From Wonder into Wonder...
Existence is beyond the power of words to define
Terms may be used
But are none of them absolute.
In the beginning of heaven and earth there were no words,
Words came out of the womb of matter;
And whether a man dispassionately sees to the core of life
Or passionately sees the surface,
The core and the surface are essentially the same,
Words making them seem different
Only to express appearance.
If name be needed, wonder names them both:
From wonder into wonder
Existence opens.
Terms may be used
But are none of them absolute.
In the beginning of heaven and earth there were no words,
Words came out of the womb of matter;
And whether a man dispassionately sees to the core of life
Or passionately sees the surface,
The core and the surface are essentially the same,
Words making them seem different
Only to express appearance.
If name be needed, wonder names them both:
From wonder into wonder
Existence opens.

Please forgive me....I hate to complain, but I can't read the purple text on the blue background and, (sniffle, sniffle...wipes nose on sleeve), and I WANT to!!
I chanced upon this wondrous gallery in Nov of 2014. If you're ever over that way, the works are museum quality with a few life-size.
