The Green-on-Green Garden by Guest Blogger, Lori Wong

In response to my July 19 blog, in which i complained about my green-on-green garden, Lori Wong responds:









Reveling in the textures and shades of green can be pleasant and relaxing...and I see shades of yellow and more subtle colors. 

Just like when the mind calms down in meditation, we begin to see the subtle nuances, the details which were hidden because of the showy, distracting, colorful, enchanting stuff... 

And then, we appreciate that careful work we've done!



Lori Wong has been practicing vipassana meditation since 2003. She lives in the Central Valley of California, leads two insight meditation groups in Modesto, and occasionally teaches mindfulness to children at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship there.
