HUNDGÄNGET!

My First BIG Photo Competition

OJ - jag har just fått ett HEDERSOMNÄMNANDE i grand-prix tävlingen i tidningen Kamera & Bild (nr 10) med den här bilden:
WOW - I just received a HONORABLE MENTION for this picture, in the Swedish Photographic journal Kamera & Bild, nr. 10:

Re-re-re-relaxed

Nice. Relaxed.  Almost started what I should have started today - haha. Not very worried about anyhting right now.  Equanimity.  A small reminder of when Shamarpa visited us... Do miss him a lot.

my sweet old dogs...

Lucifer och Amy - sommaren 2012

Summer of '15

1.) visit from Khandro-la:

2.) then visit from Ignacio!

Resulting in lots of excursions:

How much do I love Thee?

Thee = my kids, my husband and our animals - and our dear dear friends!

I am sitting here in Dublin - after a whirlwind stint with Ngari Khangtsen in St. Vith performing a Medicine Buddha Mandala.  And I am reflecting.  How beautiful my kids are, my hubby and all surrounding me. I am eternally thankful to all of you mentioned above in the the word THEE.

I would not be this thankful, I believe, without the touch of Buddha and without the seemingly supernatural guidance of my Buddhist teachers here and elsewhere.
I probably would be just huffin' and puffin' trying to make ends meet.
The extra spice that I get from meeting the likes of Geshe Palden is that feeling of total love for all the good I have received, the total love for Good, the compassion for the Ignorant. Thank you (??) - for whatever Karma I may have acquired - and let me continue on this path...

My children - the pearls of my eyes, the diamonds, the treasures of my being. I do love you like no-one... alway will.  Regardless of death and anything that happens. Believe me - that is eternal.

My hubby - a solid, straightforward trustworthy man - someone who accompanies me and supports me.  Really!  Thru thick and thin.  I cannot believe this is true sometimes.  Without him - no kids.  LOVE.

Our animals - the faithful, loving, sweet companions.  Hope you have enjoyed the time you spent with us.  Love you to bits.

My Buddhist teachers - lay and otherwise, Kagyu, Nyingma and Gelug (the ones I have met) - you are the precious crown of Buddhist Thought and Action. Just pure pure pure love.

OM MANI PEME HUNG!

turned 60 last fri!  WONDERFUL PARTY with friends and family!  And immediately got my b-day gift - my BIG MAMA superlens:

And took these three pix with it immediately:

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!!!

4 Noble Truths - small reflection.

Oh my... I think I finally comprehend.  Not all but at least some.  Not because of great tragedy, but because of the incessant impermanence - the continuous ups and downs, sweeping you here and there emotionally and mentally. Getting tired of it, indeed.  

Vad ÄR det med folk?

I fejjans flöde finns den ena naivare åskådningen efter den andra. Folk (inkl mig) postar saker utan att kolla upp dem, vidarebefordrar utan aaaaning om sanningshalt. Media är enögda. Journalister knappt bättre än medelsvenssons i sin research - o vi köper aftonblaskorna utan knussel.

Vet ni - I believe most of it could be characterized as gossip. 'Nough said.

A few VERY BIG NEWS and a few smaller ones

MY DAD turned 90 on the 19th - that is the BIG ONE:

Then there is Valdemar - who turned 6 months 

on the 7th of January:

And then of course Arnold who turned 22 on the 29th of January.  Only the pic of him and grandpa in a Sheik's head-dress above is available... 

Small things - but still big!  SOON it is LOSAR the year of the WOODEN GOAT/SHEEP... my year!  YEAH!

And then - do look at this link and enclosed video - DZONGSAR ROCKS!
