It is so simple
I love the images of Budhhas, Boddhisattvas, Dakinis, Gods and Goddesses that accompany your posts. Nowadays they also seem to come in from all directions in the net, and just looking seems to be an act of grace, reminder of the subtle act of being arising from all the noise and frenzy. All at the tap of a finger. We are in amazing times.
