Out this morning quite early, before sunrise. The steady rhythmic sound of foot fall on dry snow almost hypnotic, the thin bright air had a particular ‘zing’ to it. My heart sang.
Anybody who is of a mind to ‘wobble’ at the moment, I would recommend not. Have faith, the Jewel is in the palm of your hand.
Remember, don’t wobble!

Unfortunately I had a problem with reflections in the glass covering the image so the photographer and camera feature in there as well as the message! Not quite what I had planned for however I did want this text, along with the full poem to have a wider audience.
Given by Rev. Master Koten of Lions Gate Buddhist Priory, Vancouver. It hangs in the dining area of the priory as a reminder of the long standing connection between Vancouver and Edmonton.
Here is the full version of the text:
True friendship transcends Intimacy or alienation.
Between meeting and not meeting There is no difference.
