A Flower On The Volcano , 2020

"Imagine a cloud transforming herself into the rain. The rain will nourish many trees and plants.

We should recognize the cloud in its new forms as trees and plants of many kinds. Looking deeply into the rain, ice, or snow, we can see the cloud.

Looking deeply into your tea, you can recognize the cloud. When you drink your tea mindfully, you know you are drinking a cloud - how wonderful!
When children eat ice cream, they are also eating a cloud.
...

Looking at reality with the eye of formlessness, signlessness to appreciate the cloud in your tea, ice cream, in the rain, or in vegetables..."

Notes on seeing by Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Thiền Buddhist monk and peace activist
