<b><i>Bench and Wildflowers: </i></b>A broken bench in the park, surrounded by tall grass and wildflowers. Zen teaches that nothing is permanent. Taoism teaches that the Way is eternal. How can both be true? Here, a park bench has been vandalized, broken and seemingly left behind in a secluded section of the park. Each spring, the wild grasses and flowers rise up anew, surrounding the old wood and rusting steel with their greenery.
