Photography as Meditation: The Friday Flower. Sometimes just photos. Sometimes with writing. Appearing on Fridays.
Do not go to the garden of flowers!
O friend! go not there;
In your body is the garden of flowers.
Take your seat on the thousand petals of the lotus, and there gaze on the infinite beauty.
Kabir ~ 15th century Indian mystic

So glad you liked it, Bridget.
Have an infinitely beautiful meditation. Come back and let us know how it went.
Missing my baby boy today, so blessed to have found your beautiful site.
I went to your blog and read about your dear Nathan. I am so sorry. I’m happy you find something beautiful here. Your blog is filled with blessings, too. I’m happy to meet you.
Wow! That has got to be the most powerful thing I’ve read in a long time. Thank you so much for posting it. I love all of your photos and the one for this poem is truly outstanding.
Hi Amanda. Kabir is amazing, isn’t he? Touches something deep inside and takes your breath away. I’m so happy you like my photographs, too.
Thank you for the beauty, my heart needs it today!

Namaste to you, MaryBeth. And thank you.
You photos are always so stunning! What Jennifer said up there; I could say the exact same thing. The words and photo are a “salve for the soul,” as one of the characters on “O Brother Where Art Thou?” might have put it.
Thanks Becky. I really love hearing that people are enjoying my photos. Kabir’s words are breathtaking, aren’t they? Salve for the soul, indeed.
Oh yay, I have found a new quote person. The photo and quote are so very beautiful.
