Heartshaped Paper Experiments.

The Hall of Pillars, or East Tazaung of Shwezigon Pagoda, in Myanmar, is a significant structure. The hall symbolizes devotion and is integral to the pagoda's religious and historical importance, attracting pilgrims and visitors seeking spiritual solace.

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.

...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.

Rakher Upobash is a Hindu festival of lights, faith and devotion. It is also known as Kartik Brati. The festival is celebrated in the month of Kartik, which usually falls in November. Hindu worshipers fast and pray in the earnest to the Gods for their favors during the traditional ritual.

I've been running, trying to be one who sees

I've been working, this salvation out on my knees

There is nothing better than knowing

We are redeemed

I'm believing, trusting in creative hands,

I am praying for our world to bow to your plan

And this one thought is unmistakable

To take up my cross and follow You Lord

 

When You stand, the tall tress and mountains bow

When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still

And I see the sinner seek devotion

The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees

 

I'm forgiven by a Savior who did not deserve death

He was blameless and I was lost in shamefulness

Undelivered, but it doesn't seem right

Unless I keep my eyes focues on the Savior who gave His life

In the middle of a world that denies it believes

It is breaking apart at the very seams

There is one thing to be alive for

And it's to take up my cross and follow You Lord

 

When You stand, the tall trees and mountains bow

When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still

And I see the sinner seek devotion

The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees

 

I will take up my cross and follow Lord where You lead me

And I will take up my cross and follow wherever you go

 

When You stand, the tall trees and mountains bow

When You speak, the fiercest of oceans are still

And I see the sinner seek devotion

The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees

 

Fall to my knees

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 ...

Devotion to family. And perhaps, more.....

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.

St Edwards the Confessor, Romford

"The Spiritual Warrior is a person who challenges all fear, lies, false beliefs, and judgments that create suffering and unhappiness in his or her life. It is a war that takes place in the heart and mind of a man or woman. The Spiritual Warrior faces this challenge with the clarity and awareness that this war is fought within himself and that Truth and unconditional love are on the other side of these battles." - Gi ❤

 

"I'm at the borderline of my faith

I'm at the hinterland of my devotion

I'm in the front line of this battle of mine." - Sade ♫

Praying, devotely, to the Temple

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 too proud to be strong...
