Faculty of Fine Arts and Communications – MacEwan University ~ November 2019
According to Buddha
On the other side, is substantialism, more materialism, everything is real to the extent we can see or measure it, and things are as real as I think they. That’s way too materialistic or substantialist, because things are not really what they seem to be.

Parque de la Reserva, Lima Peru ~ August 2019
According to Buddha
In general, people say, ‘We are following Dharma”, and speak of it as a kind of religion created by Buddha Shakyamuni. That is not a correct point of view. Buddha never created any kind of school or religion. Buddha was a totally enlightened being, someone beyond our limited point of view. The teaching of the Buddha is to have presence in that knowledge.
i got a feeling i just can’t shake
i got a feeling that just won’t go away
you’ve got it, just keep on pushing and, keep on pushing and
push the sky away

CN train, Hermitage Park ~ Edmonton Alberta ~ October 2018
According to Buddha
May I become at all times, both now and forever: a protector for those without protection; a guide for those who have lost their way; a ship for those with oceans to cross; a bridge for those with rivers to cross; a sanctuary for those in danger; a lamp for those without light; a place of refuge for those who lack shelter; and a servant to all in need.
i awoke so cold and lonely
in a faraway place
the sun fell cold upon my face
the cracks in the ceiling spelt hell
turned to the wall
pulled the sheets around my head
tried to sleep, and dream my way
back to you again

another time
in the age of wonder
another world
another time
this land was green and good
until the crystal cracked!
once more, they will replenish themselves
change and then wait
the power of their source…
the crystal…
