Sydney.michelette said at 11:55 a.m. on Oct 11, 2006: ABOUT THE TITLE: Nancy, Saint Thérèse de Lisieux was born in january, 1870 - Alençon, France. She liked flowers, especially red roses and she had the custom to take away the rose's petals on crucifixo as form to express affection to God. She died young and before die, she promised would make to rain roses on the world. It was a metaphor: the promise meant to intercede for the humanity together God.
Thérèse is known by many as "The Little Flower of Jesus" and also for her "Little Way." In her quest for sanctity, she realized that it was not necessary to accomplish heroic acts or "great deeds" in order to attain holiness and to express her love of God. She wrote:
"Love proves itself by deeds, so how am I to show my love? Great deeds are forbidden me. The only way I can prove my love is by scattering flowers and these flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance and word, and the doing of the least actions for love."
I hope everybody enjoy this rain!

Liliana said at 2:59 p.m. on Oct 11, 2006: Había un santo (¿San Francisco de Asís?) que, cuando toda la gente, frente a un caballo muerto criticaba su olor, la falta de brillo en los ojos y pelo, la boca babeante, replicó: "Pero miren qué hermosos dientes tiene". Algo parecido pasa con tu visión después de la lluvia: tu punto de vista e imágenes son suaves, hermosas, etéreas... pero si nos ponemos a pensar, a veces después de la lluvia sólo hay barro ("lama"), destrucción, desolación... Y gracias por la explicación.

Liliana said at 9:33 p.m. on Oct 11, 2006: Eduardo, más poético y preciso, imposible...
Nmat said at 11:58 p.m. on Oct 11, 2006: Thank you, Sydney, that is a beautiful story and makes your tabblo even more meaningful to me. I love the photos that show the reflection of the trees above as well as the rain on the roses.
DEE-Trow said at 1:51 p.m. on Oct 12, 2006: Sydney, this is so beautiful. And I love the story. You really come up with some great ideas. I would have never thought to take pictures of dying flowers on the ground. I am such an amateur photographer and I have so much to learn. I am truly learning from you. Thank you.
