Temples

Sometimes words can escape us and summing up how you look at life is no easy task. For me personally I haven't yet decided how I look at life. I have many an idea but they seem to be forever evolving as new experiences continue to wash over me.

Luckily it's easy to find inspiration in the words of others. I read this following piece a little while ago and I've been playing it in my head ever since.

I really wanted to post it so here goes.

"There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; The philosophy is kindness."

~ Dalai Lama

Rain

I never get tired of watching the rain. A massive downpour just hit my neighbor-hood so I went to get some garden shots as it began to lighten up.

Though I had to get back inside when the thunder and lightning started I was still able to get a handful of new pics.

The garden here is beautiful in the rain and it's one thing I'm really going to miss. I'll try and post as many garden shots as possible while I'm still here.

This pic shows my Buddha (praying for rain?) on the corner of the deck.

I also wanted to mention my StoneGarden email link is now closed and has been for some time but I added an email link on my profile page.
