I want to have another beautiful summer day
For see the green of nature
I want to live a hot summer night
For see the moon being born from a passion
I wish I could rule the time
Candy sky and summer
I wish I could rule the Earth
to make a big heart of her
Yes, it's love and compassion
Not war and loneliness
Yes, it's love and compassion
The world and all it's beauty
The wind blows, the storm comes
That will wash me from all evil
With the clouds you can not see
The blue sky that's above us
And the lights that will come to light us
I want to have another beautiful summer day
For see the green of nature
I want to live a hot summer night
For see the moon being born from a passion
(my own translation from Bruno Mad - Dia de Verão/Summer day)

THE COLOR “RED” IN CHINA
Of all the colors, “red” attracts the most attention. The people considered the red color auspicious and a color that expresses honor.
Time has passed, but the thought of respect for the color red has not changed. No matter where and when (in China), people use red color to express happiness. People see the red color as a symbol of happiness, success, loyalty and justice (see also: the mask in Peking Opera).
And especially in China, it is believed that the red color has the effect of keeping bad and evil away from the human body:
Red lamps are hung on New Year's Day, the firecrackers have a red cover, the banners on the door are red.
In addition, many are accustomed to wearing red in years when the number "9" occurs, to avoid the evil. Therefore, it can be said that the red color is China's lucky color, bringing people stability, happiness and prosperity

thank you for all your visits
I just want to share this survivor with you. You don't have to look very close to see his wing is badly damaged. My friend and I first noticed him all alone after all the other shovelers had gone north, in the Spring of 2019. He's a permanent resident now, a survivor, and I'm always torn with compassion and joy when I see him - I'm happy he's still chugging along, but sad he's all alone. I was thinking he'd be happy now with all the migrant shovelers in town, and he has come to the specific area on the lake where they hang out, but he stays a bit aloof, a loner so to speak. Now that I recently witnessed the high-octane male behavior, it's pretty likely he doesn't want to get involved. But he's really handsome, on the other side you'd never know about his handicap. It's not too hard to single him out, as he doesn't head for the far side of the lake at first sight of a human like the others do. He's a survivor, he's adapted to what life dealt him. I can't imagine how his wing was so injured - it's possible he escaped a coyote, I have no idea. But he always makes me smile now, coming up on his third spring with us.
First, my apologies for the somewhat poor composition. I took this shot literally the first week I touched a camera. Regardless of my inability to capture the moment well though, I couldn't help but make an attempt.....not only was the Cathedral breathtakingly beautiful, but note at lower right the young person unable to walk (who later I found out was paralyzed in an auto accident) being carried to the front of the church for prayer.
This is at Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe, NM.
We the people are sick and tired of our politicians trying to put fear into us, separating us into groups, not working with us for a better, more diverse country. Putting money above everything else and generally not working very hard for change for the good. It is time that you started joining us in our uphill battle for a fairer country, less selfish and more embracing of everyone. We have to stop judging and start living together!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy practice compassion".
Dalai Lama
Compassionate humans are everywhere if we are willing to open our eyes and see the kindness of those around us. Compassion is human nature.
So why dont we as humans show more compassion and kindness towards our planet, to Mother Nature, the environment and nature surrounding us. It makes me wonder. Why are we destroying the beauty of nature?
Why dont we acknowledging the need of animals, and nature in general, and the importance of their survival, as well as showing interest in their well-being, after all we need nature to be able to live here on earth.
I want to yet again praise and thank Una and Bo for putting the environment on the agenda, by making this sim.
I hope many will visit, but I also hope and wish people will take the time to sit down and reflect about what they see on the sim, this could very well be a real life scenario if we dont stop and think. By doing so hopefully we can make some changes in the way we treat our planet and the environment, we can all do something, even if little. It is a fact that global warming and climate change is effecting all of us. Some of the things we all can notice are: pollution, global warming, overpopulation, waste disposal, ocean acidification, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, ozone layer depletion, and the list goes on....

