According to Buddha

Just because you are seeing divine light, experiencing waves of bliss, or conversing with gods and goddesses is no reason to not know your zip code.

  1. Hedy, lovely captures and thoughts. 🥰🏅

  2. I didn’t know they had zip codes back in Buddha’s timeless time. 😉 The sentiment resonances though, and reminds me a bit of Frank Zappa’s, “It’s important to keep an open mind, though not so open your brain falls out.” My way of putting it is that I’m Woo rather than Woo Woo.

    • I love Zappa too Jordon🤓…and yes Ram Dass was ahead of his time I’d say…and yes ‘open mind, though not so open your brain falls out’…we don’t need any more humans having their brains fall out 🙃🙂…woo and smiles your way ~ hedy ☺️💫

      • 🙂 Hedy. Yes, no more humans having their brains fall out. WIth the stick shift in a car basically being an anti-theft device for many people, I wonder what physical transmission is learned for younger people these days that teaches people how to shift gears, shift focus and redirect scale to disengage anxieities and stay engaged, including the silence of motion in neutral, or turning off the car to walk instead? Three on the tree was a bear to learn. 4-speed, then 5-speed, then 6-speed turbo, and OH I blew the turbo bypass valve again driving the car like to was supposed to be driven, that valve basically being the pressure release valve to sidestep forces exceeding spec so I could sidestep the clutch at 4,500 rpm for vrooommm fun. Back to the dealer for a quick reset of the turbo bypass valve, and back to it.

        Motion and driving and gardening are three great teachers, and I wonder how much is lost and what is gained by so many tip-tropic and automatic transmissions moving into the mainstream. I’m not against progress, though the clutch was a wonderful lesson all around. I wonder where it’s lesson was displaced to so that it’s lesson continues.

  3. A canyon! I initially thought of the beach. I hope you have a great week, Hedy. Enjoy.

  9. Oh wow, that was very unexpected food for thought.. loved the old teachings with a modern twist… did he really say that or did you interpret that! Either way, I loved it Hedy, along with the interesting shots. Have a great day dear one. ❤️ Cindy

    Cindy Georgakas 4 October 2020 at 10am

    • Humble thank you Ray…🙃🙂 well yes perhaps, and there’s an idea I do enjoy Four Tet’s 🎵🎶…hope you’re enjoying your sandwiches too ☺️

      sloppy buddhist 5 October 2020 at 9pm

      • You’re welcome. If you noticed I stopped saying “enjoy anything, ” in deference to you.

        Ray Laskowitz 5 October 2020 at 11pm

        • 😳😂🤣well it’s not unwanted Ray…Perhaps we need to think about what we eat…food production…who knows…I do like coffee…going to enjoy one now ☺️

          sloppy buddhist 6 October 2020 at 8am

          • It’s just me. I don’t eat most of what I wrote, but I was honoring the late Warren Zevon. Too many people passing now, so I should have stopped awhile back. There is a lot of coffee drunk in this house. Mostly in espresso form.

            Ray Laskowitz 6 October 2020 at 3pm

          • I remember Werewolves of London 🎼🎶🎵I’m not sure I know eating connection 🤔 I’ll read up. I like cream in my coffee…happiness your way Ray! ☺️🤗💫

            sloppy buddhist 7 October 2020 at 7am

          • Go to YouTube and search Warren Zevon on Letterman. You might have add last live performance.

            Ray Laskowitz 7 October 2020 at 11am

          • Once I’ve got good wifi I will I’ve got it book marked Ray 🤓👌 thanks

            sloppy buddhist 10 October 2020 at 7pm

  12. Interesting images, Hedy! I’m curious about the second image also. 🙂

    Miriam Hurdle 4 October 2020 at 10pm

  13. I will hang on preciously to zip code. Which is actually… balanced. 14000. Lots of zeroes for peace and meditation.
    Thank you for the desert shots. This must be a great place for silence…
    🙏🏻 Om mane…

  14. I suppose it’s important to know your zip. It makes it easier to receive the online purchases. 🙂

    David 8 October 2020 at 1pm

    • Here we have postal codes and yes another marker…I know I’ve done more online purchases than ever before….have a good day David ~ smiles hedy ☺️☀️🙏

      sloppy buddhist 10 October 2020 at 7pm

  15. Hedy, you’ve managed to play with scale in the best way – these are at once tiny and huge. A great way to illustrate that “quote.” I hope you’re enjoying yourself this week!

    bluebrightly 9 October 2020 at 10am

    • Yes been away to the west cost and a trip over the mountains very beautiful much longer than flying but wanted one more squeeze from the little one before the snow flies ☺️☀️🙋‍♀️ sending joy hedy

      sloppy buddhist 10 October 2020 at 7pm

      • Good, I’m glad. A long drive but in many places, a beautiful one, I would think. Good thing you got your squeezes in, but I know you won’t go too long before coming back for more. 😉
