Day 153: A Lotus Might Grow
Originally uploaded by jugbo.
As in a pile of rubbish
cast by the side of a highway
a lotus might grow
clean-smelling
pleasing the heart,
so in the midst of the rubbish-like,
people run-of-the-mill & blind,
there dazzles with discernment
the disciple of the Rightly
Self Awakened One.
-Dhammapada, 4, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
