Abstract sumi e Original “Wild Flowers May Grow” by Marilyn Wells

Abstract sumi e painting Original, Zen style, with ink wash and both wet and dry brushstroke work by Marilyn Wells was inspired by Rumi…

Very little grows on jagged rock.

Be ground. Be crumpled

so wild flowers will come up

where you are.

  -“Surrender” - Rumi 1903S

We want to learn how to leave off being so rigid, so sure of our opinions. Humility and an open heart will allow the wild flowers to come up where we are in our past, present, and future, all here and now in our present, if we can open up to this.

 "Tis curious that we only believe as deep as we live." - Emerson
