions in her mind... how do you do that?
HSS!
I used to feel the emptiness inside me
I was not supposed to feel that way
I had everything I needed
But nothing ever made me
What I longed to be
The wealth, the name
The lights, the fame
Were everything to me
And then one night
Out of the blue
I heard His name (Jesus)
And so I took that step of faith
And walked into His domain
I believe that's what He wants
Every heart to do
When hard may seem the task
One step is all He asks of you
Letting go to know the truth
Is not so hard to do
It's the heart that's got the will
To open up for Him to fill
And trusting and believing Him
Is all we've got to do
It's just the heart that's got to move
For Him to show His love that's been there
Even when we never cared
Take hold of His hand
Let go and you'll understand
Why be afraid
For God knows what you're feeling
But even He can't do a thing
If He sees the heart's not willing
And so we ask what's going on
We want what's right and still do wrong
When hard may seem the task
One step is all He asks of you
I guess by now you'd realize
You can't be on your own
And all your cares
And all your burdens
Should be cast upon His throne
Letting go, just let go, letting go
Let go and you'll understand
Just let go and you'll understand
(Letting Go by Gary Valenciano)
“some people come into our lives and quickly go.
some move our souls to dance.
they awaken us to new understanding
with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
they stay in our lives for awhile,
leave footprints in our hearts
and we are never, ever the same.”
