There Is Nothing You Can See That Is Not a Flower

There is nothing you can see that is not a flower;
there is nothing you can think that is not the moon.
Matsuo Basho

I spotted this gorgeous clematis flower on the walk home from my GP's surgery. Considering the high winds and rain, it's really quite amazing that it hasn't been battered to death.

Today was probably one of the most unproductive days I've had in quite some time: 3 hours watching DVDs and a 3 hour nap. However, after less than positive news about the state of my blood pressure, a day of rest was probably a good idea, anyway...

Sleep is the best meditation.
