Ellora Cave 16: the Kailasanatha Temple. 8th century.

 

Conceptualizing an idea that would take 200 years to complete, take 7500 people to finish, with buy-in from 10 generations of stake holders, detailing it to the T (a house of god cannot have a wrong cut), excavating 400000 tonnes of rock, all of these could only have been possible because of the sheer brilliance, love and devotion of those involved.

Heartshaped Paper Experiments.

Vibe

  

She lowers her eyes to the dark,

not in fear, but in trust.

The night asks nothing gently,

and she gives herself to it anyway.

 

Her heart kneels before unseen hands

fate, memory, love that never stayed.

She has learned the grace of soft obedience:

to ache, to wait, to remain open.

 

Silk and shadow cling like promises

she never demanded be kept.

She is strongest in her surrender,

most alive when she does not resist.

 

She lets the darkness name her,

shape her, hold her still.

Not because she is weak

but because devotion

is its own kind of power.

A moving moment at the Mezquita, as a couple of young tourists used her phone to photograph a lady in front of a shrine. She had a mobility impairment, her walking sticks lying in front of her.

Shot on my birthday, and in near darkness. Very emotional scene ...

Protezione eterna ... eternal protection

...all I had to do was talking to the right Person to get myself back on the right path to feel safe, secure and respected.

Here is Gallad, our 11 month-old puppy giving me that look...he loves to be talked to and like most dogs, he pricks up his ears, cocks his head and fixes his eyes on me as if trying to understand what the human is saying...and then he talks back in little yipes and hound howls. I love the look of utter trust in his eyes.

Remember When

 

Remember when we said when we turned gray

When the children grow up and move away

We won't be sad, we'll be glad

For all the life we've had

And we'll remember when

In front of the Jokhang temple, she and her family did a full body prostration.

 

This is very hard to do,

The actual prostration is performed by dropping the body forward and stretching it full length on the floor, the arms outstretched in front.... Again, with hands in the lotus bud mudra, bend your arms back and touch your hands to the top of your head (forehead touching the ground), a gesture that acknowledges the blessing flowing from Guru Rinpoche. Then stretch your arms out once more and push yourself up.... Bring your hands into the lotus bud mudra for the third time and touch your heart in a gesture of reverence. Then, walk forward in body length, with a smooth motion, bring your hands to your crown and perform the next prostration...........

Don't be afraid to be weak

Don't be too proud to be strong...
