Résumé

Glancing in, your first view of the garden is a translucent door glowing softly white in a mocha wall. Gnarled branches of an old live oak thrust up toward a perfectly blue summer sky. As you push down gently on the silvery steel handle, the door opens, then closes behind you. Turning, you are confronted by thousands of stiff upright spears ; the heights and masses of their thin black and green stems seem to bar the way. These are Equisetum hyemale (horsetail), sheared to a crisp five-foot height and massed in blocks like sentries. Their angular severity is unsettling, but a flowing path reassures, beckoning you forward. Brushing against the horsetail, you meander as if in a dream, unheedful of time. The scent of jasmine wafts over you. Glancing back past the mazelike blocks, a slash of white-topped grass, suffused with light, strikes a sharp line across the scene. With your eyes narrowing in concentration, you breathe in, and slowly exhale, as the soft gurgle of water draws you back toward the path.
