According to Buddha
The most exquisite paradox…as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all. As long as you want power, you can’t have it. The minute you don’t want power, you’ll have more than you ever dreamed possible.
ah-ya, oh, oh
ah-ya-ah, uh-uh-uh
eres la infusión que necesito

otter Edmonton Zoo ~ February 2020
According to Buddha
Love rests on no foundation. It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end.
nobody can tell ya;
there’s only one song worth singin’,
they may try and sell ya,
’cause it hangs them up to see someone like you.
but you’ve gotta make your own music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody else sings along.

sand East Beach ~ White Rock, BC ~ February 2020
According to Buddha
In our Western culture, although death has come out of the closet, it is still not openly experienced or discussed. Allowing dying to be so intensely present enriches both the preciousness of each moment and our detachment from it.
when i was just a little girl
i asked my mother, what will i be
will i be pretty
will i be rich
here’s what she said to me
que será, será
whatever will be, will be
the future’s not ours to see
que será, será
what will be, will be

Fenje (van der Velde) Fynebuik
1932-06-13 to 2020-01-10
Death is a coming together…happy birthday mom…the moon was listening…love you always…
According to Buddha
We’re fascinated by the words, but where we meet is in the silence behind them. This silence comes only out of deep internal reflection.
dis-moi un secret
invente moi dequoi point vrai
une petite histoire
dequoi qu’ej voudrais croire
dequoi qu’ej voudrais croire

room with a fresh view ~ Amiskwaskahegan, Alberta ~ January 2020
According to Buddha
In most of our human relationships, we spend much of our time reassuring one another that our costumes of identity are on straight.
we can chase down all our enemies
bring them to their knees
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we can’t bomb it into peace
whoa we me even find a solution
to hunger and disease
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we can’t bomb it into peace

peace on earth ☮️ sending you all cosmic sloppy prayers from the moving evergreens in Millcreek ~ Amiskwaskahegan, December 2019
According to Buddha
But opinions, judgments, memories, dreaming about the future—ninety percent of the thoughts spinning around in our heads have no essential reality.
brosandi
hendumst í hringi
höldumst í hendur
allur heimurinn óskýr
nema þú stendur
rennblautur
allur rennvotur
engin gúmmístígvél
hlaupandi í okkur ?
vill springa út úr skel

walk in the woods ~ Etown ~ December 2019
According to Buddha
Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. Every breath we take, every step we take, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment.

Jellies ~ Vancouver Aquarium ~ November 2019
According to Buddha
And the sun is the wheel of luminosity, it turns day and night. It never sets.
the sun hides on the other side
until you feel it, raise a distant call
is there a world out there i’m dreaming of?
is there a world out there i’m dreaming of?
is there a world out there i’m dreaming of?
