A cabbage as a study in Zen mindfulness.
Really?
When I was readying the tripod to photograph this flowering cabbage, I never expected this result. A mesmerizing photograph of line and color.
Look at the colors, the tight spirals, the intricate patterns. Follow the circuitous lines of the green outer foliage, continue as it changes into a slate green, then an icy magenta, and finally a deep fuchsia.
I’ve never considered studying a photograph of a cabbage before. But now I find that it seems to be an unusual exercise in Zen mindfulness. It has the ability to capture the interest of the eye, to encourage a state of attentiveness.
A Zen cabbage!

About Bo Mackison
It is amazingly beautiful, and rather unexpectedly.
Very unexpected! That’s one of the reasons I love it so…
Hi! I’m back! A Zen cabbage. Not what I expected upon my visit but what a delightful Monday morning surprise. Clearly Zen. Moreover, it’s a labyrinth. My mind’s feet are traveling around, my mind’s eye is looking down and into the colors and becoming calm. I love this Zen cabbage. You never cease to surprise me, dearie!
It’s a great labyrinth, isn’t it? Wouldn’t it be fun to have a life size cabbage labyrinth? Ha!
Love the color and detail Bo, definitely a good call on your choice of subject !!
I love how the colors fold into each other. Fun!
It feels as if you could continue delving deeper and deeper into the heart of the cabbage. Captivating.
Thanks.
I love the colors – I might need to plant something like this next spring.
You are quite correct that this is a Zen cabbage. Love how you captured it.
Now I’m on the look out for other Zen images like this one… 🙂
Yes!
