According to Buddha
Emptiness is a mode of perception, a way of looking at experience. It adds nothing to and takes nothing away from the raw data of physical and mental events. You look at events in the mind and the senses with no thought of whether there’s anything lying behind them.
ain’t no use in calling up your friends
ain’t no use in hiding in your bed
and ain’t no use in standing on your head
cause no new sights can fill your loneliness

Highway 39, Central Alberta ~ July 2015.
According to Buddha
So don’t forget that for you, I will be standing there for centuries. But hurry, don’t let me down, and don’t let me wait too long.
caught out running
with just a little too much to hide
maybe baby
everything’s gonna turn out fine
please read the letter
i nailed it to your door
it’s crazy how it all turned out
we needed so much more

Tomahawk, Alberta ~ random roads ~ July 2015.
According to Buddha
Rising early and scorning laziness, remaining calm in time of strife, faultless in conduct and clever in actions. One like this will be praised.
now deep in a forest
losing all thought of spring
and nothing can help me remember
and i’m going nowhere fast
a darker day has holed at last
deep in a dream i set the calmness to spinning
and your love has come too late
away from the garden gate
wake me up when the blue bells are ringing
