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.

this is of course not a reflection but the view onto the garden, through the mobile open "walls" of the temple, walls is not a good word for this but i don't know any other. the opening of the sliding doors, would be more accurate, i think.

ReplyDeletethis is a beautiful deeply religious post yes it leads me to dream- my dream interpretation for today, of the source of life and when we tap it it is like the rejuvenating spring of life where we bathe with our naked souls yes the window of the bodytemple where the soul views the center.your previous naming tells it all and I loved the spiral that the nourishing cord from the mother of the universe the immaculate conception and art religion and nature are all one source and life is a metaphor a continuation a cosmic prayer viewed through a timeless opening.
ReplyDeletesweet blessings to you my friend.
ce frumos trebuie sa te porti cu aceste lucruri,nu,cum iti impun ele,prin nimic din ceea ce poate fi spus,orice cuvant,orice plecare spre ele. da,nu exista ziduri aici,la fel cum nu exista ceva prea dur material pentru a putea simti deschiderea spre timeless,doar un pergament peste care rasar zorii si se intind copacii si marile,ca o pleoapa deschisa in ceea ce putem adnota ca lume.
