Dispatch #7: "I Vow to Set Endless Heartache to Rest"

Photos of our beautiful monastery garden area

I have no clue what this beautiful red vine is called, but its iridescence needs no name to shimmer in the afternoon light.

Dear Spark Zen Readers, I hope you’re doing well today. We just had two lovely days and nights of velvety rain that has added a glisten to the already shimmering autumnal colors. I thought I’d share some photos of the garden areas on the monastery grounds. Peace, Rev. Shōren Heather

This is the garden shed. I just love all the colors!
