Quote from Landscape as Spirit

Landscape as Spirit: Creating a Contemplative Garden

by Martin Hakubai Mosko and Alxe Noden

Shambhala Publications, Boston, Massachusetts     © 2015      159 pp.

A contemplative garden is a place to discover the magic of who we are and how we join with the world around us. By engaging and delighting the senses, it brings the mind to attention to a fuller awareness not only of the natural world, but also of the sacred that inhabits the space. It is landscape as spirit.

Landscape architecture has often abandoned this dimension of garden-making. . . The motivation for creating the garden is more than a search for something to please the eye. The question is how to use a meditative understanding to organize and transform a space.  (p. 1)
