Cool Ice Blue WaterDrops Melting Icicles Zen Quote Postcard

Icicles melt and drip from a sunny sill in the middle of winter. The weather is frosty but the sun is warm enough to melt the icicles. You can see a round water drop at the bottom of the photo, which has fallen from one icicle, and another dripping from the next icicle. The Zen quote reads "nature does not hurry yet everything is accomplished" by Laozi aka Lao Tsu, a Chinese writer and philosopher born approx 601 BC. It is true. This Zen design is done in shades of aqua and ice blue. Aqua and blue are colors of mental refreshment, calm, intuition, truth in dreams, imagination, trust and the flow of serendipity. The aqua color shade is lighter in the center and darker around the edges. Space and airiness pervade this artwork, and the negative space (ie the space between or around objects) gives a sense of transcendence. In Zen buddhism, elements of nature (for example a water fountain, seascape artwork, etc) can give a feeling of happiness and inner peace. A single flower has more aesthetic value than a whole bouquet. Zen buddhist art & culture favor simplicity, clean lines and complimentary organic forms. Zen buddhism is a school of Mahayana Buddhism that originated in China during the Tang dynasty. It soon spread to Vietnam, then Korea, then Japan, evolving into different forms as time went by.
