When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the lustre of a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven, and the influence of her power it is in vain to resist.

[Larus argentatus]

 

A mated pair of herring gulls - monogamous and life-long partners.

 

I was sitting in the car at Girvan Harbour when I saw a big gull aggressively chase a yearling. The big one, I’ll call him Clyde, kept flying at, and chasing, the youngster who was intent on staying with his mother. It soon became apparent that Clyde was with his forever love, Bonnie, and Junior was the last of their chicks from 2017. In order to continue the pair’s life together, there must be an “empty nest” so the youngster was cruelly and finally ousted by his father.

 

When Junior eventually left, Bonnie & Clyde began their mating dance...In broad daylight, with people around. Not judging. Just saying...They were singing together, screaming and guldering (!) in harmony at the sky, paddling past each other and turning around to then pass on the other side. Honestly, the were standing staring into each other’s eyes! Then came the kissing...

 

I had to drive away to preserve their modesty. ☺️

Listen to Surah An-Nur

  

Surat An-Nur (Arabic: سورة النور‎) (The Light) is the 24th sura of the Qur'an with 64 ayat.

Background

The general agreement of scholars is that is sura was revealed shortly before or after the Battle of the Trench in 5 AH

  

Content

This sura opens with a short introduction to the revelation of the Quran, as many other sura do - that is a reminder and a clear sign for people to look to.

  

[Qur'an 24:2]

The sura thus begins with various explanations and decrees on or relating to corrupt sexual acts, family law, and specifications on the giving of testimony. Foremost amongst these rulings is God's punishment for adultery. This section ends with the pronouncement that good men and women should be paired together, as should corrupt men and corrupt women. This discussion turns into reflections on privacy and modesty, namely of hosts and women. Contained herein are several regulations and explanations of modesty, most directly lines traditionally used to argue for the wearing of hijab. After these prohibitions are cast for women, the text turns towards men, asking them not to oppress slavegirls into prostitution, and to marry those women who need husbands, despite their poverty.

  

[Qur'an 24:35]: Ayat an-Nur, "The Light Verse"

Main article: An-Nur, 34

After a second statement of the Quran's status as a clear sign from above, the famed Ayat an-Nur appears. This is often referred to as "the Light Verse", or "the Parable of Light", a mystical group of lines that has been the subject of much scholarship and reflection.

 

"God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His light is as if there were a niche and within it a lamp: The lamp enclosed in glass: The glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! God doth guide whom He will to His light: God doth set forth parables for men: and God doth know all things."

 

[Qur'an 24:36]

The Qur'an here briefly returns to a slightly more literal form of speech as it reassures believers that their remembrance will be rewarded, as the forgetfulness of the sinners will be punished. In keeping with the Light Verse, the unbelievers too are explained in metaphor, returning to the deeply symbolic tone above:

 

"And as for the unbelievers, their works are as a mirage in a spacious plain,

 

in which a thirsty man thinks there to be water,

 

until when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing;

 

there indeed he finds God and He pays him his account in full;

 

and God is swift in the reckoning;

 

or they are as shadows upon a sea obscured,

 

covered by a billow above which is a billow above which are clouds;

 

shadows piled one upon the other;

 

when he puts forth his hand, wellnigh he cannot see it.

 

And whoever God assigns no light, no light has he." (Lines 39-40)

 

The Qur'an explains that the Earth itself is evidence of God's reality and power. He controls the clouds, the winds, the hail, and the mountains. It was God who chose which animals had four feet, which had two, and which had none.

  

[Qur'an 24:45]

The Qur'an confirms that God has sent down signs (ayat) to make His reality clear, and that understanding that reality is as a "straight path", that if one is truly following, one can never be led astray. God keeps His word, and will continue to reward those who believe and keep to their religion, as He as rewarded others in the past for doing the same.

 

The Book urges the believer not to fret, and not to accuse people of sin merely for the conditions of their birth or social status. For example, in many tribal cultures a blind person or their parents were believed to be wicked, hence the gods or the spirits have blinded them. The Qur'an urges one not to think in this manner, and instead remember that all things are signs from God, and thus all believers should be of good nature to others, and wish them blessings from God. If that is done, the signs become clear and "happily you will understand".

 

As the believer must greet others well, so must they ask for leave from them before departing. However, the sura ends, God knows the hidden reasons people do as they do, "God knows those of you who slip away surreptitiously", for when all returns to Him, they will testify against themselves to Him.

