Some of you must have seen this photo in the color version that I posted last week. Given the current conditions and situations, while the event was still warm in mind and memory, I thought it would not hurt to display this image once again in the black and white version.
Life is indeed colorful, and it can be beautiful but it can be bad too, and it depends on how you look. And, that’s where life becomes more interesting because everything is in the frame of duality. Hey … I’m sorry if I once again talk about duality. But, how else if that’s the thing that often revolves in my head, and which parts are also discussed by people around me lately. They, (and also me) like losing their balance by continuing to seek truth and victory. May we arrive upon the balance of the complementary twins, not to be in the midpoint between the two poles but to negate the two poles themselves.
I am so happy to be among you, in the colorful world, to learn together to enter the absence of duality, also to see life in reality through my daily prayer which is the harmony of my own thoughts, words, and actions to the Divine.

Yes, I pertaining seem to learn a lot of things, yet to learn more. Some are painful experiences like my broken arm and then finding that I have a kind neighbour who does not mind helping.
Life brings surprises.
That is a real and important lesson from a very valuable life, Pamela.
We study all our lives. I can say this from my own experience.
I am sure that you have learned so many lessons to be wise.
Very nice in black and white. A completely different look and feel to the photo. I would really like to be on that beach relaxing.
I hope your weekend is going great and things are calm in your world my friend.
I agree that the appearance of this photo in black and white feels different. Thanks a lot, Carol.
Luckily I have enough sources of peace to be in the midst of this political storm. Thank you again for your support.
You are very welcome and thank you. I know you are the master of peace.
You know how one thing in a picture jumps out to someone. All I could see was that I would be like that and put my hair on top of my head. I need to go back and look again.
Thank you for the compliment, Trenna.
You will see your hair getting more beautiful when you see it again.
My father was on a quest to get people to become “life long learners.” I guess I am the heir to that dream. I strive ever to learn, to teach and when I can to share with others!
I’m sure you are a wise heir, Doc.
I have also received many lessons from you.
The only thing we ever do whether we are aware of it are not is that we are learning. We learn till our final breath.
Your understanding is exactly the same as my perspective, and hopefully, you get all the best from all your lessons, dear friend.
Very nice black and white picture
Thank you so much, dear friend. Glad you like it.
For my taste, the color picture is much nicer … I’ve been learning all my life, and I see that I still do not know anything at all, dear friend
The color picture is indeed more in line with our vision, dear friend.
Well, even how much we learn, we still know nothing, at least compared to all the mysteries of ourselves, moreover the mysteries of the Earth and the universe.
It is true that … the country is still interested in me and it is quite understandable … the universe is a complete ignorance for me … the more I sometimes think the more it is all unclear … it seems like science fiction … not I see the end
I think I will also be happy if I can live with a simple way of thinking like you, dear friend.
I did not go to school much, dear Albert … I was very stunned … so I was just a driver … I never studied so some topics are very foreign to me, but I do not burden … what I need for a living I know … I also know I have a lot of things to fix and I’m happy … if I’m interested in reading … there are many things you’ve told me
That’s what’s interesting about you. You don’t burden yourself with things you don’t need, either to do or to think about. As I have said, you just flow like water, and I love it!
I will observe your friendly advice, my dear friend
I am learning to keep my eyes open and take care of myself.
The ancient Javanese say, in life, we must always be aware and alert. I think that is in tune what you mean.
That is a true statement.
Some time I think the black white era was very best rather this colorful era, people were simple , there were letter system post office system , people were so loyal to each and helping but today greediness, selfishness is on peak.
Your perspective has the truth, dear friend. Apparently, the more situations and conditions provide convenience ways, the more greediness and selfishness increases
Life is sometimes colorful and sometimes black and white depending on the situations that we are exposed to in life and the way we deal with it?????
Thank you for your wise viewpoint, Yasin.
