Simply happy

Simply happy

Simply being

Purity of moment

Side by side

Side by side

An end for one

A beginning for another

A consciousness

A consciousness

that pops off

pure intent.

Beauty and purity

Beauty and purity

It's all in the source.

Not just a flower, not just purity

Nine Ink Painting Flowers (part)

by

Original, pure

Original, pure
so long untouched
by design.

Release to bloom

** Qi Baishi (1864-1957)

Bloom, nevertheless

** by Zhang Daqian (1899-1983)

Almost depleted

Almost depleted

Still standing tall

An honest journey

on pure intent.

Of black and white purity

Ode to beauty

Spread up, spread out

Scent, hue
Renewal.

A thing of beauty, always

We're together, in this

We're together, of this

mud below,

So long as the sun shines

We go on
taking and giving.

Do not be pushed off

Do not be pushed off

Do not be pushed on

Hold on to intent

Purity matters.

Tattered, tainted

Tattered, tainted

Return to source

Will bloom.

Once vibrant

Once vibrant

now leaving the cycle

Will return
pure again.

Can't hide

Can't hide

Can't stop bloom 

of pure intent.

My pride, my joy

My pride, my joy

All of one source.

Not straight but right

Not straight but right

A little wayward,

that's all.

Different, vastly different

Different, vastly different
yet of the same murkiness
Purity of separateness.

When a bloom drops

When a bloom drops

Something enriched

Roots still firm.

There was more

There was more
Doesn't mean less now
I've taken and I've given.

On to full bloom

On to full bloom

Celebrate journey

Forget not source.

It's not what you see

It's not what you see

It's how you see
Pure intent.

When one leaves

When one leaves
another arrives
Blessings!

Hold on

Hold on

Not the end

Mud sucks

but gives too.

Truth be told

 

Truth be told

Truth be bold

Purity of intent.

No different from you

No different from you

From one source

Perhaps one more torn than the other

We emerge too.

Keep me up

Keep me up

Keep me pure

even as I tend to lean. 

I have battled

I have battled

I have been

Bloom of labour.

When nature gives

When nature gives

Receive

There's place for all.

Blooming

Blooming

in times of 

differences and adversities

Blessings.

Let me bloom

Let me bloom
for better or for worse

for I have received.

Beauty endures

Beauty endures

in purity

of intent.

Black or white

Black or white

Mere choice

Return to source.

A fullness

A fullness

of goodness

Neither fear

nor favour

will submerge

purity of goodness.

Sometimes it happens

 

Sometimes it happens

Sometimes it does not

It may take awhile

Goodness does exist.

Consciousness

Consciousness

in perspective

Walk tall.
