"If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another. If you wish to know that you are safe, cause another to know that they are safe. If you wish to better understand seemingly incomprehensible things, help another to better understand. If you wish to heal your own sadness or anger, seek to heal the sadness or anger of another."
Dalai Lama

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue. ~ Buddha.

An elephants oval eye is one of the most beautiful of the animal kingdom. long lashes, sincere intelligence and a wealth of wisdom. Like if you agree... :-)
Couldn't resist going back to this old tree. The water level is constantly changing in the lakes around here so opportunities come and go with the weather. I haven't caught the light just right yet. I will keep trying, you never know I might just get lucky. Thanks for looking!!! Well maybe I did catch the light just right. Thank you all for the wonderful comments!!!!

One of my favorite images from my trip last month to the swamps in Texas. These cypress trees have been around for a long time and have seen a lot.
Il Tempio di Cerere o Atena (500 a.C.)
Costruito circa cinquant'anni prima del Tempio di Nettuno e 50 anni dopo quello di Hera ha delle particolarità che lo distingue dagli altri due templi e lo rendono uno dei più interessanti dell'architettura greca. Il frontone alto rende questo Tempio unico; il fregio dorico composto di larghi blocchi di calcare è anch'esso di tipo unico. La pianta interna, più semplice di quella degli altri due templi era composta dal pronaos e dalla cella nella quale non ci sono tracce della camera del tesoro (adyton).
Il pronaos aveva otto colonne con capitelli ionici, quattro sul fronte e due su ciascun lato. Delle colonne ioniche del pronaos si vedono solamente le basi e due capitelli ( i più antichi in stile ionico rinvenuti in Italia) sono custoditi nel vicino Museo Archeologico.
Il ritovamento di numerose statuette in terracotta (ex voto) raffiguranti Atena nelle stipi votive prova che il Tempio non era dedicato a Cerere ma alla dea della saggezza e delle arti Atena. Infatti il tempio sorge sulla parte più alta della città, luogo dove sono sempre stati eretti i templi in onore di Atena nelle città greche.
Built about fifty years before the Temple of Neptune and 50 years after that of Hera, it has particularities that distinguish it from the other two temples and make it one of the most interesting in Greek architecture. The high pediment makes this Temple unique; the Doric frieze composed of large limestone blocks is also unique. The internal plan, simpler than that of the other two temples, was composed of the pronaos and the cell in which there are no traces of the treasure chamber (adyton).
The pronaos had eight columns with Ionic capitals, four on the front and two on each side. Of the Ionic columns of the pronaos, only the bases can be seen and two capitals (the oldest in Ionic style found in Italy) are kept in the nearby Archaeological Museum.
The discovery of numerous terracotta statuettes (ex voto) depicting Athena in votive containers proves that the Temple was not dedicated to Ceres but to the goddess of wisdom and the arts Athena. In fact, the temple stands on the highest part of the city, a place where temples in honor of Athena have always been built in Greek cities.
It was not only in Nazareth that the “today” of the Gospel was not accepted. Later also, in the course of the church’s history, it has again and again been denied or rendered toothless. The reason was the same as in Nazareth: apparently it goes against the human grain for God to become concrete in our lives. Then people’s desires and favorite notions are in danger, and so are their ideas about time. It can’t be today, because that would mean that our lives have to change today already. Therefore God’s salvation is better delayed into the future. There it can lie, hygienically and snugly packed, at rest, inconsequential.

our backyard maple is wise: new leaves are red, not green, so not to be burned by the sun; as they gain mass and strength, they morph into their green color. i’m fascinated by these early leaves. a single leaf seems to hold lifetimes of wisdom within itself.
a portrait steeped in quiet reflection and timeless dignity. captured at bar cristal on plaça espanya in palma de mallorca, this moment speaks of stories untold and wisdom gained through the years. the interplay of light and shadow draws you in, while the bustling energy of bar cristal fades into the background. this is more than a photographâitâs a window into a life well-lived.
An adult Northern Flatid Planthopper (Flatormenis proxima) and a nymph face each other, separated by a bramble thorn. Planthopper lifespans are quite short, so the age difference between these two is probably only a matter of days or weeks.
