No Invites please ....
Just something to remember in going about our lives.
Seeing this young man just gave me a time to pause and reflect.

2 romans visiting the local shrine to get a blessing from Apollo, the god of music, healing and truth. Build for Vignweek hosted by RebelLUG, day one, Ancient.
This card is inspired by Lin's flower cards in a vase. I can't remember the name of this HA flower stamp. Anyway, I stamped twice and painted and cut them out. This little vase is a free download that I printed out on a scrap piece of paper. Can you see the cherries on my tree in the background?

This photo was taken just after work. I attended a professional meeting. I do not normally dress for work other than my usual male attire. This was, however, very appropriate and had the blessing of my director. This was really quite a first, and I am finally contributing to the TG community in a professional capacity.
Taken recently at Varanasi, the holy city in India. Such a colourful figure and apart from the clothes note the beads ..... this area is known for its glass beads which are sold everywhere.
While Ferrari was not officially contesting outright victory at the time, the make was generally represented by private teams. Italian dealer, Michelotti, developed projects with the factory's blessing like this #57 GT2 version based on a 348, which finished 11th in the 1994 24 Hours.

Something a little different about the Buddhist religion!
In a remote corner of the world, lies the ancient landlocked Kingdom of Bhutan. Surrounded by the mighty Himalayas and bordering India and China, this Buddhist country is often referred to as the Last Shangri-La or the Land of the Thunder Dragon. In this obscure kingdom, the erstwhile capital city of Punakha continues to fiercely practice an age-old tradition of worshipping the most intriguing of objects: the phallus.
They are everywhere. Ornate penises flanking doorways, hanging off rooftops, painted on the sides of homes, as signage and on window displays. From bright yellows to pastel pinks, sometimes hairy and sometimes enveloped by a dragon spitting fire, some with piercing eyes.
Drukpa Kunley (1455–1529) is central to Bhutan’s phallic symbolism. Myths recount him using his “Thunderbolt of Flaming Wisdom” (his phallus) to subdue demons, including a notorious demoness in Punakha, making the phallus a protective emblem. Today, Chimi Lhakhang, the temple built in his honor, is a pilgrimage site for couples seeking fertility blessings.
Our guide a young married man explained people really do believe this & him & his wife had been for the blessing.
Blessings. We call it dads Rose in memory of my late dad. This is the first image taken with my new iPhone 12. Really good camera. Going to be interesting.
I snapped this one while the family and bridal party was praying over the bride. It was such a beautiful moment, and I don't see it at every wedding so I really appreciate the energy in the room when it happens and I'm there to see it ♥

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.

Woods
by Wendell Berry
"I part the out thrusting branches
and come in beneath
the blessed and the blessing trees.
Though I am silent
there is singing around me.
Though I am dark
there is vision around me.
Though I am heavy
there is flight around me."
From Collected Poems, 1957-1982. North Point Press, New York (1985).
Woods poem found at www.spiritoftrees.org/poetry/tree_poems.html
“Every forest branch moves differently in the breeze but as they sway they connect at the roots.”—Jelaluddin Rumi from “Birdsong” and “The Essential Rumi”
"Look at the beauty and perfection of nature. Everything in nature is so joyful, even though it doesn't have the intelligence of a human being. All of creation is rejoicing. The most beautiful flowers are picked by people —torn by their stems. Some are made into garlands while others are trampled heedlessly. A flower has such a short life span, and yet it offers itself wholeheartedly to others; it even offers its own nectar to the bees —and yet it is happy. The stars are twinkling in the sky, the rivers are flowing blissfully, the branches of the trees are dancing in the wind, and the birds are bursting into song. You should ask yourself, 'Why, then, do I feel so miserable living in the midst of all this joyful celebration?'
"Ask the question, 'why,' repeatedly, and you will find the answer. The answer is that the flowers, stars, rivers, trees and birds do not have an ego; and, being egoless, nothing can hurt them. When you are egoless, you can only rejoice. Even occasions that would normally be painful are transformed into moments of joy."--Amma

