Dialouge

Panda talks about freedom, family and her attitude. Willing to share honest truth & emotions.

Unname the present to see visions of the future, said a prophet.

The army of trees, river saga, roots.

How much are you willing to give up to play this music?

What I want to hear is what you don't know.

I'm just a beginner.

Transcendent function brings opposites together.

Memory, logic, imagination.

Sing

Clouds gather mass

Rain song

Waves curl dance

Empty beach

Sandcastles

Meditation

I appear every seventeen years. What am I?

*

In dreams begin responsibility – W.B. Yeats

Khmer family hauls relatives, pots, pans, kids and laughter

To a never ending beach party

 

Healthy Fear Doubt & Uncertainty stalks courage

In a random universe

Everyone talks at once

Because they are too poor to pay attention

The loudest one

Is Happy Noise champion

 

Ladies and gentlemen

Step right

Up

The Greatest Show on Earth!

Buy a ticket

Take the ride

 

Kid shovels sand

Wave waves farewell to a wave

 

Lost blind eyed adults

Minus attention span

Discuss whining possibilities

In unforgiving universe

Small skinny children sing

My stomach comes first

 

Waves of churning

Wisdom seeking wisdom

Laugh

In a floating world Ukiyo-e

Dreams accept responsibility

You become the thing you fight the most

Your mask eats your face

Dogen

Language creates a false world (but) the only way out of that false world is through language.

Go beyond language through language.

Spirituality & Art. Impulse.

A deeper reality. Visionary.

*

Written by the mendicant monk Dōgen, September 26, 1242.

From the single blossom five leaves uncurled: Upon one single leaf a Tathagata stood alone.

Her vow to harmonize our lives is ocean deep,

As we spin on and on, shouldering our deeds of right and wrong.

*

Dogen's Death Poem

Fifty-four years lighting up the sky.
A quivering leap smashes a billion worlds.
Hah!
Entire body looks for nothing.
Living, I plunge into Yellow Springs.

Dogen (1200-1253)

Symphony

Night waves crash into foam silence

Ebb tide sings invisible musical interlude

How it feels after Kampot cement, cycles, horns,

Symphonies of process down all the days

Winging free swiftlets sky


The sea churned all day

Blue green

Fragments of gray blue clouds cover a thin horizon line

Near horizon it was purple

Silver ran inland to meet green blue floating waves

Energy flows toward white brown sand rolling energy

Created banks of white waves

Whitecaps roll tumble crash curl wearing atoms and molecules

A gentle mixture of force and calm eases into sand land

A band of sunset pink tongued with purple sails west into high cumulus

Beach town quiet

Growing empty at May’s end

Long mass of gray clouds dances on horizon

Light fades as swimmers run jump dive into waves

Beach walkers stare inland

Their eyes are lost if they see sea

It’s too much to comprehend

Too vast

Too immense beautiful and complete

Clouds gather mass

Rain song

Waves curl dance

Empty beach

Sandcastles

Meditation

In dreams begin responsibility – W.B. Yeats

Precious

Unhappy people in a happy world

Sign ones talk with hands eyes heart

Voice ones – the loudest talker is big life’s winner minus comprehension

Photography > invisible > experiment > experience > innocent > detour > go slow

Everything is special and precious

You are a miracle
