everyday zazen

time to take a break from blogging.

it’s good to talk. it’s a way of  communicating with others,drawing closer to others. but,no matter how many words flow,there is a gap that cannot be bridged. words do not bring us into oneness with others.

but in silent stillness,we can be one with all beings.

what is right effort ? so often i swing between striving and making no effort. perhaps it is as walking into a stiff wind. leaning in to it allows progress.

i checked my bank account. i didn’t need to. it was simply a kneejerk reaction to anxiety. left alone the feeling would have passed.

in such small ways we continue suffering.
