I come home to a pathetically blooming bougainvillea in my solarium.
I attended 2 meditation retreats: one in Yangon and one near Chiangmai in northern Thailand. There i saw the easy, daily access to Buddhist practice that is interwoven into people's lives.
Now i am home where i have to make an effort to attend to my spiritual practice if i don't want to look like my small, faded bougainvillea.
Beautiful and my favorite!
ReplyDeleteMy bougainvilla looked like this a few months ago and then came the monsoon. It rained on my babies for 6 weeks solid. They love their water but this was just too much. Their camouflage has dropped off and left them with nothing but a skeleton. Should I hard prune them now? I feel I should leave the few leafy branches to suck up all that excess water for now. Oh dear
