Stand and stare

This unusual orchid reminds me of one of the wise stories of the East.

Buddha once held up a flower to his disciples and asked each of them to say something about it.

One pronounced a lecture, another a poem, yet another a parable, each trying to outdo the other in depth and erudition.

Mahakashyap smiled and said nothing. Only he had SEEN the flower.
If I could only TASTE a bird, a flower, a tree, a human face!
