    ARTS: Enso art

    This is a little non-traditional non-calligraphy Enso made with paint and paper collage (using bits of Japanese paper and an old book page). The circle represents open-mindedness, connectedness, wholeness... The birds can represent Sangha, life, nature, sentient beings, freedom, grace... Or whatever you want it to mean. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Perhaps it is a wormhole and the birds are on their way somewhere else, but we will still be connected to them.
