According to Buddha

Real happiness can stand the challenge of all outer experiences. When you can bear the crucifixions of others’ wrongs against you and still return love and forgiveness; and when you can keep that divine inner peace intact despite all painful thrusts of outer circumstance, then you shall know this happiness.

hb images - blue barn wall and weed

i grew up here all of my life
but i dreamed someday i’d go
where the blue eyed girls and red guitars
and the naked rivers flow

i’m not all i thought i’d be
i’ve always stayed around
and i’ve been as far as mercy and grand
frozen to the ground

  5. Beautiful pictures! <3 barns–old barn wood, and pretty flowers, even dried remnants of them–bring me real happiness and inner peace. 😀 That last pic of the barn is amazing–you really captured the intricacies of the old wood. Thank you for sharing! Both versions of the song are nice, by the way. 🙂 Happy almost Spring! (hopefully….!)

  10. Working well together, the photos and Baez…wow, gotta hand it to her for working with her voice as it is. Not pure as it was decades ago, but the roughness is really nice, actually.

    • yes I hear this too…a friend of mine says women’s voices change in pitch/tone as we age…oh my yet another change…ahhhhh bodies….I always liked Kim Carnes’s voice wonder what she sounds like now…thank you Kindly for your comments I do appreciate them Lynn 😀 💫

      sloppy buddhist 21 March 2018 at 8pm

      • Well sure, our voices deepen, and who’d want a high-pitched adolescent voice with a mature life anyway? What I have a hard time with is the deepening of the wrinkles, and all the fault lines of the skin….just like a mature tree with beautifully furrowed bark, and we love it in that context. 😉 OK, I had to look up Kim Carnes – didn’t remember her because I wasn’t listening to much pop in the 80’s, but I like the voice, and she’s still recording, at over 70 yrs old, and the voice sounds not so different! 😉 But def more rasp. 😉

        bluebrightly 22 March 2018 at 10am

        • for sure…i’ve taught female teachers to lower their sweet little voices while they teach…so maturing what we hope for…to evolve…yes i agree the smile lines deepen…soon i will be rare 😉 😀 i do like Kim <3 have a good one i'm playing this now 😀 thank you Lynn

  12. True happiness does not depend on otter circumstances but inner stability.

  15. Beautiful images, and equally beautiful words, Hedy. I loved your opening message from the Buddha. Very inspiring. Wishing you a blessed day…
