This is my first try of a portrait. I found this wonderful face on the streets in Paris. I also found out his sad look was just a look of an old wise guy. He was happy to be photographed, and I have many photos of him looking at me.
Later on I will post more about him.
Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.
Hermann Hesse
Bäume sind Heiligtümer. Wer mit ihnen zu sprechen, wer ihnen zuzuhören weiss, der erfährt die Wahrheit. Sie predigen nicht Lehren und Rezepte, sie predigen, um das einzelne unbekümmert, das Urgesetz des Lebens.
Hermann Hesse

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats

'I believe that we look for people who wear our secrets'.
If this is true (and I'm convinced it's not), the world and life in general would practically be sorted. We wouldn't be engaging ourselves in the pointless exercise of emotions and feelings, and trying to work out what they mean and if they mean anything of any actual worth, because nothing would ever need to be expressed if we saw our secrets in others; a telepathic empathy in the constructs of a utopian society (which, by the way, doesn't exist).
Merry Christmas.

This photo is one of mine that got accepted into New Pennies again this year! New Pennies is my schools Literary Magazine. The photo got accepted and I had done it a few years ago, but seeing as it got in I re-edited it. So here it is!
Here's the original.
Wisdom is supreme; therefore make a full effort to get wisdom.
Esteem her and she will exalt you; embrace her and she will honor you.
- Proverbs 4:7-8

Thanks for your comments/fav'.
Much appreciated.
Have a great weekend.
This was taken after a rain front went through. The wisdom of the visitor in Ticino " Der Regen in Tessin ist wärmer"

Let the wise man not boast of his wisdom, but rather of knowing the Lord.
This is what we should pass on to our children.
🇪🇸
No se gloríe el sabio de su sabiduría, sino gloríese de conocer al Señor.
Eso es lo que deberías transmitir a los niños.
🇩🇪
Der Weise rühme sich nicht seiner Weisheit, sondern er rühme sich den Herrn zu kennen.
Das ist es was man den Kindern weiter geben soll.

The rose bush is a small shrub with thorny stalks and dark green leaves and soft velvety blooms. Pink roses are the roses used to make essential oils.
*For me... a dying Rose represents...Always holding in my heart - in the memory of those who have died and gone before us*
The essential oil rose is sought after for its aphrodisiac, and as a tonic for the heart and for its uplifting mental characteristics. The rose can be found worldwide, but in France, Morocco, Bulgaria, China and India it is mostly grown to produce its essential oil. The rose essential oil is extracted by steam distillation from fresh petals. It is used for its antidepressant, antiseptic, antiviral, laxative and tonic properties. Rose oil has a rich flowery aroma, and it is often blended with other essential oil such as bergamot, geranium, lavender and Roman chamomile when used in aromatherapy mixtures.
Roses have been a romantic symbol throughout history. It is the flower of love and marriage. It has been said that Cleopatra wore rose oil when she first met Mark Anthony to capture his love. The Romans used roses at weddings and funerals, and they scattered rose petals at banquets to prevent drunkenness. Persian Warriors are said to have adorned their shields with red roses. The rose was the symbol of many armies in medieval times. The rose has also long been used as part of mediation rituals for the monks.
In today’s aromatherapy it is often used for the skin, rose essential oil is good for all skin conditions, especially mature or sensitive skins. Roses play a psychological role; it has a calming effect for grief, resentment, anger and depression. Rose essential oil has a sedative effect, which aids in times of shock and bereavement. It is used to ease nervous tension and stress, and lifts the heart.
Also - Alex ~ Fuji and I ~ informed me - roses used to make a strong alcoholic drink in Bulgaria, similar to the raki, called "giulovica",
Thanks for that ma dear..:o)
We are told wisdom comes with age
But I believe wisdom comes from….
Pain, hardship, loss, sadness, joy, happiness, good times
We must have at least some of these things in our life at some point
To not only have wisdom
But to also have compassion, empathy
For without good and hard times in our life
We can learn nothing.
If we only have good and happy
How can we ever understand
Sadness, loss and pain when we ourselves have never experienced it
And if we only ever have
Bad, pain and loss
How can we ever understand
Joy, love and happiness
if we have never experienced it
Without a portion of each emotion we are only half of what we are meant to be
What are we meant to be?
Wiser I hope,
filled with compassion, empathy, kindness, helpfulness, understanding, caring, and joy
Filled with the wisdom of what it is....... to truly Love
And know what Love means
What are we meant to be?
Better than what we have become
