but what we enjoy

constitutes our abundance.

life expresses itself clearly; 

it simply happens on its own. 

There's nothing else to get. 

The great truth is obvious.

The heart beats; the breath comes and goes.

You miss 100 percent of

the shots you never take.

Weekend Zen, October 27-28

You have to cultivate an attitude to life where you're 

not trying to get anything out of it. You pick up

a pebble on the beach, look at it. It's beautiful. 

Don't try and get a sermon out of it. Just enjoy it. 

Don't feel you've got to salve your conscience 

by saying that this is for the advancement

of your aesthetic understanding. Enjoy the pebble.

If you can do that, you become healthy.

~ Alan Watts

All things are the offspring

In times of great stress or adversity,

Be content with what you have.

Rejoice in the way things are.

When you realize there is

I wiped away the weeds and foam,

I fetched my sea-born treasures home;

But the poor, unsightly, noisome things

Had left their beauty on the shore,

With the sun and sand and the wild uproar.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
