Epiphyllum Oxpetalum
The name of this flower is Epiphyllum
Oxpetalum – commonly known as ‘Queen of the Night’. The flowers bloom after
sunset for one night only. It has a nice pungent fragrance.
I think I have affinity with this plant/flower. I came upon
a couple of stalks of the plant discarded by my neighbour, and stuck them in my
pot. They were in bad shape and I was sure already 99 percent dead. But I thought I would gave it a try anyway. However,
they are very hardy plants, and after some time in the pot, they sprouted new
branches. They are actually quite healthy now, and have been flowering
frequently. I am very pleased.
For more information on this flower check out
this video on YouTube.

Compassion is an aspiration, a state of mind,
wanting others to be free from suffering. It’s not passive – it’s not empathy
alone – but rather an empathetic altruism that actively strives to free others
from suffering. Genuine compassion must hav e both wisdom and loving kindness.
That is to say, one must understand the nature of the suffering form which we
wish to free others (this is wisdom), and one must experience deep intimacy and
empathy with other sentient beings (this is loving kindness). - The Dalai Lama (Essence of the Heart Sutra)

Love - Quotes
The truth is that the more
intimately you know someone, the more clearly you’ll see their flaws. That’s
just the way it is. This is why marriages fail, why children are abandoned, why
friendships don’t last. You might think
you love someone until you see the way they act when they’re out of
money or under pressure or hungry. Love is something different. Love is
choosing to serve someone and be with someone. Love is patient and kind, love
is deliberate. Love is hard. Love is pain and sacrifice. It’s seeing the
darkness in another person and defying the impulse to jump ship. - Unknown
Love is natural and unconditional. Love asks no questions – neither preaching nor demanding; neither comparing nor measuring. Love is – pure and simple – the greatest value of all. - Denis Waitley
