    Looks like it is snowing..
    From my window..
    It’s raining

    Heart Beats Steady
    Space Between Beats
    There is Movement

    Heart Beats Steady
    Empty Between Beats
    Union in Silence

    From the back seat
    Of the car
    …Smell of bread
    Sonam Palden(St.Quentin,France)
    Rows of trees
    Whizzing by
    …Vast blue sky
    Sonam Palden(On the Highway,France)
    Morning mist
    At the gas station
    …Line of cars
    Sonam Palden(France)
    Wind sweeping
    The sun on the trees
    …Here and there
    Sonam Palden(On the Highway,France)

    Geese and their young
    Hissing demanding their right to be
    On the biking path
    Ute(Iceland)
    My mind
    Requiring quietness
    Without feeling alone
    Ute(Iceland)
    Redshank resting
    On one leg
    On the lantern
    Ute(Iceland)
    Like a mirror
    Can i see myself
    In your eyes
    Ute(Iceland)

    Sun setting
    Moon rising
    Most beautiful
    Ute(Iceland)
    Sitting
    Reading attentively
    Sucking in the new
    Ute(Iceland)
    After days of full contact
    There is need for the mind
    To recover
    Ute(Iceland)
    The young plovers
    So innocent
    Yet full of intuition
    Ute(Iceland)
    Sunny spots on the wall
    Slowly disappearing
    Yes, earth is rotating
    Ute(Iceland)
    Remembering you
    Always thankful
    Glad you were my mother

    Good memories
    Sad feelings
    Haunted by my thoughts
    Junu(Thimphu)


    Time passed
    Feelings
    Never change
    Junu(Thimphu)
    Off to the street
    Disappearing into the crowd
    Will you ever change?
    Junu(Thimphu)
    People planning
    Attempt changes
    No movement!
    Junu (Thimphu)
    Noise of a brook
    A pleasent surprise
    Magic
    Tshering Dorji(Brisbane,Australia)
    Sleepy eyes
    Threatening mosquito
    Sensitive ears

    Morning mist
    Still asleep
    …Wild flowers

    My mother’s garden..
    in full bloom
    a cloudy sky

    Sun measures the sky
    And her work is done
    But our life is shortened

    The copper bumpa
    So beautiful
    Yet so simple

    Writer in the dark
    …at the breakfast table

    Also leaving….

    Two pilgrims
    Returning

    At the airport
    Seeing off her daughter
    In her new sweater

    The room empties
    The chatter drifts away
    Only the smell of socks remains

    Fallen apart
    Broken heart
    Life is hard

    Cool breeze
    Fluttering prayer flags
    I feel enlightened
    Dorji Tashi (Thimphu)
    Above heaven
    Beneath hell
    In the middle an undecided man
    Dorji Tashi (Thimphu)
    Everyone is helping
    No ones left without a fill
    True GNH prevails.
    Dorji Tashi (Thimphu)
    A cloud in the sky!
    Like a stroke of a paintbrush..
    Hangs by itself
    Namgay Wangchuk (Thimphu)
    The cool mountain breeze
    Replemishes me physically
    I rest my mind

    • Sun dancing on leaves
    • Flowers bowing down
    • My  pain has gone
    • Sangay Tenzin (Thimphu)
    The mood changes..
    At the chorten
    With dark cloud
    Namgay Wangchuk(Thimphu)

    Om mani padme hung
    Blown here by the winds
    Far away a shrine barely in sight
    Dorji Tashi (Thimphu)
