Climb on the steps
Reach into the realms of wonder webs -
The pathway to heaven


Epilogue:
I did not go to the botanic gardens so I went around to ask for pictures. As I was browsing through the pictures, I found this to be the most meaningful one. Based on this picture, it gives me a feeling that the steps are leading one to a higher level, as if it is the pathway to heaven. With these steps present in foreground of the nature, it tells me that there seems to be a connection between nature and somewhere beyond the boundary of nature which can be interpreted as the divine presence of heaven. These steps are represented in the picture as stool-like structures and these are made to shape like mushrooms or flowers. Thus, by incorporating the structure of the steps as part of the nature, it actually helps to bridge a gateway to the other far end of the world. Furthermore, the nature-like structure of the steps helps to blend into the background of all the trees and plants, allowing one to view it from a larger and more harmonious perspective.
