According to Buddha
I, the snow lioness who stays in snowy solitudes, Have milk which is like the essential nectar. In the absence of golden cups, I would not pour it in an ordinary vessel.

According to Buddha
Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion.
so if they call you
embrace them
if they hold you
erase them
’cause it might’ve been something, who’s to say?
does it help to get lost in yesterday?

yesterday just after dark ~ Etown ~ August 2020
According to Buddha
It is not our passing thoughts or brilliant ideas but our everyday habits that control our lives.
there’s a brand new world around us
lots of good news on the way
and for each and everyone of us
it’s a brand new day
there’s a brand new kinda meaning
to the words that people say
and for each and everyone of us
it’s a brand new day

According to Buddha
It is arrogant to think that our little earth is the only place inhabited by intelligent life. There are many such worlds as this some more highly evolved, and others in earlier stages of evolution. The orderly manner in which the universe is run shows that it is guided by some form of intelligence that permeates all created things.
well the road is wide,
and waters run on either side,
and my shadow went with fading light,
stretching out towards the night.
’cause the sun is low,
and i yet have still so far to go…

According to Buddha
The reverent presentation to me of a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water, given with pure intention, is a devotional offering acceptable in my sight.
i left your house this morning,
’bout a quarter after nine.
coulda been the willie nelson,
coulda been the wine
when i left your house this morning,
it was a little after nine
it was in bobcaygeon, i saw the constellations
reveal themselves, one star at time

According to Buddha
The wise, therefore, are not tossed with the ups and downs of the waves of happiness and misery. They dive deep into the Spirit-Ocean of Bliss, avoiding the storms of delusion, the waves of change that rage on the surface of human consciousness.
i saw it written and i saw it say
pink moon is on its way

pink moon Terwillegar Park, Edmonton, Alberta ~ April 2017
According to Buddha
I am a spark from the Infinite.
I am not flesh and bones.
I am light.
sunday morning
praise the dawning
it’s just a restless feeling
by my side

Terwillegar Park, Edmonton, Alberta ~ December 2016
According to Buddha
Beginning with the early dawn of each day, I will radiate joy to everyone I meet. I will be mental sunshine for all who cross my path. Before the unfailing light of my cheer, darkness will take flight.
i can’t make the hills
the system is shot
i’m living on pills
for which i thank g-d
i followed the course
from chaos to art
desire the horse
depression the cart
i sailed like a swan
i sank like a rock
but time is long gone
past my laughing stock
my page was too white
my ink was too thin
the day wouldn’t write
what the night pencilled in

According to Buddha
To try to practice and to try not to practice are both practice. I would rather say listen, be attentive, and see that you really are not attentive. When you see in certain moments in daily life that you are not attentive, in those moments you are attentive. Then see how you function. That is very important. Be completely objective. Don’t judge, compare, criticize, evaluate. Become more and more accustomed to listening. Listen to your body, without judging, without reference – just listen. Listen to all the situations in daily life. Listen from the whole mind, not from a mind divided by positive and negative. Look from the whole, the global.
she’s gonna listen to her heart
it’s gonna tell her what to do
well, she might need a lot of lovin’
but she don’t need you
