For a hundred generations
Constructed for Gautama
In honour of compassion
And the light of self-reflection
Gather here in peace
Quieting your mind
Listen for my voice
The wisdom of the ancients
Still, I am just a structure
A physical reminder
Of the path which you can follow
I am not the Buddha
To his path I cannot lead you
On your own, you’ll find your way
Each week I provide a photograph of mine along with a single word. The challenge? Use the pic and/or word as points of inspiration to create something — a photograph, a painting, prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, longread or just a few words. You are welcome to use these two elements (photograph and word) literally, thematically or metaphorically. If you create both images and words, all the better.
To participate:
- Use any title you like
- Your response can be words and/or an image
- Better if the words are your own
- You may use my image in your post, or any image you have created
- Place the challenge’s Pic (if you use it for inspiration) and Word prominently in your post
- Mention that you are responding to the Pic and a Word Challenge
- Add a link to this post in your response
To help us find your response, you can also:
- Add a comment on this post to announce your response
- Apply the tag “Pic and a Word Challenge” to your post
Each week, I’ll list the previous week’s responses at the end of the new challenge. I may also share some on my social media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, etc.
Last week breathable air… This week, let’s show some compassion.
The word for last week’s Pic and a Word Challenge #32 was Atmosphere, along with this photograph of Vancouver’s English Bay from Ambleside Park.
A couple bloggers found the air breathable this week. Thanks for your submissions! =)
