Path work


Monks at Pongour Falls in Dalat, Vietnam by photographer Dang Ngo.
Known as the 7 Layers Waterfall, Pongour Falls is located just outside of Dalat (Lam Dong province) and is the largest waterfall in the region. The water drops about 30 meters (98.5 ft), and flows dramatically over 7 ‘layers’ into a big pool at the bottom.
Perhaps these layers connect to the 7 layers of Heaven? Or  to the 7 layers of the aura? Are these monks meditating as they come down? Is that even possible on a slippery path like this? Or ...?

A good life

Photograph by 2-Ta  / text from Alexander's Gray 's poem 'on a cat ageing'

Louder he purrs, and louder,
in one glad hymn of praise
for all the night's adventures,
for quiet, restful days.



Life will go on for ever,
with all that cat can wish:
warmth and the glad procession
of fish and milk and fish.
