I love being in a place
Where creativity thrives
Where paint and passion
Offer more vibrance and colour
Than nature’s grandest sunsets

Like a troubled bridge
Sometimes
It is not the water
Which troubles me
But the bridge
It is not the water
Which troubles me
But the bridge
Devotion
I wonder
Sometimes
At my devotions
Sometimes
At my devotions
Could I have been better
At this or at that
Had I offered more devotion
But of all the this
And all the that
Just two devotions have mattered
Fire, flowers and flow
In the moonlit night
Release flowers and fire
Into Ganga’s flow
Release flowers and fire
Into Ganga’s flow
For pilgrims and believers
A gift to Ganga, river goddess
Holy of holies
Source and purifier
Divine Smile
She reminds me
Of the many Buddhas I’ve seen
Of the many Buddhas I’ve seen
In Thailand
Malaysia
China
Japan
Though, not the laughing Buddha
The plump one
In the midst of
A rollicking guffaw
No, not that Buddha
Rather, the somber, reflective one
The one it seems
The weight of the world
Rests lightly
On his androgynous shoulders
Context ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #80
To understand
And embrace
Paradox
And embrace
Paradox
I recognize
The limits
Set by context
Which, I’ve learned
Confines me
Not reality
Inspiring Lights
Travelling
A pilgrimage
A pilgrimage
I flow through the world
And experience
Places
Moments
History
Present
I connect with people
And experience
Variance
Possibility
Convergence
Dichotomy
Insight and Chai
It’s these places
In the hills
The remote places
Small communities
Mostly self sufficient
Where the ubiquitous cell phone
Has no power
Connected to the world
By a narrow road
In the hills
The remote places
Small communities
Mostly self sufficient
Where the ubiquitous cell phone
Has no power
Connected to the world
By a narrow road
It’s these places
Where we are most
Who we are
And Now This, Live
The revolution will not be televised
But it will be watched
On small screens
Live
Recorded
Streamed
And shared
A million times over
Perhaps, that is a better thing
Finding the Roads into the Unknown
I journey into unknown lands
Seeking the roads
Which take me deep
Seeking the roads
Which take me deep
Where there are no maps
I keep faith
I’ll find my way
Where there are no roads
I keep faith
I can forge my own
