According to Buddha
We really ought to have confidence in human beings. Although humans have damaged the environment, we must be confident that humans can also save the Earth. I hope people with the same vision can join together to raise the awareness of environmental protection and save the Earth.

Student Strike YEG ~ Edmonton Alberta ~ March 2019
According to Buddha
Life is easy for the hu/man who is without shame, impudent as a crow, a vicious gossip, vain, meddlesome, dissolute. But life is hard for the hu/man who quietly undertakes the way of perfection, with purity, detachment and vigour. S/he sees light.

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

dying tulips in my artroom ~ Etown ~ March 2019

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.

i can’t help myself

random streets (reflections of my photo walk with Primavera DeLima) Portofview in Porto Portugal ~ April 2018
According to Buddha
But think about it. Ask yourself: Where was I before I was born? What am I in this world? When am I ever really ‘myself’? By reflecting on these questions, you may discover that each ‘self’ is but an illusion.

frozen Gerbera ~ Etown ~ February 2019
According to Buddha
Be yourself. Life is precious as it is. All the elements for your happiness are already here. There is no need to run, strive, search, or struggle. Just be. Just being in the moment in this place is the deepest practice of meditation. Most people cannot believe that just walking as though you have nowhere to go is enough. They think that striving and competing are normal and necessary. Try practicing aimlessness for just five minutes,and you will see how happy you are during those five minutes.
i howled at the moon with friends
and then the sun came crashing in
wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
but all the possibilities
no limits just epiphanies
wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
