eighty-four thousand poems


The sounds of streams are Buddha's speech.
The colored mountains are Buddha's pure body.
Night brings eighty-four thousand poems of Buddha.
Listen, and someday you may awaken.

- Su Shih (1031-1101)


Sometimes the light and the focus fall in place and the end result is something stunning in its detail and the 3D effect. I can't explain it, there is clarity that comes through on its own.


Spotted like a disease the colour comes close to the original even though it is purple again. This is the top of the plant that produced the abstract below.


Like bread crumbs along a pathway leading to the creature harbored within the spotted tube of a flower is a strange place to be.


Shattered into a million little pieces the grasp on reality, tenuous at best has slipped away in the reflective design guaranteed to take the mind into uncharted territory.

flower's vortex
channel this essence
like swirling thoughts
on a slowing-down merry-go-round
pulling them in closer as movement ceases
and I begin
