The serenity of the nature poem of the garden designed by the great Japanese
garden artist Tassa Eida and his son Minoru.
The softness of the shaded leaves and brushstroked branches
forming Japanese poems of beauty in the
gentle Dublin summer heat paint a background
to the pastel greys of the stone invoking peace and tranquillity
in the foreground. The red detail of the door glimpsed
to the left of the picture are a gentle reminder
that after this peace and meditation, we once more
must enter through the doors of busyness back into our lives.
However, we will return through the red painted doors into the
bustle of our daily lives strengthened by
the beauty and peace we have found,
leading to inner strength in the garden.
