10 July 2020 - setting sun sparkles through tree cover. Rays reflect back from a mirrored building, light falling in unexpected places. Wisdom whispers:
Listen, for I am about to tell you of unparalleled excellence and beauty;
what I am about to say will set things right.
7 I will only speak the truth;
I despise evil, so it will not pass through my lips.
8 Everything I say promotes justice;
not one word is crooked, and nothing is distorted.
9 Each and every word is straight talk to perceptive people,
upright and honest to knowledge-seekers.
10 Accept my correction as being more valuable than your prized possession,
authentic knowledge more valuable than pure gold.
11 You see, no gem is more precious than Lady Wisdom—
your most extravagant desire doesn’t come close to her.
Good counsel is mine, and also true wisdom.
I am understanding, and strength belongs to me.
love those who love me;
those who search hard for me will find me.
18 Riches and honor are the benefit of following me;
so are lasting wealth and justice.
19 My reward is better than gold, even the purest gold;
and my profit is greater than the highest quality silver.
20 I follow the way of right living.
Follow me along the path to find justice;
21 I’m ready to meet those who love me, bestow true riches upon them,
and fill up their lives until their treasuries overflow.
Some proverbs do contradict themselves and are, therefore, paradoxical. An example of this is:
"Don't judge a book by its cover" and "But clothes maketh the man"
Taken for the group Macromondays. The theme this week is 'Paradox'.

Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.
This warbler spends much of its time in the understory flitting between shrubs and flashing its white outer tail feathers. It tends to stay at least partially hidden in understory vegetation, jumping up to take insects or picking them from foliage.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Who knew that this Piping Plover was not only an expert at finding beach worms but also an expert at shaming proverbs. It’s late in the evening and the sun is minutes from setting. The early bird has long since given way to the tired bird, ready to retreat to an evening’s rest. Yet, despite the proverb, it is clear that the “early bird” isn’t the only one who gets the worm! Perhaps it is better to believe that persistence is the best road to success and that being prepared and well informed helps one decide where it’s best to search for the worms! #PipingPlovers

I count him braver who overcomes his desires
than him who conquers his enemies,
for the hardest victory is over self
First wall of a new project I'm working on playing with chinese proverbes known as Cheng Yu which are a combination of 4 characters that together form a idiom.
This one is "nine cows one hair" which means small, insignificant, a useless unfightable cause ... I painted this in one of the old historical neighborhoods of shanghai that are getting bulldozed to make way for modern highrises and department stores, displacing the current population and the people that had been living there for years in order to cater to the rich.
Pages from my dad's bible, circa 1930, but that is a guess as there is no publication date.
