Words of Wisdom

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
 Buddha

A million suns

Here's a picture from our trip today that blew my mind. The magnificent Sun is reflecting in each tiny ripple...just like the endlessly loving force of the universe (God) lives in each and every soul and atom there is! ♥

Love

"Love is our highest word and the synonym of God."

Stargazing is englightening. Observing the cosmos helps me realize my own insignificance. It also gives me a magnificent sense of serenity and peace...I feel completely in place and ONE with the universe. It's paradoxically enlightenting.
This painitng was inspired by my dear sweet wonderful cousin.
