Buddha's Muse

She walks
behind the Buddha
with her jeweled eye
focused on
nothing.

Am not sure about the Muse that follows the Buddha would he not see her anyway.
The Koan I tried one of the examples of a Koan,
I clapped my hands together and they made a noise.
I clapped one hand and it emitted silence to those that could not hear.
Many peoples have varying types of this word but I rest, as flapping one hand in silence is tiring, my thoughts go out to you, A good write all the same, Yours Ian.T

Imagine that Buddha's muse is his third all-seeing eye where no dualities exist. Imagine that we always walk behind ourselves, watching what we do, Imagine we're all Buddhas..

Thanks for reading Ian.

Your spiritual being is showing through, Buddha with his third eye and his muse walking behind him.
A lovely picture now let me see, if only he would walk with me.
I have been told that my talks with the children, have taught me much and Sadie's Diaries can be done, but are not needed, as I am now supposed to be able to write from what I have learned.
Your Buddha teaches well a word from you and there he is in all his finery.
The wisdom of his ways held by the silence of his gaze.
It is lovely that you see so clearly dear Anna I have been told that they are pleased with your ways and what you say. This is not from me but from those who walk with you,
Yours with their blessings, Ian.T
