According to Buddha
The universe and the light of the stars come through me.
i know it all from diogenis to foucault
from lozgechkin to paspartu
i ja kljanus obostzav dva paltza
schto muzika poshla ot zvukov mu!
start wearing purple wearing purple!
start wearing purple for me now!
all your sanity and wits, they will all vanish,
i promise, it’s just a matter of time!

Ochre sea star at low tide White Rock, BC ~ July 2019
According to Buddha
We are connected like one big family.
Therefore, love each other
during peaceful times
and help each other
when calamities strike.

di vegetabile,
cara ed amabile,
soave più

walk in the woods ~ Semiahmoo Bay ~ White Rock, British Columbia ~ March 2019
According to Buddha
Untouched, undisturbed, This life is perfect just as it is, But still I try to change the world.
i’m underwater engulfed by waves of emotion

Semiahmoo Bay ~ White Rock, British Columbia ~ March 2019
According to Buddha
Love with expectation would never last. Last love must be intangible, pure and unconditional.
that night in toronto
with its checkerboard floors
riding on horseback
and keeping order restored
’til the men they couldn’t hang
stepped to the mic and sang
and their voices rang with that aryan twang

horses at Free Rein Ranch ~ Lamont Alberta ~ March 2019
According to Buddha
Environment is stronger than will power. If you want to be spiritual, seek good company and don’t mix with those whose bad habits may wrongly influence you.
if you love somebody
better tell them while they’re here
’cause they just may run away from you
’cause i’m on top of the world,
i’m on top of the world,
waiting on this for a while now
paying my dues to the dirt
i’ve been waiting to smile,
been holding it in for a while,
take you with me if i can
been dreaming of this since a child

Wilhelmsburger Inselpark, Hamburg, Germany ~ August 2018
According to Buddha
O blazing light! awaken my heart, awaken my soul, ignite my darkness, tear the veil of silence, and fill my temple with glory.
when we were younger
we thought everyone was on our side
then we grew a little
and romanticized the time i saw
flowers in your hair
see it takes a boy to live
takes a man to pretend he was there

Peonies ~ summer solstice ~ June 2018
According to Buddha
The reverent presentation to me of a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water, given with pure intention, is a devotional offering acceptable in my sight.
i left your house this morning,
’bout a quarter after nine.
coulda been the willie nelson,
coulda been the wine
when i left your house this morning,
it was a little after nine
it was in bobcaygeon, i saw the constellations
reveal themselves, one star at time

Terwillegar Park, Edmonton, Alberta ~ October 2017
According to Buddha
The world as a whole has forgotten the real meaning of the word love. Love has been so abused and crucified by man that very few people know what true love is. Just as oil is present in every part of the olive, so love permeates every part of creation. But to define love is very difficult, for the same reason that words cannot fully describe the flavor of an orange. You have to taste the fruit to know its flavor. So with love.
she stepped off the boat to see flowers in his hands
the man she would marry was as hard as the mountains
she had his children in a log cabin
soon i’d be another star in this family’s constellation
in the land of the midnight sun
searching for gold
i am my father’s daughter
he has his mother’s eyes
i am the product of her sacrifice
i am the accumulation of the dreams of generations
and their stories live in me like holy water
i am my father’s daughter

random streets in Toronto ~ June 2017
According to Buddha
Build your inner environment. Practice Silence. I remember the wonderful discipline of the Great Ones. When we used to talk and chatter, they would say: “Go back into your inner castle.” It was very hard to comprehend then, but now I understand the way of peace.
blue is the colour of night
when the red sun
disappears from the sky
raven feathers shiny and black
a touch of blue glistening down her back
we don’t talk about heaven and we don’t talk about hell
we come to depend on one another so damn well
so go to confession whatever gets you through
you can count your blessings i’ll just count on blue
blue is the colour of night

Full Flower Moon – Terwillegar Park, Edmonton, Alberta ~ May 2017
According to Buddha
Peace is the enjoyment of life, activity is the expression of life. A balance between the activity of the west and the calmness of the east is needed.
heading for home you start to roam then you’re in town
everybody knows there’s nothing doing
everything is closed it’s like a ruin
everyone you see is half asleep
and you’re on your own you’re in the street
good morning, good morning
