“Flower Presence in Life” Zen Art Course
A flower reveals the forms of life; through arising conditions, we see impermanence.
A flower blooms in a single thought, a flower fades as conditions are wrought; removing the excess, keeping the simple — and easing naturally appears.
The arising of conditions is an encounter; their passing is a graceful completion.
We invite you to pause from the busyness of daily life and settle into the present moment between a single flower and a single vase.
Flower Presence in Life — illuminating impermanence.
