mysteries


Was that fruit or sweets? In one wat only, this extravagantly
flowering tree; it's name? Where do we buy golden bodhi leaves?
What were the messages written on this stack of old tiles?
Is gold leaf burnished fully, later, or what?
I recall the unanswered questions when I see the photos again.


Who are these people looking out at us from another age?
Can people place their statues anywhere, or must
they first be blessed? &, again & again: what is the story here?
Language isn't the only barrier ~ it's quite difficult for me
to approach a person or group & say I'd like to meet them.
Sometimes a mutual interest, & we exchange smiles.
