According to Buddha
You must know the difference between
imagination,
theoretical knowledge and
true realization.
call me the sea
call me the stream
call me the sky
call me the leaves
hear my call
hello, lo, lo, lo
lo, lo, lo, lo
call me the fire
call me the air
call me the grass
the silence of the hare

North Saskatchewan River, Edmonton, AB ~ August 2017
According to Buddha
I am a spark from the Infinite.
I am not flesh and bones.
I am light.
sunday morning
praise the dawning
it’s just a restless feeling
by my side

Terwillegar Park, Edmonton, Alberta ~ December 2016
According to Buddha
There is another world, the astral, hidden behind this universe. Its inhabitants are garbed in an astral form made of light. Lacking a physical body, they are “ghosts,” invisible to us . . .
we are ghosts
we are ghosts amongst these hills
from the trees of velvet green
to the ground beneath our feet
we are ghosts
we are ghosts amongst these hills
pressing out along the shore
pressing out along the shore

Epcor Tower, Edmonton, Alberta ~ December 2016
According to Buddha
The heart-quieted yogi in superconsciousness becomes able to see visions and great lights; to hear astral sounds; and to become identified with a vast dimly lighted space—alive with glimpses of beauties hitherto unknown.
beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
the unborn grass lies waiting
for its coat to turn to green
the snowbird sings the song he always sings
and speaks to me of flowers
that will bloom again in spring

North Saskatchewan River, random spaces along the way ~ February 2016.
according to Buddha
Doubt everything. Find your own light.
there is no hurry now
i take it slow – ow – ow
i don’t need anything
i am the one i love
but it’s hilarious
’cause all the while-ile-ile
all i can dream about
is how to make you smile
i am a light

according to Buddha
Like a meteor, like darkness, as a flickering lamp, An illusion, like hoar-frost or a bubble, Like clouds, a flash of lightning, or a dream: So is all conditioned existence to be seen.