سورة النور سورة مدنية تهتم بالآداب الإجتماعية عامة وآداب البيوت خاصة وقد وجّهت المسلمين إلى أسس الحياة الفاضلة الكريمة بما فيها من توجيهات رشيدة وآداب سامية تحفظ المسلم ومجتمعه وتصون حرمته وتحافظ عليه من عوامل التفكك الداخلي والإنهيار الخلقي الذي يدمّر الأمم. وقد نزلت فيها آيات تبرئة السيدة عائشة بعد حادثة الإفك (إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاؤُوا بِالْإِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِّنكُمْ لَا تَحْسَبُوهُ شَرًّا لَّكُم بَلْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُم مَّا اكْتَسَبَ مِنَ الْإِثْمِ وَالَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَهُ مِنْهُمْ لَهُ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ) آية 11 وكل الآيات التي سبقتها إنما كانت مقدمة لتبرءتها. ثم يأتي التعقيب في (لَوْلَا إِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوهُ ظَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بِأَنفُسِهِمْ خَيْرًا وَقَالُوا هَذَا إِفْكٌ مُّبِينٌ) الآية 12 وفيها توجيه للمسلمين بإحسان الظنّ بإخوانهم المسلمين وبأنفسهم وأن يبتعدوا عن سوء الظن بالمؤمنين، وشددت على أهمية إظهار البيّنة (لَوْلَا جَاؤُوا عَلَيْهِ بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاء فَإِذْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِالشُّهَدَاء فَأُوْلَئِكَ عِندَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْكَاذِبُونَ) آية 13 ويأتي الوعظ الإلهي في الآية 17 (يَعِظُكُمُ اللَّهُ أَن تَعُودُوا لِمِثْلِهِ أَبَدًا إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ). فالسورة بشكل عام هي لحماية أعراض الناس وهي بحقّ سورة الآداب الإجتماعية.

 

تبدأ السورة بآية شديدة جداً (سُورَةٌ أَنزَلْنَاهَا وَفَرَضْنَاهَا وَأَنزَلْنَا فِيهَا آيَاتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ) آية 1 وفيها تنبيه للمسلمين لأن السورة فيها أحكام وآداب هي قوام المجتمع الإسلامي القويم.

 

تنتقل الآيات إلى عقوبة الزناة (الزَّانِيَةُ وَالزَّانِي فَاجْلِدُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا مِئَةَ جَلْدَةٍ وَلَا تَأْخُذْكُم بِهِمَا رَأْفَةٌ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَلْيَشْهَدْ عَذَابَهُمَا طَائِفَةٌ مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ) آية 2، والأصل في الدين الرأفة والرحمة أما في أحوال الزناة فالأمر يحتاج إلى الشدة والقسوة وإلا فسد المجتمع جرّاء التساهل في تطبيق شرع الله وحماية حدوده، لذا جاءت الآيات تدل على القسوة وعلى كشف الزناة . لكن يجب أن نفهم الدلالة من هذه الآية، فالله تعالى يأمرنا بأن نطبق هذه العقوبة بعد أن نستكمل بعض الضمانات لحماية المجتمع التي تتحدث عنها بالتفصيل الآيات التالية في السورة. والملاحظ في هذه السورة تقديم الزانية على الزاني وكما يقول الدكتور أحمد الكبيسي في هذا التقديم أن سببه أن المرأة هي التي تقع عليها مسؤولية الزنا فهي لو أرادت وقع الزنا وإن لم ترد لم يقع فبيدها المنع والقبول، وهذا على عكس عقوبة السرقة (والسارق والسارقة) فهنا قدم السارق لأن طبيعة الرجل هو الذي يسعى في الرزق على أهله فهو الذي يكون معرضاً لفعل هذه الجريمة هذا والله أعلم.

