The Buddha Walked just to enjoy walking,
unconcerned about arriving anywhere at all.
Each step was slow ,balanced & peaceful.
Walking with quiet Dignity,
Observing each Breath & Step.

The Meeting of Dido & Aeneas,
by Nathaniel Dance-Holland
Justice would be a simple matter, if men were
simple but Men are not content with a simple life:
they are acquisitive, competitive,& jealous;
The result is the encroachment of one group upon the territory of another,the rivalry of groups for the resources of the soil,& then War.
“Then democracy comes: the poor overcome their opponents, slaughtering some & banishing
the rest ;& give to the people an equal share of freedom &
power”.
But even democracy ruins itself by excess ,of Democracy.
"Life is a storm,my friend.
You will bask in the sunlight 1 moment,
be shattered on the rocks the next.
What makes you a man is what
you do when that storm comes.
You must look into that storm &
shout: Do your worst, for I will do mine!"

We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth & heaven,that which we are,We are,
1 equal temper of Heroic hearts,
Made weak by time & fate,but strong in will
