To Sip from a Flower

May 14, 2010: To Sip from a Flower    Show/Hide Photo Info

* Today's Quotation *

The flower invites the butterfly with no-mind;
The butterfly visits the flower with no-mind.
The flower opens, the butterfly comes;
The butterfly comes, the flower opens.
I don't know others,
Others don't know me.
By not-knowing we follow nature's course.

~Ryokan, Dewdrops on a Lotus Leaf,
