Secrets of the Teetering Stupa

Dreamed before 1998 by Carl Linkhart
www.carllinkhart.com

You're only given a moment to unlock the rocky
wells of Burma's past. You drop in from the present
to find an old detour down a wandering broken road
through ravines, poppy fields and bamboo jungles.
The locals rarely see a stranger out here on the
edges of Arcadia, yet still a native is willing to give a
tour of a puzzling gold-leafed stupa, balancing pre-
cariously near the shore.Teetering in frozen time, it
lures you with shimmering magnetism. A fisherman
struggles on a stormy lake. I'm given a key to enter a
recently built tunnel. They believe Buddha's tooth is
at the end, submerged in yellow glass. The sun falls.
Your moment is over.
'Secrets of the Teetering Stupa', a dream painting by Carl Linkhart.
