According to Buddha
One must never give up hope of becoming better. A person is old only when s/he refuses to make the effort to change. That stagnant state is the only “old age” I recognize.
here today the red sky tells his tale
but the only listening eyes are mine
there is peace amongst the hills
and the night will cover all my pride
blessed are they who smile from bodies free
seems to me like any other crowd
who are waiting to be saved

According to Buddha
A friend endowed with these seven qualities is worth associating with. He gives what is beautiful, hard to give, does what is hard to do, endures painful, ill-spoken words. His secrets he tells you, your secrets he keeps. When misfortunes strike, he doesn’t abandon you; when you’re down & out, doesn’t look down on you. A person in whom these traits are found, is a friend to be cultivated by anyone wanting a friend.
when the sun shines, we’ll shine together
told you i’d be here forever
said i’ll always be a friend
took an oath i’ma stick it out ’til the end
now that it’s raining more than ever
know that we’ll still have each other
you can stand under my umbrella
you can stand under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
According to Buddha
Right concentration, or absorption is the eighth point of the path. Usually we are absorbed in absentmindedness. Our minds are completely captivated by all sorts of entertainment and speculations. Right absorption means that we are completely absorbed in nowness, in things as they are.
in another way from
another point of view
i see life and light
all the colours of the world
