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

by Hedy Bach, Horses, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Bright Horses

Collection number for Porsche REC watches

In Black and White Photography, Buddhist philosophical concepts, Fotografia, FujiX100s, Photography, Words of music on 2020/08/05 at 04:00

According to Buddha

There is a Zen story about a man riding a horse that is galloping very quickly. Another man, standing alongside the road, yells at him, “Where are you going?” and the man on the horse yells back, “I don’t know. Ask the horse.” I think that is our situation. We are riding many horses that we cannot control.

the bright horses have broken free from the fields
they are horses of love, their manes full of fire
they are parting the cities, those bright burning horses
and everyone is hiding, and no one makes a sound

Royston Tan’s musical-comedy-drama film number

In Black and White Photography, Buddhist philosophical concepts, Fotografia, FujiX100s, Landscape, Photography, Words of music on 2020/05/27 at 04:00

According to Buddha

The way in which you are part of the web of life, of incarnation, is around the dimensions, you could call it, of compassion, suffering or dealing with suffering. That when you have a society that is built on the denial of other people’s suffering, for the myths of the society to be lived out, you have a very frightened society, and you have all the pathology that comes from fear.

The first part is just acknowledging what is – just acknowledging what is.

everything is everything
what is meant to be, will be
after winter, must come spring
change, it comes eventually

According to Buddha

Aging has its own beauty. It is a beautiful stage for doing inner work. You have a chance to not be so dependent on social approval. You can be a little more eccentric. You can be more alone. And you can examine loneliness and boredom instead of being afraid of them. There is such an art and a possibility of aging.

i’m going way past tomorrow
way past yesterday

i’m gonna go so far
’til my sense is lose
all trace of space and time
going so far ahead
’til there’s nothing left behind

Only that in you, which is me can hear what I’m saying.

According to Buddha

Everything changes once we identify with being the witness to the story, instead of the actor in it.

well there is something just beneath
there is something just beneath
something shy and hard to see
it’s a ring that is clean
it’s a ring

Number of Mark Garvey miles

In Alberta landscapes, Buddhist philosophical concepts, Colour photography, Fotografia, FujiX100s, Landscape, Outdoors, Photography, Words of music on 2020/05/03 at 04:00

According to Buddha

Don’t prolong the past,
Don’t invite the future,
Don’t alter your innate wakefulness,
Don’t fear appearances,
There’s nothing more than that!

i looked a coyote right in the face
on the road to baljennie, near my old home town
he went running thru the whisker wheat
chasing some prize down
and a hawk was playing with him
coyote was jumping straight up and making passes
he had those same eyes just like yours

Physical redo error number

In Buddhist philosophical concepts, Fotografia, FujiX100s, Landscape, Outdoors, Photography, Words of music on 2020/04/29 at 04:00

According to Buddha

Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we’re so deeply inner connected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is the supreme creative act.

my heart is spilling over
crashing on the ground
i can’t see what’s around me
but soon i’ll come round
my faith is in the balance
of a million tiny words
so i return to silence