May all beings have happiness, and the causes of happiness.
May all be free from sorrow, and the causes of sorrow.
May all never be separated from the sacred happiness which is sorrow less.
And may all live in equanimity, without too much attachment and too much aversion.
This version is from:
Sogyal Rinpoche
www.katinkahesselink.net/tibet/blessing.html
-----------------------
Deutsche Version - etwas abweichend (habe leider keinen link mehr)
Mögen alle Wesen Glück und die Ursachen für Glück haben.
Mögen sie vom Leiden und den Ursachen für Leiden frei sein.
Mögen sie nicht von wahrem Glück, welches ohne jegliches Leid ist, getrennt sein.
Mögen sie in großem Gleichmut verweilen, frei von Anhaftung an ihnen Nahes und Ablehnung von ihnen Fernem
Ich persönlich schreibe die letzte Zeile wie folgt:
Mögen sie in großem Gleichmut verweilen, frei von Anhaftung an Vertrautem und Ablehnung von Fremdem.

Die Entwicklung liebevoller Gefühle steht bei allen Weltreligionen im Vordergrund. Ihre mystischen Zweige, ob Sufismus im Islam oder christliche Schulen wie die Franziskaner, haben Übungen hervorgebracht, die das Herz entwickeln. Auch der Buddhismus legt besonderen Wert auf das mitfühlende Herz. Als Beispiel:
Über Bodhicitta
Das mitfühlende Herz des erleuchteten Geistes
Es ist das erhabene Elixier,
Das die Herrschaft des Todes überwindet.
Es ist der unerschöpfliche Schatz,
Der die Armut in der Welt beseitigt.
Es ist die überragende Medizin,
Die alle Krankheiten der Welt kuriert.
Es ist der Baum, der allen Wesen Schutz gewährt,
Die müde sind vom Wandern auf dem Pfad bedingter Existenz.
Es ist die große Brücke,
Die zur Freiheit von Wiedergeburten in niederen Bereichen führt.
Es ist der aufgehende Mond des Geistes,
Der die Qualen verwirrender Konzepte auflöst.
Es ist die mächtige Sonne, die schließlich
Die Nebel der Verblendung in der Welt vertreibt.
Aus Internet:
Diesen Bescheibungen kann ich voll zustimmen, denn nichts übertrifft die Frequenz des Herzens.
Liebe ist das höchste der Gefühle. Liebe wird wachsend auf dem Pfad der Selbsterkenntnis erfahren, nachdem der Selbsthass während der Phase der Einstellung des Bewusstseins auf Ego-Frequenz erkannt und transformiert wurde. Der Prozess der Befreiung der Selbstliebe ist vergleichbar mit einer Befreiung aus der Gefangenschaft einer Zwangsverwaltung.Damit meine ich die Befreiung vom triebhaften Ego.

I decided to try Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #6.
I'm apparently not a very "dotty" person, as making my own patterned paper is as dotty as I get! The aqua pp is made with the Raindrop Background and dotted flower center from the Printed Flowers set. The branch spread over panels was inspired by Lucy again :) Thanks for looking!

This wildflower/ plant/ weed..what ever it may be...I found it interesting. And the bugs LOVE them. It seems that when a flower begins to die another goes out of the middle of the last. Here...the third is starting to bloom. It's an amazing thing.
We plant our seeds everywhere we go..those we touch and who we talk to. You never know what effects others and how. Plant a seed today...maybe pass a smile~ You just never know.
The blessing of the Lord makes man rich and He adds no sorrows to it. Many millionaires in the US are of Jewish origin, hence the saying: where there’s a Jew, there’s a blessing. In Christ, we are more than a Jew–we are children of God. We are a blessed people! In God’s eyes His children are always rich, heirs of Christ! If we aren’t rich in cash today, we are in our Lord’s peace. If we don’t have properties, we’re rich just the same, for what’s Christ’s is ours too. His Father’s mansion up there will soon be our home! “I go to prepare a place for you,” Christ said. What richness will it be–not just in a billion years but through ETERNITY!The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22
