Reflections on ice
Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you’re just a reflection of him?

Crates and barrels. (Petroleum Centre train depot. Oil Creek State Park, Pennsylvania.)
This is one of those posts where I have images, but no words of my own to go with them. Sometimes they turn out to be pretty decent posts. Other times, not so much. We’ll just have to wait and see where it goes.

you have the answer;
you know who you are
and you know what you want.~ Lao Tzu

Light dancer
If we demand enlightenment, it hides. . . All that we can do is make ourselves enlightenment-prone. We learn to treasure the possibility of awakening in all moments and circumstances. We learn to simplify and cultivate the receptivity of heart that can be touched by profound understanding. We learn to listen deeply and discover stillness amid the movement in our world.

Morning glow
When you are full of meditativeness, it means you are at the very center of your being. The experiencing of the very center of your being starts blossoming into love, into laughter, into a song, into a dance.
~ Osho

Landing
The bud
stands for all things
even for those things that don’t flower,
for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing;
though sometimes it is necessary
to reteach a thing its loveliness,
to put a hand on the brow
of the flower,
and retell it in words and in touch,
it is lovely
until it flowers again from within, of self-blessing.~ Galway Kinnell
I’ve posted this poem sometime in the past (it seems like long ago), and it came to mind this morning as I was pondering “what next?”
