Windowpane

Windowpane
Manly Australia October 2022

Spaces for reflections, Windowpanes. One sees the world on the other side of the window, and that view as well as the pane itself provides one with food for thought.

Golden Buddha on the Balcony Ledg

Golden Buddha on the Balcony Ledge

Sydney Australia September 2022











The old aphorism 'Don't forget to look up' is worth talking notice of sometimes. Here a so-called chance glance upwards was rewarded with this little vision of the Lord Buddha.

Harbourside Tidal Pool

 Harbourside Tidal Pool

Sydney Australia September 2022








There are many Tidal Pools along the east coast of Australia. Not only on the coast either: A number of them are located inside the beautiful harbour around which Sydney sits. They are often very quiet (especially on week days) and can be lovely spots for quiet meditations. Not to mention safe and appealing places to swim.

Little Raven On Winter Wood

Little Raven On Winter Wood
Broken Hill Australia August 2022 


One of the walks the hermitage residents took in that desert place passed a century old church. Outside that church stands this tree. And on this tree sat this bird. Beauty everywhere. A tree, a bird, a blue sky with pink clouds of approaching sunset makes for an almost abstract scene. Sometimes the material world 'Ain't so bad' to coin a phrase.

Transplanted

A forest of palms transplanted to the concrete of the harbourside. Truly adds another dimension to that cliched description of cities as 'concrete jungles'.

Welcome to the Garden of the Buddha

The Buddha welcomed us to the Hermitage in the desert, and there we stayed for a few months till the call came to once again set out on the pilgrimage road.



The Ferryman Waits and Watches

A small space and time of quiet waiting for the ferry to dock. This ferryman keeps watch while he waits for that arrival. Then then he will shepherd his passengers onboard for their journey.

Walking slowly and mindfully I allow the world to find my eye. And my heart too of course. Here's an appealing reminder that we will find beauty everywhere, including the ground we walk upon.
