Stay In Middle Earth

Funny how a Queen Bee
is threatened
by the presence
of another Queen.

True friends
don’t compete.
Being seen.

I wonder if it’s worth it
to remain in proximity
to their energy?
Alchemy & all,
disruption for growth.

Wind rises and falls.
Home is safety,
amidst Queen Bees.

Blake

Life is not limited
to this physical world.

He perceived,
and thus his inner perspective:
a sacred realm.

He who stays faithful to his vision,
faithful to his friends, until the end.

Joy and loving,
seeing all beings as holy.

These are the sum
of reading William Blake.

Love expresses differently
as one ages with the world.

Love is here,
in the breeze of breath,
in tenderness,
in endearing moments,
in the silence
of two
and many.
Be free, Love.

I wish I could to see you in dress and fishnet, Bhante! That's awesome. And FYI, you would make a beautiful Elvish Queen! 🧝🏻‍♀️👑

A healed and healthy person would embrace both the femininity and the masculinity aspects of oneself without shame. I can be the man for my mother, a little girl for my dad and for myself only, I am the genderless child that still running around the garden with goose and puppies. ✨

The best morning of my life

Waking with a cool head
and a soft feeling in my chest.
warm heartbeats for the Sangha.
Breathing out all longing.
Breathing in peaceful air.
Breathing out, dropping more craving.
Breathing in, knowing.
Breathing out, loving.
Today is my peaceful day.

“Friends” on the path
set better traps than Māra!
Puthujjana, and their aims.

Spiritual flame
Burn every mask!
Moksha to ash!
Visuddhiya!

That’s awesome! Yes, I did my first surfing lesson this morning. It was fun. 🏄🏻‍♂️

Ocean being ocean
wave simply being the wave
all in their own place
G’day, mate! 🏄🏻‍♂️🌊

Your last mind moment,
sharp and instant,
taken by fear.

It could have been a stone.
It could have been a bullet.

You left behind your feathers…

Now, I am the witness.
Now, this dream catcher
cho những giấc mơ.
Holding your final horror
in this life.
Dear bird,
please rest!

Dream catcher

When I touch your feathers,
sadness veils over the heart.

That night, in my dream
I felt how you felt
the moment you passed away.

You were hunted.
It was sudden.

Startled, you turned
and were gone.

Toxic men keep recreating the same cycle: love bombing followed by betrayal, gaslighting, abuse, then pointing the finger at scapegoated women, labeling them “crazy.” It’s a bit boring & cliché, don’t you think? Yet this narrative works and has been recycled for generations throughout human history.

Watering my garden
in the morning light,
reciting rhythm to the bees
as they hum honey into my soul.

Thank you so much, Bhante, for your brilliant light and loving heart towards all of us! Bhante is not just the finger pointing at the moon, you landed on it! 😊 Sadhu Bhante to the moon and back! ✨🙏✨🌕

Orange sunrise over an ocean of gentle waves

What a shame the hate men don’t see how special this life is,

If they did, they’d be incapable of their cruelty.

Yesterday, while I was driving and thinking how I enjoy Dhamma. I was on my way to Dhamma talk. A car drove pass and the car plate was “Sukha”. Hmmm…what would Carl Jung says about that? It wasn’t the first time this happened. #dhamma #spiritualrealm

My heart is nurtured by the Dhamma! ✨💖✨

When I am sad and weary
When I think all hope has gone
When I walk along High Holborn
I think of you with nothing on.

If they’re weaker still,
they’re still a beautiful being.
✨😊✨

Morning prayers
May all beings peacefully wake. 🙏✨
I appreciate this world and all of its conditionings. My being is at peace 😊

Not for religion’s sake
do I suppress my sexuality,
the creative energy.

The landscape of the mind
is where boundaries and morality
unbind their ropes.

The wilderness of the mind
contains the beast inside,
yearning for truth
in its solitude.

A heart shape marking on your forehead.
My heart melted away
just by looking at Aloka’s sweet face.
Everyday, I send blessings and my love your way!

Don’t ever underestimate the human spirit nor attempt to reduce it to shallow labels and desires of the world! #thought #strongwill

Thank you so much for your kind words, Bhante. 🙏

“Internalized misogyny is going rampant lately” - a Dhamma friend said that. That’s the regconition of what unwholesome as unwholesome. And I felt so protected. "There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for".

Almost, I feel like I have to endure all these abusive words for the sake of spiritual and growing up. I meant this is not the first time I got abused by wounded people. But it still hurts.

A bhikkhuni told me: “Ayya said you are just a piece of trash if you are not being mindful.”

Oh wow, I finally understood some weirdo in my community. Called me a groupie for what they projected from their dark delusional self. I see! Jealousy is real! Smiled in my face today, effing effing effing self!
It was real connection cultivation from the heart, not their effing effing projecting!

Thank goodness my life is not crooked and my path goes directly to the sutta instead of reading material from abuser dressed as spiritual leader like Chögyam Trungpa.
