My first video!

My first Video - with my ZEN photography.

It was quiet a new, but great experience for me to learn and to make this video. I know, it's maybe not everything perfect now, but it's a start. All the next videos will be better, I promise! :)

Click, sit back, turn up your volume and ENJOY!
Have a wonderful day!
~Susanne

btw, thank you so much for all your nice comments on my last post. I appreciate every single one!

Hi my friends,

A happy day and a good morning to all of you! Thanks for the wonderful comments from yesterday, I appreciate and enjoy every one of them.

This will be soon one of my last posts, maybe one or two more are planned, but after that you have to bear with me for a little while. We are moving out to the coast, closer to the water and we are very excited about our new home! 

 

Every one of us knows how much work it is to move the entire household - and it's still nothing packed till today. I have today to buy some boxes more for all that "stuff" and general in most cases one has anyway to much "stuff", right? 

 

My slogan is: Get rid of stuff - Free your mind. :))

Stay tuned with me and see you tomorrow!

Susanne

The meaning of life...

The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can.
~Paul Kurtz~

 

 

Thanks for all the kind comments from yesterday, my friends.

See you all tomorrow again - enjoy your day, life is to short for unnecessary problems.

ZEN Photography - Ten thousand question

The ten thousand questions are one question. 

If you cut through the one question, then the ten thousand questions disappear.

My Wordless Sunday # 18

If there is light in the soul...

If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person. 

If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house. 

If there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation. 

If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.

Let your mind wander...

Let your mind wander in simplicity, blend your spirit with the vastness, follow along with things the way they are, and make no room for personal views-then the world will be governed....

~ZEN proverb from Chuang-Tzu~

Hi my friends,

Today another ZEN quote and a photo out of my "Zen Photography Collection". 

Thank you for all the comments from yesterday to my orange moon - it looks almost like an (Florida) Orange and not like the moon, right? :) I got one comment from one of my most loyal visitors Joan. Thanks again Joan, good observed and you made me smile for sure with this comment.

I wish you all a wonderful day! Let your mind wander...

ZEN Photography III

Zen is a school of Mahāyāna Buddhism, translated from the Chinese word 禅 Chán to Japanese. This word is in turn derived from the Sanskrit dhyāna, which means "meditation"

Zen emphasizes experiential prajñā, particularly as realized in the form of meditation, in the attainment of enlightenment. As such, it de-emphasizes theoretical knowledge in favor of direct, experiential realization through meditation and dharma practice.

The establishment of Zen is traditionally credited to be in China, the Shaolin Temple, by the South IndianPallava prince-turned-monk Bodhidharma, who came to China to teach a "special transmission outside scriptures" which "did not stand upon words". 

The emergence of Zen as a distinct school of Buddhism was first documented in China in the 7th century AD. It is thought to have developed as an amalgam of various currents in Mahāyāna Buddhist thought—among them the Yogācāra and Mādhyamaka philosophies and the Prajñāpāramitā literature—and of local traditions in China, particularly Taoism and Huáyán Buddhism. 

From China Zen subsequently spread south to Vietnam, and east to Korea and Japan.

Hi my friends,

thanks for all the wonderful comments from yesterday. Today we'll learn a little bit about "What is ZEN". The text is from Wikipedia - not from me :))

See you again visiting tomorrow too? Where? Here....see you (t)here!

ZEN Photography II

To learn something new, take the path that you took yesterday.  

~John Burroughs~

Hi my friends,

I think I have found a new challenge for me with these ZEN quotes and the passion to match the pictures, looking for the right subjects with the quotes in my mind. It is so much truth behind these words! 

I love it, it's so much fun to capture new exciting things!

Thank you for all the comments and compliments to my last sunset(s) - I'm so glad you like it.

Have a wonderful Tuesday afternoon or evening or maybe is there already Wednesday?

My Wordless Sunday in 2010 - # 15

If you understand....

Zen Proverb

If you understand, things are just as they are; 

if you do not understand, things are just as they are.

Hi my friends,

I shot this picture at the same evening when I did the sunset shot some days ago.

I love ZEN proverbs and this one matches the picture the best, I think.

I hope you like it and I hope I don't bore you with all this :)

Have a wonderful day!

Hi my friends,

Thanks again for all the wonderful comments to my ZEN photo from yesterday, so happy you liked that one so much :)

We took recently a stroll trough Melbourne's Down Town, a very pretty and picturesque place, cute and colorful architecture, nice coffee shops, some bars and also some galleries. There is something interesting and funny to see and to find for every one.  

In the next some days I'll show you more photos I've made on that afternoon. This picture of the bar stools in front of the Pizza delivery place is one of them.

I hope you'll enjoy!

Have a nice day  - and see you tomorrow?

Susanne

A way of feeling...

Zen Design

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.