 

ضمانات لحماية المجتمع:

 

1. الإستئذان: (يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتًا غَيْرَ بُيُوتِكُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْنِسُوا وَتُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ) آية 27 تعلمنا الآيات ضرورة الإستئذان لدخول البيوت وحتى داخل البيت الواحد للأطفال والخدم في ساعات الراحة التي قد يكون الأب والأم في خلوة (يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِيَسْتَأْذِنكُمُ الَّذِينَ مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحُلُمَ مِنكُمْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ مِن قَبْلِ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَحِينَ تَضَعُونَ ثِيَابَكُم مِّنَ الظَّهِيرَةِ وَمِن بَعْدِ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاء ثَلَاثُ عَوْرَاتٍ لَّكُمْ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ جُنَاحٌ بَعْدَهُنَّ طَوَّافُونَ عَلَيْكُم بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ) آية 58 ومن آداب الإسلام أن لا يدخل الأبناء على والديهم بدون استئذان.

 

2. غضّ البصر وحفظ الفرج: (قُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا فُرُوجَهُمْ ذَلِكَ أَزْكَى لَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ) آية 30 وهذا توجيه للرجال والنساء معاً فهم جميعاً مطالبون بغض البصر.

 

3. الحجاب: (وَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَى جُيُوبِهِنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاء بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَائِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَاء بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي أَخَوَاتِهِنَّ أَوْ نِسَائِهِنَّ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُنَّ أَوِ التَّابِعِينَ غَيْرِ أُوْلِي الْإِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ أَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَى عَوْرَاتِ النِّسَاء وَلَا يَضْرِبْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعْلَمَ مَا يُخْفِينَ مِن زِينَتِهِنَّ وَتُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا أَيُّهَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ) آية 31

 

4. تسهيل تزويح الشباب (وَأَنكِحُوا الْأَيَامَى مِنكُمْ وَالصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَإِمَائِكُمْ إِن يَكُونُوا فُقَرَاء يُغْنِهِمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ) آية 32 وتسهيل هذا الزواج لحماية الشباب الذي بلغ سن الزواج وبالتالي حماية المجتمع كاملاً.

 

5. منع البغاء: (وَلْيَسْتَعْفِفِ الَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ نِكَاحًا حَتَّى يُغْنِيَهُمْ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ وَالَّذِينَ يَبْتَغُونَ الْكِتَابَ مِمَّا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ فَكَاتِبُوهُمْ إِنْ عَلِمْتُمْ فِيهِمْ خَيْرًا وَآتُوهُم مِّن مَّالِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي آتَاكُمْ وَلَا تُكْرِهُوا فَتَيَاتِكُمْ عَلَى الْبِغَاء إِنْ أَرَدْنَ تَحَصُّنًا لِّتَبْتَغُوا عَرَضَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَمَن يُكْرِههُّنَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مِن بَعْدِ إِكْرَاهِهِنَّ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ) آية 33

 

6. منع إشاعة الفواحش بإظهار خطورة انتشارها: (إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ أَن تَشِيعَ الْفَاحِشَةُ فِي الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ) آية 19 و(إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ الْغَافِلَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ لُعِنُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ * يَوْمَ تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ وَأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ) آية 23 و24. فلقد لعن الله تعالى الذين يشيعون الفاحشة أو يرمون المحصنات وحذرهم من عذابه في الدنيا والآخرة.

 

نعود للآيات الأولى في حدّ الزنى ونرى أنه لا تطبيق لهذا الحدّ إلا إذا تحققت هذه الضمانات الإجتماعية أولاً وبعدها لو حدثت حادثة زنا لا يقام الحد حتى يشهد أربع شهود ومن غير الشهود لا يطبق الحدّ فكأن إقامة الحد مستحيلة وكأنما في هذا توكيد على أن الله تعالى يحب الستر ولا يفضح إلا من جهر بالفاحشة ولنا أن نتخيل أي إنسان يزني أمام أربع شهود إلا إذا كان فاجراً مجاهراً عندها هذا هو الذي يقام عليه الحدّ حتى لا يفسد المجتمع بفجوره وتجرئه على الله وعلى أعراض الناس في مجتمعه. فلو كان قد وقع في معصية ولم يكن له إلا ثلاث شهود لا يقام عليه الحد ويجب عليه التوبة والاستغفار ولهذا جاءت في السورة آيات التوبة والمغفرة . (وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ حَكِيمٌ) آية 10 و(إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تَابُوا مِن بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ) آية 5 و (وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِي مَا أَفَضْتُمْ فِيهِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ) آية 14 و(وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ وَأَنَّ اللَّه رَؤُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ) آية 14.

 

حد القذف: حذّرنا الله تعالى في هذه السورة من قذف المحصنات وبيّن لنا العقوبة التي تقع على هؤلاء وهي لعنة الله وعذابه في الدنيا والآخرة.

