Beautiful. I’m sorry to have missed it….especially all the participant input. Thank you both.
The ‘Grain of Sand’ koan reminds me of the famous first four lines of William Blake’s ‘Auguries of Innocence’ –
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
