There is no thought, idea, concept or story that can survive the raw actuality of experience.

Not even this one πŸ˜‰

evening no.1
Cookbooks with Japanese titles are lined up at an angle on a dimly lit bookshelf, and in front of them is a red ceramic mailbox-shaped piggy bank, its edges lit by light from outside.

evening no.2
Plum fruits are piled in a bowl, the one on the top is standing vertically with its stem. It's dim and only edges of the fruits are bright.

late morning
The bed room seen from the hall next to it. It's bright outside the window but dim inside. The white blanket  covering the bed reflects the light filtering through from outside.

writing a letter to a friend about #meditation and #Zen practice, it occurs to me...

"we are the practice of the way things are"

freedom from sounds.
Silence is not
freedom from thoughts.
Silence is freedom
from some other moment – past or future.”

Rather, for me, there’s a growing sense that what meditation is about is something which is nothing more basic, and nothing less wonderful, than *what is going on.*

Speaking a bit metaphorically β€” it’s a kind of embrace with that.

And from that.

And as that.

A wave is made of two parts: the crest and the trough. If you take away the trough, there is no crest. There is only still water. Calm. Undisturbed.
Happiness is like the crest of the wave. anniemueller.com/posts/dead-ha

If you expect any benefits from your search, material, mental or spiritual, you have missed the point.
