The Origin
When I saw this prayer, written by an unknown author, at the Carmelite monastery where I do volunteer work, I knew I had to incorporate it into an image and offer its consoling words to those who are suffering from Alzheimer’s as well as to family, friends, and medical personnel who care for those afflicted with this disease. I chose an image of a cloud-filled sky as the sun was setting because those with Alzheimer’s are largely in the sunset of their lives and have to contend with many issues that cloud their lives. Prayer for an Alzheimer’s Sufferer Please grant my visitors tolerance for my confusion, / Forgiveness for my irrationality, / and the strength to walk with me / Into the mist of memory my world has become. Please let them take my hand and stay awhile / Even though I seem unaware of their presence. / Help them to know how their strength and loving care / Will drift slowly into the days to come / Just when I need it most. Let them know when I don’t recognize them / that I will . . . I will. / Keep their hearts free from sorrow for me / For my sorrow when it comes only lasts a moment – / then it’s gone. And finally please let them know / how very much their visits mean, / How, even through this relentless mystery, / I can still feel the love. Amen
I just Love this shot! There is a true sense of masculinity as well as the ability to be vulnerable. It is just the Epitome of the Paul I have come to know.

My interpretation for Robert’s post… / / For every girl who is tired of acting weak when she is strong, there is a boy tired of appearing strong when he feels vulnerable. / / For every boy who is burdened with the constant expectation of knowing everything, there is a girl tired of people not trusting her intellegence. / / For every girl who is tired of being called over-sensitive, there is a boy who fears to be gentle, to weep. / / For every boy for whome competition is the only way to prove his masculinity, there is a girl who is called unfeminine when she competes. / / For every girl who throws out her e-z bake oven, there is a boy who wishes to find one. / / For every boy struggling not to let advertising dictate his desires, there is a girl facing the ad industry’s attacks on her self-esteem. / / For every girl who takes a step towards her liberation, there is a boy who finds the step to freedom a little easier.

Francois’ Langur ~ Trachypithecus francoisi (Pousargues, 1898) IUCN Red List vulnerable species The Francois’ Langur or Francois’ Leaf Monkey (Trachypithecus francoisi) is a species of lutung and the type species of its species group. The species is distributed from Southwestern China to northeastern Vietnam. Agile and cheeky, Francois’ Langur live in highland forests where they forage for a variety of food sources. Adult Francois’ langurs have a long, black, silky coat with a white band of cheek fur and can be distinguished from the other species in Primate Forest by the pointed crests of hair on their heads. Francois’ langur babies, in stark contrast, are Babies are born coloured a deep apricot. It is believed that the orange coloration protects the babies by helping them blend in with the foliage in the tree canopies of their natural habitat in Vietnam, southeast China and central Laos. Unfortunately, the remaining wild Francois’ langur populations are endangered due to habitat loss from deforestation, human encroachment and hunting.
