The Center of Being

What amazes me about the Ipomoea purpurea (Morning Glory), is that provided with the ability to look closely into the core of the blossom, I feel I am looking into the source of life. There is a mystery there. Especially with the purple blossoms, the closer in one gets the less one comprehends. Is this just me? Check out the slideshow. I like the reverse purple, the one which is mainly white with faint purple stripes.

As the bee takes the essence of a flower and flies way without harming its blossom, color or fragrance, so let the sage wander in this life. ~from the Dhammapada.

Worlds in a Drop

Just after a heavy rain the air feels fresh and clean. One walks about watchful of puddles, but so often I am unaware of how all the living flora holds the water. Last Saturday I got a close-up view of worlds in a drop of water.
