Welcome 2014 - Year of the Horse

darkening twilight ~

the unicorn trail vanish

into the moon

fine weather

fine weather 

in its stillness, the river

stops its flow, then turns

Merry Christmas!

WISH YOU ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS!

alone

alone have I come,

alone shall I go – a windblown

flower’s smile 

spots

departed souls ~

sifting through the void

spots of sunlight

His Highness Uthradom Thirunal Marthandavarma who passed away today....also reminding of the others who have left us....

Atisha - I

The greatest achievement is selflessness. The greatest worth is self-mastery. The greatest quality is seeking to serve others. The greatest action is not conforming with the world's ways. The greatest magic is transmuting the passions. The greatest generosity is non-attachment. The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind. The greatest patience is humility. The greatest effort is not concerned with results. The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go. The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.

~ Atisha ~

John Milton - I

“A mind not to be changed by place or time.

The mind is its own place, and in itself

Can make a heav'n of hell, a hell of heav'n.” 

~ John Milton 

Paradise Lost or Paradise Regained, Belated Birthday Greetings, John Milton.

Wading, wading

wading into the dark,

wild swans –rippling

waters

wading into the unknown

wild swans – the eternal

waters reflecting 

sudden surge

after all these years 

of tedium, a sudden surge of spirit ~

watching a sunbird 

dart crisscross 

across the hedgerow

wind chill

wind chill ~

ah! the pleasure of

walking the earth

awake

through the seasons
