“Why is the road to freedom so long?” 
asked a troubled apprentice.
The master replied,
“Because it has to go through you.” 
~an old Zen story

I can’t leave the things that remind me how to honor this day…..

inquiry for today~ how strange is the intimate dusk and the calling to see…

one pebble at a time

This pure Mind, which is the source of all things, shines

forever with the radiance of its own perfection. But most

people are not aware of it and think that the Mind is

just the faculty that sees, hears, feels, and knows.

Blinded by their own sight, hearing, feeling, and knowing

they do not perceive the radiance of the Source.

~Huang Po
