Example moves the world

more than doctrine.

~ Henry Miller

Daily Zen - Monday, April 25

The moment one gives close attention

to anything, even a blade of grass,

it becomes a mysterious, awesome,

indescribably magnificent world in itself.

~ Henry Miller

Daily Zen - Friday, May 28

If we have not found

heaven within,

it is a certainty

we will not

find it without.

~ Henry Miller 

Daily Zen - Monday, January 11

Let each one turn his gaze inward

and regard himself with awe and wonder,

with mystery and reverence...let each

one work with his own influence, 

his own havoc, his own miracles.

~ Henry Miller

Daily Zen - Tuesday, October 27

In simplifying our lives, everything acquires a

significance hitherto unknown. When we are 

one with ourselves, the most insignificant 

blade of grass assumes its proper place in 

the universe. One thing becomes just as 

important as another, one person as good 

as another...The own precious self gets 

swallowed up in the ocean of being.

~ Henry Miller

The moment one gives close attention

Daily Zen - Tuesday, June 16

We all derive from the same source.

There is no mystery about the 

origin of things. We are all part

of creation – all kings, all poets,

all musicians; we have only to open 

up, to discover what is already there.

~ Henry Miller

Daily Zen - Tuesday, October 15

I obey only my instincts and intuition. 

I know nothing in advance. Often I put 

down things which I do not understand

myself, secure in the knowledge that later 

they will become clear and meaningful 

to me. I have faith in the man who is 

writing, who is myself, the writer.

~ Henry Miller

Daily Zen - Monday, December 10

The world has not to be

put in order, the world is

order incarnate. It is for 

us to put ourselves in 

unison with this order.

~ Henry Miller

Daily Zen - Wednesday, May 16

The worst is not death but being blind,

blind to the fact that everything about life

is in the nature of the miraculous.

~ Henry Miller

Daily Zen - Wednesday, November 30

We all derive from the same source. 

There is no mystery about the origin of things.

We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians;

we have only to open up, 

only to discover what is already there.

Daily Zen - Monday, November 21

Every man, when he gets quiet, 

when he becomes desperately honest with himself, 

is capable of uttering profound truths. 

~ Henry Miller

Daily Zen - Monday, January 25

The moment one gives close attention to anything,

even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious,

Daily Zen - Wednesday, November 21

If there is to be any peace, it will come through being, not having.
