If anyone is magically
going to appear and suddenly
make your life better
just know that person is
always going to be You

A sari-clad street vendor walks house-to-house through the bylanes of Ramana Nagar, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India, balancing on her head a large stainless steel bowl filled with fresh leafy greens and other garden vegetables such as 'keerai' for sale. On 3 August 1929 at Ommen, Holland, Jiddu Krishnamurti dissolved the Order of the Star in the East, a global organisation of 75,000 members founded to support him as the 'World Teacher', marking his break from the Theosophical Society. He rejected the role of messiah and returned all associated money and property, including a castle in the Netherlands, declaring: "I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organised; nor should any organisation be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path." https://youtu.be/E6DZUsIBt4A https://youtu.be/oYLei31eEB0
I maintain that Truth is
a pathless land,
and you cannot approach it
by any path whatsoever,
by any religion, by any sect.
J. Krishnamurti, 20th century

Every day, as soon as spring arrives
From early morning at the crack of dawn
Until the end of the evening, he flits about
The bumblebee travels from flower to flower
He has become the beloved, the dashing one.

My, what pretty flowers...aaaaAAHhHhRrhrhhggg....is what a bee's last thoughts would be visiting the wife's Cleveland Sage right now. That crab spider I nailed a couple of weeks ago, look it up, is larger now, and hunting the same sweet smelling flowers, just catching some rays...and anything else!
Patience is not sitting and waiting,
it is foreseeing.
It is looking at the thorn
and seeing the rose,
looking at the night
and seeing the day.

Let the winds of dawn that blow
Softly round your dreaming head

When streams are ripe and swelled with rain

Resting in my arms again" - Paul Simon.

Close-up macro photograph of multiple delicate translucent petals of Honesty flowers (Lunaria annua), set against a dark, moody background. The petals form soft, ethereal clusters that overlap, resembling ghostly wings. Small, sharp, vibrant crimson nectaires—looking like tiny hearts—are precisely placed at the center of the flowers. Soft, indistinct bokeh lights of pink and pale red add to the mysterious, melancholic atmosphere in the blurred background
Silken wings that offer no refuge,
only a place to hold these few scarlet anchors,
each one an unyielding memory that keeps my heart grounded in the past.

To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.

Mother of Muses, sing for my heart
Sing of a love too soon to depart
Sing of the heroes who stood alone
Whose names are engraved on tablets of stone
Who struggled with pain so the world could go free
Mother of Muses, sing for me

A capture of the moon rising in early evening. The sky pale blue, low cloud catching the hints of pink. Hawthorn blossom in the foreground.
How sweet the moonlight
sleeps upon this bank.
Here will we sit and
let the sounds of music
creep in our ears:
soft stillness and the night
become the touches of sweet harmony.
-William Shakespeare
Have a lovely day gentle souls.

My eye perceives a yin yang of light and shadow dividing the frame with four Mule Deer in black and white foraging a shady slope beneath sunlit Ponderosa Pines.

A minimalist macro shot of a single, reddish-brown twig topped with a cluster of small, withered dark seeds. The twig and its buds stand in sharp focus against a deep, entirely clear blue sky. Other branches appear as soft, out-of-focus lines in the background. The lighting is crisp and solar, highlighting the dry texture of the plant against the infinite azure
Searching for your face in a sky that has forgotten your name,
blue like the vastness of your absence.
Bitter seeds, devastatingly empty.
The sun is out, but I am still shivering in the shadow of your memory.

On soft spring nights
I'll stand in the yard under the stars
something good will come out of
all things yet, and it will be
golden and eternal just like that.
There's no need to say another word
