Fabacée de 10-40 cm à tiges herbacées grêles, rampantes ou ascendantes, épineuses, parfois grimpantes. Feuilles alternes, composées et bipennées, normalement persistantes. Long pétiole de 2-6 cm portant à l'extrémité 2 paires de pennes (parfois une seule) très rapprochées, chacune comportant 15-25 folioles de 6-10 mm. Très irritables, celles-ci ont la particularité de se replier au moindre choc (thigmonastie).
Il s'agit d'un mouvement spectaculaire du règne végétal, dû à de petits renflements à la base des feuilles et des folioles, appelés pulvinus, composés de cellules "motrices" spécialisées et gonflés d'eau. Au moindre attouchement, cette eau est évacuée dans les tissus avoisinants. La rétraction des feuilles touchées commence dans le dixième de seconde après le contact et se déroule en deux temps selon l'importance du contact. Tout d'abord, les folioles touchés se replient et disparaissent à la vue en environ 3-4 secondes. Un choc plus fort induit le repli des feuilles voisines et s'il est plus fort encore le mouvement de repli atteint toutes les feuilles d'un même côté, puis est suivi du repli des feuilles du côté opposé de la plante. Il y a donc deux transmissions distinctes : la première rétractation des folioles qui se propage à environ 2 m/minute, et dans un deuxième temps la rétractation des feuilles, quatre fois plus lente, atteignant toute la plante. Le tout est en trois mouvements : les folioles, les feuilles, puis toute la plante, puis le calme revenu, les feuilles reprennent leur port.
Inflorescence axillaire ou terminale, formée de 1-4 glomérules de couleur rose à pourpre, de 1 à 1,5 cm, portés par un pédoncule de 12-25 mm de long, chaque glomérule étant composé de nombreuses fleurs. Calice minuscule, corolle de 4 pétales soudés et campanulée, de 2 à 3 mm, avec 4 étamines roses à anthères blanches de 7-8 mm formant l'androcée et au milieu le style blanc filiforme. Gousse frangée, plate et composée de 3-4 articles, 1-1,5 cm, à marge armée de longs poils raides, chaque article contenant 1 graine lisse de forme ovale à orbiculaire, de couleur brune.
Autres noms français : Herbe mamzelle, Honteuse femelle, Manzelle Marie, Marie-honte, Mimosa pudique, Trompe la mort. Espèce originaire du Brésil, maintenant distribuée de façon pantropicale, largement naturalisée à travers le monde (cf. A Bärtels, mi-aime-a-ou.com).
Here is my second shot of a flower in about 7 years, just to prove I think about these things and have a sensitive side. So I have written a poem to go with this image.....ahem:
Oh flower reaching for the skies,
Each day you attract the bees and flies,
You open close open close open close,
Like shops or blinking eyes,
Yet knowing that all that lives also dies.
Let me pluck you from your mud,
Drench you with a flood,
Of water from the tap,
With my camera SNAP SNAP SNAP.
Now you have immortality,
Amidst the web's virtual reality,
No cause to moan or to bicker,
Rest in peace forever....on Flickr.

Farming on Flamborough head has been dominant for centuries, rich boulder clay, and underlying geology, makes the area both productive and easy to work. Sensitive farming techniques are helping declining farmland birds such as corn buntings, yellowhammer and lapwing, and providing vital habitats for other animals like dragonflies, bats and butterflies.

just thinking about sensitvity and how words and actions affect others. sometimes i just wonder if it is me, and i am too sensitive, or if others are insensitive.
this was taken late last night after work when the rain had just started.
this is my picture for february 25, 2011
After I get a 300mm lens for my Canon, I'll be able to do these extremely well. The Nikon point and shoot gets noisy at iso 400 and is horrible at 800, so it doesn't have the sensitivity to do these right.
My Canon is more than sufficiently sensitive to take shots like this at higher shutter speeds because at high iso the noise is low and the quality is amazing.
The only problem right now is that I don't have a lens that can get in close enough, so I have to use the Nikon.
What is the Mother flame? The Mother flame (Kundalini) has been described as coiled energy, white fire or light located at the base-of-the-spine chakra. This white light has to be awakened and raised through each of the chakras. Chakras are spiritual centers of light and energy located along the spinal column that are "gateways" to the "spiritual self."
