Afternoon meditation — Those who seek the Buddha and dharma.

‘Those who seek the Buddha and dharma outside of mind are all children of rich men who have forgotten where their homes are.’

Bassui Tokushō
A striking image captures a serene scene where a solitary bird perches atop the branches of a tall, leafless tree. The tree stands out against a dramatic sky filled with "fancy clouds" — wispy, patterned formations that create a visually stunning backdrop. The tree's trunk is partially covered with green ivy, contrasting with the bare upper branches. Below, a canopy of lush, green foliage hints at a vibrant ecosystem. This tranquil moment in nature highlights the beauty of a solitary bird amidst a sky adorned with intricate cloud patterns.

On the net, of course, it’s morning, afternoon, evening, or night-time 😀 somewhere.
