Perceiving what is right and doing it not, argues lack of courage. Courage is doing what is right.

Zen is not a tool. It is an expression of the natural condition.

Start with a single moment.
Lose yourself in it.
Disappear.

1 + 2

In becoming a person, first you must disappear completely. Then you must rebuild - rise from the ashes. Become the person you were meant to be. Leave the darkness behind, and be on your way.

Everything comes down to time. Every moment is separate. Time is a construction of the mind. We are time.

Autumn Day

Lord: it is time. The summer was immense.
Lay your shadow on the sundials
and let loose the wind in the fields.

Bid the last fruits to be full;
give them another two more southerly days,
press them to ripeness, and chase
the last sweetness into the heavy wine.

Whoever has no house now will not build one anymore.
Whoever is alone now will remain so for a long time,
will stay up, read, write long letters,
and wander the avenues, up and down,
restlessly, while the leaves are blowing.

Rainer Maria Rilke
