Inner Peace by Daniela M. Casalla
WALKING MEDITATION Take my hand. / We will walk. / We will only walk. / We will enjoy our walk / without thinking of arriving anywhere. / Walk peacefully. / Walk happily. / Our walk is a peace walk. / Our walk is a happiness walk. Then we learn / that there is no peace walk; / that peace is the walk; / that there is no happiness walk; / that happiness is the walk. / We walk for ourselves. / We walk for everyone / always hand in hand. Walk and touch peace every moment. / Walk and touch happiness every moment. / Each step brings a fresh breeze. / Each step makes a flower bloom under our feet. / Kiss the Earth with your feet. / Print on Earth your love and happiness. Earth will be safe / when we feel in us enough safety. / - Thich Nhat Hanh -

Hands study 2 by maka1967
It’s in a pavilion in a park, with a very dark figure of some old deity inside. Traditionally, “Fu” (“material blessing”), “Lu” (“high posts and salaries”. In the stratified social system, even if common people were wealthy, they still belonged to lower strata. In order to have a high position, people had to pursue the official career.), and “Shou” (“longevity”) were the aim of life for most people in China. Chinese people pasted up the words of “Fu”, “Lu”, and “Shou” on their doors. Especially, the word of “Fu” must be upside down，for “being upside down” was homophonic with “arriving” in Chinese, putting “Fu” upside down meant “the arriving of fortune”. In the past, in order to pray for blessing, Chinese people enshrined the Star Trinity of Luck (the Star of Material Blessing, the Star of Prosperity, and the Star of Longevity) and offered sacrifices to them throughout the year. The Star of Material Blessing referred to Jupiter. Ancient people believed it took charge of agriculture, hence it was very important for the material blessing of the rural society. The Star of Prosperity referred to the furthest star of the Big Dipper. It’s believed as the star in charge of high official positions and salaries. The Star of Longevity referred to Jiao and Kang of the Lunar Mansions, which could seldom be seen from the northern part of China. The worship of “Fu”, “Lu”, and “Shou” still prevails today in China. Chinese people’s worship of deities often had utilitarian inclination. As a result of this, Chinese don’t have any unified religion. The major characteristics of worship are utilitarianism and diversification. According to the ancient code, “worship those whose law bestowed bounties to the people; worship those who die in the diligent performance of their duties; worship those whose work stabled the nation; worship those that can defend mortal malady; and, worship those that can fight calamities”. Consequently, temples to emperors and kings, and to wise men were built one after another, and Taoist and Buddhist temples for praying for blessing and protection spread all over the country. The deities were numerous, in order not to offend any of them, some families wrote on the memorial tablets at their homes: “Heaven and Earth and Sovereigns and Relatives and Mentors.”

Encore by Glennis Siverson
Image by photographer Glennis Siverson, www.glennisphotos.com. This started out as a photograph of a concert audience bathed in orange light, with all the hands silhouetted in black. I’m learning how to use Photoshop now, so was experimenting with different filters and adjustments, resulting in the image you see here.
