Seeing

With palms together


Good Morning Everyone,



Right right divided we am sitting sensitively in a dim in my residence.1. we am looking out over a mesa to a mountains in a east. It is dim as good as a ambient light is not sufficient to explain anything. But there it is, in a dark, right in front of my eyes.



Our star is itself beauty, any as good as each aspect is a phenomenon of a entirety: whole, alive, an quite conditional. As scientist-philosopher Brian Greene suggested, it is an Elegant Universe. Do we take any time at all to notice it? We look, though do we see?



Sitting zazen in a park, we mostly look out at a trees, a iron fence, as good as a iron bench. In front of me, beyond a play ground boundary, there have been newly assembled southwestern style apartments. A stadium sits at a back of me. Blue sky is above me as good as grass underneath me. Do we unequivocally see these? How? What have been they?



As we squint my eyes as artists infrequently do, we see less detail, though in a place patterns emerge. There is positive space as good as disastrous space. A tragedy between a two arises. Good art always has tension, as does a great life.



We mostly come to Zen in sequence to still a minds. Wrong idea. Quietism is a disease. Serene reflection is active as good as dynamic. Students, come to Zen to witness. Come to Zen to see. Seeing enables tragedy to be seen for what it is, a energy between points which have been bound together by which energy. And more. When which energy is realized, a points fall away. What is left is a complete star residing right there, right now.



Be well.Zen wisdom for every day living.