I am sorry my meager photoshop skills can't do this more justice. In the wake of evil, the symbol of the open hand is a powerful symbol. It conveys invitation, openness, compassion, and togetherness. In a time when rage begins it slow burn, an open hand can sometimes help love prevail over fury. Paris, the world offers you a hand of compassion. And, while war always seems inevitable in this broken world, may we all long for peace.
The little man’s dreams carry him to the stars…
Keep chasing your dreams!
Keep building a future founded on kindness and compassion!
Keep shining your light, my friends!

- the climbing rose bush in our garden is blooming in profusion this summer
- my haiku today has a total of 17 syllables, arranged in 3 lines with a pattern of 5-7-5
- I like experimenting
- I have a tendency to be verbose, was not good at précis at school and writing haiku forces me to be concise!
I have brought the sky to you
Leave this unrelenting earth
What kindness did it show you
Except a massacre of truth
Loosen your bonds and move freely
Become what you are worth
Could anyone have shown more love
Could anyone have died more cruelly
Surely you are now your true self
Pure light of the spirit
Let go of that last breath
No more torture or death
Move forwards without regret

Thank you to everybody who has so kindly viewed, faved & commented on the first work in this Easter Series, "Sacrifice". I think what I shall do is a massive catch up with you all after the last work in this series goes up on Easter Day. Then I can enjoy all your galleries again!
So meanwhile...for Good Friday I have chosen one of my “Christ Tree” images, as this particular tree seems to embody the evocative feelings that gazing upon these series of photographs that I took at that time in my life always brings me, even now, some time after.
Christ was the World Tree, that we cut down. We potentially cut down our own future, but He knew that these memories would remain, that His sacrifice would never be forgotten while there were people who resisted the curtailment of freedom of spiritual choice in this world.
This living Christ Tree shows that love can still grow if we let it, that compassion can still flourish. But this living Christ Tree is also a reminder that all living things can contain a sorrow within them, as we carry our memories with us, not just from events in our own lives but also from events in the past, from our history.
This living Christ Tree is a reminder that we are part of the life on this planet, that what we do affects everybody else, we can never really escape it, because this life is all around us, and what we have made of it, for good or ill.
There comes a time when we must leave our lives on this earth, and let our souls travel on; how brave are those who choose to sacrifice themselves to further mankind’s understanding. But even for them, the light will come to relieve them of their burdens, enabling them to finally rest. Christ was such an individual, part human, part divine.
There is a spark of divinity in all of us, and will respond if given a chance to grow. The world could be a much better place if we listened to that voice telling us how things could be. All we have to do is turn to the Light.

The Christ Tree was photographed in Sussex in the UK, near a village called Wilmington, and one of my most favourite places to be. In the right light, the Christ Tree speaks to you.
I have paired this work with Ólafur Arnald’s wonderful piece of music “Epilogue”, which has that sense of a final ‘letting go’ that captures the mood I was trying to create with this work for Good Friday. Please find link below.

Use your voice for Kindness, your ears for Compassion, your hands for charity, your mind for Truth, and your Heart for LOVE.
“It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
Compassion : the act of showing kindness, support, and a desire to alleviate someone's suffering without necessarily sharing their emotional experience.

For the ‘Art is Immortal’ art exhibition, ‘The Art of Compassion’. 14/04/2024
The vampire stood in the twilight’s shadow, holding a bouquet of roses in his hands. They were a tribute to her, the woman who had taught him to love and feel compassion. He longed to feel the warmth of the sun one last time, as an echo of the human warmth she had provided him. As tears of blood fell upon the petals, the sun touched his skin, and in that moment of pain and beauty, he remembered the light she had brought into his eternal life.
In the context of the story, the vampire’s compassion for the woman reflects an emotional connection that transcends his nature. Despite being a creature of darkness, his ability to feel compassion brings him closer to his humanity. As a way to honor the woman’s memory and feel a final connection with her, the vampire risks feeling the warmth of the sun, knowing it will cause him pain. It is a symbolic gesture of his love and compassion, choosing to share the human experience of loss and remembrance.
