Under the bodhi tree _

They gather
yet again
on thursday
7 am
sets the time
two to come
they combine
minus one.

With women
state side friends
they receive
yet they send
an image
of this tree
grace found as
thempla see.

Meditate
yes they do
rainbow bridge
connects through
minds third eye
so they say
mutta think
sounds ok.

Cairns group send
numbers two
woman, man
that will do
number three
hard to find
then he sees
in real time.

Golden showers
in full bloom
esplanade’s
coloured tune.
Babuk on
ground to read
sandra sits
japanese.

Push e comes
from behind
to ask her
would she mind
image shots
while she read
fine she smiled
yes she said.

Invited
to the group
youth in light
nuance loops
through all those
senses bared
golden rays
shower there.

Body fields
sensate bones
pineal’s high
freedom zone
rests in love
pure in grace
deep felt through
ether’s space.

Alchemy
of the mind
hermes gift
human kind’s
inside run
fears release
love’s true sense
inner peace.

author’s notes _
Sandra is a young Japenese woman who was sitting under a golden showers tree on the cairns esplanade reading a book. A sight so compelling she was asked if an image could be taken of her while she read. She graciously accepted and some you/me photos were taken on both our cameras.

In no time at all Sandra had agreed to join the small group of people who regularly join in on a shared meditation between small groups of women in california and oz.

She is a wonderful free spirit and why was she sitting on the grass under a golden showers tree? Her favourite colour is yellow.


What of the lovers under the tree ... we had a good yarn ... did they play up for the camera ... not really they just restarted where they left off.......note the heart shape leaves of this evergreen tree.

Tradition has it Budda would meditate under a bodhi tree.
