A Week of Buddhas

How many Buddhas can I find and photograph in a week? NOT counting any inside my house......















I love this big Buddha head with the glass reflecting the sky and people outside.......IN the midst of all our human-ness, busi-ness, thoughts, feelings, to-do lists, Buddha images remind me to take a deep breath, smile to myself, and feel my feet on the earth.

I feel grateful for everything, and all of you in my life.

Love, Alysse.

For Children of the World

Try saying this to a child this week:
You are a marvel.

You are unique.
In all the years that have passed,
there has never been another child like you.

Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers,
the way you move.
You may become a Shakespeare,
a Michaelangelo, a Beethoven.

You have the capacity for anything.
- Cellist, and poet, Pablo Casals
