Was doing zazen today outside — and despite trying to eliminate the need to define the sound there was a distinct repeating cough — which seemed to be getting closer
Plagued with thoughts — arising — falling — I’m a rich and fertile field —- ripe for the corporate attention farmers to pluck
For most of us — reclaiming our sovereignty over our own attention is a priority
I couldn’t help it — I opened my eyes
As I suspected — a chipmunk — right at the edge of my zabuton
This isn’t the first time it happened — when I first started sitting regularly a housemate walked past me to get something she’d left behind — later when I asked she hadn’t seen me although she was only inches from my cushion
Our brightest moments will never be captured by any means — all though they can be alluded to
Art — at its best — is wholly — a new experience
