Tomorrow I'll upload the text...
Meanwhile what do you think is about?
Tomorrow never came, of course, what did ya expect! In Zen there’s no tomorrow. But really, summarizing some points I did this while reading the Ikkyu text. It mentioned a lot about emptiness, void, and skeletons and Voila!
I was painting an Enzo and while doing this it turned into a skull. I thought it was very appropriate for the whole Ikkyu thing because of his emphasis on the nothingness. It’s difficult to talk about this one, reducing it to words and explanations I just see it and get it but maybe if I were to explain this one I would just say that is about impermanence and well the meaning depends on each person’s insight.
As I said before, It doesn't require much rationalization, I expected to be comprehended in a much more individual level, so whatever you think of this is ok and if you feel like telling me it’s great.
By the way the haiku talks about impermanence as well.
“All things come to naught. For death is a return to one’s original state.”
-Skeletons by Ikkyu
