According to Buddha
Our lack of compassion stems from our inability to see deeply into the nature of things.
the silence of a winter’s night
brings memories i hold inside,
remembering a blue moonlight
upon the fallen snow.
maybe i am falling down.
tell me should i touch the ground?
maybe i won’t make a sound
in the darkness all around.

walking in the woods ~ Amiskwaciwâskahikan (etown) ~ November 2019
According to Buddha
When a man has pity on all living creatures then only is he noble.
so if you’re lonely, you know i’m here waiting for you
i’m just a cross-hair, i’m just a shot away from you
and if you leave here, you leave me broken shattered i lie
i say, “don’t you know?”
you say, “you don’t know”
i say, “take me out”

Toronto, Ontario ~ random streets ~ August 2015.
according to Buddha
If for company you cannot find a wise and prudent friend who leads a good life, then, like a king who leaves behind a conquered kingdom, or like a lone elephant in the elephant forest, you should go your way alone.
well, he feels like an elephant
shakin’ his big grey trunk for the hell of it…
