Semiahmoo Bay ~ White Rock, British Columbia ~ March 2019
According to Buddha
If you want to be loved, start loving others who need your love. If you want others to sympathize with you, start showing sympathy to those around you. If you want to be respected, you must learn to be respectful to everyone, both young and old. Whatever you want others to be, first be that yourself; then you will find others responding in like manner to you.
i listen to my words but
they fall far below
i let my music take me where
my heart wants to go
i swam upon the devil’s lake
but never, never never never
i’ll never make the same mistake
no, never, never, never
