Faces passing,
People moving,
A thousand stories
Strolling by.

Each one a drop of life,
Flowing down a river,
To the sea

Birth, death,
Calm and stillness,
Movement and change,
Never and now.

Everything flows,
Everything crumbles,
Reassembles itself,
Always, and never the same.

When impermanence knocks at your door you’d better be prepared to open up and let her in, she’ll just kick it down anyway if you don’t. #zen

Wishing for the sound of rain on my window as I surrender to the gentle drowsiness of sleep. Good night.

All our problems and tragedies stem from our not realizing life is but a big practical joke and we happen to be the punchline. #life #zen

A rock and a hard place can only crush you when you are too solid, if you flow like water you’ll simply slip thru the cracks. #zen #life

Life is but a constant flow of change, it’s only our lack of attention that creates the illusion of permanence and stability. #zen #life

Being here and being there,
Lights and shadows burning bright.
Memories of times gone by
Swiftly roll by in my mind.

A moment of anger is the tip of a very slippery slope, if you don’t back away in time you are sure to hurt yourself and others badly. #zen

Enjoying the gentle purring of our cats cuddling beside us in a lazy Sunday morning.
