In Your Body Is The Garden Of Flowers

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

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.
