According to Buddha

Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place

all inside our amsterdam she hides
watery-eyed
that howling wind, she’s waving hi
her other hand’s in mine

reflections of yesterday at Manchester Square Edmonton Amiskwaciwâskahikan ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ + streets of Amsterdam 2018 ~ December 2021

  1. I really appreciated the According to Buddha section today. It seems so relevant right now.

  3. I love the words of your Buddha, they are so good! And what photos! Love the puddles! Looks like that outside my window this morning, and yesterday and the day before that! ☔ Haha, the weather could indeed be in Manchester, England as well. Rainy days in Belfast, Manchester and also in Edmonton. 🤗🌹🙋‍♂️

  7. Beautiful colors, boxy squares and rectangles in those edifices. Puddle jumping at hand. Or should I say foot?

  14. Everyone of these a winner, but my faves have to be the bicycle and the one above it – such interesting framing.

    • ahhh yes the “real” Amsterdam…I’m yearning to be there very much these days Alison 🤓☺️🙏sending you joy and big hugs🤗🕊🤍

      sloppy buddhist 15 December 2021 at 9am

  15. Manchester square? This looked very Dutch.
    😀
    Now that’s an interesting thought about Sorrow. Yet, some Sorrows tend to be eternal. At least for me and my daughter… I am concerned about her… And nothing much I can do…
    Anyway. Merry Christmas Hedy. 🙏🏻

    • I think they were trying for some euro look…it’s a cool enough space…but it’s not Amsterdam by any stretch 😌…yes her pain must beee brutal Brian…grief and mourning are different for us all…and for sure I appreciate your pain in this too…sending 🕊🤍and all good things…ps. I may have said this before but for me working with a death doula helped me very much…🤓 hugs and love for another holiday season☮️💜

      sloppy buddhist 15 December 2021 at 9am

      • I think you mentioned a death doula. (Doctor?) She’s been in therapy. Took up the piano again. Plays Satie now, immersed in her work. Making a name with NGO’s on gender issues. She is as well as can be. But there are tiny issues which will last a long while. We all help as much as we can.
        Hugs and love back…
