A single moment of understanding
The Flower That Smiles Today Leave a comment

The flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow dies;
All that we wish to stay
Tempts and then flies.
What is this world’s delight?
Lightning that mocks the night,
Brief even as bright.
— from The Flower That Smiles Today by Percy Shelley

I hold no preference among flowers,
so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous.

Love is like wildflowers;
It’s often found in the most unlikely places.

Before going on our August road trip I created a number of draft posting that I never posted.
This one is from August 2, 2021 — doing some housekeeping.

At the edge of a stream
Stretching through mountain woods
Watching clouds create dark shadows
That sink down the stream where
Golden columbines shine
Though the dark shadows.

Sweeping Away Illusions Leave a comment
A Hiking Break On The Box Camp Trail In The Santa Catalina Mountains — Image by kenne
He sat on the pine needles
Next to a medium size pine
Pondering the moment
Sweeping away illusions
Before contiuing the hike
On the Box Camp trail.

How may we overcome the fear of birth and death
and arrive at the state that is as indestructible as a diamond?
What way can direct us in our practice
to sweep away our thousands of illusions?
If the awakened mind shows its compassion
and opens up for us the treasure store,
then we may bring into our lives
the wonderful diamond teachings.
— from The Diamond That Cuts through Illusion by Thich Nhat Hanh
