This is a book I´d like to read:
Meditations on Space
by Leslie Kavanaugh
Book Contents:
88 Enzo Paintings
88 Prose Poems on Space/Emptiness
Synopsis:
How is space ever understood? Do we hold out our hand and try to grasp it? Or, do we sit, just sit, and meditate on emptiness? This manuscript contains eighty-eight Enzo paintings that are a result of a meditative practice on the nature of space. The paintings lie in the tradition of the monastic Zen discipline for enlightenment, and are accompanied, albeit not explained, by short prose poems in the great tradition of Dogen.
