According to Buddha
May I become at all times, both now and forever: a protector for those without protection; a guide for those who have lost their way; a ship for those with oceans to cross; a bridge for those with rivers to cross; a sanctuary for those in danger; a lamp for those without light; a place of refuge for those who lack shelter; and a servant to all in need.
i awoke so cold and lonely
in a faraway place
the sun fell cold upon my face
the cracks in the ceiling spelt hell
turned to the wall
pulled the sheets around my head
tried to sleep, and dream my way
back to you again

Sometimes dreams are the only roads left to the people we’ve lost. Those roads, we often come back to.

Beautiful post Hedy, I love the images from Porto. Visited Belém in Lisbon many years ago, it took my breath away. Great lyrics from the Pogues, one of my favourite songs of all time is ‘The Broad Majestic Shannon’.

Wonderful photos, Hedy.

Your photography is always so decisive — straight to the heart of what it is portraying, and straight to the heart of the viewer

Beautifully done, Hedy – those first two images are a great pair!

Coloured flowers. A dark Portugal. And dreams to come back to.
I have always marveled at the precision some dreams have. Particularly
when dreaming of dearly departed. Even their voices are perfect.
