| indoor jasmine |
Here are the first two lines of an old Zen story that I came upon yesterday:
Student: Please write for me some great wisdom.
The ancient Master Ichu took up his brush and wrote, "Attention."
This Jasmine used to sit on the counter in my kitchen, but I found her sad too many times and brought her into my studio. She gets more care now and I am reminded more often to dwell in the moment.
What have you found to give you a moment of quiet reflection?
joining "a moment in life" for the 52 Photo Project.
side note:
I believe she is the "maid of orleans" of the Jasmine sambac species and was told she could be grown indoors.

The jasmine is lovely and goes perfectly well with zen masters.
What a lovely capture. I wish I could catch a bit of the scent!
Your image of the jasmine definitely give me a big moment for some quiet reflection today, Juana... Thank you for this lovely gift. :o) ((HUGS))
A perfect moment in life! Love jasmine! And I love that it reminds you of "home!"
a lovely, lovely photos...
Your words almost make me smell the scent! Lovely!
Beautiful! Our senses are such an integral part of our experiences in life. Blessings!
Beautiful, a wonderful reminder of peace and home and how we all flourish with care.
the Zen story is a gem, thank you for that. I love your Jasmine flower. I have an indoor Jasmine tree that's five feet tall, I've had it for years, and when it flowers its scent fills the entire house; the fragrance is so heady I feel a bit intoxicated by it.
your photo is pure lovely. happy week to you.
Love the zen story and your photo, thanks for sharing
Love the photo and the story ...
