"Horses carry the Wisdom of Healing in their hearts and offer it to any humans who possess the Humility to Listen."
"Some of my best friends never say a word at all"

“Seek out a tree and let it teach you stillness.”
― Eckhart Tolle ―
Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed. Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-conceptual intelligence within you. Let stillness direct your words and actions.
― Eckhart Tolle ―

Geel is ook de kleur van de geest en de communicatie. ... In de magie gebruikt men deze kleur om positieve veranderingen aan te brengen in de loopbaan en is ook de spirituele kleur van het Boeddhisme. In de magie staat geel voor, wijsheid, bescherming, leren, reizen, zelfvertrouwen, studie, communicatie en de geest.

Yellow is also the color of the mind and communication. ... In magic, this color is used to make positive changes in career and is also the spiritual color of Buddhism. In magic, yellow stands for, wisdom, protection, learning, travel, self-confidence, study, communication and the mind.
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.
The forest makes your heart gentle.
You become one with it...
No place for greed or anger there.
- Pha Pachak

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 says we are nothing
Love says we are everything
Between these two our life flows

THE SEEKER
I am in a house, I know it well, but I have never been there before. There is no light, just me. The halls are empty, it is without life, without the things to bring it to life, no pictures, no tables, no chairs. It is a bleak house, dark, shadows, and even the light that seeps through the cracks, is dark. In the middle of the room there is foreboding, it is under the floor. I feel my hair stand on end.
I look to the door, the door, into which one must never go.
I stand and know that I can't run, I can't hide, because the dark of the house, is outside too. And I know it's time to leave, but I find myself walking, walking toward the door, the door that I must never open, as it leads to the room, the room into which one must never go.
I am sweating, I want to call out, I am trying to scream, it's primal, but there is no sound, there is no voice. I am unable to call for help. I try to move my arms, but they are frozen.
I am though the door, the room that vibrates with fear, darkness - something is moving in the secret passage, the secret passage that lies beyond the room. It is a narrow corridor, and I am bending to walk into the passage, and it leads to a room above the house, in the attic, I feel the cold, it is icy, and I fear for my very soul - I feel the negative energy that seeping into my skin. I am trying to shout, trying to leave, trying to turn away, wanting to run. A shape emerges out of the wall, it comes to me, draining all the goodness from me, and I feel terrible fear and dread, I want to fight it, but I am helpless, I am powerless, I can't move, but I know now, I must face it, I must fight for my life, and every fibre in me is screaming - and I remember .
I have been here before, and it is always the same, when the presence comes I wake up screaming and sweating, my pulse is racing. I have been through this many times before, and I am shaking and quaking, but I realize - despite these confrontations - I do not wake up dead, just terrified, and I begin to feel that perhaps, perhaps, these is no danger here. I have spent nights telling myself before I fall asleep that if this dream comes to me again, meet fear with love.
Now I know I was dreaming. I am out of the icy house. I am awake, lying in my bed. I am calmer now, I try to move, but nothing happens. I can't move anything, but I can see my room, and I feel a rising panic, and I feel the icy cold. There is someone standing at the end of my bed, staring at me. I am trying to scream and move my arms, to wake up, nothing happens. I see him standing clearly in my room, he has followed me here .
Now I will need to fight, but I can’t move, and he can, what are the rules in this situation, I am powerless. It is terrifying. Move !, Move !, Run ! Nothing. Then I remember “Do not get angry, that gives it power”. I stop struggling, start to calm down. He isn’t moving or doing anything, he never has, he just stands there.
"Hi", I think to myself.
"Can you hear me" it says in a sweet peaceful voice.
Oh that's great, he isn't even hostile, he’s doing his best not to terrify me and here I am like a wild animal, scared of the unknown, that's just great. He has been coming to talk to me, to give me wisdom -but his presence has seemed so terrifying , that he can’t even talk to me. I guess he has been coming and waiting patiently for me to meet him with love, not anger and fear. Well this is embarrassing.
I didn't expect a dialog, and I am now wanting to wake up. It's not fear this time, this guy had a very calm and gentle voice, but James Bond just climbed through my window and I sensed things were only going to go downhill from here.
Note to self, you got to do something about the quality of your dreams - oh, and thanks for the lesson in love and fear.
PS - The next day, many, many years ago - we went swimming with friends in mountain pools. The river water in Africa is dark and you can’t even see your feet in the water. We swam across a large, deep pool. I jumped into a big pothole at the end of the pool. There was a waterfall crashing into one side of it and the sandy bottom felt soothing on my feet. No one else wanted to jump in, and I realized, I had forgotten to be scared. The dream sequence has never returned.
PPS – Lucid dreaming is common, and trying to wake up during a nightmare is too – the immobility comes from your body preventing you from sleepwalking in response to dream situations – so it can feel disturbing while dreaming, but it is a good self preservation mechanism that is there to protect you from real harm. So the fear is gone and I am happy to dream on. And I work with dreams and treat them as an active state. If something is bugging you, think about it before you sleep, it can help resolve while you are off to never, never land

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. :)

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!

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.

Real knowledge, or what is better called wisdom, is not a triumph over mystery but a rapport with the mystery—and with the meaning for which it stands.
-Approaching God, The Way of Abraham Joshua Heschel, John C. Merkle
Dante had become a not unfamiliar figure in Verona. Boccaccio tells of several Veronese ladies who saw him walking by one day. They were struck and a little frightened by his appearance, his face fixed in gloom and smudged as though by soot, his beard bristling as though tinged with fire. He seemed, they thought, a character emerging from his own Inferno.
-R. W. B. Lewis, Dante; A Life
