Plaited

When I was behind her listening to the Dali Lama.. there was no translation so my mind wandered… Her braids has my mind in a tizzy…. so I shot them.. what a old beautiful Soul she was.. transfixed on his message to the Tibetans who climbed mountains literally to come see him.. in secret.

    Well.. let me tell you story.. just.. one day in Dharmsala.. little nun I befriended says.. Linaji..come come..she pulls my arm.. then I go with her..The Dali Lama is meeting with a group of Tibetan Nuns and Monks just in from escaping Tibet.. so I meet him too.. so honored I.. held his hand to my forhead and he blessed my beads.. i did bad thing and looked him in eye.. then his eyes smiled.. like light …never seen this before.. I felt soo good.. and I was lucky sure friend..

    wow….lina….this is beautiful….reminds me of my great grandmother who wore her hair like this and at night she would undo it and let us kids brush it…..i love this…..

  • linaji replied

    I would have loved to have had a grandmother with long hair… or a mother.. both cut their off and were very modern that way.. but the thought of being a child with the moment like yours is very pleasing..

    This is the story I want you to write, Lina. When did you hear the dali lama speak? I want to know it all … I want the story. This shot pulls at my heart in a way I can hardly express. But there are tears forming in my eyes when I look at this. Promise you will give me time one day to hear the story … when you are not rushed and have the time to reflect and remember and share.

    Thank you so much, Lina for sharing this.

    And silently felt I was climbing, plaid by plaid..
    the hair of that wonderful woman.
    I felt small… but strong,
    wished to get to the Crown..
    and see what she can see..
    and hear what she can hear…
    and smile her smiles..
    and wet her lips with my tears.
    And the when I was almost atop..
    she shaked her head…
    and felt I was falling into an abyss…
    Not until I discovered that I had wings to fly…
    arms to take the sun beams…
    mouth to sip the dew….
    and was in constant tunning..
    with the
    Music of the Spheres.
    Rosa… (thanks a lot Lina for your visit to my Full… he means much to me.. but I won’t do the pack… no… with feeling them it is enough. )

    And the when I was almost atop..
    she shaked her head…

    mouth to sip the dew….
    and was in constant tunning..
