According to Buddha
Buddha also said that the Dharma, like a bird, needs two wings to fly, and that the wing that balances wisdom is compassion.
for just a skyline pigeon
dreaming of the open
waiting for the day
that she can spread her wings
and fly away again

According to Buddha
The answer to the problem of suffering is not away from the problem but in it. The inevitability of pain will not be met by deadening sensitivity but by increasing it, by exploring and feeling out the manner in which the natural organism itself wants to react and which its innate wisdom has provided.
time no good
wisdom no good
patience no good
to me any more
now night has fallen on the stair
some things you do you can never repair
seems i’m always pretending
things aren’t there when they are…

according to Buddha
He whose inflowing thoughts are dried up, who is unattached to food, whose
dwelling place is an empty and imageless release…the way of such a person is
hard to follow, like the path of birds through the sky.
free as a bird
it’s the next best thing to be
free as a bird
home, home and dry
like a homing bird I’ll fly
as a bird on wings
