" Always, questioning the  ' Nature,' of it All."

How do we   - " respond," to the nature, surrounding us ?

All the images, are by an ' unlikely & unknown Chinese garden scholar.'

Are we   -      " humbled,"    by the   creator - of this nature and do we want to look further inside.

He went searching for the meaning, behind Chinese gardens and found, so much more........

Are we capable of being - moulded by nature and / or, it's creator ?

Upon his return, he happened upon, this ' little wonder,' of nature.

Or, because  it is    -          " miniature," do we just pass it by on the way ?

A Western acquaintance, noticed this on a mountain path  [ yes, the unlikely scholar had missed it ].

Do we bother to  -             conceptualise, it, in he nature, abounding ? 

So, this next gem, he uplifted and endured it's weightier message.

Perhaps, we can "sharpen our view & change our focus ?"

Again, his Western associate found this amongst a massive rocky outcrop.

Or, are we just too -      " holier-than-thou ?"

This one returned from a tramping trip -  [ no, the scholar was not on ]

Imagine, a  -  " violent sea of waves, crashing against," this ?

He picked this one up by the seaside.

Is the      -      " scene." becoming any clearer, now?

This one, he initially mistook for a piece of coal.....

Whereas, this one - he made no mistake about the  -   " uptake,"    in fact, he complied with the authorities of the time...

He went to no end of trouble, to " clean-up."

Compliance with customs requirements - was  - well,  " a lot less un-comfortable on the way through."

It took a little courage.....

To bring this home, for the  - "enlighten-ment, of others."

Yes, keep being " introspective," on the way along....

Are there  truly -  " No cracks." in your armour ?

Our time in this system of things, is short lived....

" What, really are we in the end; after All, that is said and done ?"

Keep searching, that you will find - deeper meaning & purpose.
