Nature poem of Tassa Eida and Minoru


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.
