Zen, cont.

by heathervescent

Welcome back to Monday! Did you have a refreshing weekend?

Day 14: Reflecting on Coffee

It also struck me that coffee, while not traditionally associated with zen buddhism, is a dandy example of the Zen of Everything.
Lesson #15: What is not all things to all people, can still be an entry point into all things.

Day 15: Making Church more like Shirts

Now I see that if I can embrace each thing as a step on the path, nothing has to have been bad or wrong—it can just be. And of all the things I’ve found that let people get along and let dissonance just be, levity is the simplest, most graceful and joyous.
Lesson #16: To see more clearly, lighten up.

Day 16: Seeing opportunities in the midst of problems

So today, because Flickr was down (”problem”) I got to share one (”opportunity”). Along with a little reminder that just because I’ve always done something one way, doesn’t mean there’s not a better, more interesting way. Or at the very least, a different way.
Lesson #17: Everything is a way through to something else.

It's back to the Journey is the Destination again! (I really really love that mantra.) AstroBarry and Soul Garden.tv serve up horoscopes. I want to be so skeptical of horoscopes, but these are so interesting and intriguing and often give me insight, I'm not sure what I think anymore. Rob Brezsney, you're getting a little competition!
