Tears of Shiva shed into rivers. Cherry blossoms fell. The goddess of the confluence admired them for a time
before she released them. The tears scoured suffering. The petals added beauty. The river flows on.
I watch where streams of consciousness flow into one another and write what I see.

The Path of Pleasure
This is a calf, not a dog, Kathmandu
Katha Upanishad 1:2:1
There is a path of joy and there is the path of pleasure. Pondering on them, the wise (one) chooses the path of joy; the fool takes the path of pleasure.
The trick is knowing and appreciating the difference. I think the cow is enjoying the sun there in the street. Or is it pleasure to know she can stay there without being annoyed?
