According to Buddha
Prolong not the past
Invite not the future
Do not alter your innate wakefulness
Fear not appearances
There is nothing more than this…

In our Western culture, although death has come out of the closet, it is still not openly experienced or discussed. Allowing dying to be so intensely present enriches both the preciousness of each moment and our detachment from it.
when i was just a little girl
i asked my mother, what will i be
will i be pretty
will i be rich
here’s what she said to me
que será, será
whatever will be, will be
the future’s not ours to see
que será, será
what will be, will be

Treaty of Verdun number
In Buddhist philosophical concepts, Colour photography, Emotion, Fotografia, FujiX100s, Imagemaker, Photography, Words of music on 2020/01/15 at 04:00According to Buddha
When you go out into the woods, and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying ‘You are too this, or I’m too this.’ That judgment mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.
and the seasons they go round and round
and the painted ponies go up and down
we’re captive on the carousel of time
we can’t return we can only look behind
from where we came
and go round and round and round
in the circle game

We’re fascinated by the words, but where we meet is in the silence behind them. This silence comes only out of deep internal reflection.

We’re all just walking each other home.
i was following the, i was following the
i was following the, i was following the
i was following the, i was following the
i was following the, i was following the
i was following the pack, all swallowed in their coats
with scarves of red tied ’round their throats
to keep their little heads from falling in the snow
and i turned ’round and there you go

In most of our human relationships, we spend much of our time reassuring one another that our costumes of identity are on straight.
we can chase down all our enemies
bring them to their knees
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we can’t bomb it into peace
whoa we me even find a solution
to hunger and disease
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we can’t bomb it into peace

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.
i am a workin’ (wo)man
but i ain’t worked for a while
like some old tin can
from the bottom of the pile
from the bottom of the pile
i have lost my way
but i hear tell
about a heaven in alberta
where they’ve got all hell for a basement
my words are like a rope
that’s wrapped around my throat
wash my mouth with soap
for words unfit to quote
and now i’m free to go
but time cannot remove
the only life i know
now only time will prove
yes only time will prove
yeah i lost my way
but i hear tell
about a heaven in alberta
where they’ve got all hell for a basement

Do not say, ‘It is morning,’ and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name.

song bird, they were strong hands that held her
miles above ground
we can’t see you now

When thought is in bondage the truth is hidden, for everything is murky and unclear, and the burdensome practice of judging brings annoyance and weariness. What benefit can be derived from distinctions and separations?
