Roses and the Buddha

I adore roses and these bowed their heads after a heavy downpour of 15 minutes this late afternoon.

They grow beside the Buddha. And true to his/her self, Buddha is not impressed by their beauty. He smiles on all things because he sees beauty in all things. And that makes him happy - so he smiles.

Today I had a lovely swim; chat; Butlers coffee; visited my mother who is still in some pain since her fall; harvested apples; scrubbed the kitchen table; hoovered the house and last but not least discovered some amazing artwork from Batman (I will explain at a later date).

Some music

See extra to see her/his smile.
In life, whether you choose to smile or frown in the face of good/bad fortune …. Well that’s entirely up to you. p.s. the Buddha asked me to pass that on to you, yes he/she did.
