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 FAVES

ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK

 

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.

 

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.

I saw this beautiful display of homegrown tomatoes at a local grocery store today. Being a foodie (and a photographer) I had to stop and take a photo. There's nothing like a fresh juicy tomato! And you better believe I bought a couple too. 😁

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.

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. :)

Have a wonderful weekend to all my flickr friends!!

I was just preparing this post when I found out someone dear to me and my family, just passed away this morning. Couldn´t find a better photo to dedicate to him. To Professor Rui Morgado, may your road of wisdom and search never come to an end.
