These flower photos are taken inside of the house. Sue Lamberri’s re-opening of her flower shop in town has given me yet another way of finding and sharing some color and light in the dark and cold days.

I was meditating earlier today, and I read something from Thich Nhat Hanh that I’d like to share because it spun around in my head. Got surgery in the morning. There’s a lot to think about. I’ll be blogging when I can, early in the afternoon.

No Beginning And No End

“We usually try to hold on to life and run away from death. But, according to the teaching, everything has been nirvana. So why do we have to grasp one thing and avoid another? In the uiltimate dimension, there is no beginning and no end. We think there is something to attain outside of ourselves, but everything is already here.” – Thich Nhat Nanh.

The ghost sunflower is still beautiful in death.
