Eternity

    Eternity by Mary Bach

Today
I cultivate the space
even though I do not yet know
what will
grow.


I spent the weekend at a retreat called Brush Wisdom.  We learned about a type of Japanese calligraphy called Sosho as a vehicle for contemplative calm and peace.  This is my stylized version of the eternity character.

  1. To me it looks like " OM"...a great symbol in Hinduism representing space, god, eternity:)

    1. Thank you Vandana. It's not strictly like the Japanese symbol, but with this type of calligraphy it allows for some individual interpretation.

  6. What a beautiful, short and meaningful poem. I loved the character as well. Indeed, we sow and sow, but we don't know what'll come out of it.
