Mindfulness A Little Differently
Stray Star

~2 min read

with a stray star
drift down here 〜
 
to all troubled people
grant at least one wish

se zatoulanou hvězdou
snes se sem dolů 〜
 
všem utrápeným lidem
splň aspoň jedno přání

Colorful sumi-e painting of two lotus flowers emerging from the water – one fully blossomed and one a bud. The upper petals possess a deep, nocturnal blue color, adorned with few small shining white stars. The blue gradually shifts downwards along the petals into a lighter blue and finally into a melon-pink hue, representing the dawn. The bud is almost entirely in melon pink, with subtle blue shading. The stems are blue and end their reflections can be seen in light blue water. On the left side below the blossomed lotus is the Japanese character 'cloud' printed with a traditional red seal.
