“We are fragile creatures, and it is from this weakness, not despite it, that we discover the possibility of true joy.”

Quote ― Desmond Tutu

We had some 'wet' snow falling this morning, but it melted away immediately …...

Happy Weekend :-))

Softness is not a weakness,

it takes courage to remain delicate in a world so cruel !!

I have a weakness for backlit leaves, and when they're as beautiful as this one I have to go with it.

I think this one is a sycamore.

Part of getting through life is accepting, and dealing with, our weaknesses. Which doesn't mean they aren't still a pain in the butt.

Me, I'm over-sensitive to all kinds of sensory input - and input affecting my sensors. For instance, even in August in our constant ocean breezes, I daren't go outside without my ears covered.

This is, of course, a huuuge pain. When everyone else is out in shorts and bathing suits, I'm sweating with a big fleecy band around my head. It sucks, but the alternative (excruciating ear aches) sucks a whole lot worse.

I'm also overly sensitive to noise. And bright light. Especially bright flashing light that hits my eyes unexpectedly. So... imagine how much fun I am as a companion at a rawk show. Normally I take along ear plugs. Last night I forgot.

I guess I was lulled into complacency by the fact that the show was at a theatre. A play house. A place I last attended in my teens, when I saw some Shakespearean production there. So yeah... I went in plugless. And immediately regretted it. Still... I was up for enjoying myself... until the %$(*&$%(&ing light show started.

I can't imagine whose idea it was to flash big spotlights directly into the audience's eyes repeatedly throughout the night. Probably the same wise person who decided a super-bright sign behind the band... illuminated by 10,000 1,000 watt bulbs... was also a very good thing to flash repeatedly in the audience's eyes.

What really amazed me was that no one else seemed bothered. Whereas I was in several sorts of agony all night.

The bright flashing lights. Fuck, man. I thought I was gonna have a seizure or something. I ended up spending most of the night doubled over with my head in my lap, eyes closed, hands clamped over my face. Every time I tried to enjoy actually watching the band... zappo! Unexpected blasts of super-bright white light set off pinball explosions in my brain.

So today is pretty much a write-off. Migraine city, man.

And I HATE HATE HATE that my body is so delicate.

I'm from sturdy peasant stock. Why am I so fragile? Why do things that normal people take in stride disable me?

Sorry for the whining self-pity. Kee-rist. At least I know, without a doubt, that I am now too old for rawk shows. Goodbye youth. Your time has come and gone. From now on I'll just satisfy myself by listening to records at home.

i am having some weakness for Romans, and Greeks lately....

my new (long) series coming up I guess :)

I'm always moving. and when i am still i feel restless.

View On Black

I'm beginning to realize some things. like...

its okay to do nothing for just a moment.

and most of the time i feel guilty for not being productive because my body has been trained to constantly be occupied. but in those moments when i am still, if i set aside my restlessness, sometimes i can really....just breathe.

my heart is really weak. but so much stronger than i think it is.

spending time with the creator of the universe is something i struggle with.

even though when i do, its the most beautiful, lavishing moments of my life. and i'm not just talking about reading the bible, but actually just, marveling over him and what he has created, and worshiping him through song, or art, or photographs.

aren't taste buds the most amazing thing? i mean, why do we even need them but to enjoy and experience the Earth's nourishment.

My weakness is Chocolate Biscuits, my wife always knows when I have been eating them....... Because of all those pesky Crumbs!

”Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.”

― Khalil Gibran ―

“With all of the bad things that are happening in the world right now, I think we need a message of togetherness and true unity. I believe that starts with personal reflection and then we can find kindness toward each other.”

― Marielle Heller ―

“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.”

― Roy T. Bennett ―

Friends understand you on a deeper level. They know your quirks, strengths, and weaknesses. They accept you for who you are.

Lexi and Autumn have celebrated my achievements ,provided a shoulder to lean on during tough times and offer emotional support and guidance.

Most recently we've found ways to listen to each while also dancing at the same time which has helped in ways, that I know they understand.

I cherish the time throughout the years that we have spent together. I love you girls!

And I'll believe in grace and choice

And I know perhaps my heart is farce

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

But they know me better than that

They know me better than that

They know my weaknesses

I never tried to hide them

They know my weaknesses

I never denied them

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

How can a view become so twisted

How can a view become so twisted

They know my weaknesses

I never tried to hide them

They know my weaknesses

You tried them

I get so carried away

You brought me down to earth

I thought we had something precious

Now I know what it's worth

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

I've never felt so disappointed

Never felt so disappointed

They know my weaknesses

I never tried to hide them

They know my weaknesses

Thought that you liked them

They know me better than that

I loved the Bloom of Spring Campaign and I said a big YES! Lot's of ideas rushing in my head, but when the time came to sit down and try to put them into practice.... nothing, I guess that's why it's a challenge! hahaha

I had in mind doing something, simple, very white and minimal, and as you can see... nop... I can't help it! water and flowers are my weakness ♥

This picture is the first one I did, but somehow I wasn't convinced about it, so I opened the angle and it became blogpost. Funny thing, now that both pictures are done I'm liking this one better! hahaha, I'm a gemini, indecisive, but I'm a perfectionist and very few times I finish editing a picture feeling confident it's "ready", sorry!

I've added the credits of what I was wearing in my entry for the Pryce: Bloom Spring Campaign, in case someone is curious :)

I hope you like it! ♥

until you come face to face with your greatest weakness.

—Susan Gale

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but

of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.

They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.

~ Washington Irving

Thoughts from a Pagoda

Sweeping the yard

Cutting the flowers

Preparing prayer seats

Meditating

Facing my own fears and weaknesses

Embracing them with kindness

Conversation with Buddha

Reading the Sutra

Helping for dinner

Eating a bowl of rice

Enjoying each grain of rice one by one

Being grateful for the sun, clouds, rain, for the hardworking hands of the rice farmers

Feeling the cycle of life

Consciously drinking a sip of cool water

Closing my eyes

Feeling the refreshing waters of life

Understanding how little it takes to be happy

Understanding how unimportant I am and how much that can mean

Watching the night lay its soft blanket over the sun

Closing my eyes silently, tired but happy and being fulfilled

Feeling gratefulness for being a small part of life

Soon I will be back again

In the oversaturated, blind everyday life

Like a little snowball

Lovingly and carefully shaped by gentle hands with fresh snow

Clean and softly formed crystals

Then rolling down the hill of life

Faster and faster, unstoppable

Accumulating stones, dirt, brushwood

Losing the original shape and purity

To arrive deformed at the bottom

To search my soul again

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons

Finally content with a past I regret

I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness

For once, I'm at peace with myself

I've been burdened with blame

Trapped in the past for too long

I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces

Each one is different, but they're always the same

They mean me no harm, but it's time that I face it

They'll never allow me to change

But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
