In silence and stillness, I find peace.

Dear Weboflife,  I am glad the you like the poem.  I am trying to find a better translation.

Waterlilies are so beautiful.  Since you like them so much, here is a time-lapse
video of a  Giant Waterlily blooming at the  Kew Gardens, England.



The Giant Waterlily blooms twice, at first in the evening! 
Its enormous leaves and long stems have spines to keep fish from eating them. 
The greenhouse was built specifically for them at Kew Gardens in 1852.
