Daily Zen - Wednesday, February 26

We live in all we seek. The hidden shows up

in too-plain sight. It lives captive on the face 

of the obvious – the people, events, and things 

of the day – to which we as sophisticated 

children  have long since become oblivious. 

What a hideout: holiness lies spread and borne

over the surface of time and stuff like color. 

~ Annie Dillard

Daily Zen - Wednesday, May 9

A life of good days lived in the senses

is not enough. The life of sensation is 

the life of greed; it requires more and more.

The life of the spirit requires less and less;

time is ample and its passage sweet.

Weekend Zen, August 4-5

I don't think I can learn from a wild animal how to live in particular, but I might learn something...of the purity of living in the physical senses and the dignity of living without bias or motive.
