The sky was bright when I arrived home today. This is the face of the sky between the reeds that I took with the cellphone camera.
Actually, I want to show the face of the sky from another place very far from my house, the face of the sky in another province that I visited for a few days yesterday, unfortunately, I have forgotten to take the camera that I left with my youngest sister. She is still there with her husband while I have to go home first because there are things I need to do tomorrow Monday.
I think I have been in a hurry when packing for various reasons. Well, this is a good lesson for me, after all, it’s just lagging behind because I forgot and was in a hurry, not lost.

It does happen sometimes.
Thanks for the compliment, dear friend.
Hmmm… It seems that you have a strong memory so you don’t need to feel bothered with the event of being left behind something.
Oo… At first, I thought you were talking about how you remember things so you never left something somewhere…
Well, I understand what you think. I myself, as I often say, are only looking for fun from friendship here and don’t think too much about transactions or rewards as a result because that’s not what I’m looking for. Maybe this can sound like a hypocrite but that’s the truth. I like to write, and I am happy that someone is willing to read my writing, and I understand that in order for someone to read my writing, I also have to be willing to read other people’s writings.
I know that not everyone replies to my activities on their posts but I don’t really care because I also know that everyone as a user has different reasons, interests, motives, and likes. But because of time constraints, in the end, I will only prioritize friends who prefer to interact, and that’s why I feel often in debt if I haven’t had time to visit.
Wow! You pour a lot of things here, dear friend. First, because you often visit my posts, I think you understand the essence of my post quite generally; esoteric things, spirituality, mysticism, duality, wisdom etc. Transactions are part of duality, and one of them is giving and receiving, as well as rewards and punishments. Transactional is our way of playing in this world of duality, which even though I try to limit myself to thinking, oriented and playing within that paradigm, still, it is inevitable. As I said, so that my writing is read by people, then I also have to be willing to read and comment on people’s writing, that’s the game and the consequences, but I never ask people to read or comment on my writing, in other words, I don’t “sell” my visit or comment so that people do the same thing. Not transactional or sincere is a paradigm that I want to hold firmly in a certain way, and I want to test my will or principle here, in Virily.
So, I don’t interpret your comment as transactional but reveal a general tendency where the paradigm “If I give you then you also have to give to me”. You give me rewards because I also give to you, that’s what I feel as debt to others or you, and that’s our similarity, but I don’t put that position on others, I don’t expect people to feel in debt to me, and that’s their business. That’s what I mean by transactions, and that’s what I want to stay away from my mind.
It is true, that visits and comments give me, us, some points that are worth $ but, again that is not my motive. IMHO, interaction is far more meaningful than 10-20 $ a month, apart from the “reality” that there is no true friendship here. I will not feel loss if I don’t get the 10-20 $ but I would be sad to lose the pleasure of interacting here. As an explanation, there are quite a lot of friends here (and from some similar platforms that have died), whether they are still active or non-active user here, they still always interact with me via email. We discuss their writing on certain social media or blogs (because I rarely show myself there), and of course, it is without Virils.
So, I agree with you that it’s quite strange if someone is looking for “friendship” but doesn’t interact much.
I’m glad we can understand each other better and don’t feel bothered, and hopefully, this can be understood as an explanation of my paradigm as a user and friend in Virily.
I have read all your replies and I am very grateful for all your rewards for me here.

Thanks for downvote this post, dear Pfarelo…?
I hate when that happens. The strange thing is often when I look for something else that I lost I find the old thing that was misplaced. Yikes!
Ha… sometimes I experience that kind of thing too…
I lost many things because I was distracted or simply forgot…
Hopefully, I can find all of your lost belonging.
Yes, I always forgot but immediately it automatically come to my mind.
That means your memory is very strong, dear friend.
When I went to Colorado for a wedding a few years ago I left my dress, and had to spend a lot of money to ship it to Denver lol. Not funny at the time, but have to laugh at it now.
Agreeee… When an incident like that happens, we must feel upset but it will be different when it has passed.
Out of sight, out of mind!
There was a time in my life when I traveled. I would leave Sunday night or Monday very early in the morning and return late Thursday or early Friday.
I kept a suitcase packed so I wouldn’t forget the things I needed.
Your discipline is amazing, Doc!
My problem yesterday was to postpone parting with my sister to immediately pick up items at the hotel and leave for the airport.
It was the only way I could survive then.
Now, when I travel it is with my wife, i am not panicked if I forget something.
I understand, Doc.
That’s good if you have someone to back up! Luckily I never panicked when I lost something.
The image looks great. The things I have left due to being in a hurry are my baseball caps and one doctor’s order to have my foot placed in a boot due to the aging process on my arch of my foot.
So your baseball caps are left behind in the doctor’s office?
No just usually a book that I was reading while waiting for my appointment with the doctors.
Then where have your baseball caps been left?
I usually leave them at home.
Gosh. I’m glad that you don’t lose your baseball caps.
They are important to me. Especially my Costa Rica baseball cap which was given to me as a gift from my sister who visited that nation on vacation last year.
Wow! That must be very special!
The Costa Rica cap is one my favorites.
I’m glad your favorite cap is safe with you.
It is safe and sound at home.
Great perspective, quite often when I search for something I find something else I lost
Yes, sometimes I experience that kind of thing too…
Beautiful sky picture. And I often forget something. Dear friend, do not be burdened with this. Things begin to happen over the years ?
Thank you for your compliment and support, dear Vidocka. I just remember that I’ve lost my camera several times, even though it was stolen.
You are always welcome ?
I am one of those people who often forget things. That’s why I would set reminders on my phone and make use of stick-on papers as a sort of reminder.
That is a good way to remind schedules or else, but sometimes it’s hard to remind us that we have placed or entrusted something to others.
Sounds like you have too much going on at one time perhaps. Looking forward to more photos.
Yes, I too enjoyed the time together with my youngest sister and her husband on a beach while my flight schedule was approaching…
That sounds like a lovely time for sure. Lucky you!
Yes, and I have been several times late for such reasons and left behind by flight…
This happens to me many times so that I do not even seize anymore … the picture is wonderful, dear Albert
I have lost my camera several times, and everything was stolen. Luckily this time the case is different. Thanks for the compliment, dear friend.
It does not happen to me very often, but it happens. Three weeks ago I forgot my glasses at home. When I arrived at the job, I understood. Okay, the lady I work with has a diopter glasses collection. And I found some. The photo is very good. It is made from the bottom up. From Earth to Heaven.
I am happy that it doesn’t happen often to you, dear Elenka.
The image is just the result of a trick to make things different when I didn’t find something too good to shoot. Hehehe…
Thanks for the compliment.
