JUST WORDS

They call it karma
Those who call themselves Buddhists
Yet love needs no name

About Ben Naga

The Spirit that graces me with its passing has no name and stems not from thoughts and words, though it gathers them up as it flows, but from feeling.

    wordless is a wonderful
    way to express love
    in action
    only 🙂

      OHNE WÖRTER (FLOWER SERMON TANKA)

      I picked a flower
      Twirled it between my fingers
      Sat waiting, smiling
      Till it divulged its secret
      But it just withered and died

    I read somewhere this morning, impossible to find now, that love needs no object…

    Nicely expressed, Ben. One on which to meditate…
