The Easter week at Shree Peetha Nilaya was blessed with blue skies, warm sun, and flowers and trees blossoming everywhere. Everything seemed to reflect the theme of new beginnings. Easter is an intense focus on God and God's plan, and everyone present honoured and celebrated this through scripture, song, self-reflection and community. Finishing with the traditional midnight/early morning singing and dancing, and the ever-popular Easter Sunday lunch, it was a powerful way to recognise spiritual transformation and a new understanding of life.

Daisy, Jen and I found this reflective dome in the trash last week. This week it is in Daisy's garden.
I got into doing photography a few years ago for a month or two. I use to set up a blackbox ( a simple cardboard box painted black) Place objects into it.. mostly reflective ones, shine lights in and just take pictures.
This is my self portrait. The only photo of myself I am happy with. I feel its "me".
I instantly see things in this others never do. I see a scarey distorted face of a male, I can even see his mouth is slightly parted and his upper teeth showing. I see a manequin in a position that i painted years before. I see the face of the wind blowing through its nostrils with puffed out cheeks in the smaller magnifying glass.
The hand reflection i did photoshop in though from another blackbox shot. Hands are important to me =)
I really should do this again oneday.. I loved taking shots of reflections
I hope to pin my kids down long enough and the new guy in my life.. and get them to pose .. so each of our faces are caught in its own bubble reflection. Its really the only sort of family portrait i could put up with on the wall. =) They make me cringe
I was experimenting when I stumbled upon this idea :) I held my
glasses to the screen and voila lol Instant fun. I need to rework the idea though and get better contrast.
While Fabiola and I were covering the National Cycling Olimpic Games taking place in Aguascalientes I found this guy with such cool refleting sunglasses so I seized my chance.

Доверие: "Вярвай в себе си; всяко сърце пулсира в този ритъм." - Ралф Уолдо Емерсън.
Доверието в себе си е връщане към собствените ти инстинкти, които са в пълно съзвучие със собствените ти интереси.

I found a reason to put this in my blog.
An overnight solo in the mountains leaves you with alot of time for quiet contemplation and self reflection. Its an almost peaceful experience. But soon enough, feelings of respect and fear for the forces of nature take over as the howelling sub zero winds outside hammers my meager shelter.
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright.
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

“My subjects will always be fragments of myself because the nature of art is projection, whether or not it’s intentional.” Gabi by Christine Wu (3/5)
Perspectives Charter Schools conducted a Chicago Ideas Week Lab introducing the schools’ A Disciplined Life® (ADL) education model to the general public, and teaching them how to apply social emotional learning (SEL) in their own lives.
Students led up to 50 participants in an ADL class on Thursday, October 16 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Perspectives Rodney D. Joslin campus, 1930 S. Archer Ave. Participants engaged in rigorous discussion and self-reflection like Perspectives students do every day.
A Disciplined Life is a toolbox that teaches students how to be their best selves, cultivate healthy relationships, make informed decisions and become ethical, conscientious leaders. The curriculum was developed by Perspectives’ founders Diana Shulla-Cose, president of Perspectives, and Kim Day, the chief education officer.
“People will come away with a better understanding of social emotional learning and what students in inner-city schools are capable of,” said Rhonda Hopps, Perspectives’ chief executive officer. “We will inspire them to practice the 26 principles of A Disciplined Life to raise their level of fulfillment and civic engagement to drive positive social change.”
For one week, October 13-19, Chicago Ideas Week brings together some of the world’s most outstanding thinkers, inventors, leaders and creators to present their ideas and inspire the innovations of tomorrow. It is a platform based on sharing big ideas and making big things happen. Perspectives students make no small plans. Last June, student leaders organized a peace march down State Street on the South Side to express their hopes for a violence-free summer. More than 2,000 Perspectives students were joined by business and civic leaders, and the event was covered by some 30 media outlets.
Chicago Ideas Week Labs give people a chance to explore the best of Chicago, through exclusive access, behind-the-scenes experiences that give them a glimpse of the inner workings of businesses and institutions that are otherwise unavailable to the public.
Hopps, Shulla-Cose and Day will be in attendance during the lab.
Founded in 1997 by two public school teachers, Perspectives Charter Schools is a network of five open-enrollment public schools on the South Side, serving nearly 2,200 students. Perspectives prepares students for college and for life with its A Disciplined Life® education model that combines academic rigor with a focus on character development. Despite coming from some of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods in Chicago, Perspectives students graduate from high school, enroll in college, and persist towards graduation at rates above the national average.

for 365 and FGR invades self reflection.
Ghosts were never something I put a whole lot of stock in. Then my dad passed away and the weirdest things started happening at my mom's house. It took me a while to actually step across the line and confess to anyone that I believe he was there for a bit after he died. It makes me sound like a crazy lunatic. Maybe it is just wishful thinking? Maybe it was just coincidence? Maybe it was just a way to make myself feel better about missing him so much?
Or maybe he really was there.
"Self-reflection,prayer,rituals, meditation and other spiritual practices have the power to release the "life force" in the deepest levels of the human psyche, levels that secular interventions cannot reach. In Native American culture this is seen through their respect and love for the world around them."
This was an exert from one of my many psych essays, how does this correlate to the photo above?
Easy, see photography is my sort of self reflection, a time for prayer, and meditation all at once. Through it, I reach that sense of self and fight through the ego to the most sacred part of the human mind. Just like the Natives love their earth, its beauty and its gifts; I wonder each day how this world never ceases to be any more perfect while surrounded by humanly imperfection and destruction. In these moments is when love can be felt in its truest nature, you feel one with the world. You reach nirvana.
On another note, I need new lenses and a good camera cleaning.
