MonkThoughts

A nun once asked the abbess:
"What is the meaning of life?"
The abbess replied:
"What motivates your question?"
 The nun thinking for a while said:
"Fear."
The abbess said:
"Resolve your fear and you won't need 
an answer to the meaning of life."

MonkThoughts

A visiting monk asked the abbess,
 "How do I know if I am wasting my time?"
The abbess replied:
"If you are suffering."

MonkThoughts

The Abbess taught:
"If you want to discover 
what you don't know yet about yourself, 
investigate why you say what you say."

MonkThoughts

A young monk asked the abbess:
"How can I recognise if someone is enlightened?"
The abbess replied:
"The first thing to consider, 
is if they are helpful to other human beings."

ThenIFoundThis



still watching my shadow
watching found works in the forest
there is a rich booty
to be found daily everywhere
Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

BeEphemeral



On my daily walk
another ephemeral art work 
found in the forest

and be ephemeral
make a work and email it to me
I will post it on my blog
