Jeux de reflets...

One of the many wonders of the Rodin Museum, the reflection games.


The Hand of God.


Female Centaure.



L'Eternelle Idole. The Eternal Idole. Inspired by his relationship with Camille Claudel - like so much - and given an onirical atmosphere by the reflections.

La derniere pensee de Rodin

This one is called The Last Thought. Gorgeous.



Embrasse-moi, idiot...




Beauties by Rodin

From the most troubling sensuality...





... to saint ecstasy.

His hairdresser is very gay...



I see this sign on my way to work every morning.
I get a smile on my lips every morning.
If it is not obvious, it is a sign for a hairdresser...

Be careful, do not fall

What with construction, destruction, reconstruction works everywhere in Phnom Penh, no wonder coming across such a sign... See the warning for the Penh itself too?

Reflection in Bulguksa


In the zen land of non-duality, there is no inside and no outside. The "inside" reflects the "outside" and the "outside" reflects the "inside". Nowhere does this truth come to life more beautifully than in a zen temple. Korean temples are so built that they participate to stir one's meditation, as the harmony coming out of the architecture's symmetry and clear lines sinks into the visitor's mind and leaves an imprint of peace. "Outside" becomes "inside".









Every cause is the effect of something else, and every effect is the cause of something else. What may seem a curse may be a blessing, and what may seem a blessing may be a curse. Hardship is a blessing when it spurs effort and development; ease is a curse when it increases complacency and self-indulgence. Muso Kokushi, Dream Conversations on Buddhism and Zen

Buddha Power!

Very soft is true strength
With harmony comes luck
Follow situation then get happiness
Forbearance will make you a great man

Tree wisdom in Korea



It is a rocky rocky land

Big rocks, small rocks.
