Meditation Garden

I have been lucky enough to visit the spectacular Morikami Japanese Gardens several times and my favorite part (other than their famous bento box lunch) is photographing the meditation garden.

Look at the concentric circles in the gravel - beautiful and interesting!

Although often seen as a joke in movies, I think there would be something calming about combing the sand and arranging the elements in a desktop zen garden.

I have been thinking about re-planting my terrarium...maybe I'll add an area of sand this year.
