That's my third refuge. > > Love, > Gloria Thank you. Yes, gardening... The photo is a corner of the indoor garden in the living room, 5 stories up. On the viewing platform wall in the Zen garden at Three Wheels in London is this inscription: "Here in the garden do not ask who made it, or why, or when. The garden is and you are Be. Things are what they seem and are not what they seem and neither is true or untrue. There are islands and forests and mountains and vast grey seas, if you see it so. There are peaks above rolling blankets or grey cloud, Mount Sumeru and Mount Hiei, if you see it so. And there is yourself If you see it so, there are twelve small rocks of no consequence from Cumbria and Aberdeenshire, from screeds and spoil heaps and river beds. You can make of the garden what you will. But it may, perhaps, make something of you which you were not, if you wait and are still: if you become one with the garden and move beyond thought or imagination, and are, as the garden is."

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 What a lovely way to describe the mystery of Zen gardens... This makes the highlights for sure! Know where I might find a photo of it online? is Three Wheels the name to look for? Glo On the viewing platform wall in the Zen garden at Three Wheels in London is this inscription:"Here in the gardendo not ask who made it,or why, or when.The garden isand you areBe.Things arewhat they seemand are notwhat they seemand neither is trueor untrue.There are islandsand forestsand mountainsand vastgrey seas,if you see it so.There are peaksabove rolling blanketsor grey cloud,Mount Sumeruand Mount Hiei,if you see it so.And there is yourselfIf you see it so,there are twelve small rocksof no consequencefrom Cumbriaand Aberdeenshire,from screedsand spoil heapsand river beds.You can make of the gardenwhat you will.But it may, perhaps,make something of youwhich you were not,if you waitand are still:if you become onewith the gardenand move beyond thoughtor imagination,and are,as the gardenis."Namaste,joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Hello Gloria - I do not know the name of the author of this piece - it wasn't attributed at the site where I found it. Here is a link that may help: http://hjem.get2net.dk/civet-cat/poetry-stories/three-wheels.htm I'll browse around and see if I can find a photo, since this link just has background art. joyce , "Gloria Lee" <glee@c...> wrote: > > What a lovely way to describe the mystery of Zen gardens... > This makes the highlights for sure!
