As we enter and branch off
In & as each different stream of water,
Let us share flow equitably as pressure,
May no loose colmation of ignorance
Seperate us. To the maturity of our emotions
And to the equality of our intellect;
May we wash away
All the built up silt and dead rot,
Which if without purpose
Only exists as an obstacle
Toward greater understanding.
May we wind & wade not
Where we face arrest by impasses
But are found by oceans.
May we be worthy,
That we walk away
More than we entered.

dreaming of buddhist
monk i am not even close
i write poetry

The more enlightened
   you become
the more power
   you have

to create
a new mind
a new life
a new world!

Surrounded by darkness
Put myself in that harness
I think that’s the hardest
part to accept

My
Childhood did not unfold
The way I wanted to
But come eighteen
I blossom
Like a lotus
In the mud.

Moon falls behind hills
solitary shadows
autumn wind
silence
bits of stars
vague and remote
walking amongst
ancient trees
in a courtyard
in the depths
of a temple
the flicker of lamps
the saffron of robes
the sound of wooden fish
the sound of Namo Amitabha is
peace
quiet like a flower, a grass
a wind, a rain
a sand, a stone
a dream, a season.

The name is karma
Or Elena
I am odd duck
And unique person
Like a fingerprint
Or DNA
I don’t like chess
I am not a computer
Nor am I cold hearted
I love art
Poetry,
Photography
Languages
And anything that life
Has to offer
I am human
Are you??!!

‪When I ‬
See the circular
Diamond in the night
Sky

Everything glows
Snow and all

I have an enlightening experience
