the simple things
are what we already have
and contain all we need
and are found
in places we rarely look.

the wind across your skin
and through your hair
the warmth of the sun
on your neck.

the sound of a firmilar voice
or the echoing of crickets
as we fall asleep,
and the songs of birds as we wake

when these simple things
become our source of joy
we never have to look far
or seek for what we already have.
Image
Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world:
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream;
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.

Here where the bird nests
this climber rests,
high in the tree-
domain of ant and bee-
here I am free.

Go to the lowest,
and you'll see the highest-
this Milarepa said.

Better at leaping and jumping
Since I learned self-trusting.

Three jewels, boundless lands
In which tall oak stands
I have faith in these
as I trust the trees.

'Barefoot through flowers'

Be careful when walking barefoot through flowers,
There are sometimes bees there.

hmmm... hm.?

what is the soun, when a buddh a hums?


i would hear, would hear, would hear, will hear,


more deeply than before,


i am well, and well i am hearing,


'let me come with you,' i am hearing all around me.


and breathing, i am breathing, while a buddha breathing in me,


there is singing, and joyfullness ringing all around - all is joyful this beautiful sound,


this is laughter - from the heart, of hearts, the waves of life flowing past her, it is all, it is one.

Happiness and fearlessness are one and the same.


One cannot destroy an illusion - simply let it fade.

little craw-dads today I saw,
they were upholding Dharma's law,
they were playing a little game,
each as other, are the same.

when you see a twig,
rising from the water,
with a flyer resting on it,
and the wind and waves
return to stillness, this
is the most beautiful.
