Enlightenment
The Buddha’s porcelain skin reflects the light around it. Its patina changes as the daylight goes by. In the outdoors, the Buddha seems to reflect the moods of nature. In other places, it can reflect the irony of a situation, like the peacefulness that can be found in commotion, or the loneliness that can be found in crowds.
Enlightenment was published in 2014 and is available for purchase here.
Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.

Doing nothing,
Spring comes
And the grass grows by itself.

When sitting just sit,
Above all, don't wobble.

To travel well is better than to arrive.
The Buddha
