To Know Everything . . .

Connect What You Can’t See to What You Can See!

Happy Friday to You!

I’m taking the day off to do some inner-work today and enjoy my garden.

I hope you enjoy this Tao Te zen sutra today and I’m sending you my wishes for a beautiful, fun filled weekend for you!

To Know Everything . . .

 

Between each “thing” is empty space – without which there can be no “place”.

Astronomers draw a series of lines – insects follow along the vines.

Under your feet are worlds gone by – above your head- infinite sky; are these things not pieces of a much larger pie?

Have you ever seen a man act like a woman – only to wonder why?

Tao-Te-zen practice is a simple “I don’t know?”

Zen does not choose – but asks the rocks where they’d like to go.

Zen is knowing that the old oak tree is wiser than you or me.

Zen is as no-mind – eyes open wide – a knowing that in nothing – nothing can’t hide.

Zen is the gardener with shovel in hand, knowing that handle and blade are but tree and land.

In zen, “can’t see” + “can see” = “IS”

Zen “IS”

Love and chi,

Paul Chek
