According to Buddha
Fish play in the water. Birds play in the sky. Ordinary beings play on the earth. Sublime beings play in display.
if you go down in the woods today, you’d better go in disguise

Stay out of those woods. 😁 And, who says fish play in water and birds play in air? Could be the other way round.

The teddy bear picnic?
right…the love each generation has for our stuffed teddy bears…😳🙃🙂🧸have a fun day Chris ~ sending joy hedy 💫☺️
What does it mean that sublime beings play in display?
apparently, according to Thinley Norbu Rinpoche…
Sublime beings can appear in the inexpressible qualities of the Buddha which are beyond the habit of substantial reality’s form. If we only accept the existence of what can be accommodated within our ordinary delusion, it is impossible to have faith in enlightenment, which is the infallible, pure phenomena of any Buddha and is beyond our ordinary reality.
🧐wooly to me Mike🤓something for me to chew on…maybe you know? happy day smiles hedy ☺️💫
LOL! Delusional, moi? 🤨
I meant you know the words of Thinley Norbu Rinpoche…I don’t know…I think you’re fine 🤓😀☺️👌you know💫
My furry friends will begin their party in the woods in a few weeks when the salmon arrive Hedy.
I’d love to see that salmon run one day yet Wayne…make more photos of your beautiful fauna and flora 💚🤓☺️sending joy hedy 💫

Like everyone else commenting, I was chanting the song before I got to your punchline — what a long life that song has had! hop-scotching across generations & cultures…
yes Penny 🤓it has a long story the spooky-sounding version was written in 1907…I always liked hop scotch you made me think back to simpler times🦋☺️ sending you joy Penny🦋
Lol. You made it creepy! Shivers from over the pond, Hedy! 🙂
yes you are right Peter…creppier for sure…more autumn tones with the Lr sliders 🤓☺️😉🙃🙂 shivers back over the pond…would you go in the woods at night 🙃🙂😉 smiles hedy ☺️🌷
That’s pretty damn frightening, actually!
🙊🥺🙈it was definitely eerie…sending you joy Hetty☺️💫
Hmmm, anything but sublime…I think you did the right thing with these, keeping it dark. 🙂
☺️🤓thanks Lynn…always appreciated…the days are getting shorter here too dark in the mornings. Sending you sunshine 🌞🧡💫
a sublime Teddy hanging Hedy… lol.. time for Halloween!💖💖💖
🥺yes I guess so Cindy ☺️😱soon enough it will be here 🧡happiness your way 💫
It was a great BOO.. and always brings smiles and you have a good one too my friend.💖💖💖 love and joy back to you Hedy❣️
The forest of lost bears. Could be spooky in there at night with all of them looking at you. 😂🤣😂🤣
There was so many I was surprised actually…a weird moment in time Terry just like now here in Alberta 🤓🙈sending joy to you and your loved ones 💛🌞💫
May peace follow you and your family.
Thank you Terry 🌬🤍🕊
A big surprise. It seems like a tale.
Yes for sure perhaps a moral to the story 🤔I don’t know 🤓have a exciting day Alex 🌞💫smiles over the pond hedy 💫
Such cool shots Hedy. And a little creepy. they remind me of a bunch of bears/dolls/etc attached to trees in Xochimilco in Mexico – kinda creepy there too.
Alison xo
Yes now I’ve snooped a bit further…it is a tad creepy indeed…have a joyful day ~ hugs back 💛☺️🤗
It’s a little bit creepy to me, Hedy. The owner must be a teddy bear collector and didn’t know what to do with all the collection. What an interesting way to display the teddy bears. I don’t like to see some of them look like being hung by the necks though. Great shots!
Some were nailed on 🥺 it was creepy and I did make it darker…never saw a human 👀have a creative day Miriam ~ hugs hedy ☺️🤗💛
Scary!
🥺😅yes indeed Kally sending you joy for a productive day ~ smiles hedy ☺️💫
Eerie. Straight out of a Stephen King novel.
😰😱I rarely watch scary films … even less now I’m turning into a scaried cat 😜 it’s like living a sci fi film here Brian … big hugs hedy 🤗☺️🙏
Neither do I. Scary films. Now what do you mean by “it’s like living a sci fi film here Brian”?
Hugs back
our covid here is 🤦♀️🥴scary actually.
It is. Daughter #1, the MD, is near exhausted.
Definitely, do not go into the woods . at . night.
Right David…besides I’m a scaredy-cat…apologies for my delayed response I appreciate them ☺️🤓🌻💛sending joy hedy
