Int0 thE LigHt-Fl0wEr's in Sepia ModE

Put some lens glare on the heart shape pollen..

The poem on the photo was actually written and sent by Josephine Bracken ( Wife) to Dr. Jose Rizal before his execution at Luneta on june 19 , 1896 by the Spanish Guardia Civil..
The reason for his death? Publishing a Novel " Noli me Tangere" and "El Felibusterismo" in 1887 in Berlin..
The novel created so much controversy that only a few days after his arrival, Governor-General Emilio Terrero summoned him to the Malacañáng Palace and told him of the charges saying that the Noli was full of subversive ideas. After a discussion, the liberal Governor General was appeased; but he mentioned that he was unable to offer resistance against the pressure of the Church to take action against the book.
The book was actually a story about the Church Dominican Order in the Philippines abusing young Filipinas and Poor farmers..

firehorsecri Rob, thank you for your sephia flower's light and words. Unique, as life is and everyone is. There's a pulsating unique heart, too.
Marcel Proust wrote that "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes".
A big tender hug, my friend :-)
