“The only wisdom we can hope to acquire

Is the wisdom of humility.'' T S Eliot, Four Quartets (East Coker) poem

Macro Mondays : My Daily Routine

HMM to all!!

 

I firmly believe that religious practices and rituals add powerful dimension of symbol and meaning to one’s life. So, the most significant task in my daily routine is meditating for half an hour in the evening after offering flowers and lighting an oil lamp to Gautama Lord Buddha. The oil lamp represents the light of wisdom that illuminates the darkness and ignorance and flowers are symbolic of the impermanence of life.

An owl symbolizes wisdom and in these times we can all use a little bit of wisdom. This Siberian eagle owl is also a fantastic bird. Impressive appearance both sitting and in flight.

Wisdom sails with wind and time

James 1:5-6 King James Version (KJV)

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

We go way back in time, time

Through diamond eyes

We go running

Way back in time

Through diamond eyes

 

We gotta go back to the start

Back 'til we are back home

We gotta go back to the start

Back 'til we are back home

 

Tick-tock, tick-tock

Tick-tock tick

Where is the light

Are we meant to go down again?

We go down

 

Lightening strikes

Wisdom cries

It's an emergency, emergency

Conscious all night

No one's surprised

As long as we...emergency

Emergency, emergency

 

Wis-Wisdom cries

Wisdom cries

Wisdom cries

Wisdom cries

Wisdom cries

Wisdom cries

The forest makes your heart gentle.

You become one with it...

No place for greed or anger there.

- Pha Pachak

A Spoonful Of Wisdom...

 

Last September I did a bunch of knife, fork and spoon shots. This was one of them that I had taken but not posted until today.

 

It was one of those days where I was trapped inside due to rally bad weather and needed something to break the monotony of being home alone. I decided to spend a few hours with my grandmothers silverware set. Just trying to make something out of nothing

This ornamental kale with its free petal structure suggests to me an open heart to receive and give freely. It was a treat to see the lovely drops this morning.

Wisdom is knowing the right path to take.

Integrity is taking it.

It was a scene that made me go silent for a few seconds as if this stunning owl was about to convey to his audience the wise words they came to hear.

Given enough tea I could rule the world. Just not sure I'd want the responsibility.

So, the last animal I saw on the way out of the WNC Nature Center was the Great Horned Owl. Large, beautiful, silent. They're actually hoping slowly down to a feeder mouse, I do have photos of the owl eating it, but I decided against posting those. Beautiful bird, and while there are a few living in the woods around here, finding one out to take its photo... That's a different story.

Phnom Penh, Camboya

 

I

 

Este día cambió el curso de mis proyectos fotográficos en Camboya. Aunque tenía una idea aproximada de lo que quería hacer, no quise planear mi viaje para así dejarme llevar por los acontecimientos y la gente que encontrase en mi camino. Si buscas en la red lo que hacer o visitar en un país, terminarás por hacer y ver lo que todos han hecho y visto, y eso no es lo que andaba buscando.

 

Estaba conociendo la ciudad cuando me encontré con un templo budista, donde muchos monjes de alojan. Vi a dos monjes andando en dirección opuesta a mí, y aunque sabía que no sería una gran fotografía, pegué una carrera instintivamente para acercarme a ellos y disparar. Notaron mi presencia y se giraron en el momento en que disparaba con una gran sonrisa dibujada en su cara, algo muy característico en la mayoría de los monjes. Se acercaron a mí y empezaron a entablar una conversación en inglés, idioma en el que conseguían defenderse a duras penas… sin embargo, con paciencia y señales conseguimos comunicarnos durante una tarde entera. Me fascinó la paz y armonía que transpiraban, su semblante libre de cualquier muestra de defectos de carácter, eran dos personas muy distintas a lo que acostumbro a conocer, y me cautivó su interés por mí. Estuvimos haciendo una serie de fotografías al borde del río Mekong y paseamos por su orilla hasta llegar a un embarcadero, donde insistieron en invitarme a subir al barco para disfrutar el atardecer subidos en él.

 

Mi primer contacto con el budismo de Camboya me ayudó a coger la confianza que después se convertiría en mi aliada a la hora de retratar el budismo en este país, no solo eso, también hizo que decidiera invertir gran parte de mi tiempo en este proyecto. Aquí empezó mi amor por la gente de Camboya, que no ha hecho más que crecer cada día más. Es fantástico ver su sonrisa tan pura, y más aún sabiendo que hace tan solo 30 años que salieron de un genocidio donde perdieron a casi toda una generación.

 

Cuando desembarcamos, fuimos a sentarnos al césped que da al palacio real, junto con un buen amigo suyo que conducía un tuk tuk. Aquí recibí la última y más importante lección del día: se nos aproximó un pobre hombre llevándose la mano a la boca y diciendo “ñam ñam”, pidiéndonos de esta forma dinero para comer. Estaba acostumbrado a la vida de occidente, donde mucha gente te pide dinero y a veces debes decir que no si quieres llegar a fin de mes, por tanto de forma instintiva le dije que no. Fue el amigo de los monjes quien sacó un billete de su bolsillo y se lo dio; una persona que en un día de mucha suerte puede llegar a ganar 20 dólares. Por supuesto, sentí mucha vergüenza. Después de este acontecimiento me explicaron los monjes la situación de la gente sin dinero: no tienen dinero porque no tienen forma de conseguirlo, y si no se les echa un cable morirían de hambre. Les bastan 1000 reales para comer y cenar un arroz blanco, el equivalente a 25 céntimos.

 

Desde este día decidí llevar siempre billetes de 1000 reales para dar cuando alguien me pidiera, es sorprendente todo lo que podemos ayudar con lo que para nosotros supone bien poco.

The flower symbolism associated with the iris is faith, wisdom, cherished friendship, hope, valor, my compliments, promise in love, wisdom.

In the Victorian language of flowers, the iris signifies a "message."

The Iris symbolize intelligence, competence, and independence.

Giving someone an iris says "Your friendship means a lot to me."

Iris, Blue: Faith, hope

Iris, Purple: Wisdom, compliments

Iris, Yellow: Passion

Iris, White: Purity

The ancient scriptural writings say that the wisdom from above is first of all pure. Hmmm, that sounds like a challenge. I want to be pure. Pure in heart, pure in thought, pure in word and deed. I think it is a challenge to be those things. The scriptures help me in my attempt to live this way. Seeing the snow yesterday and today makes me think about my goal to have a pure heart that is white as snow and full of love for God and for people. I hope that everyone has a purely delightful weekend. :)

It's called "Wisdom Line", written in large text on the side - also the name of an excellent David Bridie album.

According to the old says the Orchird Island Canoe building technique involved no modern tools or equipment. The canoe itself would never drowned and move forward with less friction. All these ancient survivial wisdom were handled hundreds years ago from outsider without any written scripts.
