white butterfly

 

press play above for sound, then proceed to all random sound/picture etc interaction (you can repeat playing the video because the sound track is at least twice as long as the video) while you peruse, just a touch.

butterfly facsimile, real rose

once in a while on a creative exploration you find a smooth distinct crevice where all waters flow together.

with "white butterfly", it started in a garden.

the little white butterflies. sometimes just 1, sometimes a whole group, sometimes a cavalcade, always a surprise.

butterflies are said to be a symbol of or maybe a manifestation of....angels.

what could be more anything than white butterflies in the garden? i heard myself ask.  oh many things, such as an eclipse of the moon, i answered. or the occasional monarch or yellow swallowtail, but still these little creatures were in the garden making quite a show of themselves every single day all summer long. and though there are still some winter vegetables, the flowers of summer are fading. and the white butterflies have flown away.



 

S.B.T. 399

karma returns to the boss

whomever you judged and how often 

you looked away as one cried out,

again those criticized, held in focus, 

were up for contempt or cast into doubt

ahead of their times, 

with an essence of tao—

we've known it since then, 

we still know it naow,

of course it'd be shocking to learn 

respect was one perk you'd not earn

blessing: 

one can do "well" 

and still not do right.

on witness do tell,

salute, say good night

to dishonor.

amen.
