Reflections.

"To live without hangups,

to be able to drift like cloud, and flow like water,

seeing all things in life is a magnificent illusion,

there's nothing to be afraid of."

"The perfect man employs his mind

as a mirror,

it grasps nothing,

it refuses nothing,

it receives, but does not keep."

(Chuang Tzu)

Nameless little flowers.

"My poems,

are like these nameless little flowers,

following the wind and the rain of the season,

Quietly blooming,

In this lonely world."

(Allen Gu Cheng)

The Window.

"The window is a form of

consiousness,

Pattern of formed sense

through which to look into the world."

(Wendell Berry)

Porcelain blue.

"The clearing blue sky was waiting for the misty rain,

While I was waiting for you,

Moonlight was fishing up from the water surface,

Ringing away the ending of round ripples,

Porcelain blue, handed down from ancient time,

your eyes carried smiling expression,

you difining away like a strand of smoke,

Went to the place where I could not reach.

(Qing Hua xi)

Happiness and Sadness.

"Sadness gives depth

Happiness gives height

Sadness gives roots

Happiness gives branches

Happiness is like a tree going into the sky

Sadness is like the roots going down into

the womb of the earth

Both are needed

And the higher the tree goes,

the deeper it goes,

stimultaneously

The bigger the tree

The bigger will be its roots,

In fact, it is always in proportion.

That is balance."

(Osho)

Come, let's go home...

"Faith we grind up with denial,

grist.

To the midnight mill

morning catalyst.

Come, let's go home where ever you think it is,

Nothing is true my dear,

not even this."

(J Allyn Rosser)

From a distance.

"Loving you from a distance,

it's a matter of miles

not heart."

Recepie for happiness.

"Live simply

Expect less

Give more"

Sunshine.

"If I accept the sunshine and warmth,

I must also accept the thunder and lightning."

(Khalil Gibran)

Make me needless of all.....

"Beloved,

show me the way out of this prison,

make me needless of both worlds,

pray, erase from mind

all that is not You.

Have mercy beloved,

though I am nothing but forgetfulness,

You are the essence of forgiveness,

make me needless of all

but You."

(Sa'di)

Anger.

"You will not punished for your anger,

You will be punished by your anger."

(Buddha)

You.

"One day you will ask me

which is more important?

my life or yours?

I will say, mine, and you will walk away

without knowing that you are my life."

(Khalil Gibran)

Temple.

"When you don't have temple in your heart,

how can you find your heart

in the temple?"

Bliss.

"Bliss began with the breath,

we breathe in

and accept all that is new,

we breathe out

and released all that has passed."

(Becoming yourself, Sara Wiseman)

Yoga.

"Yoga teaches us to cure

what need not be endured,

and

endured what cannot be cured."

(B.K.S.Iyengar)

Stronger.

"What doesn't kill us

makes us stronger."

(Nietzche)
