What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?

Cabbage as an Exercise in Zen Mindfulness?

Zen Mindfulness in a Cabbage

Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second. ~ Mark Riboud

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!
