Greed and Happiness

Today I heard the term "squeezing happiness". It is actually a form of greed. As we all want happiness, some of us tend to chase after happiness excessively. The moment we think we found happiness, we tend to squeeze "happiness" so hard that we literally take the life force out of it. Gasp! :-(

There are really three kinds of greed, the first is "chasing happiness" which is the delusion of believing happiness is outside ourselves as an externally existing concrete phenomenon, and never bei... read more

Winged Princess

even the smallest of creatures embrace the sky
open their tender wings to the silvery morning sun
the flowers in the woods whisper their story
in perfect likeness listen
hidden behind the shadows of the mossy grasses
even the smallest of creatures knows her heart
tender strength is hidden inside her soft petals
where subtle scents mix with happy songs
and as the new sun arises high into the sky dome
the clouds taste once more so sweet and ripe
in the reflection of the the flowi... read more

another river

This flute plays
awakened songs
many rivers dry up
new rivers emerge
but the flute keeps playing
into the ether and beyond
this remembrance completes
what we came here for
as a beautiful song
we are swept along and
into other calm rivers
of peace!
------------------------------------
the sky again tastes
of raspberries
of strawberries
perhaps some blueberries
spring smells linger
silent songs resonate
unity vibrates
the cosmos celebrates
yes, we are one

Measure Distance

out of the purple
the birds fly high
then silence breaks the sky
you can hear a cat yawning
a scarf drying in the wind
a caterpillar walking
bending grasses whisper
the very seed inside my heart
has been planted to grow and fly
don't try to fly too soon
just feel the gentle floating lift
look at the horizon
which tastes of raspberries
the birds are already gone
and the air is still silent
the tulips explode powder
neither a twig nor a cloud
can measure what is distance
as i... read more

A Day of Care

pour out all you are
on each being with a smile
forget what is mine and what yours
when outside and inside
become one and the same
what is - flows out to all
refills empty jars
as you return from the forest
offer another flower
when even silence vanishes
what is left?
