Daily Zen - Monday, June 13

I embrace emerging experience.

I participate in discovery.

I am a butterfly. I am 

not a butterfly collector.

I want the experience

of the butterfly.

~ William Stafford

Weekend Zen, April 17-18

I like to live in the sound of water,

in the feel of the mountain air. 

A sharp reminder hits me: this world 

still is alive; it stretches out there 

shivering toward its own creation, and I am 

part of it...This wilderness with a great

peacefulness in it. This motionless 

turmoil, this everything dance.

~ William Stafford

Daily Zen - Monday, January 27

Please think about this as you go on.

Breathe on the world.

Hold out your hands to it.

When mornings and evenings

roll along, watch how they 

open and close, how they

invite you to the long party

that your life is.

~ William Stafford

Weekend Zen, November 4-5

I embrace emerging experience.

I participate in discovery.

I am a butterfly.

I am not a butterfly collector.

I want the experience of the butterfly.
