"A star ...."

A star at dawn,

a bubble in a stream,

a flash of lightning in a summer cloud,

a flickering lamp,

a phantom and a dream,

so is the fleeting world.

Diamond Sutra

Take happiness home

Happiness kingdom
Land of happiness
Bhutan, the last Shangri-la
Take happiness home

Pristine 

Domestic bliss

Solitare 

Peachy and plump

Lucky symbols

Overcast sky, soon refreshing air

Taktsang Lhakhang/The Tiger's Nest

Awe inspiring from any angle

A view from Taktsang Lhakhang

Waterfall before Taktsang Lhakhang

Apple trees everywhere

Sunflower grows wild

Morning glory galore

Green gourd

For devotion, peace and tolerance

Young cypress tree - national tree

Unique takin - national animal

Breathtaking

Mountain peaks, as far as the eye can see

Clouds, at eye level

"From this hour ...."

From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of limits and imaginary lines,

Going where I list, my own master total and absolute,

Listening to others, considering well what they say,

Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating,

Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.

I inhale great draughts of space,

The east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine.

I am larger, better than I thought,

I did not know I held so much goodness.

All seems beautiful to me,

I can repeat over to men and women You have done such good to me I would do the same to you,

I will recruit for myself and you as I go,

I will scatter myself among men and women as I go,

I will toss a new gladness and roughness among them,

Whoever denies me it shall not trouble me,

Whoever accepts me he or she shall be blessed and shall bless me.

Walt Whitman
