‘She stepped into the hall of mirrors
Where she discovered a reflection of herself
Sometimes she saw her real face
And sometimes a stranger at her place
Even the greatest stars discover themselves in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars find their face in the looking glass’ Hall of Mirrors
This is in the hope that this work gets accepted in the Hypothetical 2nd Annual "Me, Myself & I" Challenge.

It was a long day of trek with steady up and down through bushes and woods.....although the knees aching and the sack getting heavier, the beauty around was so inspiring that we kept on walking with ease of mind....ahead was my husband and a little more away was my son...

I think this image and the accompanying music sum up the hopefully gentle passing of the turbulent old year (floating away like driftwood) and with it the hope that 2016 will be better for all.
Forgive the artistic licence as the photo doesn't actually bear any direct relation to 2015 or have any driftwood in it that I can see :-)))))).
I hope you like this music. Have a wonderful peaceful New Year.

And a heaven in a wildflower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour".

The feeling of affection and love
is an instinct we do not have to learn,
But how to love,we have to learn
Self respect ,self love
respect every creation without discrimination
Everyone has the right to be respected
the privelage to live up to it
given the opportunity to earn it.
By the example of selfrespect
and self-love
you will know the difference
of not being selfish
you will know that sometimes
you have to give in order to earn

Surah 97 : Al Qadr
Revealed at Makkah
[1] We have indeed sent down the Qurâan in the Night of Destiny.
[2] And what have you understood, what the Night of Destiny is!
[3] The Night of Destiny is better than a thousand months.
[4] In it descend the angels and Jibreel, by the command of their Lord â for all works.
[5] It is peace until the rising of dawn.
[ Kuala Kerteh, Nikon FM, Fuji Superia 200 ]
Just as archers fix their gaze upon a distant target before loosing the strings of their bows and sending their arrows flying, so do lovers of God fix their gaze on the face of God, each releasing the soul so it too can fly toward its target where it celebrates its homecoming. All spiritual paths teach us that if we want to find God, then we need to turn directly toward God, come face-to-face with the energies of the Divine, and then surrender to whatever begins to occur as a result of the impact that such an encounter creates in our lives. But where do we turn? And where exactly is it that we find the face of the Divine? Is it everywhere? Or in one particular location only? And can perhaps a particular location, a particular face, serve as the doorway to the face of God?
One way to look upon the face of God is to create an image of God, either a painting or a sculpture, and then gaze at the image for an extended period of time. This practice can be found in the Greek Orthodox Church where icons of saints and personages from the Bible are the only companions that monks and nuns take with them into the isolation of their cells during long periods of retreat.
When one fixes his or her entire attention on these images over long hours and days, the images may come to life and enter into animated dialogue with the practitioner. Many devout Hindus create personal shrines in their homes and temples in which images of a god or goddess serve as the means for personal dialogue with the Divine. It is said that the eyes of these images are the most important of all the facial features, for by creating eye contact with the image a devotee achieves darshan, a sanskrit word meaning "seeing and being seen by God."
Because the eyes are universally acknowledged to be the windows to the soul, when we hold the gaze of another, we hold and cradle his or her soul. This most intimate of acts is reserved as a privilege for people who love and trust one another. Newborn children are natural adepts at the practice and are often able to draw their parents into gazing at them for long periods of time. People newly in love may find that they automatically fall into gazing at each other as a natural expression of the love that they feel. In fact, this unintentional and spontaneous dissolving into the eyes of the other is often the signal that, at long last, they have finally found the beloved for whom they've been searching. When describing this newfound love, people will often rejoice that, finally, they have met someone who truly sees them as they are.
*The above excerpt is taken from the article Gazing At The Beloved By Will Johnson
Away from maddening crowds, amidst one of the most daunting combination of forests and road of Greece in autumn, a visit in the wilderness is enough for you discover lost parts of your innerself.
Death of nature has never been more majestic...
"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection." Buddha .
...And I don't feel like to party.
I will though try to upload few photos with theme Fall & fruits of automn (included pumpkins ;)
Today, 01.11.2020 I was in da mood to post some art drawings & posted 1 with a beautiful cross, not a declaration of a creed in particular, just a wonderful cross, a very potent symbol of martyr, in the Day of All Saints as myself couldn't care less of Halloween, being just an imported consumistic feast, allthough allways in origin derived from AllSaints to which it is also ethimologically linked.
So, I posted an artwork depicting a very stylish cross, actually it could have also been meant as a celtic or kimber cross, not spending a sole word about religion. It had received several awards in the past, and, guess what, I was kicked out of the group. It's a new born group so I don't mind and, well, better so, always kept the distances from evil that get furious when seeing crosses. That admin must have been pure evil :-P

If there be spirits in the air
That hold their sway between the earth and sky,
Descend out of the golden vapors there
And sweep me into iridescent life.
Oh, came a magic cloak into my hands
To carry me to distant lands,
I should not trade it for the choicest gown,
Nor for the cloak and garments of the crown.”
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Photo collaboration with my husband Nick at Lake Mary, Glacier NP. After a long day of traveling, we decided at the last minute of sunset that despite being tired, we wanted to do a little more exploring. So we started driving toward Lake Mary. We found a trailhead, grabbed some gear and headed down an unknown trail toward the lake. It was worth every ounce of energy that we didn't have to start with. :)
Every time you lie to yourself, go against your own sense of fairness, compassion and integrity; fail to follow your dreams and utilize your gifts and talents, hurt someone you love consciously or unconsciously you detach the spiritual bond between your body and your soul. When you believe in one thing and you act and behave in an opposite manner, you become an empty vessel, a shell, a person without substance. Your physical body is alive, but it is hollow and vacant because it lacks integrity and meaning
