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.

Examine Your Beliefs
Thangka Shop, Kathmandu
After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto. ~Buddha
Problem is, I never pass the personal exam. I read the writing on the wall, "You've been examined and are found wanting." Maybe if I had an exquisite wall hanging like those in your posts I wouldn't have the read the writing. :)
butternut there's so much contained and encrypted in these i wish i knew the significance of some of the forms, the choice of colours, the juxtaposition of images. in their own right they're beautiful. steven
