even an old man
has New Year’s eyes…
cherry blossoms

“The Virgin of the Rocks” Leonardo de Vinci, 1452-1519

Within the mind is a storehouse of memories that entered our psyche through the windows of our senses.  The treaures received through the gift of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell…these are what I have come to cherish as yearnings for possessions fade from desire.  What I yearn for now is to live a life filled with the creation of memories to visit and revisit again.
