According to Buddha
Duality is the real root of our suffering and of all our conflicts. All our concepts and beliefs, no matter how profound they may seem, are like nets which trap us in dualism. When we discover our limits we have to try to overcome them, untying ourselves from whatever type of religious, political, or social conviction may contain us. We have to abandon such concepts as ‘enlightenment’, ‘the nature of the mind’, and so on, until we no longer neglect to integrate our knowledge with our actual existence.
and oh, how our glory may fade
fade, well, at least we’ve learned
some things along the way
and we can see life hand in hand
the green, the blue, the rock, the sand
and in our time and in our land, we’ll savour every day

The image of the closed gate is very intense – really well done, Hedy! I like the whole series, especially the third photo with the centered building. Wonderful. 🙂
thank you Lynn 🙂🤓…sort of a strange place/energy…I always have wonders about old school houses…couldn’t find a lot on this…I’ve had Residential schools in my mind 😌 the erasure adds to intense times 🤓 knowing our last federally operated residential school closed in 1996…and the lasting effects…
