This was taken at a Buddhist Temple in Penang.
Utterly delightful – the daydreaming Buddha and the young disciple spending his days bathing him. Very mind-clearing, calming. Something so pleasingly simple about it.
Simple seems so very pleasing at the moment. Not that my life is all that complicated, but it occurs to me that perhaps I make it more complicated than it needs to be…
That does look like a relaxing job. When my life seems to be getting to complicated I take to my bed for a day or 2 and just read or stare out the window. Mr. Husband freaks out, but to me it’s just recharging my batteries.

I think bathing the Buddha would be a meditation… the more you do it, the more chilled out you get…
I think I am due for taking to my bed. I have not done that in years… And I never actually get sick enough (thank goodness!) that I have to… I wonder what would happen if I spent the day in bed? I wonder what would happen if I slept a full 8 hours? Overcharged batteries? Will I be throwing off sparks?

Simplicity is the door to peace. And, Titi, some people go through life never seeing the door. You are blessed.

Thank you for the reminder, Ms Dipper… I’m definitely coming right again, whatever ‘right’ actually is… and when I get there I know that burst of creativity will begin to flow again… It really is that simple…
I think I do need to go bathe the Buddha – metaphorically speaking.

Thank you Lola! I wanted to post a shot of the whole statue, but it just gets lost – it looks small and the people washing it rather like ants…
