‘Ant on a stone mill’, by Zen Master Hakuin Ekaku (1686-1769).
“I do not wish to convert people from one organised religion to another; I have no interest in any of these organised religions. My interest is in Dhamma the truth, the teachings of all Enlightened Ones. If at all there is any conversion, it should be from misery to happiness, from defilement to purity, from bondage to liberation, from ignorance to enlightenment.”
— Satya Narayan Goenka
“We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infinitesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future. We have no present. Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality. We confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the world which actually is. We are sick with a fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas.”
— Alan Watts
We don’t grow older, we grow riper.

You’re witnessing the Universe’s frescos on the humble person of Jupiter. On the last photo, you observe a love story between the magnetic field of a pole and charged particules of the deep wild space. Their rotative dance is so passionate that it glows, crowning Jupiter of their love.
Because I love that Scottish Blonde too
Travelling, that I did, a lot. Keeping in line with a 周易 drawing made some 50 years ago now — 旅, 56.
Then I stopped, made a tour sur moi-même and realized.
There, 道 is
The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.
- G.K. Chesterton
