is like drowning:
flashes of the past
flow before your eyes.

With the knowledge
of hindsight,
you watch
and recognise
the failures,
the weaknesses;
the massing of the clouds
that will (in a moment: in an eternity)
obscure the sun.

Welcome, and Namaste

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
