*That line, "If you try to approach it, you'll miss it," comes from a famous #Zen dialogue between Zhaozhou and his teacher, Nanquan (this is my amalgam of several translations):

One day Zhaozhou asked Nanquan, “What is the Way?”      “Ordinary Mind is the Way,” said Nanquan.      Zhaozhou asked, “Can it be approached?”      Nan-ch’uan said, “If you try to approach it, you go away from it.”      Zhaozhou further asked, “If we do not approach it, how can we know that it is the Way?”      Nanquan replied, “The Way does not belong to knowing or not knowing. Knowing is delusive; not knowing is being blank. If without any doubt you truly penetrate the Way, then it’s like the sky, vast and open. How can then there be any quibble about right and wrong?”

Monday, Mar 31 ☔️☔️

1. Granddaughter No. 2 dropped off tomato plants, soil & a cage this morning. First thing I’ll get to if it ever stops raining!
2. The green haze hovering around my crape myrtles & volunteer oaks has turned overnight into masses of this season’s leaves, and more roses have bloomed.
3. I’ve been invited to consider moving to AZ or NC, near my sons…which is gratifying, but I think my roots in this home & garden are too deep to transplant. A conundrum. 😵‍💫

Haiga/haiku: image has a gradient gray background with a digital painting of an opening rose (cream center edged with red, (“Double Delight”), surrounded by green foliage. Haiku in green reads, “O / to slow perception / to watch / one petal / unfurl”
