  1. I love this page, Don.
    well done.

    Reading Padhy's haiku I was reminded of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, who said, "You may call a tree a standing man, and a man a walking tree,”

    Ultimately the oneness of all things

  2. Thank you so much, Kala - the ultimate goal (and ground of being), the oneness of all.

    best,
    Don

  3. The predatory hawk caught in a tender moment is a stirring image.
