Tao Te Ching, Chapter 12

 "Colors blind the eye. 

Sounds deafen the ear. 
Flavors numb the taste.  
Thoughts weaken the mind. 
Desires wither the heart.   
  
The Master observes the world 
but trusts his inner vision. 
He allows things to come and go. 
His heart is open as the sky."
   
Tao Te Ching, Chapter 12

The two photographs are of the same wisteria that lives just around the corner from us.  One picture was taken this spring; the second was taken last month.  Every year I watch the wisteria come and go.  It changes, but then again, it does not.  It never shows up as a daffodil.