 

آية النور: هذه الآية التي سميّت السورة باسمها فيها من الإعجاز ما توقف عنده الكثير من العلماء. ووجودها في سورة النور هو بتدبير وبحكمة من الله تعالى، فلو طبّق المجتمع الإسلامي الضمانات التي أوردتها الآيات في السورة لشعّ النور في المجتمع ولخرج الناس من الظلمات إلى النور، وشرع الله تعالى هو النور الذي يضيء المجتمع ولذا تكررت في السورة (آيات مبيّنات وآيات بيّنات) 9 مرّات لأن هذه الآيات وما فيها من منهج تبيّن للناس طريقهم والنور من خصائصه أن يبيّن ويَظهر ويكشف. هذا النور الذي ينير المجتمع الإسلامي إنما مصدره (اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونِةٍ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِيءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ نُّورٌ عَلَى نُورٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَن يَشَاء وَيَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ) آية 35، وينزل هذا النور في المساجد (فِي بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ أَن تُرْفَعَ وَيُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اسْمُهُ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ فِيهَا بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِ) آية 36 وينزل على (رِجَالٌ لَّا تُلْهِيهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَلَا بَيْعٌ عَن ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاء الزَّكَاةِ يَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا تَتَقَلَّبُ فِيهِ الْقُلُوبُ وَالْأَبْصَارُ) آية 37 والذي لا يسير على شرع الله يكون حاله كما في الآية (وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَعْمَالُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍ بِقِيعَةٍ يَحْسَبُهُ الظَّمْآنُ مَاء حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءهُ لَمْ يَجِدْهُ شَيْئًا وَوَجَدَ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ فَوَفَّاهُ حِسَابَهُ وَاللَّهُ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ * أَوْ كَظُلُمَاتٍ فِي بَحْرٍ لُّجِّيٍّ يَغْشَاهُ مَوْجٌ مِّن فَوْقِهِ مَوْجٌ مِّن فَوْقِهِ سَحَابٌ ظُلُمَاتٌ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ إِذَا أَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ لَمْ يَكَدْ يَرَاهَا وَمَن لَّمْ يَجْعَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ نُورًا فَمَا لَهُ مِن نُّورٍ) آية 39 و 40

 

وسميّت سورة النور لما فيها من إشعاعات النور الربًاني بتشريع الأحكام والآداب والفضائل الإنسانية التي هي قبس من نور الله على عباده وفيض من فيوضات رحمته.وتشبيه النور بمشكاة فيها مصباح، المصباح في زجاجة الزجاجة كأنها كوكب دريّ يوقد من شجرة مباركة، هذا التشبيه كأنه يدلّ على أن النور حتى نحافظ عليه مضيئاً يجب أن نحيطه بما يحفظه والفتيل الذي به نشعل النور إنما هو الآية الأولى في السورة هذه الآية الشديدة التي تحرك الناس لإضاءة مصباح مجتماعاتهم الصالحة بتحقيق الضمانات الأخلاقية حتى يبقى النور مشعّاً.

 

إضافة: بعد أن سمعت هذا الشرح كنت أصلّي العصر فجاءني خاطر بهذا التفسير: أنه من الممكن أن يكون القصد من الآية والله أعلم أن الإنسان هو المصباح والزجاجة هي المجتمع والمشكاة هي الأمة والفتيل هو تطبيق شرع الله الذي ينير أولاً الأنسان ثم ينعكس نوره على مجتمعه ثم على أمته فتكون مضيئة ومنيرة لغيرها من الأمم في أخلاقها وفي التزامها بشرع الله فلو صلح الفرد يصلح المجتمع وفي أخلاق الناس انعكاس على بعضهم البعض وعلى مجتماعاتهم هذا والله أعلم.

Stand in the garden and look down at the hellebore. It’s probably the ugliest of the early flowering plants which might explain why it always seems to hang its flowers in shame. Kneel in the garden and have a close look at the flowers and you see a thing of real beauty. Maybe it’s just being modest?

"Forget not that modesty is for a shield against the eye of the unclean.

And when the unclean shall be no more, what were modesty but a fetter and a fouling of the mind?

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."

