This is my entry for this weeks challenge at The Three Muses "Word Salad". This passage is one of the Bodhisattvas (meditations) from Zen Buddhism . It alludes to meditation where one becomes still and shuts out distraction to find peace of mind. (Much easier said than done- but wonderful words nonetheless!)
To make this digital collage I scanned in batik fabrics and an image of Akshobhya (the unshakable one). I added artistic filters for a burn -out effect and the text digitally.

The seemingly complex but endless repeating patterns of Batik is the perfect kind of fabric to have used with your chosen words...the serenity of the blues here quietly complements an image of quiet and contemplation..
