that time won’t let me
show what i want to show

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

gonna climb that hill behind my house

Canada’s 149th birthday day, North Saskatchewan River ~ Edmonton ~ July 2016
According to Buddha
It is as if we are continually chasing mirages, only to be disappointed when they do not give us the satisfaction we had hoped for.
listen close, as close as i am to you
like the bell of liberty, i’ll ring a sound that’s true
and days go by and seasons too
in time our love may digress with the words we can renew
oh, i’ll tell you that i
i love you by and by
i don’t know if i’d survive
without a friend like you in my life

Edmonton, Alberta ~ November 2015.
According to Buddha
Just as fog is dispelled by the strength of the sun
and is dispelled no other way,
preconception is cleared by the strength of realization.
There’s no other way of clearing preconceptions.
Experience them as baseless dreams.
Experience them as ephemeral bubbles.
Experience them as insubstantial rainbows.
Experience them as indivisible space.
still your hands
and still your heart
for still your face comes shining through
and all the morning glows anew
still your mind
still your soul

North Saskatchewan River, Ogícize wakpá ~ Edmonton, Alberta, September 2015.
according to Buddha
People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes. All is a miracle.
teach the gifted children
the way of men and animals
teach them about cities
the history of the mysteries
their vice and their virtues
about branches that blow in the wind

Edmonton, Alberta ~ North Saskatchewan River (Assiniboine: Ogícize wakpá) ~ Edmonton Rowing Club
according to Buddha
Embrace nothing:
If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha.
If you meet your father, kill your father.
Only live your life as it is,
Not bound to anything.
do you believe
in what you see
motionless wheel
nothing is real
