Cosmic Picnic

Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water.

The moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken.

Although its light is wide and great,

The moon is reflected even in a puddle an inch wide.

The whole moon and the entire sky

Are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass.

Cosmic Picnic: Eve under Butterfly Nebula - wonderful choice Robin. Reminds me of Chagall.
