Let us listen to one another, not merely with our ears, but with hearts willing to understand. Do not spend your days counting the faults of others, nor casting stones of judgment upon their wounds. For a single act of forgiveness can heal far more than a thousand words of condemnation. Where judgment builds walls, mercy opens doors; and where criticism deepens scars, compassion becomes the hand that helps another rise.

When the storm grows so dark that you can no longer find your path, lift your eyes to the heavens. For beyond the clouds, beyond the fury of the wind and rain, there is always a sacred light— quiet, unwavering, eternal— waiting to guide your steps through the darkness and lead you safely home.

When a flower is ready to bloom, she seeks neither permission nor approval. She does not ask the wind if she is worthy, nor the garden if the time is right. She simply unfolds her petals to the calling written within her nature. Her reward is not applause, but the quiet beauty she offers to the world— a beauty that, in time, becomes fruit, and a fruit that carries nourishment, sweetness, and joy for another soul. Thus she blooms, not for herself alone, but as a gentle gift to all who cross her path.

I did film it under the rain... holding the umbrella with one hand, and the camera with the other one... tried to be still like a tripod, while resisting the shivering cold through a double layer rain jacket... I did many walks under the rain, but this was the first time I do it for a purpose beside feeling good... I didn't win the competition to go somewhere colder, but won a Winter Music CD... Who knows maybe listening to music in a calm place like home, will make me feel the snow flakes falling on my head... at the end all feelings are generated in the same place wherever the stimulus is...

Paris Flowers What I love mainly about this city is an endless walk in the gardens, where the blooming flowers are raising their hands and asking you to kiss them, so they may warm their hearts and forget about the deadly winter...

With high winds, a powerful storm surge, and torrential rains, Cyclone Yasi churned the waters of the Coral Sea off Australia’s Queensland coast. On February 4, 2011, as the clouds began to clear, evidence of the storm’s violence lingered in the water. The normally clear, shallow water of the Great Barrier Reef was clouded with sediment brought to the surface in the turbulent water. Light reflects off the light-colored sediment, turning the ocean electric blue. Sections of the reef are visible amid the clouded water. The reef has well-defined shapes and is greener than its surroundings. The section of reef shown here is near Whitsunday Island National Park. The large image, which shows a wider area, reveals sediment in the water along much of the coast. From NASA Earth Observatory

How many cyclones, crazy storms and floods do we have to see and experience until we understand that we are in the end stage of carbon age, and the big changes in climate will stop us by force from hurting our environment... Our heart is with the people of Queensland who are paying for the mistakes of the whole humanity... and the big question is: who is next... or maybe what's next?

Toulouse In The Mirror I still remember that afternoon... it made me forget myself, the hidden pains and the threats that were struggling my heart... That's how God magnificently treated my instability... Toulouse... I will always remember your beauty, and the eternal friends that made me feel that I'm still a human being...
