We look for someone to blame for the dangerous situation,
and direct our anger toward them.

just sitting doing nothing is,
how relaxing, how restful.

Zen says that if you drop knowledge -
and within knowledge everything is included;
your name, your identity, everything,
because this has been given to you by others -

This will be a crucifixion of the persona, the personality,
and there will be a resurrection of your innocence.
You will become a child again, reborn.

you start becoming drunk with the divine.
That is what is called ecstasy.

and am contributing right now to another quality memory.
I value you and honor and take the time,
right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."
