In the caverns below this land
Reside the children of Gods
Nagas, these creatures are called
Soaring high in the silken sky
They live forever and never die
They married the human kings and queens
To become spiritual superiors by all means
In the dim lights deep down
What is that which hisses and moans
Behold, they’re the dragons of old!
Mentoring the creators of kingdoms
Being bestowed with the pinnacle of wisdom
A strange light emnates from this hollow earth
An inner sun is the place of it’s birth
Gaze at Shambala, the place of paradise
Underworld you have an appointment with Hades tonight
Don’t give a cry in these murky lanes
It is said in Ireland that Tuatha de Danann
headed here in dark clouds laden with rain
Take a journey to the centre of the earth
Crafting there are the dwarves
Forging weapons, from axes to saws
Churning these obscure depths
Aren’t all groans and frightful glares
It’s an abode of heros, firm and fair
Thick with light
Stirring with ruthless frights
Seeping deep below
Some high truth alights
Certainly Doubtful 
Palden Lamo keeps me company when I paint. My drawing/painting table sits below a Tibetan Thangka with her painted in the center. She’s my hero. I met her the year after I had had to evacuate from my house because of a fire — I lived in the mountains. Not long after, I had to cut off relations with my brother. So much in her story resonated with me and her message is something I feel important for me to remember. You can see it here.
