Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony
La felicità è quando le cose che pensi, le cose che dici e le cose che fai sono in completa armonia
Mahatma Gandhi
The We're Here! gang is visiting "I Lost my Marbles on Flickr" today. The group description includes pearls, so since I lost my marbles long ago, here are some pearls of wisdom.

Today, I totally stole this idea from a much cooler shot from Scott, but I told him so I think its okay...haha
This was actually pretty tough to get the piece falling like this, but I caught it about 4 times and just went with this one. Had to rush just a little bit, the Dolphins are beating Alya's Patriots right now and we are a house divided...haha
Anywho.... Enjoy. Hope I made you proud Scott. Nice topic today.

Recently I had the honor to photograph a man who will be a hundred years old in a couple of weeks... Hands have always fascinated me. This picture was living in my mind for a long time, ever since I planned these important images for the different family generations.
Edited with 'Serene' and Velvet sepia
In walking by the fireplace in our family room I noticed the light streaming in from the overhead sky light. I then noticed the figure on the mantle pointing and looking up into the light. Had to grab the camera and shoot.

I hate Christmas time and wishes time. I prefer to be blind deaf and dumb for a while . See you later.maybe
Human tongue cannot express the lightness, the clarity, the simplicity, the wonderful harmony which completely dispels all sense of heaviness…. A sea of light pours from above and dominates all this space, enclosed and yet free …. It creates a sense of inner transparency; the weightiness and limitations of the small and suffering self disappear; the self is gone, the soul is healed of it, losing itself in these arches and merging into them. It becomes the world: I am in the world and the world is in me…. This is indeed Sophia, the real unity of the world in the Logos, the coinherence of all with all, the world of divine ideas. It is Plato baptized by the Hellenic genius of Byzantium…. How true was our ancestors’ feeling in this temple, how right they were in saying that they did not know whether they were in heaven or on earth! Indeed, they were neither in heaven nor on earth, they were in St. Sophia—between the two: this is the metaxu of Plato’s philosophical intuition. St. Sophia is the last silent testimony to the future ages of the Greek genius: a revelation in stone.
-From an autobiographical essay called “Hagia Sophia,” cited in Andrew Louth, “Wisdom and the Russians: The Sophiology of Fr. Sergei Bulgakov,” in Where Shall Wisdom Be Found? Wisdom in the Bible, the Church, and the Contemporary World, ed. Stephen C. Barton (Edinburgh: T and T Clark, 1999), 169-81, at 178.
