Me
from john welwood:
“forget about enlightenment. sit down wherever you are and listen to the wind that is singing in your veins. feel the love, the longing, and the fear in your bones. open your heart to who you are, right now, not who you would like to be. not the saint you’re striving to become. but the being right here before you, inside you, around you. all of you is holy. you’re already more and less than whatever you can know. breathe out, look in, let go.”
"there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock.
people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love.
people just are not good to each other
one on one.
the rich are not good to the rich
the poor are not good to the poor.
we are afraid.
our educational system tells us
that we can all be
big-ass winners.
it hasn't told us
about the gutters
or the suicides.
or the terror of one person
aching in one place
alone
untouched
unspoken to
watering a plant."
— Charles Bukowski

in our culture of busyness and distraction, important things get lost: compassion, creativity, and presence. when i'm in a rush or lost in thoughts, i more easily box people into "other." but when i pause, i see our interconnection. it's not my pain or your pain, it's just pain. i can breathe in the collective pain, and breathe out love, acceptance, and compassion—compassion for myself, for friends, for strangers; compassion for the world.
courage means different things to different people. and its meaning can change with the situation. yet i think courage, too often, is associated with strength and armor. to me, courage means letting down my guard; being vulnerable and true; staying open to whatever arises. courage isn't about fighting; it’s about surrendering in a brave way—showing up with an open heart; cultivating compassion; sharing the raw places; letting love in.
tomorrow, mark and i leave for iowa. six days after my mom’s death, we celebrate her life within the framework of a funeral. part of my healing is to speak at her service—to speak from my unguarded heart.
thank you, flickr friends, for your love and support. next week, i’ll catch up with you all—with your beautiful, unique ways of seeing the world. until then, i rest in your good wishes. may we all find more moments of genuine courage.

Answer : Truncated Domes. They are a tactile warning surface for the sight impaired. They are generally located on the ground at curb ramps, transit platforms and hazardous vehicle ways.
Well, this does it. I have now officially depleted my shots from my wonderful morning shooting on Institute Road here in Ohio.
It's back to Texas for us in the morning.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and a Happy Fence Friday.
This was taken at Picacho Peak State Park in Arizona. My friend, BillyZ and I went out with a strobe, soft box and a reflector one afternoon to exploit nature stuff. This is the skeleton of a saguaro cactus that was decaying slowly in the Arizona desert.
Lighting stuff: Lit with a Yongnuo 560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box from camera left at 10 o'clock to create the side lighting that reveals shapes and textures. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. Fill light came from a reflector on the right side.
Other pictures that I've taken of cactus are in my Cactus and Succulents album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157633383093236/
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant album. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
