Garden of Heaven


Stairway without Robert Plant wailing….small feet in thong sandals and kimono taking delicate steps admiring the view and thinking about preparing the tea ceremony.



I am not a gardener. But now I believe. Not that I imagine going way beyond house plants for regular care. But this garden is the garden of aesthetic pleasure, earthly delights. If I gush any more I'll embarrass myself, if I haven't already. Lets just say, I visited heaven and I say 'thumbs up'. 
And I feel very fortunate to be able to have snuck in the visit. These pictures are a mere sketch, it is really about being present and absorbing earthly heaven.
