Sweet memories of my photo-shoot with Peggy in Stanley Park, Vancouver.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day:)
The Dolma La pass is at an elevation of 19500 feet, which is the highest altitude of our entire yatra.
Dolma La is the Tibetan name of Goddess Parvati, wife of Lord Shiva residing at Mount Kailash.
The pass can be treacherous if the weather is not favourable. It is said that one can cross only if Goddess Dolma allows you to. Today, she was kind enough to bestow her blessings and we crossed the pass with no hindrance at all.
We were warned not to linger around for too long at this altitude for the air is very thin here. We only spent a few moments at the top of the pass and quickly hurried down towards Gauri Kund.
We made a yatra (pilgrimage) to the holy land of Mt. Kailash and Manassarovar Lake in Tibet in September 2007. It is only now that I have begun posting pictures from our journey! So enjoy the yatra on Flickr and if you have been to the Kailash Manassarovar region, do contribute your pictures to the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra group!
See our journey! Slideshow
"... a blessing is the moment you are happy from whatever you're experiencing now... regardless of anything... no ifs & buts... "
Tubmanburg, Monrovia, Liberia - June 5, 2014: When Blessing was 4 months old, her mother, Bendu, was working on a farm in rural Liberia. One day she forgot something at home and left Blessing with a close friend at the farm. When she returned, Blessing would not stop crying. She couldn't figure out what was wrong. Eventually she took off her clothes and discovered bleeding. After an examination at the hospital, they determiend that she had been raped by the man. Blessing spent a month in the hospital recovering. Meanwhile, Bendu filed a report with the police and took him to court. He was released when the family provided evidence that he was underage at the time (approximately 17). Blessing is now 4 years old and lives with her mother and baby sister, Miatta.

I kept this shot as raw as I could. Kept his back bright against the sun and his face bowed in the shadow. Hand on the heart, bowed in a prayer. He was listening to our National Anthem which my daughter and her choir class had the priveledge of singing before this all amican past time...Baseball. You can't get any more american than that. I wish we all could stop and say a prayer before we did anything that we loved. It doesn't take much to have some faith.
I am so proud of Kaily for do this, it was a big thing and a wonderful memory for sure.
End of April, way past the best timing for cherry blossom viewing in the middle part of Japan. BUT, fortunately, Bibi still got to "catch" a tiny little bit (a few trees XD) at Nagano. ^^ What a blessing!!!

I love the way I can now use my own photos as a backdrop for all sorts of things like this blessing :-)
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handrwriting - a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.
