an old man living in a bamboo hut walking on bamboo bridge underwhich a lotus pond is blooming colourfully in the stream of cclean blue water at the foot of himalays mountainvs recited a poem in 1986
''we all are brothers and sisters of mother earth.
love our mother earth.
love one another.
love the arts and culture out of decent human heart and soul and concept.
love the otherness, too.
humans are not tissues but tissues for purification of mind.
ride with wave of love and compassion.''
snowy truths in changing colours of sky.
a boy, an old man, a poet and an unknown identity of a passengerby into the sound of thevquite life by A.Pope.

i have been practising vipassana meditation now.
my home is inside my mind door act.
no home at all.
just knowingness.
just disappearance.
no names left.
a white screen in movie hall.
neosilence.
