According to Buddha
Like a mother who protects her child, her only child, with her own life, one should cultivate a heart of unlimited love and compassion towards all living beings.
always remember these three things
faith, hope and brushing your teeth
but most importantly
do everything lovingly

random streets in Montréal, QC ~ April 2019
According to Buddha
One hundred times a day,
I recall the spiritual support;
my congenial friend comes to mind.
The sketch of past lives becomes clearer;
mind yearning, my fondness increases.
“Separation” is the heart being ripped out.
Ah! It is like that. But there is no need to be sad.
Hold in your heart the oath of the mother dakinis.
May the sublime three jewels and guardians bless the congenial
friend so that our wishes may be fulfilled.
so many miles
so many miles
so many miles
away

According to Buddha
Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.

help me find a way from this maze
i can’t help myself

feathers – Royal Alberta Museum honours Indigenous stories ~ RAM, Etown ~ February 2019
According to Buddha
physical beauty
that comes from keeping up appearances
can only be maintained temporarily,
but beauty that takes
authenticity and sincerity as its foundation
is timeless and eternal.
the story’s told
with facts and lies
i have a name
but nevermind
there’s truth that lives
and truth that dies
i don’t know which
so nevermind

moon walk ~ Edmonton, Alberta ~ October 2018
According to Buddha
Do not selfishly seek anything from others; if you have no expectations, then what can people take from you?
the man is tall, mad, mean, and good-lookin’
and he’s got me his eye
when he looks at me, i go weak at the knees

‘that feeling’ ~ Porto, April 2018
❤️ Dear Sloppy Buddhist followers. ❤️
I am in Hamburg, Germany and yesterday my Adobe Lightroom ‘disappeared‘ from my computer and this is the program I use to both upload and edit my images. I did however received this message.
“Sie befinden sich außerhalb der USA? Auf der Adobe-Website für Ihre Region finden Sie Informationen zu den für Sie relevanten Preisen, Angeboten und Veranstaltungen.”
Zur Website für Deutschland
Currently, I am unable to connect with Adobe here in Hamburg due to my lack of German so I am choosing to share one more image from my April travels in Portugal…you know ‘that feeling’. I will need to figure out what happened or what I did so I am practicing some Buddhist philosophy…in my sloppy hedy way. 😉
My joy is to photograph, meet with new people and explore new places/spaces. Therefore I am choosing not to be indoors in front of my computer figuring out my LR issues. I am also choosing not to be disappointed in myself for not remembering passwords, codes or hanging on the telephone. So I just wanted to let you all know I’ll be back up and running with new visual stories in a few days.
As well, please know I truly appreciate all your *likes*, comments, and supportive words very much. Compose another beautiful day ~ smiles hedy ✌️😊
