I have come back to this because the quotation you have placed here strikes a chord with me: “you touch the present moment and you touch the whole of time.” I shared this with a friend this afternoon and she reminded me of how tea has seen us through the best and the worst of times for all the many years we have known each other – the present moment and all that has gone before us. It has remained in my mind ever since I read it earlier in the day and so I return to thank you for these words of wisdom which are sustaining during these bizarre times.
Thanks so much, Marina! I will need to try to bear this bodhisattva in mind next time I use my camera (the Japanese company Canon was named after her/him) ๐ธ๐

A very sensual Guanyin! The monochrome pallette is a nice counterbalance to all those curves. Maybe there are more Buddha mandalas in our future!

Glad you liked it, Lynn!
Hmmm, perhaps so, we’ll need to wait and see…
