Another photograph taken during the recent Miksang workshop in Boulder. As we endure 96F heat and high humidity in Chicago, this image struck me as especially inviting to process. 
The white flecks were puffs of cottonwood seed floating on the pond’s surface, but remind me of falling snow or cherry blossoms.
