A Butterfly
Probably my best shot so far of a butterfly 🙂
Don’t know the exact name of this butterfly. Probably a Nymphalidae, Heliconiinae / Argynnis
Common Darter
I had one of these fellows visiting the garden. Could get close to take some nice shots 🙂
Broad-bodied Libellula
Found this beauty today at the Childrens farm. Have been quite busy lately, so that’s why i’m blogging a bit less. All part of the ever changing flow of life 🙂
18: Flower of Compassion
Flower of Compassion
Oh flower of the heart
Shine your light over us
Open up and show your beauty
The guiding force
You know what it is like
To be vulnerable
Naked and alone
You know there is no need
To be afraid of our tears
You grow so easily
As you are inherent within us
On the good soil of pure intent
Our wish for all to be happy
Stems from your seeds
Oh flower of compassion
Love is your guiding light
Teach us to be human
Help us to accept
The basic uncertainty of life
This poem was inspired by the documentary Crazy Wisdom (2011) about the late Tibetan Buddhist Master Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Rinpoche taught people how to become warriors of Shambhala, how to become genuine human beings. A beautiful and encouraging message worth contemplating.
