According to Buddha
Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.

According to Buddha
Never do anything that taints your mind. Wrong actions cause negative or evil mental vibrations that are reflected in your whole appearance and personality. Engage in those actions and thoughts that nurture the good qualities you want to have.
song sung blue
weeping like a willow
song sung blue
sleeping on my pillow
funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
and before you know, it get to feeling good
you simply got no choice

random street in Lisbon, Portugal ~ April 2018
According to Buddha
I view death as a normal process, a reality that I accept will occur as long as I remain in this earthly existence. Knowing that I cannot escape it, I see no point in worrying about it. I tend to think of death as being like changing your clothes when they are old and worn out, rather than as some final end. Yet death is unpredictable: We do not know when or how it will take place. So it is only sensible to take certain precautions before it actually happens.
think i’ll go out to alberta, weather’s good there in the fall
i got some friends that i could go to working for
still i wish you’d change your mind,
four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
all those things that don’t change, come what may
if the good times are all gone, and i’m bound for moving on
i’ll look for you if i’m ever pass this way

Chinook Hospice, Calgary Alberta, April 2017
According to Buddha
Peace is the enjoyment of life, activity is the expression of life. A balance between the activity of the west and the calmness of the east is needed.
heading for home you start to roam then you’re in town
everybody knows there’s nothing doing
everything is closed it’s like a ruin
everyone you see is half asleep
and you’re on your own you’re in the street
good morning, good morning

Terwillegar Park, Edmonton, Alberta ~ March 2017
According to Buddha
Build your inner environment. Practice silence. I remember the wonderful discipline of the Great Ones. When we used to talk and chatter, they would say: “Go back into your inner castle.” It was very hard to comprehend then, but now I understand the way of peace.
ave generosa mundi rosa
felix et sacra virgo maria
espiritus sanctus laudamos te(ave, ave gemma preciosa)
espiritus sanctus laudamos te(sub intimo cordis in custodia)
cruxificie vulnerati ave mundi luminar

São Jorge Castle, Lisbon Portugal, April 2016.
According to Buddha
Smile, breathe and go slowly.
but love will come set me free.
love will come set me free, i do believe.
love will come set me free, i know it will.
love will come set me free, yes.

Sikh temple Nanaksar Ji ~ Edmonton ~ February ~ 2016.
According to Buddha
Remain calm, serene, always in command of yourself. You will then find out how easy it is to get along.
i see trees of pink,
red roses too.
i see them bloom,
for me and you.
and i think to myself,
what a wonderful world.

Edmonton, Alberta ~ December 2015.
According to Buddha
Your end, which is endless, is as a snowflake dissolving in the pure air.
will you remember the flowers in my hand?
will you remember my hair?
will you remember the future we planned?
the world is not waiting out there.
will you remember?
will you recall?
will you remember?

Edmonton, Whyte Ave. and Calgary, Memorial Drive, Field of Crosses ~ November 2015.
According to Buddha
If we want to transform our life and be free from problems we must learn to transform our mind.
a hundred miles is not too far
unless you have to walk
life, it seems, is like a dream
until you have to talk
don’t wonder for a moment
if you win or lose
just stop and stay, and watch the day
and listen to these blues

Myra Canyon Trestles, Kelowna, British Columbia ~ October 2015.
According to Buddha
The appearance of “time” is little more than a trick of memory. You can easily discern this for yourself: simply figure out what it is you consider “the past” and “the future.” You will discover that it is nothing but thoughts–nothing but memories, nothing but expectations, nothing but mental commentary. It’s “all in your head,” so to speak. There’s really no such thing as time. There is really only Now–an eternally present Present with no beginning and no ending. Everything is completely new, distinct, and original every instant, with no real “change” or “motion” at all.
maybe the sun’s light will be dim
and it won’t matter anyhow.
i won’t be blinded by the light.
i’m old enough to face the dawn.
