According to Buddha

Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not ‘I love you’ for this or that reason, not ‘I love you if you love me.’ It’s love for no reason, love without an object.

      • None of that “endless land” here in Boston, except for run-down lots that no one looked at much; in the towns adjacent to Boston (and the ones adjacent to them), there is only one such stretch I know of here, and it is an abandoned mental facility, with the oldest buildings seemingly built during the Great War, that is genuinely the size of a city, tucked within Waltham, left there to rot somewhere about the 1980s, with minimal staff and only a very, very small handful of buildings with any occupancy. I took pictures of that about ten years ago. They’re surely not very good; you, however, would make that place sing.

        I remember hearing that the State, who owns the land, is gonna sell it to a developer for reasons that sounded neither open nor transparent at the time (connections).

        • etown has what I see as 4 very different exits…some ‘prettier’…we also have refineries and run down spaces…and many issues for land with indigenous, ranchers, wild horses, deserted oil things…

          now is searched “waltham massachusetts state hospital”…oof…that’s a place/space/a layer of stories…in my early work I was always curious about how humans were “locked” away…I still remember visits to Woodlands School it was a hospital in New Westminster, BC…Alberta Hospital…Michener Centre…prisons…I can still see faces and eyes of humans…I didn’t take photos at that time…those are far away memories but still clear…thanks Gregory for this comment…I have another project I’m working on and your comments made another connection for me appreciated 🤓💫 have a productive day ~ smiles hedy

    • yup…unconditional love is a weighty…gets muddied…perhaps, George it’s 🤔 wholehearted love…I don’t know 🤓 maybe there will be a Buddhist in one of your scenes ☺️😳😉🤣 have a fun writing day ~ smiles hedy ps. I did a dog post for my Sunday post 🤓

  5. The views are much like the choices we make when falling in love. Is it ‘safe’ to proceed?
    Love is much like that. Giving thought to our well being helps comfort the heart
    in what may be a difficult time.
    Have a most peaceful day dear friend
