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.
Thanks for your visit and comments! Would you like to use my photo on the web or print? Just ask :-)

This wise old owl was perched in a large pine tree in central campus at the local University. He gazed tolerantly at all the passing students, a few photographers and a flock of noisy crows, only wanting to be left in peace to snooze and contemplate life.
I have never had such an easy photography session with a Great Horned Owl.

Captured from the Spirit Trail in North Vancouver, BC, Canada, the colourful Float Homes feature waterfront living with ocean or river views. In addition, from these homes sightings of Blue Herons, sea lions, bald eagles and many other forms of wildlife are quite common.
The public art installation on the right called Gateway to Ancient Wisdom created by Wade Baker, is a contemporary stainless steel and red cedar sculpture representing the concept of "entering traditional territory". It welcomes Spirit Trail users as they enter Mosquito Creek Marina and Squamish Nation land from the North Vancouver waterfront. Google
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.

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. :)

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.
Struggled to create or find some simple wise words when I remembered this coin bought from Disney Springs years ago!
Was also determined not to add the words afterwards, been doing that all day in my real job!
The cathedral is named after the 6th-century Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom) cathedral in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul), which was dedicated to the Holy Wisdom rather than to a specific saint named Sophia. The first foundations were laid in 1037 or 1011, but the cathedral took two decades to complete. According to one theory, Yaroslav the Wise sponsored the construction of the Saint Sophia Cathedral in 1037 to celebrate his decisive victory over the nomadic Pechenegs in 1036 (who thereafter were never a threat to Kyiv).
The grand Cathedral of St. Sophia the Wisdom of God has already been located in the historical center of ancient Kyiv for one thousand years. It is the most ancient Christian church that is fully preserved in the East Slavic area. Being born in the era of Christianization of Rus’ it became the cradle of Kyivan Christianity, statehood and culture, development of which was carried out under the sign of Sophia the Wisdom, which patrons the world. Saint Sophia the Wisdom of God, after whom the cathedral was named, is one of the fundamental ideologemes of Eastern Christianity. It is associated with the image of sovereign statehood wisely kept by God. The idea of Saint Sophia had been preserved as a basis of spiritual life of the entire population for centuries. The humanity can’t exist without this idea as a Christian nation, as a Church, because the idea of St. Sophia was identified with the wisdom of new Christian religion.
