世の中は
何にたとへん
山彦の
こたふる聲の
空しきがごと
Our life in this world -
to what shall I compare it?
It's like an echo
resounding through the mountains
and off into the empty sky.

ReplyDeleteor a living altar...
ReplyDeletei thought you might like this :-)
DeleteFlowers are prayers..
ReplyDeleteyes they are... they are healing too, but you know that even better than me, dear Lynne! :-)
DeleteTo answer properly i would have to die several times, to be followed by painful resurrections (this gets tiresome after a while, so i won't provide details) and only then would i have an answer, which would be, fast forwarding all the histrionic transformations--no.
ReplyDeletethey don't need that, do they? maybe this is one of the reasons we are so fascinated with them - they are beyond... and indifferent to us... these are metal lotus flowers, used to decorate altars in japan.
Deletechiar daca nu te-ai fi gandit astfel la flori inainte,aici sigur iti vine ideea aceasta:)
ReplyDeletepresupun ca,odata ce ai un templu, totul pare sa rezoneze cu el. si ma onoreaza privirea ivita din templu,la fel ca si ruga lor maiestuoasa si mandra, de statuie nascuta in catifea si mireasma.
da,florile se roaga, cu siguranta.

Deletesunt sculptate din metal, ca niste ofrande langa altarele budiste, tot timpul m-a fermecat gratia lor muta, si cum se reflecta lumina pe suprafata lor poleita...
