Reflections

This is my life



Poking about



In purple techni-color fashion




reflecting in smiles




People might make life complicated.

Yet it's in front of us,
reflected in possibilities
of each smile we pass by.

I don't take many picture as the moments tumble across my path, but occasionally some fun ones gather about the dust bins of my computer folders.

I could go on and on about memories, pictures, red dust, attachments etc, yada, yada, why I often refuse or skip out of being photographed...

In the end: I have no desire or need to be remember by anyone, As a Taoist my actions are to leave the most minor physical traces... as "possibly" a lingering smile, as a tickling breeze of what might be...

The greatest measure of who we are: are our reflections captured within a smile.

Lovely pictures of people awake and alive with life.

Lucky you. ;^)

I found that as long as we don't attach to the results or try to force our interactions to go a certain way, it is fine to be emotionally attached to others. It's when we try to control others or the outcomes of interactions that we get into trouble.

As to being remembered, I'm with you. Some will remember me, many won't, so what? It is not important. What is important is to be fully present when we are here, fully awake and alive.

Namaste.

:) yes the illusion of control is the breaking point of many activities. Or is control a delusion?
