Crowmanic replied
Thx helene, once again, you fast, reliable, and sometimes add critique. I did put some time and effort into this, though not “everybody’s cup of tea” I’m sure … these days, looks like just you stayed when all others seem to have vaporised or gone out to play? Maybe I’m serving the “wrong” type of tea? [wink]
helene ruiz

Thank you for saying so, perhaps “beautiful peace” could be the same? Travel well.
PS: Is the crane in your artwork like some kinda totem or skin/animal in your life?

Pure reflection of pure quietness..
Eyes of the beholder.
The sun is never sunsetting…
When in night…..
and the moon is sleepness…
their refection is note there.
It was said that when he became “enlightned”..
he…somehow perceived the absurdity..
of all.. including his ascetic purposes..
and the first thing he did was to feed himself
and bathe..(he must have stinked then…after so much meditation).
Wise attitude..humble and consistent.
Since then..he is walking as Jesus or other Avatars of the Human Soul, shoulder by shoulder with us…trying to make us meet enlightment….all of us…and I tell that this will be completed when the wandering male avatars..will find and couple and share again… with “She”...the Eternal Giver of Life…the Eternal Womb …..the Archetypal Mother….
Why do they insist that all enlightened creatures do come frm Virgins…? that is an insult to all the mothers of the earth..an insult to The Great
Besides these disquisitions…I love the meditating moment…suspended in time…without not a single “photon” changing pattern or shade…for when in enlightment….the source of wisdom comes not from the sun…but from the specular internal Soul ..you have achieved this dimension
