Evening Glow
These days, truth has disappeared. In a peculiar way, it just doesn’t matter. No reason to fight for truth. I can believe anything to be true, and I don’t believe in anything. Immediacy and impermanence are my closest siblings. They sing songs from the roofs, sometimes as the birds, with their light chirping, just for… Continue reading Evening Glow

It’s a quiet winter morning, the sun is shining. Trains pass by smoothly. Some birds are singing, some crows are calling out. A few dead leaves, refusing to let go of the tree, rustle in the wind.

When the mirror breaks
Suffering is at home in the belief of a separated self. It’s the belief that life as it appears is deeply wrong, that it should be different or better. It’s also the belief that life and all its sensations are owned personally, that there’s someone to blame, to take responsibility, to have choice, to be… Continue reading When the mirror breaks
