According to Buddha
Don’t wait to find solid ground. Dance in emptiness.
(ground your sense of worth
til the spark of morning burns
and all those searching eyes
could scold your tender mind)
remember what they say
there’s no shortcut to a dream
it’s all blood and sweat
and life is what you manage in between

golden walk in the woods ~ Etown, AB, October 2019
It is here, it is there, it is all around if we could but perceive it.
The only fall Floridians ‘see’ like this is in our dreams.
It’s a beautiful day Hedy, thank you for being there
It’s a beautiful day 🌞🍁 with some time for day dreams ☺️ sending you joy Eddie 💫
If only we had a fall like this… I wouldn’t have to keep making pictures from whole clothe.
well Ray we have about 4 days of fall 😏…the next day…there were no leaves left on the trees and the paths were flatten and starting to blow away…the letting go…the beyond beige phase will set in 🙃🙂☺️ fall brings with it some sorrow…🍃 🍁 🍂…I prefer snow ❄️ and sunshine 🌞❄️😄…have fun making compositions from “whole clothe.”🧐🤓…smiles hedy
Well, our fall has been 90+ degree days so far. Combined with very high humidity it might as well be summer. Finally, early this morning we had a little rain and right now it’s coolish — 81 degrees — with a slight breeze and no humidity that you can feel. Finally.
I had summer in July in white rock it was winter in Peru and well this is the north bright blue sky and sun 4 degrees 🤗😎🤦♀️
96… $&-% degrees.
🌬 has blown in some freshness….went from 21 to 1 degree 😱 ahhhhh good thing we’ve got forced air 🤓 stay cool Ray!
First day of cooler temps. Dogs went nuts. I wore pants. 🐕🐕🐕🥜🥜🥜👖👖👖
well that sounds 😎 cooler 😉 pants soon we’ll be wearing our long johns…🤦♀️
Yes. Then it got hotter… 🥵🥵🥵
And here ☀️💦🌦❄️🌤💨⛅️💦🌧💦🌦💦
🔥🔥🔥⚰⚰⚰🤯🤯🤯
Wonderful! it seems that fall is earlier at your place then over here. Trees are beginning to get yellow, but the great downfall hasn’t started yet.
and then they all blow away and it becomes the beyond beige phase…I would love to experience a long fall…haven’t done that yet 🙂🙃😄 enjoy the colours Peter autumn 🍃 🍂 🍁 smiles hedy
Always loved fall’s colors and scent … wonderful pictures!

So know what you mean, many hugs back! Silvia

Spring is awesome

Great start in October!
it was indeed Thomas a beautiful start…actually can’t believe it’s already October time flies 💨 ⏰ 😳 have a creative day ~ smiles hedy ☺️
I laughed out loud, in sheer glee. “Dance” is my favourite verb…
dancing is much better than marching for sure ☺️…glad you laughed😄 aloud Penny…have a gleeful day ~ smiles hedy 🙂🙃😄
You have captured the essence of “being there-being within” with your photos and prose.
Thank you kindly Walter I have you saying…yes it’s all about being in the moment isn’t it 🤓☺️ compose a beautiful day ~ smiles hedy
Hey Miss Hedy … wonderful autumn photos! I just love those colours … my favourite season for sure 🙂
it was a joyful walk indeed…fall blows in and out very fast here…now we’re in the beyond beige phase now…until we get snow 🤗⛄️ ☺️ enjoy your garden Julie 💛
Thanks Hedy 😄
I love these, Hedy, just love them. The three are all you need to do the trick. Delicious. 🙂
it was a moment in passing…fall is quick…poof it’s gone…magic…now it’s beyond beige…☺️🤓🙃 have a happy day Lynn 💫
Gone already? We don’t get much color here but what there is, is beautifully subtle, and I don’t think it’s even reached mid-stride. The long, dark season may be coming, but I know you will do beautiful things with that, too – I remember your river photos. 🙂
Mostly some trees but yes with the winds howling…urban trees a little longer…yes now I want snow and yes the ice cakes…❄️☺️💙 and I also freeze flowers ☺️
What if the emptiness grows while we are dancing?
(You know Arsène Lupin? Seriously? Just bought a new volume I didn’t have in Paris)
The number would be 813, then? 🙂
☺️ yes Brian 📖 📚 ahhhhhh emptiness grows while we are dancing…perhaps, Śūnyatā translated most often as emptiness and sometimes voidness – is a Buddhist concept which has multiple meanings depending on its doctrinal context. It is either an ontological feature of reality, a meditative state, or a phenomenological analysis of experience.
hope you dance with fullness have a happy day Brian 🤓🕺 💃 now I’m off to the woods ☺️
Enjoy the woods Hedy. On “filling “Sunyata, we have a new granddaughter as of yesterday, 1PM. Baby and mother are fine. 🙂
That’s the best a new baby is delightful for you and your loved ones…she will be a lucky little girl 👼💕 sending you all joy Brian ~
Thank you. Joy back to you Hedy.
