Indra, king of the gods, sits “in a vast and infinite net. In every juncture of the net there was knotted a mirror, and every mirror reflected all other parts of the net.” Such is the world in which we live. Flowers that are a feast for the eyes can be a feast for the palate, vegetables conversely. We live in symbiosis with the creatures and plants of the earth, and I am indebted to Diane di Prima for the above quotation, which I found in her autobiography, Recollections of My Life as a Woman.
