silent motion
Buddha took some Autumn leaves
In his hand & asked
Ananda if these were all
The red leaves there were.
Ananda answered that it
Was Autumn & leaves
Were falling all about them,
More than could ever
Be numbered. So Buddha said,
‘I have given you
A handful of truths. Besides
These there are many
Thousands of other truths, more
Than can ever be numbered.’

Living for the greening….for the buddha moments…..
When the flow of ordinary mental activity is interrupted, mind & eye stop. The flash of perception comes from nowhere, & it goes nowhere. That moment of coming back from distraction provides the contrast between being absent & being present, between being asleep & being awake, between thinking & seeing. You are shocked from your sleep & lose your place in your story line. It is direct & in focus. Whatever it is, it is here……..Andy Karr & Michael Wood….The Practice of Contemplative Photography
These are not illusory….not perfect moments…..this is my life. The shock & the beauty. Notice your color.
This brings up so many responses..leaving me speechless.
Thank you for sharing m.m….I think we are always somewhat ‘stunned’ & jerked back when we come back to the present moment…..
This was a beautiful interlude in my Sunday morning, and I loved the video – thank you! 🙂
Lovely….Sunday’s should be sweet:) Thanks so much for commenting…
