According to Buddha
To forgive others is, in fact, being kind to ourselves.
é um belo horizonte, é uma febre terça
são as águas de março fechando o verão
é a promessa de vida no teu coração

dying tulips in my artroom ~ Etown ~ March 2019
According to Buddha
Introspection, or ‘sitting in the silence,’ is an unscientific way of trying to force apart the mind and senses, tied together by the life force. The contemplative mind, attempting its return to divinity, is constantly dragged back toward the senses by the life currents.
i’m just the man in the middle
of a complicated plan.
no one to show me the signs.
i’m just a creature of habit
in a complicated world.
nowhere to run to.
nowhere to hide, to hide, to hide, to hide….

Cascais, Portugal ~ April 2016
According to Buddha
Modern life is becoming very unsatisfactory. It does not give you happiness. There are too many things, too many desires. More nice cars and dresses and entertainments—and more worries. Free yourself from these so-called “necessities”…
leading me on
leading me down the road
driving me on
driving me down the road
my love is exceeding the limit
red-eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles
distance and longing, my thoughts do provide
should i rest for a while at the side?

Reynolds-Alberta Museum, Wetaskiwin, Alberta ~ January 2017
According to Buddha
Millions of people never analyze themselves. Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained. They don’t know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction. By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress.
oh, saturday night
mmm, everyone’s having fun
i’m down at the laundromat
trying to get my washing done
like I done before
time and time again
watching the clothes go ’round
another week sees its end

my laundry room ~ Edmonton, Alberta ~ January 2017
According to Buddha
Realize that enough hidden strength lies within you to overcome all obstacles and temptations. Bring forth that indomitable power and energy.
eu estou ficando cansada
de viver sem teu amor
e já quase não sinto mais nada
pois vivo sem teu calor
qualquer dia você volta
e encontra a casa vazia
não quero que a vida passe
sem alegria

According to Buddha
The New Year has come to greet you with new hopes, new determination, new will-to-achieve, new activities.
MISSION: To promote and exhibit innovative, thoughtful, and provocative photography created by CANADIAN contemporary image makers.
INFOCUS PHOTO is an annual exhibition curated by Alexis Marie Chute. In it’s first year, 2015, the show took place at Harcourt House Artist Run Centre and featured Edmonton and area photographers. In the second year, InFocus expanded to celebrate the best photography from across Alberta, showcased at dc3 Art Projects. Now, in its third installment, InFocus has fulfilled its mission of welcoming submissions from ALL Canadian photographers. This year, 2017, the curated show will be mounted in The Front Gallery. InFocus takes place every February during Exposure Photography Festival. http://www.infocusphoto.ca/
I am thrilled to be included as an emerging photographer.

According to Buddha
Modern science has discovered that the various material elements are nothing more than differently vibrating atoms. The universe is a cosmic motion picture of dancing atoms, which in turn are energy-sparks—not matter at all but vibratory waves.
you wait too long indoors…
step out from that place
your comfort zone

room with a view and Dinosaur Provincial Park ~ Alberta ~ 2016
According to Buddha
The gift of truth excels all other gifts.
we both hate the holidays
our parents act crazy
and the mall is insane
let’s skip it all this year
and have a non-traditional, non-denominational celebration
Christmas with you is the best
we’ll have no turkey or guests
sleeping late but before we get dressed
i want to give you a present
i want to give you a present

Fort Edmonton ~ Edmonton, AB ~ 2016
According to Buddha
We need to change our way of thinking and seeing things. We need to realize that the Earth is not just our environment. The Earth is not something outside of us. Breathing with mindfulness and contemplating your body, you realize that you are the Earth. You realize that your consciousness is also the consciousness of the Earth. Look around you–what you see is not your environment, it is you.
we got more
than we had before.
we got, we got.
more. more.
