Moments of Zen - Small Joys

[dobielvr]

I have done landscape gardening for two of my friends, and I loved it. Others were asking me to landscape their garden too, but only one person wanted a garden I was prepared to do, and that was a Japanese garden.

I saw a large scale Japanese Garden when I visited Cowra, and fell in love with it. I wanted to know more, and bought a few books on the subject, and found that there was so much involved in the art of such gardens.

The person who originally wanted the garden had to relocate, and the landscaping never got started. So, not having a place nor land to create my own, I settled for a mini zen sand garden in my spare room _ my meditation, room at the time. . .

Here is a famous zen sand garden that shows a man and a horse wading through the water. The figures are only seen at one line of sight, where some of the rocks align up.

Months ago, I tried to redeem a $25 Google Play gift card that was rejected. It said they needed more information. I tried it on a different account. Same thing. They needed more information. So I provided the information, but it got rejected.

Yesterday, I tried it again on the original account with the information provided, and it was approved. Yahoo!

I just redeemed it, and it worked! So happy.
