Into the Unknowable

 

At Ryoan-ji in Kyoto there is a famous rock garden; wherever in it a person stands, one of the fifteen rocks cannot be seen. The garden reminds that always something unknowable is present, just beyond what can be perceived or comprehended  - and that something is as much part of the real as any other stone amid the raked gravel - Jane Hirshfield

Staring at the above photo of branches, where does the focus wander? Are their faces amidst the angles.

Daily opportunities of creativity and design splash, cluster, wing around us. Often a mood engulfs us and captures our hearing and sight. It takes persistence to live in an atmosphere of potential. 

William Stafford wrote,  " . . . this tranquil chaos that seems to be going somewhere. This wilderness with.great peacefulness in it. This motionless turmoil, this everything dance."

Find time to push beyond the obvious.

Watching and waiting, all senses perked, discover the unknowable.
