Zen Garden

 

For centuries, Japanese Zen masters have cultivated gardens of harmoniously arranged rocks and white raked gravel - creating silent havens for peaceful contemplation. By cultivating a miniature Zen garden - reducing for a moment the day’s problems to a few waves of sand against the rocks - one may come away feeling as if the rest of life has become simpler.

 

I started a small Zen Garden on our deck a few weeks ago. It is very peaceful drawing patterns and arranging rocks in the small box full of sand. The only problem I've had is keeping the cat out of the sand.
