beautiful mike..thanks for sharing...blake's poem "in a grain of sand" is my all time favourite ... merle
Think I just found my favourite Zen poem. Found it in Martine Batchelor's, "Way of Zen": Silently a flower blooms In silence falls away. Yet here now, at this moment, in this place The whole of the flower, the whole of the world is blooming. this is the talk of the flower, The truth of the blossom The glory of eternal life is fully shining here. (Zenkei Shibayama) It's so evocative of Blake's eternity to be found "in a grain of sand". I also love that in this poem, as well as in Buddha's holding up of a flower, that we are all flowers.
