Living life to its fullest isn't about checking off thrills from a list; It's about being fearless in following my dreams, courageous in accepting that some will go unfulfilled and taking the time to savor something as simple as a cup of tea - Daiku Michael

Hi dawid,
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the blog. Yes the photo is great isn't it? It's by Gregory Colbert here: www.ashesandsnow.org
God, that site is amazing. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that some folks (maybe a lot of folks?) get into religious/spiritual practice due to a great emotional trauma that undermines current memes/habits/conditioning.
ReplyDeleteInteresting thought - and it is certainly true in my case - even if the events in question happened some 12 years before I started doing Zen. (about 18 years ago)