My doctor said I should follow a prophylaxis to avoid any contamination proscribing me to train with some new abstraction works. (I believe he means I should abstract myself from unrilevant ridiculous issues :-) There me go! This is my new abstract :-)

>>> Do you think I can be saved? Or should I sew that bad person who wrote me an amount of falsities and insults, hoping to offend me at no avail?

While Flickr is inspecting the case, especially after having had two approvals (certified by screenshots) for the same abstract, followed by two removals of the same and because he allowed himself to disrespectfully land in my profile with no permission and publicly drop lies and falsities, informing he -fakely- banned me from a group I had already left the week before as tired by his multiple unjustified incorrectnesses (this sounds a retaliation because with my free will I unjoined his elitary group!), I will post here my new preparatory abstract exercize for the attention of my Flickr Friends, contacts & visitors. It's been very relaxing making it!

 

Thought of the day: those who abuse of a unauthorized power, lose any credibility.

As my contacts and followers know, I'm an admin too, besides simple member in a number of groups, but I've never seen such a sociopath behaviour from the sides of an admin, asserting elitary and racist statemens on his "mythical" groups that, for him, but just for him, are the best ever on Flickr, although you should see the pool, not very much supporting his self-congratulatory position.

And, see, isn't this assertion offensive towards all the other admins and moderators of active groups who do their very best as volunteers ? Isn't this offensive for all those smart artists who decided to not join his groups ?

To tell it all, I had joined his 2/3 groups thinking that my humble works, not being a digital manipulator expert, could indeed fit in a middle, middle-mediocre group for ordinary creativity.

 

I tried to open his eyes, and I did also because, apart approving continuosly my submissions and then frantically removing my pics even after days with the false accusation I bypass the pending queue (ridiculous as impossible).

In particular, my pic that was heavily attacked by his comment (and 2 RRR emails = rude, redundant & racist) can be seen at this link: flic.kr/p/2oFPxRy.

I don't appreciate that admin continuously tampering me and my profile sending me a wide variety of invites to other groups, notwithstanding I regularly deny his invites and told him I don't need and don't feel like to post in those groups, but, no no, there's nothing to do in front of ignorance.

 

So, Friends, heads up, when someone treat you with disrespect, no matter what his/her role is, beware and possibly leave those groups that, if administrated with malpractices, rudeness and disrespect, are surely groups you don't belong.

Furthermore, the Flickr Community Guidelines assert, that a member removal can occur only just after 3 warnings and I received none, instead I received an award by the same admin who then removed my pic inventing I have overpassed the pending queue. The same admin who, while he believes to be a true digital artist, wrote me he was not able to download and visualize the PNG screenshot of my notifications proving beyond doubts that he had indeed approved my pic. Wow! A true professional! A fantasy visionary!

If similar episodes should happen to you, be aware you have the possibility to flag and report both the group and the admin responsible of bad treatments or unfair removals.

 

Happy new week!

Aesthetics of imperfection

or

The modesty of the picture

 

(here on bush roots)

 

WASI-SABI .... an aesthetic concept from the Far East to perceive the nature of things. Wabi and Sabi are very closely related to Zen Buddhism.

 

WASI ... is the simplicity of things. Asymmetry, renunciation and naturalness. It also applies to asceticism.

 

SABI ... means to create a natural patina.

Sabi objects are authentic because they recognize three simple truths:

 

* Nothing remains

* nothing is complete

* and nothing is perfect.

 

======================================================

 

WASI-SABI .... ein ästhetisches Konzept aus Fernost, um das Wesen von Dingen wahrzunehmen. Wabi und Sabi sind sehr eng mit dem Zen-Buddhismus verwandt.

 

WASI ... ist die Einfachheit der Dinge. Asymmetrie, Verzicht und Natürlichkeit. Das gilt auch für die Askese.

 

SABI ... bedeutet, eine natürliche Patina zu erzeugen.

Sabi-Objekte sind authentisch, weil sie drei einfache Wahrheiten erkennen:

 

* Nichts bleibt

* nichts ist vollständig

* und nichts ist perfekt.

Coming out of the subway tonight, and all the way up the hill to my apartment, I noticed tons tons tons of broken glass on the sidewalk. Weird sh*t always goes down on Halloween, but I don't ever remember seeing so much broken glass. And this is very fine, slivery white glass, as if from street lamps or light bulbs.

 

The dogs are desperate to go out; I don't know how I'm going to keep their paws away from these fine shards.
