Ikebana, the art of observing nature.
Here is an ikebana display from my heart.
Simple ivy allowed to grow on its own path. At one with nature, it is nature.
Reaching out on its own journey.

Very pretty. I enjoy the minimalist approach, and that you will allow it to walk it’s path. 🙂
Thanks! Shouldn’t you be sleeping?
LOL. I’m an IT Administrator so sometimes I have to work when there are no users on the system. Thank-you for you concern. 🙂
Oh I’m just an insomniac!
I hate that for you. I vary rarely get “inshawnbnia”, but I sure feel for those who have it all the time when I do. Eating a bit of honey and stretching for a little helps me when i have it. I read it online and it works for some people, including me.
Thanks I’ll let you know if it works
🙂

Reblogged this on eclectic feel and commented:
I’ve been following Sansei Life for a few months now and I often visit to explore her blog and chill out for a few minutes with her beautifully simple and peaceful posts. In her own words: “Sansei Life! A blog exploring and learning about the Asian community in Denver. When I was much younger I tried a new Japanese restaurant in Arvada called Namiko’s for a sushi snack. It was very good. I got into a conversation with Yuri the owner and she ended up offering me a part time job on weekends. I spent most of the first evening running to Yuri asking her what the various dishes were and what was in them and what they tasted like. In exasperation Yuri asked me if I was Japanese! She could not understand how a Japanese did not know simple restaurant fare.That is when I really understood that I was a Sansei out of touch with my culture. I am ready to experience and learn about today’s Asian culture”.
Ikebana (生け花?, “living flowers”) is the Japanese art of flower arrangement, More than simply putting flowers in a container, ikebana is a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together. Ikebana often emphasizes other areas of the plant, such as its stems and leaves, and draws emphasis toward shape, line, form. Another aspect present in ikebana is its employment of minimalism. That is, an arrangement may consist of only a minimal number of blooms interspersed among stalks and leaves. The spiritual aspect of ikebana is considered very important to its practitioners. Silence is a must during practices of ikebana. It is a time to appreciate things in nature that people often overlook because of their busy lives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikebana).
Thank you for this wonderful tribute, I’ll try to live up to your expectations!
