According to Buddha
This silence, this moment, every moment, if it’s genuinely inside you, brings what you need. There’s nothing to believe. Only when I stopped believing in myself did I come into this beauty. Sit quietly, and listen for a voice that will say, ‘Be more silent.’ Die and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign that you’ve died. Your old life was a frantic running from silence. Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence.

And yes, silence is welcome. You must find it sometimes when you go out in the snow… ❄️ ⛄️
Humble thank you Brian…oh it’s been a year of silence in so many ways…but then again good as I’m beginning to feel rejuvenated…more sleep is the best mediation for me…the days are getting longer and brighter…winter will be here for a while yet 🙄❄️ it’s the north!
True. But the light will help. Tot ziens Hedy. 🙏🏻🤣
Tot ziens Brian enjoy your warmth and flowers 🌸🌞
Dankje wel Hedy. Like I said many times, I wish I could pack the sun and light and send it up North. ☀️
like now as I watch the snow falling ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ …it’s blue and white pretty still ☺️
“Tombe la neige”. There was a Sixties song. By Antoine maybe. A long way back.
🎵🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶
Tombe la neige
Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Tombe la neige
Et mon cœur s’habille de noir
Ce soyeux cortège
Tout en larmes blanches
L’oiseau sur la branche
Pleure le sortilège
🙏
Yes, yes. Ja hoor. And it’s Adamo, not Antoine… 🙏🏻
Fantastic pictures, the light, the colors…!!!
It was a cold with delicious sunshine through the window…thanks for saying Ien 🙂🙃🙏 smiles hedy
