Braille Without Borders

Strong touched by this projoct after I knew Sabriye & Paul and their cute students, how can we image the beauty are feeling the light through their heart instead eyes?!!

People say the blind feel the world with their ear, but Sabriye teach them feel it with their fingers.. they draw the truest pics, smell the colorful flower, use their brightest eyes to see the world...

Sabriye majored in Central Asian, and was the only blind student out of 30,000 to study the Tibetan language, but at that time, there was no Tibetan language in Braile, so she developed her own system using rhythmic spelling translated it into Braille. she was blind when she was 12 years old.. She starts a school for the blind kids in Tibet.

(Per WHO statistics, 161 million persons live with a disabling visual impairment, of whom 37 million are blind and 124 million are persons with low vision. Every 5 seconds someone becomes blind, every minute somewhere a child goes blind. About 90% of them live in developing countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific Regions. 9 out of 10 blind children in developing countries have no access to education.

Braille Without Borders wants to empower blind people from these countries so they themselves can set up projects and schools for other blind people. In this way the concept can be spread across the globe so more blind and visually impaired people have access to education and a better future.

three poem

Devotion ( by Robert Frost )

The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to the ocean---
Holding the curve of one positoin,
Counting the endless repetition.

When u are old ( by W.B.Yeats )

When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire, take down this book
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep

How many loved your moments of glad grace
And loved your beauty with love false or true
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you
And loved the sorrows of your changing face

And bending down beside the glowing bars
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars

Lost Sister ( by Cathy Song )

1
In China,
even the peasants
named their first daughters
Jade—
the stone that in the far fields
could moisten the dry season,
could make men move mountains
for the healing green of the inner hills
glistening like slices of winter melon.
And the daughters were grateful:
They never left home.
To move freely was a luxury
stolen from them at birth.
Instead, they gathered patience;
learning to walk in shoes
the size of teacups,
without breaking—
the arc of their movements
as dormant as the rooted willow,
as redundant as the farmyard hens.
But they traveled far
in surviving,
learning to stretch the family rice,
to quiet the demons,
the noisy stomachs.

2
There is a sister
across the ocean,
who relinquished her name,
diluting jade green
with the blue of the Pacific.
Rising with a tide of locusts,
she swarmed with others
to inundate another shore.
In America,
there are many roads
and women can stride along with men.
But in another wilderness,
the possibilities,
the loneliness,
can strangulate like jungle vines.
The meager provisions and sentiments
of once belonging—
fermented roots, Mah-Jong tiles and firecrackers—set but
a flimsy household
in a forest of nightless cities.
A giant snake rattles above,
spewing black clouds into your kitchen.
Dough-faced landlords
slip in and out of your keyholes,
making claims you don’t understand,
tapping into your communication systems
of laundry lines and restaurant chains.
You find you need China:
your one fragile identification,
a jade link
handcuffed to your wrist.
You remember your mother
who walked for centuries,
footless—
and like her,
you have left no footprints,
but only because
there is an ocean in between,
the unremitting space of your rebellion.

SONG OF A TRAVELING SON

this is just a chinese poem which express the love between the departing son & great mother , that move many far away sons and daughters ,the love of family is great and radiant ...

SONG OF A TRAVELING SON

Poem by Meng Jiao

The thread in the hand of a loving mother,
For the garment of her departing son.

Carefully she sews stitch by stitch,
In fear of his delayed return.

How much of his little love,
Like tiny sprouting grass,
Can repay her radiant love,
Like warm sunshine of spring?

Enjoy your day, dear Libra.

Go fishing in the mountains

shanie — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 15:28:16 GMT

Go fishing in the mountains

Go Fishing in the Mountains

Maybe it seems silly to go fishing in the mountains, but we all need a place to get away and think.

In this painting the man does not expect to catch fish, but rather is there to think and contemplate his life, or find solutions to any problems he might have, and just get away from the real world for a while.

This painting is inspired by the story of a gifted philosopher and scholarly man named Yan Zi Ling who was called to service by Emperor Liu Che during the Han Dynasty. Yan Zi Ling did not want to take a position of authority in the government, fearing that holding such power, he would become corrupt.

Even though he was a wise, talented, and honorable man, he knew that service in the imperial court could corrupt even the most ethical person. He felt so strongly about preserving his own integrity and dignity that he decided that it would be better to live in exile than to become another corrupt official.

For several years, Emperor Liu Che sent men out to search the countryside and find Yan Zi Ling. But the emperor's men couldn't find him. Of course, the emperor's men had no idea that Yan Zi Ling now lives in his own special place in the mountains where he could get away from the trouble of the world.

We all need a place to get away from it all and this man has found his place.
Perhaps this painting will inspire you to find yours?

You Have Enough, Enjoy Life

shanie — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 18:27:40 GMT

You Have Enough, Enjoy Life

Enough

This painting of a man enjoying his pipe, wife, and dog is accompanied by this proverb:
"You have enough in your life, so just be happy and enjoy what you have"
(it also says "drink more tea and smoke less").

The deeper meaning is that you should not worry about trying to "get more" all the time. But rather, take time to enjoy the things you have.

Tomorrow is another day

shanie — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 18:23:50 GMT

Tomorrow is another day

The Sun Will Also Rise

This painting includes this simple phrase: "Though the sun is setting today, it will also rise tomorrow".

The deeper meaning:
Maybe today is over as the man rides alone into the sunset.
Maybe today was not a perfect day.
But don't give up, tomorrow is another day with new possibilities and opportunities.

Gone Fishing for Life

shanie — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 18:18:27 GMT

Gone Fishing for Life

This picture has a simple title, but the meaning is much deeper.

The large bold black stroke represents your life and the many turns in it.
Life is long but it sometimes may seem like you don't have enough time here.

The act of fishing represents looking for something - such as meaning in your life. Perhaps when you finally catch that fish, then you will understand your purpose and the meaning of your life - or perhaps it will bring more questions for you to answer.