Raising the Mother flame brings healing and as we heal, we magnetize the light of the Father and experience the divine interchange of energy that occurs between the Father (masculine polarity) and the Mother (feminine polarity). We start to integrate the two polarities.”Energy always follows consciousness…" Because of the purifying action of the Mother flame, care has to be taken in how it is raised. The safest way is through prayer and devotion. The goal is to reunite the light of the Mother with the light of the Father in the heart chakra. When this happens, we give birth to the Christ consciousness. The Divine Mother is our great teacher and guru. As the Mother flame rises, we begin to see the things we need to do and work on. Memories will surface and some will be painful. Healing our psychology is a fundamental step on the spiritual path and it is important to take hold of the hand of the Mother during this time as she gives us the inner guidance and strength to press onward. The blessings we receive from the Mother are endless. One of her primary attributes is to awaken us. As the Mother light rises, our consciousness begins to undergo a profound change. We become illumined. The wisdom of the Mother teaches us better ways of doing things. She helps us to fine-tune our communication skills and to improve our interactions with people. She teaches us to build healthy relationships and to open our eyes to see the needs of others. From her we learn to be more responsible and efficient. She brings harmony and order. All of this is the result of the Mother's energy flowing through us.
What is the ascension? Simply put, the ascension is a spiritual ritual whereby we "victoriously" return to God after passing our spiritual tests and meeting certain requirements. Author Annice Booth says:
Through the flame of the ascension, we become one with our own Higher Self and then with God the Father, our own I AM Presence… The ascended masters say we "ascend daily" and every good work, deed and thought aligns us closer to our Higher Self. Raising the Mother flame must be accompanied by spiritual devotion. If this is not done, the rising flame will activate all kinds of inordinate desires instead of the God qualities and virtues we are seeking.
The Mother flame and the ascension flame are one and the same. The ascension flame is the consciousness of the Mother and the Mother is the white light of the ascension flame. As we raise the Mother flame we begin to weave our spiritual garment of light called the seamless garment. Our seamless garment is woven by our thoughts and feelings and the threads represent our,consciousness. We have to replace our old garment with a new one. If we are prone towards being selfish, then we have to start giving to others. If we are filled with self-hate, then we must replace this with self-love. As we pass our initiations and start to heal we begin to add virtues to our garment of light. Sages and saints are often described as having one or more special virtues. Perhaps it is grace, honor or integrity. Some are called truth bearers and others are praised for being noble and just. Virtues are one of the gifts that come from the Mother. As we weave them into our seamless garment we can truthfully say we are walking the path of Beauty, the path of the Divine Mother and the ascension.
Whether male or female, we each have a masculine and feminine side. Everything in the spiritual and material world dances in a rhythmic flow of male and female energy. The Chinese call this yin (feminine) and yang (masculine). Wholeness requires the balancing of our masculine and feminine sides. The Mother shows us the way to do this. Our feminine side is nurturing, creative, intuitive, sensitive, comforting, caring and patient. She is the healer as well as the teacher. Our masculine side is associated more so with the "law" and as being analytical. He is power, strength, protection and discipline. When we are out of balance we feel chaotic and lack harmony. We are out of sync with the universe and our energy is scattered. We become uncaring and insensitive, abusive, aggressive or passive, indecisive and weak-willed. We become spiritually bankrupt. The Mother (Teacher-Guru) provides the nurturing, guidance and wisdom we need to successfully balance our polarities. One of the ways she does this is by explaining the laws of Father. Sometimes she is required to become the disciplinarian dispensing the discipline that is necessary for balancing to occur. Her overall desire is to liberate and restore us to wholeness. The soul of both man and woman is feminine and Spirit is the masculine side. We have to raise the feminine ray to magnetize the masculine. Until we do this, we will not manifest the fullness of our wholeness.
When we are in deep prayer and communion with God we enter into our inner altar and our "heart of hearts." This sacred place is called the secret chamber of the heart. Mystics speak of seeing a blazing flame, a divine spark within the secret chamber. This spark is also called the threefold flame or the Holy Christ flame and represents the sacred Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It has three rays or plumes coming forth from it. The blue ray represents the Father (Power), the yellow ray represents the Son (Wisdom), and the pink ray represents the Holy Spirit (Love). There is a white sphere of the Trinity located at the base of the threefold flame that is a "veritable fount of the Mother Flame." The Ascended Masters have taught us to be sensitive to these plumes and to take notice when one or more are out of balance. Are you throwing your power around? Then the blue plume is out of alignment. If you are not exercising your God given wisdom to the fullest, then the yellow plume needs improvement and if you feel hardness of heart or are unable to give love then it is the pink plume that needs healing. Ideally, all three plumes should be equal in height. A balanced threefold flame is one of the requirements for the ascension.
