According to Buddha
No light is comparable to the light of wisdom. The light of wisdom awaits all those who learn and put into practice the teachings of taming the mind. It shines everywhere without discrimination, like the light of the Buddha’s Dhamma which never discriminates against anyone.
old man lyin’ by the side of the road
where the lorries rollin’ by
blue moon sinkin’ from the weight of the load
and the buildings scrape the sky
red lights flashin’ through the window in the rain
can you hear the sirens moan
cold wind rippin’ on the valley at dawn
and the morning paper flies
don’t let it bring you down
it’s only castle’s burning
find someone who’s turning
and you will come around
you will come around

Ah, a great song.
i agree Hariod…yes i have Annie on my mind/ear 😀 these days.
Her version was exquisite. Do you know Neil Young’s original? It is wonderfully plaintive.
oh yes…as a Canadian we see Young as iconic <3 and i love his version as well…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7letrMf_nE
Too late for me SB! Your post reminded me to go and listen to it earlier. I am in England but have a close relative living Vancouver by the way – a lovely place I think.
Lovely photos ! And the song…one of the best moments of American Beauty..so beautiful and haunting. Creative post.
thanks kindly VanbytheRiver 😀 and yes i also liked American Beauty…happy evening to you!
oh yes Vancouver on a sunny day is a so beautiful 😀 compose a happy evening Hariod ~ smiles hedy
windows of reflection 🙂
truly amazing city…reflections everywhere 🙂
The light of wisdom…you seem to have captured this perfectly in your photos 🙂
I couldn’t agree more to the concept you mention, “No light is comparable to the light of wisdom.”
thanks kindly Randall for your thoughtful words…i appreciate you saying…i hope to grow to be a wise old crone 😀
Now that is a goal well worth pursuing 🙂 Take care Hedy and have a great weekend ~
every day is a great day 😀
I have really enjoyed this great *Light* essay with words. That top image resembles a Thai palace magically descended into a western megacity. Magical. Shadows.
thanks kindly Steven for noting the light…it was magical for me to see the movement of the light along the buildings…Thailand would also be beautiful to see…compose a happy week 😀
