One Single Impression Prompt 76: ocean
“Notwithstanding the fact that the Buddha essence is non-polar, Buddhist iconographers use sexual polarity to symbolize the twin concepts of insight and compassion.”

Folks, I’ve been in an introspective mood – riding the esoteric waves. I anticipate a return to understandable verse sometime soon. LOL. Will probably be focusing much less on poetry though… Got some stories floating around the ether, some characters that need to find their lives changed or destroyed, whichever comes first!

I keep coming back to this and trying to grasp the content. While the concepts are simple they seem to be so much to wrap your mind around. The one, the whole – yin and yang. This resonates and at moments still escapes me.

I will have to think about this one. Like all good poetry it twists my mind, but I don’t have the words to describe the twist! 🙂

I am not much about these traits in the Buddhist art. The picture is nice though I didn’t understand it for what it might’ve been drawn.
BTW thanks for leaving your footprint on my blog 🙂

This is a nice poem. I am not up much on Buddha, I was not aware of these concepts of masculine and feminine traits.
For sure ladies are calming, in general. I won’t go any further on this! 🙂
