According to Buddha
Instead of allowing ourselves to be led and trapped by our feelings, we should let them disappear as soon as they form, like letters drawn on water with a finger.
ooh woo, i’m a rebel just for kicks, now
i been feeling it since 1966, now
might’ve had your fill, but you feel it still
ooh woo, i’m a rebel just for kicks, now
let me kick it like it’s 1986, now
might be over now, but i feel it still

glass blocks ~ urban Regina, Saskatchewan ~ September 2017
According to Buddha
Humans become angels on earth, not in heaven.
i must be hallucinating
watching angels celebrating.
could this be reactivating
all my senses dislocating?
this must be a strange deception
by celestial intervention.
leavin’ me the recollection
of your heavenly connection.

21st Street Curly Fries and Saskatchewan sand ~ July 2017
According to Buddha
Many people excuse their own faults but judge other persons harshly. We should reverse this attitude by excusing others’ shortcomings and by harshly examining our own.
i went to see the doctor. i’d come down with the blues.
she said no, i can’t cure you, but i know something you can do.
take out a piece of paper, and sit down for a while,
and draw a pretty picture of something that makes you smile.
well, i know what makes me happy. didn’t have to think for long

Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto ~ June 2017
According to Buddha
The you that goes in one side of the meditation experience is not the same you that comes out the other side.
they raised her up
they made her fly
they gave her roots and wings
as time moves on and years go by
she’ll miss those simple things
she’s the girl i used to be

Cape Gooseberries, Edmonton, Alberta ~ 2017
According to Buddha
Somehow all things have perfectly come together to bring us into existence, the chemical reactions, water, the perfect temperature, the perfect gravitational force…somehow, organisms started evolving on this beautiful earth, the sunlight providing life to everything, and the perfect system to assimilate the energies and sustain life, then came the fish and the frog and the monkey and the man.
it’s a beautiful day
sky falls, you feel like
it’s a beautiful day
don’t let it get away

frozen berries from the woods ~Edmonton, Alberta ~ March 2017
According to Buddha
Live your life without hurting anybody. Harmlessness is a most powerful form of yoga and it will take you speedily to your goal. It is the art of living in peace and harmony, in friendliness and love. The fruit of it is happiness, uncaused and endless.
and the vision that was planted in my brain
still remains
within the sound of silence
silence like a cancer grows
and in the naked light i saw
ten thousand people, maybe more
people talking without speaking
people hearing without listening
but my words, like silent raindrops fell
and echoed in the wells of silence

2017 InFocus Photo Exhibit, Edmonton ~ 2016
According to Buddha
Modern science has discovered that the various material elements are nothing more than differently vibrating atoms. The universe is a cosmic motion picture of dancing atoms, which in turn are energy-sparks—not matter at all but vibratory waves.
you wait too long indoors…
step out from that place
your comfort zone

room with a view and Dinosaur Provincial Park ~ Alberta ~ 2016
According to Buddha
This life is strange. Everything is subject to change. That is why one should not anchor one’s happiness on this life. Our time will pass on; what you are seeing now will be gone one day. Change is good if you don’t let it hurt you. When it does hurt, the rebellion you feel is meant to show you that you should not have any desires.
the world is closing in
did you ever think
that we could be so close, like brothers
the future’s in the air
i can feel it everywhere
blowing with the wind of change

airplane iPhoneography ~ Calgary to Regina ~ November 2016
According to Buddha
Happiness blooms naturally in the hearts of those who are inwardly free. It flows spontaneously, like a mountain spring after April showers, in minds that are contented with simple living.
sleep on tight, ’til the sunlight burns you happy
’til the sunlight burns you happy, ’til the sunlight burns a happy hole in
your heart,
in your heart
in your heart
