According to Buddha
The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don’t wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.
toute la vie
est fait de jours et de nuits
le temps gris
laisse la place à l’éclaircie
c’est ainsi,
et il faut apprécier autant:
la pluie et le beau temps.

Dahlia in the veranda ~ Etown, AB ~ October 2019,
According to Buddha
One of the ways in which one can counterbalance excessive thinking is contact through nature and the elements. One can develop one’s sense of consciousness by contact with earth, fire, water, space – it’s as simple as that. This will take a lot of the tension and one-sidedness out of one’s metal development, and out of one’s will.
maybe i’m still searchin’ but i don’t know what it means
all the fires of destruction are still burnin’ in my dreams
there’s no water that can wash away this longin’ to come clean
hey yeah yeah

According to Buddha
An answer seeks to dissolve the question, a response recognizes the ongoing validity of the question, and seeks to remain in connection with it.
the bright horses have broken free from the fields
they are horses of love, their manes full of fire
they are parting the cities, those bright burning horses
and everyone is hiding, no one makes a sound
