Last week I decided to tidy up my home altar. It had become festooned with too many bits and pieces picked up over the years; bits of pine trees, sea shells, stones and other brick-a-brac. Poor Kwan-Yin was looking a bit crowded out. What you see here is the end result. There are still a couple of pine cones and a [very] small cairn of pebbles from various sea shores. It is enough.
What struck me this morning as I made an incense offering was the way the light shone through the glass containing the water and onto the wall. It added an unexpected beautifull dimension to the whole thing.
Here is a close up of the play of light from the candle, through the glass and ont the driftwood plinth then onto the wall.The light of the Dharma surely does shine in all places.
