According to Buddha
In most of our human relationships, we spend much of our time reassuring one another that our costumes of identity are on straight.

a exhibition walk a month ago at the Contemporary Calgary ~ Perspectives From Within ~ Calgary, otôskwanihk (ᐅᑑᐢᑿᓂᕽ) ~ January 2022
According to Buddha
The basic law of right human behaviour is self-reform…Whenever any trouble occurs with our friends or dear ones, we should inwardly lay the blame on ourselves for getting into an unpleasant situation and then try to get out of it as fast and as graciously as we can.
my lines, your lines
don’t cross them lines
what you like, what i like
why can’t we both be right?
attacking, defending
until there’s nothing left worth winning
your pride and my pride
don’t waste my time

According to Buddha
Suppose you are going to be punished by not being allowed to go to sleep when you are desperately in need of rest, and suddenly someone says: “All right, you may go to sleep now.” Think of the joy you would feel just before falling asleep.
hey hey
and i need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what i need
and if i share with you my story would you share your dollar with me
well i don’t know if i’m walking on solid ground
cause everything around me is crumbling down
and all i want is for someone to help me
hey hey

homeless people I met on random streets in downtown Toronto ~ June 2017
According to Buddha
The balanced rhythm of the universe is rooted in reciprocity.
to stare at the sky
i am wide open
reaching forever
i fly into the blue
i am wide open
reaching forever
i fly into the blue
flat mark
high tide
frantic to stay afloat
stay calm
let in some air i dare lie down
to stare at the sky
i am wide open
reaching forever
i fly into the blue

Jaume Plensa, The Bow, Calgary ~ October 2016
According to Buddha
One-half minute of revolution of energy around the sensitive spinal cord of man effects subtle progress in his evolution; that half-minute of Kriya equals one year of natural spiritual unfoldment.
you say you want a revolution
well, you know
we all want to change the world
you tell me that it’s evolution
well, you know
we all want to change the world
but when you talk about destruction
don’t you know that you can count me out
don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
alright, alright
