According to Buddha
Eliminate what doesn’t matter to make more room for what does.
in the lonely financial zone by the sea
i have walked under moon and stars
skyscrapers shown in their dark majesty
in this otherworldly land of ours
i’ve walked by the buildings
i’ve walked by the malls
i’ve walked by the skyscrapers
lonely and dark

Nice photos and ….
The aim of life is appreciation; there is no sense in not appreciating things; and there is no sense in having more of them if you have less appreciation of them.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
so true…appreciation is most mattering for me…compose a happy day ~ smiles hedy

The motto for development companies is quite the opposite of your Buddhist quote, as they will build and re-develop just for the sake of moving one pile just to replace it with another. It does nothing but to retain the emptiness. You photos show this well ~ beautiful work Hedy.
thank you for your teachings Randall I didn’t know ☺️….humble thanks 😀
How true! Great thoughts. Not for nothing I admire Buddhism. Always look forward to being with the monks. A trip to Sikkim, in India’s North East, last year, was heavenly – so was another visit to Dharamsala, in Northern India, the seat of the Tibetan Government-in-exile.
Well I’m a sloppy Buddhist learning bits and pieces along the way…I admire many of the words as a starting place…one day I hope to travel to India and Tibet and being in the presence of monks as well…thanks kindly for your comment ~ compose a happy day hedy ☺️