The Aquarian Age is also the age of the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit "conveys the essence of God" throughout our being. This is done through the seven rays. Many of the world religions talk about the seven levels of being or the seven heavens that connect us to the spiritual world. The seven rays come forth from the white light of the Holy Spirit. Each ray contains an aspect of the Christ consciousness and certain healing qualities. Most of us have heard about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Basically these are: the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, healing, working of miracles, prophecy, discernment of spirits, diverse kinds of tongues and interpretation of tongues. The Holy Spirit is very mystical and the action of the Holy Spirit manifests in a variety of ways. Mystics say our prayers and thoughts flow in the Holy Spirit. The dove is one of the more well known symbols used to represent the Holy Spirit. The flame of the Holy Spirit is a joyous flame, the soundless sound. It is the music of the spheres, the gentle rain, the foam that moves with the crest of the wave and mingles with the sand. The flame of the Holy Spirit is the fresh, cool air that comes from the mountains at eventide. The flame of the Holy Spirit is the love that burns within your heart when you meet a kindred soul along life's way and when you see the beauty of a child or a devotee kneeling in prayer. It is flame of Christ-illumination that fires the mind – that sparks creative thought and gives will to the imagination. The Holy Spirit is the presence of the Father adorned by the love of the Mother nourishing Life in the newborn child. Known also as the Holy Ghost, Holy Comforter or Heavenly Comforter, the Holy Spirit can be gentle or mighty depending on the occasion and to encounter the Holy Spirit is not only purifying but also a spiritually transforming experience. According to the Ascended Masters, when we unlock the energy of the Mother it opens the door for the Holy Spirit to release the flow of light through us. The Mother helps us to pass our initiations and teaches us not only how to cultivate the gifts of the Holy Spirit but also how to be a just steward of these gifts.
Mystics and seers have always known about the violet flame. The violet flame is the seventh-ray aspect of the Holy Spirit and contains the God qualities of mercy, forgiveness and compassion. It is called the flame of transmutation and freedom as it can transmute the cause, effect, record and memory of negative karma. Karma is energy-consciousness. It is every action, thought, feeling, word, and deed. It is the "law of cause and effect" or the "law of the circle." Whatever we say or do comes full circle. We've all heard the expression, "You reap what you sow." This is karma. Everything we send out into the universe returns back to us. Karma can be good or bad. The Mother teaches us to transmute and balance our karma so that we can return back to Spirit. We are entering into a new Age, the Aquarian Age. Ages,last,approximately 2,150 years and each new cycle begins under one of the seven rays of the Holy Spirit. Each age has a sponsor. Saint Germain is the Chohan (Lord) of the Seventh Ray. He, along with his twin flame Portia (Goddess of Justice), are the hierarchs for the age of Aquarius. Portia is also known as the Mother of Aquarius. On May 1, 1954, Saint Germain and Portia were crowned as directors for the coming cycle of the seventh ray. Freedom and justice are the yin and the yang of the seventh ray of Aquarius, and together with mercy, they provide the foundation for all other attributes of God to be outpictured in this seventh dispensation. Saint Germain, whose name means "holy brother" is the seventh angel prophesied in the Book of Revelation. His gift to the earth and to all mankind is the spiritual fire of the violet flame. The violet flame is called the flame of freedom because of its alchemical ability to transmute karma. As the Chohan of the Seventh Ray, Saint Germain focuses the flame of freedom to the earth. The violet flame is the flame of the Aquarian Age.

We can invoke the violet flame through prayer and mantra. One very simple mantra taught by the Summit Lighthouse † is:
I AM a being a violet fire!
I AM the purity God desires!
The healing benefits that come from giving the violet flame are as vast as the stars in the cosmos. The violet flame can melt hardness of heart, balance old karma and free us from the baggage we've carried around not only in this lifetime but also from past lifetimes. It can transmute negative thoughts and painful memories as well as heal old hurts and wounds.
The transforming power of the Mother will be more effective if we use it in conjunction with the violet flame. It is recommended that we give at least fifteen minutes of the violet flame each day.

My beautiful old lady. I met her at a busy day on the old market. She wore a tie, a grey raincoat, big round glasses and a round hat. And she was sensitive and shy like a little girl.
She moved with small steps from the one bench to the other and her look was full of curiosity. A feminist she was and an intellectual. Now, she keeps on moving on the streets, admiring small moments and discussing with small traders about the weather and the fruits and the vegetables she wishes to taste. All is interesting. All is new to her. All her life everything was new to her.
Did I scare her? I wouldn’t know. But then she didn’t say anything to me. She just saw me and froze. Was it because of fear? I believe it was because of shyness. Her hands reached one another, her eyes questioned me. She felt insecure. This kind lady just seemed new in this old world. For her qualities do not fit those of many.
My beautiful old lady with her round glasses and the round hat.
I can see her now young and beautiful, different from all the rest of the girls. Dressed like a boy. True to her emotions and thoughts. True to her first love. Didn’t compromise, she stayed strong and faithful to herself. Because, after all, she was a shy and sensitive girl.
And that is what kept her young in all these long years. Her young soul is evident to all. In her old face, there is something young and new. All is visible now for everyone to see. A strong soul, no evil left its scars in there.
