According to Buddha
Strive ceaselessly; never be impatient. Once the finality is achieved, incarnation of troubles will be over in a second, just as when light is admitted within a room that has been locked for decades, the darkness vanishes instantly.
i was working up a conversation
but i didn’t know how to start
your heart is a work of art
i wanna be rich in memories not money
our love is our inheritance honey
we’ve come so far

random streets of Lisbon, Portugal ~ April 2016.
Good morning and wow… lovely eye on the image.
Yes time for coffee ☺️ thanks kindly Barty for your comments…wishing you a happy painting day 😀
I love street art! The monkey is great! But all photos are very nice. 😉
Yes I loved that monkey…☺️
Thank you!
You’re most welcome Annali ☺️
Beautiful images, and an important message in times of strife. Thanks for sharing Buddha with us in so many special ways here, Hedy. That is a gift. 💕 Van
Van ☺️ that’s wonderful for me to read…humble thanks and you know I’m a sloppy Buddhist…still learning along the way 😄 life is beautiful…along with some nonsense…which makes no sense 🤓😉🤔☺️ have a happy day…I playing with tea cups and my iPhone mini lens ☺️ <3
I was raised Catholic, even aspired to be a nun. When I took my first Comparative Religion course, my eyes were opened to eastern philosophy and Buddhism held a special place in my heart. Still does. 💕
i was raised Dutch Christian Reformed…when i was 7 my mother pulled me out…she sent me to the United Church which i attended through highschool…then i studied and taught research methods…my eyes were also opened…i still continue to question why as i search and wonder…i don’t know…but the Buddhists do have a lot to say…and their words also touch my heart… <3
The “urinol” sign is unique. This looks great in BW. Have a great week, Hedy. I hope you find some new adventures. Cheers
ahhhh the beauty of a simple, utilitarian washroom…clearly not a split-gender character but made me smile 😀 Chris my life is an adventure…i wake up each and wonder why/what surprise will occur today…some days i’d prefer to stay on yoga mat all day! Have a fun week too! many smiles hedy
You have a good life when you see each day as an adventure. Cheers!
Nice set of photos 🙂
(Raised Irish Roman Catholic; enjoy reading much more about Buddhist thinking)
humble thank you Peter 😀 on this platform i work hard to find beauty…and i’ve learned looking for beauty every day is possible…and even joyful…although there is always that little jaded part in my hedy head 😀 probably always be so i release those thoughts other practices…camerawork is also a lot of fun…have a wonderful day ~ smiles hedy
“I wanna be rich in memories not money”… Love those words… excellent photographs, dear Hedy!… happy sunday. Sending love! Aquileana 😀

Eddie…i can’t shake the feelings of being in Lisbon and seeing just a tiny bit outside…beautiful city and people…i really felt comfortable there…safe…and well yes the Buddha always much to say 😀 have a joyful day ~ smiles hedy
Terrific images!
humble thanks Matt! i appreciate you saying 😀 sending you joy for a good week!
Thank you — and likewise to you. 🙂
Just lovely photos as always. I must get to Portugal and Spain they are both on my Bucket List. The song is very strong in emotions, I enjoyed it. Buddha’s saying is wise, open your heart to light and it darkness will no longer be there. Have a great Sunday evening.
Terry i agree…and yes i’d love to return…Jon Foreman was in the bad Switchfoot…i love his solo work even better…i love his album “greetings from the wonderlands”…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAmmbJ2N0Oc&index=24&list=RDsVG6C3iuCsQ
had a great walk in the grey woods…wonderful yoga class…and now some time with the camera…all good so far…hope yours is joyful…maybe you have family time or grandchildren? 16 days and i get to see mine…but whose counting! have a gooder ~ smiles hedy
Tomorrow is holiday here and so daughter and 2 of the 3 grandkids are coming over. She invited a friend and her 3 kids over whose husband has to work for a bbq and pool party. Kids will have fun so I am resting as tomorrow will be BUSY. Enjoy your day.
naps are wonderful! have fun Terry 😀
I must listen to Jon’s work. You and your husband must be excited to see your grandkids. I only see my youngest twice a year as they live in Washington state.
yes we have one 7 months now…i’ve only seen him 4 times so far…this time i’m flying out alone when Steve returns from Paralympics 😀 just need them to move closer than Regina 😀
Mine are 11,8and 1. 2 boys, oldest and youngest. And 3 kids 2 boys and 1 girl. Kids and grand kids are great.
Wonderful more than a handful ☺️ yes I enjoy children and youth…
